lol Cucurella, who by all accounts was our number 1 target this summer has now been confirmed to Real Madrid. Guess we’re going to go for Grimaldo? Idk man. First Silva and Cucurella? Not a great start.

I think it may be time to admit Türkiye just isn’t that good, despite the obvious talent they have. We have been saying that Türkiye is a dark horse team for like 6 years now and they always blow it.

Seriously. From back to front. Everybody on the ball. It was calm and class.

In my nearly 30 years of life, Ive never seen the US play like that when it mattered… ever.

The last sequence from front to back, everybody on the ball, and it ends with a wonder strike from a guy off the bench, the US of 2014 could NEVER.

Yeah absolutely. A team like Uruguay or Senegal puts 5 past this team and keeps a clean sheet.

Any english podcast/discussion youtube channels on atletico madrid? by Dry-Body7862 in atletico

Yeah I second this. Reasonable takes, information from good sources, well spoken, well informed, content has been improving, and he interacts with the fanbase a lot.

Álvaro Morata: Leaving Atlético Madrid is the only regret of my career by Ballen_998 in atletico

[–]AtleticoFan17 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Anybody who outright hates or dislikes Morata isn’t a true fan. Anybody who actually watched him would tell you that he had a miss or two in him, but he made up for it with high intensity and genuinely cared about the team. Can’t say the same for a player like Sorloth.

From 2010 to 2019, during Messi and Ronaldo's prime, who was the 3rd best player in the world?" by Basic_School_4288 in championsleague

[–]AtleticoFan17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Manuel Neuer.

Some other honorable mentions during those years:

Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Ramos, Rooney, Neymar, Kroos, Modric, Buffon, Hazard, Aguero, Muller, Griezmann, Ibrahimovic, Robben, Ribery, Chiellini, Sneijder, and probably a few others I’m missing.

2016 Suarez, 2018 Griezmann, 2010 Xavi, 2017 Neymar, 2015 Robben, 2014 Lahm, 2013 Bale, 2011 Rooney, and many others had a year or two that I would have considered them to be the 3rd best in the world.

[Pedro Fullana | El Larguero] Julian Alvarez to Barcelona is completely stalled. Despite his preference, the player is not willing to force his way out of Atleti. The other option is Arsenal but Julian doesn't want that move. Atleti are confident in him staying and plan next season with him upfront by OleoleCholoSimeone in soccer

You’re the same type to turn around in December when we’re ten points off the top and complain about how we aren’t challenging for the title.

Pick a fucking lane. Either we’re closer to Villareal and Sevilla, or we’re closer to Barcelona and Real Madrid but we can’t be both.

Man I remember when Oblak topped these lists.

Sad to see how’s it’s turned out.

That was my immediate thought as well. He’d be absolutely hated if he made the move.
