The Rumour Commode L - Take the L

Saw a video from training… Chuk is straight up a RWB

I have no idea what to expect from Amorim. I didn’t see anything of his approach with his previous clubs. I just hope his stint at Milan is not a repeat of his time with Utd. As it was a disaster by all accounts.

Yeah it's hard to make any opinion on the guy, his set up, philosophies, etc etc, until we see a few games.

That's why honestly, I'm intrigued by the game Vrs Celtic.

Not a big game, not a bad team, some of our players might still be on holiday? So it'll be a good test for the squad at large... And we know how I love "squad construction".

I obviously wish failure on Milan in this match, and that Maldini wins by scoring the winning penalty!!!

I mean naturally it’s a given right ? Anyone who supports a club for well over 30 years clearly hates that club.

Before the match people were acting as if France were about to face 11 guards from Epstein Island, not the nation that regularly beats them.

Football identity and tactical/technical discipline >>> 5 skilled attackers

If there were any justice in football, Kvaratskhelia would be winning the Ballon d'Or

One thing I've noticed about Spain is that they almost never lose in semis or finals. They either crash out early in the group stage or the Round of 16, or they go all the way and win the whole thing. Maybe it's because when their system and collective play click, they become almost impossible to beat. If it doesn't, they tend to go out much earlier.

They were the superior and more composed team in every respect. France looked disjointed and desperate for a moment of magic from one of their attacking players.

Whom ever Spain play in the final - hopefully Argentina. I hope Spain win it. And the world of football can move on from the Messi or CR7 goat debate.

The football world needs also to be saved from the English media. They already never stop going on about the Premier League — I can't even imagine the level of propaganda we'd have to endure if England actually won the World Cup..They've even managed to convince people that an ordinary player like Rice is a genuine Ballon d'Or contender !!!

 

[Massaro94]

Even if spain win 2026 world cup, theres should be no way he deserve balon dor.
Argentina win = messi balon dor
England win = kane balon dor
Spain win = messi/kane (depending on who spain face off in the final)

Oh hell no

Kane... for scoring penalties???

If England win it should go straight to Bellingham.

He's carrying the team on his back.

 

[Massaro94]

Imagine giving another ballon d or to burger league player Messi..inter miami would have 2 ballon dors lololo

Tbf if Arg do win then Messi deserves balon dor.

Heck I'd give him balon dor just for reaching the final

 

[Soldier_of_god]

Bellingham technically is nothing special at all. I don’t rate him but somehow he is effective. Like a mechanical cam.

 

[Massaro94]

Nah..Messi was a Inter Miami player when he won his last ballon dor..even if he won it because of his “previous season” in PSG..still thats bad. He was a shadow of his barca days in both seasons at PSG..


Messi and Ronaldo could play until they are 60 and still be fairly considered as still some of the very best regard anything..their careers gave them this credit…but the truth is we all know..Messi/Ronaldo are not even top 10 players anymore…they cant run..they cant do a lot of things they used to do..but yeah both are still magical when they are in their favourites moments of the game

Na Messi right now is clear of cr7. Lets not do this. Just because hes playing in miami shouldnt stop him from getting balon dor.

We should just appreciate what he's doing at 39.

Watching him or Mbappé play feels like watching AI-generated footballers — perfect machines, but lacking a bit of soul. I'd take Vinícius, Kvara or Luis Diaz over that any day. They may be less efficient, but they play with instinct

Definitely. The levels of smugness already present in the British media is overbearing. They have been emboldened by England making the semis.

I dread to think how insufferable they would be if England made the final or won the World Cup. I even know a few English people who are hoping England lose tonight for the same reasons.

 

[Massaro94]

England to win 3-1.

Argentina have never lost a world cup semi final

So dont gamble all your potatoes eh

 

[Massaro94]

Kids got cojones. You need that from your teammates

Maaan you are putting team without serious trophy since 1966 in the final, before the team that have 5 big trphies since 2019.

You hade the same narrative for France. They are to fast, Spain is playing slowly

England is full of overrated players

 

[doraemon]

Oh hell no

Kane... for scoring penalties???

If England win it should go straight to Bellingham.

Bellingham clearly mvp of the tournament so far with messi second
However kane goalscoring record for 25/26 just too great to ignore, couple it with england wc performance then thats the main ingredient for a balon dor recipient.

 

[Milanista from Russia]

Milan manager Ruben Amorim: "The quality of our football will be crucial because the Serie A is extremely demanding. We want to DOMINATE games and win, with players who are strong in one-on-one situations."

"We have many objectives ahead of us. I won't make many promises, our actions will matter most. There will be obstacles, but we want to be ambitious. I love Milanello; it's an exceptional place. My experiences, including the mistakes I've made in the past, have made me a better Coach."

There was already one such dominant player two years ago, who received five goals from Torino and Parma in the first two rounds and retired.

In order to fulfill Amorim's fantasies, Milan needs to completely update its midfield and lateral corps.

 

[mrki]

Dominate games... oh no hahah. WIN games... that's what you do in serie a.

I think he will get 5/6 i.portant players. That's fair and enough. 2 cb's, fullback, midfielder, no.9, trequartista.

If he fails then its his fault. The team will be good.

Stop it bro.

Nobody cares about the bundesliga where bayern are the overwhelming favourites every year. Same reason why lewa never won it few years back

Let’s hope neither one of them win the World Cup or the Balon D’or can you imagine the gloating from the British media. They would never let anyone forget it.

Pay them to take him
Throw in Chuck as a thank you gesture of goodwill

 

[MilanBG]

Ah yes, another season of trying to win 1-0 at San Siro against Pescara with the ugliest possible football.
Can't fucking wait

 

[MilanBG]

Just ask them how much they want us to give them and pay it by the end of the day

 

[leaf]

Lol, had no idea about Palestine flag. Who cares about a place that doesn't exist anyway.

Point being, Barca prodigies are dime a dozen. Bojan, puig, enso fati. All were promised to be next thing and yet la masia hasn't produced it since Messi. High rise quick fall, their knees usually don't hold up unless you give them the Messi growth hormones.
The next 'world class' is Olise in my book.
If we're talking about 'football IQ', look at Pedri at age 21. Already performing consistently for Barca and Spain.

Cubarsi is 19 as well ffs. Despite not being fast or bulky has shown awareness and understanding of potential threats by France. Has contained Mbappe, Barcola and Duoe, who crushed previous defences.

Yamal, who was impressive in CL as well, has dribbling ability, speed, and technique. Hasn't shown anything that relates to understanding football at a high level, and time will tell if he will.

Yamal, let me repeat, has had a disappointing WC before this match, a sentiment which I believe dear Massaro also shared and forgot, and hasn't exactly scored a brace/hattrick today. Was lucky to have senior citizen Digne in front of him to abuse, and a mediocre Lacroix to deal with, because given that Saliba would've been on the pitch, France's defence wouldn't look like Sunday league level.

There's a reason why, after the 15' minute mark, all threats and goal situations came from France's left side, and it isn't because Yamal suddenly unlocked his 'limitless' brain capacity and became WC mid-match.

You don't reach the levels Yamal has without an incredibly high football IQ

He isn't just a skillful player. His football brain is amazing

Its time to play fucking football. In every league its possible, but in Italy NOO! Come on, calcio is shit in last 10-12 yeras. Everybody need some changes.

Enough with Allegri and shitters like him
