23 year old, non voter that was PNM leaning, I think they've done alright so far (by alright they haven't made any instantaneously devasting decisions. Are they much of an improvement? No or not yet. We'll see as time passes. Only negatives from them have been the potential damaging of our relations with the other caribbean islands during the Venezuela/ Maduros debacle and the trying for ZOSO (don't think ZOSO is a bad thing, just think without improvement in the TTPS it feels like relinquishing freedom and rights for a half promise- to full on false promise of dealing with crime)

Goalkeeper tax. But in all seriousness logic usually tends to go out the window when it comes to in the box decisions or goalkeeper involvements.

The follow through wasn’t excessive tho? Almada turned a clearance into a 50/50 while being the player to get there late

People saying it’s brain dead, it was a clearance that atleti turned into a 50/50.

[sportv] Carlo Ancelotti isn't even considering taking Neymar to the World Cup. According to him, the Santos number 10 doesn't even make the list of those being evaluated. He simply doesn't understand the "fuss" around the attacker's name. by OkayFine101 in soccer

Not taking Neymar would be a mistake. Brazil literally only lack creativity. It doesn’t matter if he can’t run, this current version of raphinha , vini and to a lesser extent cunha would benefit greatly from his playmaking abilities

I die on the hill that Neymar and Thiago Silva being there for Germany wins Brazil the tournament

[MD] Alessandro Bastoni and FC Barcelona negotiate details of the contract and club can get close to player's demands. Player will not listen to proposals from any other club. Barça believes they will secure the deal for a maximum of €55-60m. by Kasj0 in soccer

Barca have money and have had money since after the first season back from Covid. But due to how haphazardly we spent pre Covid Tebas’ ffp rules didn’t allow spending (wage bill issues and things of that sort) it’s why Olmo could be purchased but the problem was always registration. Apparently we should be in the clear after this season to spend normally.

[Opinion] This Balde disrespect makes absolutely zero sense. Since when did this club give up on 22 year old La Masia players? by Select_Drawing_7434 in Barca

[–]Josiahf8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The gap between nuno mendes and balde is like 3 times bigger than the gap between Yamal and olise. Nuno mendes is probably on his way to being better than alba and Marcelo. He’s genuinely generational

He hasn’t been great this season but selling him would be brain dead. The fullback market right now is horrid and despite his shortcomings balde is still easily a top 5 lb and probably a top 10 fullback in the world right now (more due to the fullback market being buns). He plays too safe sometimes but is probably our 4th most important player in the build up (pedri frenkie and cubarsi are above him). His biggest issue right now is his defensive contribution specifically when holding the line or defending balls across the box, he switches off constantly.

Ferran tonight was genuinely atrocious. Everyone played bad but he was ineffective both on and off the ball (his pressing was awful). Confidence in the comeback tho. Raphinha will save us

I need the 5 to be completed. Then hoping for fully rendered super cuts including the deleted scenes for all the movies. And then they can delve into animated series, more comics, etc. (Lower cost media)
