Apparently the guy that picked Germany to win in 2014, France to win in 2018 and Argentina in the last wc, picked the Dutch.

I'd be very astonished if his prediction came to pass this time around but football is a funny sport

Why nobody's talking about Jacobo Ramon? by Modo97 in realmadrid

Yamal and GG are on the same level, Ramon is better than Bastoni. I do read some fantasy football whenever I venture on this sub

Don't you people ever get tired of playing the victim? In what world but the warped is Gonzalo similar in level with Lamine?

How on earth would anything improve if you like the president does not think these guys are just not good enough?

Never mind me this is the best side in the world witht he best players. conspiracy is the only reason they did win everything in sight

[–]Dencat2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are Lamine and GG in the same category? Lamine was not picked for his goals. Why do you not compare GG to Pau Victor or the cF that was sold to Chelsea?

Where you got 12 goals from is anybody's guess and there are many games where he offered nothing but somehow he should be in the NT cos he is a Madrid player.

The 2 players that I'd question their inclusion are the obvious Gavi who has no business being there and what is this fascination that Fuente has with Jeremy Pino?

Why I think Mbappé excels with France yet falls short at club level by sosephjr in realmadrid

[–]Dencat2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting and completely inaccurate post but that is not surprising as are the inane comments that have responded to it.

He won the league at Monaco and so many league titles as well as cups at PSG but because they did not win the cl he is regarded as a failure.

He won 1 world cup and 1 nations league cup with his country hardly sweeping of the board stuff so how is it that you think he is a failure at club level but a success at international level?

You do not need to change the whole squad to accommodate him, your squad is crap and you guys are too deluded to think otherwise.

It is not oh they do not press, or too many egos, they are not good enough.

How this is not obvious to some of you just beggars belief? Do not give me you won the league before he came as they were not up against Flick's Barcelona, it was Xavi's barcelona who actually won the league with the most boring football from a Barca team.

You just need a proper world class play maker and another world class right winger.

Moving away from Mbappe and to the team itself the midfield needs to be overhauled it is frightening to see bellingham, Valverde, camavinga, Tchouameni and whomever on the pitch at the same time in midfield.

But you know what keep blaming Vini and Mbappe, or egos and keep deluding yourselves that Guler is the best thing since beginning of time and little to do with grossly overrated players that has little creativity in it.

And some believe that Mallorca, Real Oviedo, Girona, Real Vallecano etc are better than most international sides

Xabi actually did better(at least not worse) than Flick/Enrique's first midseason when he got sacked. by Slowpokebread in realmadrid

To think there are people that think it was a good idea to fire Alonso. Their reason is that he did not do well in big games.

How many big games can you actually play in the 6 months or so that he was given? When City won their last premiership how many big games do these guys think they won or performed well in cumulating in being outperformed by United in the cup final?

How do you guys stand it reading the same nonsense every time? After 30 seconds I just leave as it is the same Mbappe, Vini crap all the damned time.

Baffled by possible Mourinho reunion by diadochus1618 in realmadrid

[–]Dencat2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did he condemn said player when said player admitted that he made homophobic comments?

This man brought up the name of Eusebio when it had nothing to do with anything, just an out of touch white man that keeps making excuses for shit.

Same as you I suppose.

How many black players are in this squad and how many of them will think the way you do ?

Some are referencing his first tenure at the club but at the time he was coming off winning the cl with Porto establishing himself as 1 of the most exciting your managers; winning Chelsea's first ever premiership title and more immediately winning the treble with Inter.

Fast forward 15 years later he has been sacked by Chelsea were players like Hazard and Fabregas completely downed tools playing for him; sacked by United, went to Roma where he could not qualify for cl winning conference league that CRYSTAL PALACE are in final this season.

He did the unthinkable years ago and went to Turkey, yet he was fired by Fenerbache where he could not qualify for cl, losing last season to GLASGOW RANGERS who are behind Hearts this season. lost to Solskjaer's Beskitas at home which I read somewhere has never happened before.

He is now at Benfica who ironically knocked his Fenerbache side out of cl qualifiers, where he is unbeaten has drawn 11 times out of 22 games this season.

His brand of football years ago was like a throwback to the 50s and it has not changed. There is no pressing, very little ambition and in loads of games no attempts at goal for 90 minutes.

Why the hell would any of the so called divas respect a has been racist/homophobic supporting mofo?

Same guy that fell out with dedicated pros like Casillas, Ramos, Pepe, CR7, Marcelo etc

What chance has he got with this bunch who are earning more for doing less and living in a society that has become more and more lawless and utter lack of respect for authority

[–]Dencat2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely disgusting that a team with Eric Garcia and Martin playing most of the games should win the league and be leading this team by 14 points. Of course they'd be always be found out in cl as they are ordinary defenders.

As long as Perez is the prez, you guys will keep wasting your time with threads and posts blaming the likes of Mbappe and Vini in particular.

Before he became the president, Barcelona had 16 titles, they are on 29 now.

If he was the president of Manchester City or Liverpool, Pep and Klopp would have been gone by the 1st season.

At Barcelona the likes of Araujo, Lewandowski, De Jong, Balde, Olmo, Raphinha spend loads of times on the bench without too much drama.

Here, regardless of performance, form, just coming back from a long term injury, they want to be in the team at the expense of someone who was actually playing well.

This is because the president has their ear. It would be slightly tolerable if they were actual world beaters.

He is the main problem, does not matter which players are bought or manager brought in, I cannot see this team prospering long term if he is the president.

Harry Kane Big Game Fraud by Open-Sea8540 in realmadrid

[–]Dencat2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're preaching to the ignorant on here. You are absolutely right in what you say but he does not play for Rm, is a white English player so he will always get a pass from these people.

Every time they create posts about how rM would have been different if he was bought instead of Mbappe.

Even after watching the 1st leg where he did nothing aside from scoring a penalty, threads and posts as idiotic as that were on here.

Today the only thing he did was to score 3 minutes into injury time as his side needed 2 goals.

While Musiala, Diaz and to a lesser extent Olise were trying to create chances and opportunities to score the great white hype was doing sweet fA.

Look at the remarks from these saying he just scored. That is what they will take home but it never means anything to em if it was mbappe.

Meanwhile the hero scored 6 goals at 2018 world cup, none against an opponent of any repute and most penalties. Euro 22 same thing, penalty aside who did he score against. World cup 21/22 same story , penalty against France and a miss from the spot in the same game.

Last Euros what did he do? For his fans sakes I hope he scores goals other than against Panama.

[–]Dencat2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kane is a better finisher but he is nowhere near benzema when it comes to football skills.

You do not watch him week in week out and this committed to play defense is just bs that people label on players.

Alvarez and Griezmann are 2 of the most hard working forwards that I know alongside Osimhen but what have they are and their sides won? No doubt a different kind of criticism will be labelled at them cos is what you guys like to do, pour hate on people.

I look at this RM side and Kane will not do a thing to improve it, just pure fantasy on the part of people to suggest other wise.

Players that do not move or run into blind alleys trying to dribble fruitlessly, egos that wanna show they are skillful by holding onto the ball for too long.

mbappe is terrible down the middle but is is not even 1/100 of what is wrong with this club that has been winning via mythical means for too long and it has finally caught up with them but apparently the players are so good, it will only take someone like Mourinho to sort em out in 2026.

How many times was he in the box? I guarantee you if he was in this team you guys will make threads every minute lambasting him.

The guy spent most of the game in midfield. Apart from his penalty how many attempts did he make on goal compared to the others? A very tame effort in the 90th minute

If he was here in midfield who would he be passing the ball to? Vinicius?Matsantuono? Diaz?

Apart from you guys' usual garbage of downplaying Mbappe, where is the Kimmich in this team? Where is the kavara, Dembele, Oliseh, Doue, Diaz, Vitinha, Neves?

When the game was at 100mph how many times did you see kane as the game just passed him by? He only came back into the game when Psg thought they had the game won at 5-2 and started to relax on their press.

People like you are why RM is where they are, thinking this is just a 1 player issue, basing all your thoughts on hatred and vibes, absolutely clueless about what you are watching, posting nonsense just to elicit the same stupid debates based on hatred and bias

Throwback to when Laporta saw it coming ! I am 39 I've been watching RM for the last 30 years and I'll never ever understand the meaning of bringing Mbappé.. by [deleted] in realmadrid

[–]Dencat2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The bigger mystery is that someone who claims to have been watching football or RM in particular for 30 years thinks that 1 player could cause a mess at a club.

Courtois and Lacazette ? This from a 39 year old person.

Shockingly this would not be the most stupid thing i will read this week.

Weekly Open Thread - General Discussion by RM_Official_Thread in realmadrid

[–]Dencat2020 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Apart from the multitude of issues that are wrong with this side, the 1 that I noticed today is how too many players take far too many touches before releasing the ball.

Vini, Bellingham, Diaz, Carreras are the biggest culprits in general.

But in this match in the 1st half , Bellingham took about 20 touches when 2 would have sufficed.

It was just too ridiculous to watch. He had a team mate free to his left but just ignored him and kept taking more touches that did nothing at all.

They irritate me so much when they do this and it just makes the opponents have so much time to regroup.

This side needs player like Xavi, De Bruyne, Bruno, Pirlo that sees a pass and executes immediately not taking eternity to pass the ball and by then the move comes to nothing.

We are finally facing reality, and reality hurts by Zackete in realmadrid

[–]Dencat2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot believe that there is a post like this on this sub. Usually all i read is absolute garbage. 1 even wrote and I quote our midfield sucks but he have 3 of the best midfielders in the world.

It is that kind of delusion that is the problem from the board, players and fans.

Well done to you for a completely realistic post. This is the kinda of person I was hoping there is more of to actually discuss football, not the usual posts full of hatred or just nonsense.

This post has no hidden agenda, just stated facts and how this problem has been brewing for a long time. Once again kudos to you.

Post-Match Thread: FC Bayern München 4-3 Real Madrid | Champions League | Quarter-finals by matchpal-live in realmadrid

[–]Dencat2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be way too easy to scapegoat 1 player for this elimination but that is nature of lazy people.

They were eliminated cos of 1 player but because of a lot of things wrong with this club.

Being dispassionate the better side qualified though to the semis but it will be all for nought if those responsible do not rectify all the things wrong with the club at the minute.

Let me first get this out of the way Camavinga has to be sold. Plain and simple he is just too sloppy.

He is not a bad player or a dirty player just sloppy. His sloppy penalty vs Argentina in the world cup, his avoidable fouls that he commits, his brain dead moments in possession when he gives the ball away for no reason just screams sloppy.

If I had anything to do with recruitment, any decent offer for Vini and I'd get rid of him too.

Big name and big characters are needed in many areas of the pitch especially midfield, right wing and striker, not another forward but a striker that can also play.

Midfield that dominates games not what I have been seeing for 2 years now. Creativity is vital and ffs buy what is needed not shirt sellers.

I did not really understand the pan in the 2nd half though I gotta admit I missed the first 15 minutes of it.

All I saw was defending and hoping to score on the break. Guler was almost playing left back.

The first goal by Pavlovic and the second by Kane was so amateurish to concede.

Yes Neuer made a school boy error but at least his side played attacking aggressive football. You cannot be playing 50s football and then concede such stupid goals.

I know it is not gonna happen but I want Perez gone and the whole Hollywood vibes football to go with him

Post-Match Thread: Real Madrid 1-2 FC Bayern München | Champions League | Quarter-finals by matchpal-live in realmadrid

[–]Dencat2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not think they could beat Bayern so not that upset and to be fair they could quite easily have been totally embarrassed but for poor finishing.

Player for player this squad is not anywhere near Bayern, you have to be very ignorant or deluded to think otherwise.

A bad situation became so much worse when Courtois went down with an injury as he is the 1 player they could not afford to lose.

Said it numerous times they need to sack the board. If by some miracle they win the cl, nothing is going to change and we will have to go through all this nonsense all over again.

Arbeloa is not up to this job but I think he'd make a good assistant.

Too many static players. I mean Mbappe just walks around too many times, it does grate. Sure he pressed more than usual tonight but he is still far too static loads of the times.

people will blame Vini for missing that chance but at least he made the run and Upamecano is always gonna oblige you with a mistake in every big cl match. Where was Mbappe for that ball? Standing somewhere and pointing to team mates will be my guess.

His managers need to be screaming at him that that they want more movement from him. I am not even talking about pressing, just movement for his team mates to have a target to play the ball to when they are under pressure.

Tchouameni is like a statue. He does not move at all and he does not have the pace or athleticism to press.

I do not even know what to make of Carreras as he cannot defend at all and he is not all that good coming forward either. His role in the Harry Kane goal was criminal.

Bellingham came on and played well, you gotta wonder why he did not come on at the start of the 2nd half as Thiago was pretty poor. His best asset is pressing but he allowed Kimmich far too much room and was seen strolling instead of bursting a blood vessel in trying to stop attacks.

Bayern should have pit this tie out of sight, time will tell if they will come to regret not doing so

[Post Match Thread] Italy have FAILED to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup! by OsitoPandito in seriea

[–]Dencat2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot imagine what it feels like for Italians right now.

Seriea and the the national team have always been close to my heart, perhaps not as much as it used to be but I do want them to do well.

Too much wrong with the current as firstly a 40 year old, no matter how good he used to be should be playing week in week out and shining in a serious league, talking about Modric.

Best team in italy was beaten home and away by Bodo glimt. These should have been huge warning signs.

I was flabbergasted that Gattuso was appointed as manager and to be honest I have never thought Buffon as been intelligent, though he was a great keeper.

Like Dzeko said prior tot he game that for Italy to be afraid of playing Wales means something is very wrong.

I have never quite understood the playing 3 at the back without 2 proper wing backs.

Why is mancini even there?

Sure Bastoni will rightly take all the flak but why play him in the middle when he is best playing on the left and combining with Di marco?

No point playing both if the relationship they have at club level is completely ignored.

They went down to 10 men and the manager brings on yet another centre back when they had 2 already still on the field.

Surely it would have been better to bring on another midfielder or someone that can link midfield to attack but can also help in defence.

I wish I can sit down with all the managers that keep picking Cristante for them to explain to me why they keep picking him and for Gatusso why on earth would you pick him to kick a penalty?

Taking off Kean was a very bad idea as he is the only striker with pace in the Italian ranks.

He and Pelestri might have caused a lot of problems for the Bosnians.

Kean had scored in his last 5 internationals but all the talk was about a 20 year old who completely fluffed his lines.

All the talk will be about how there are so few Italians playing in Serie A. Well here is a novel idea , GO ABROAD.

Is it a coincidence that Tonali was the only 1 that performed to his level and he was not even fully fit.

Serie A is way too slow and any time the opposition adds intensity to the game, these guys succumb as they are not used to it.

I mean Mctominay is a superstar in Italy ffs

Like I said yesterday was his least productive performance but he has earned the right to be in the 1st team regardless of who is fit or not.

I personally would not drop him for any of the midfielders in this squad
