So kinda like the Champions League?

Players are never going to get rest. I hope they just qualify off a ranking and don’t actually play qualifiers . This is getting beyond ridiculous.

Champion$ League.

More like $Fifa$ Cup. Getting the whole band together. Not like they have to also play actual World Cup qualifiers for 2026 or anything that summer

Sort of. Except now we'll get to watch Inter Miami get absolutely f***ing wrecked by Bayern.

Thankfully they will avoid Chelsea.

Not necessarily.

Last 4 champions league winners auto qualify (2024 and back). So we'll be in. An Italian team could never, though.

You can thank Pulisic.

For an Italian team not making it? Sure. Whatever excuse you need.

Idk, but they lost another target. This one to Inter.

Thuram?

 

[Starat327]

@FLYguy3911 with inter getting Thuram does that mean lukaku is off to Saudi now? Can't imagine anyone else touches him. Or is this the lukaku-Martinez swap deal now

SoFIFA thinks they keep him.

Not a chance. The supporters would never allow it to happen. Chelsea will take a loss on his book value before he wears blue in London again. Too much damage done.

I meant Inter not Chelsea.

Makes sense. His only other real option is Saudi. I'm not sure I buy the Milan interest. They're still broke, and Giroud is better anyway.

I was gonna ask about him. Some internet folks were lukewarm on him.

Great player hampered by Injuries, and looks worse than he is because we loterally played him in 5 different positions over the last 4 years.

Great Ball playing midfielder, can take people on 1:1 and good vision. In the 18-19 season under Sarri, he was on his way to become a legit star, then ruptured his Achilles, unfortunately.

good to see Liverpool getting a proper midfield

Szoboszlai and Mac are a good start...don't think Pool are done though

Depends on what he plans on doing with Trent next season, but yeah, ideally one more.
