World Cup: National Team threads #2

This guy is a clown, and Argentina sans Messi is such an unlikable team.

Call the wambulance.

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

Imagine being such a racist that you feel the need to call Vinicius 'Nelson Mandela' because he had the audacity to feel badly and speak up about the racist abuse he's suffered.

A real hero right there. Made all the funnier when it's by someone who has to cosplay as a Spaniard to enjoy the sport. I'm honestly 75/25 on whether that guy even lives in Barcelona or is just pretending and he's actually in Romania.

Nothing to add. Just feels like this should be quoted

Rob Beckett isn’t a comedian. He’s a sentient pair of dentures.

Griezmann retires from the french NT.

Worth noting that Griezmann ABSOLUTELY wanted to play WC in the US. He's also close to the Cap record.
There have been rumors of a big rift with DD. I think it's more than rumors now.

Kleindienst is expected to be nominated for the next international break. Well deserved.

Next we need Chabot to get integrated at CB. His ballskills may be meh, but he’s the best German defender atm.

If Pavlovic can take over for Groß as well, I’ll feel really good about our chances in 2026:

Musiala - Undav* - Havertz - Wirtz
Pavlovic - Andrich/Stiller
Mittelstadt - Schlotterbeck - Chabot/Rüdiger - Kimmich
ter Stegen​

*Füllkrug / Beier / Kleindienst / Moukoko / Burkardt // Sane / Führich / Brandt / Gruda / Wanner / Adeyemi

Reward for moving out of the toilet city and having a good start to the season.

Bild is reporting that Baumann, Nübel, and Blaswich will be Nagelsmann's nominations in goal...I don't understand the Blaswich love. If you don't want the drama of Trapp or Leno thinking they deserve the job over ter Stegen, why not pick Ortega?
