I'd like to see Pavlovic there too, he is a really good passer. Could reign Germany's midfield for a decade+.

Speaking of the kid, JN gave him some love after that match. Won’t be surprised if he has an eye to bleeding him in before the WM, so he’s not just a bench option when the NT comes to NA.

Stiller got some shine from Nagelsmann as well. I am curious about how those two would look together from the start.

Anyone watching England with half a brain in the Euros knew that this was a painstakingly obvious tactical tweak.

I live in fear of England hiring a manager with the courage to drop Foden and Bellingham for Gordon and Palmer - it would be a downgrade on paper, but tactically it would make so much more sense.

I'm at work and Hee Chan scored against Oman to make it 1-0 but it's 1-1 at the half

Go South Korea fighting

 

[John Price]

Argentina v Colombia first half was king of the foul-fest

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I would’ve bet the house Nico f***s that up but he scores lol

Well taken

Man, Chile is truly bad.

SA I think in general is at a down turn except Uruguay and Argentina.

Brazil shouldn’t be as bad but they’re run by idiots. Still developing crazy players just not the level of Neymar or Dinho on offence. Having to really on Vini is brutal and rodrygo.

Tough loss can’t win them all. Really missed Alexis today

their disrespect to Neymar is coming back to bite them, now that they have no one of his transcendent creativity

Tbf he didn’t really help himself at times. Their only trophy in 17 years and he missed that tournament.

i don't know the Copas on a detailed level so i'll defer to you on those, but he did everything he could at world cups surrounded by shit and coached by morons.

Paraguay up 1-0 on Brasil

He was godly in 2014 I don’t mean to say he was bad for them just that he missed the only tournament they managed to win and they soured on his attitude and perceived antics.

Party time in Asuncion. Brasil was terrible, really.

Balon dor Vini

When "ballon d'or/nelson mandela" Vinicius, who should be your best player, hasn't scored for you since 2022 and has a goal every 467 minutes for the NT (lol), life's difficult in the SA qualifications
