World Cup: National Team threads #2

[Ajacied]

Gravenberch starting to reach his potential is also a blessing in disguise for Oranje as well. Would love a midfield trio of:

————— Simons —————
- Frenkie —— Gravenberch -

What about Koopmeiners?

You’d think it wouldn’t be hard to form an excellent double pivot with WZE & Kone as options for one spot + Cama & Tchou for the other. Then you play Doue or Cherki behind the striker in the front 4, and there would be plenty of creative support on the pitch.

 

[Evilo]

I think Cama+Tchou is enough. Rabiot, WZE can backup. Indeed give Cherki a chance at 10. Olise if you really don't trust him.
Then Mbappe/Barcola on the left, Dembouz/Olise on the right.
We're thin at 9, but Tel is the option for the future.

And the front 3 attack?

And the front 3 attack?

Gakpo - Brobbey/Zirkzee - Malen?

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Gakpo - Brobbey/Zirkzee - Malen?

An eye sore

 

[cgf]

An eye sore

Yeah not very skilled, but Brobbey's strong as an ox, Malen is fast, and Gakpo has great size. So they could be a physical threat

 

[Power Man]

Amoura not starting


Can someone punch Petkovic in the mouth?

 

[luiginb]

England playing with 8 offensive starters, I like this unknown coach, he's like the exact opposite of Southgate

 

[Scandale du Jour]

What a gaffe by the Israel goalkeeper.

 

[Fjorden]

Erling Haaland, 1-0.
Breaks Jørgen Juve's record from 1937 as Norway's topscorer of all time, both on 33 goals now.

 

[luiginb]

Pickford is in horrific form this year. Collwill and then the offside flag save his ass on two huge mistakes.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

France are so incredibly sloppy.

EDIT: And they took it personally.

 

[Civetty]

Slovakia - Sweden tomorrow, feels like a game where both countries are terrified.

Neither, with the teams they have should be in the C division.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Between his excellent start to the club season and his so-far, so-great for England, gotta think Colwill has basically locked down that LCB spot for the foreseeable future.

 

[Venkman]

Weird set up by Carsley. Palmer next to Rice when England are defending. Still getting forward though and had England's best chance in the box. His average position is similar to Bellingham and Foden so pretty much three 10s. TAA high and tucked inside.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Greece take the lead off some insanely passive defending from England.

 

[gary69]

Surrounded by 5 English players, Pavlidis manages to get a shot off and put Greece ahead.

Maybe playing Palmer as one of your deeper midfielders is dumb

But that's the consequence of your all-action, game-controlling 8 going to Real Madrid. Starboys don't wanna do the dirty work. "WHO ELSE."

If Saka is injured I'm gonna throw a fit

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

If Saka is injured I'm gonna throw a fit

He's cried wolf with a limp off the pitch too many times for me to take it at face value anymore.

Jesus that back line is straight out of 2018 horrors. Was hoping Soler could sneak on. Scaloni has gotten a few things wrong, Musso should be absolutely starting. Almada over Buonette is a joke

 

[gary69]

Pavlidis scored again, but perhaps was offside. Yes, offside.
