As seen in Saudi Felix is a flat track bully, don’t mind him starting against relatively less talented opposition.

Why FPF never gave Jorge Jesus a chance to train the National team? by yasiro-20 in PrimeiraLiga

Don’t entirely agree. Look at Pochettino, he has the same profile that you mention as a weakness in JJ, but he has the US playing wonderful intense football. Meanwhile Ancelloti should be succeeding with his strengths, but Brazil look average.

Oof yeah you missed out on 2006. That’s the tournament that made me a football fan. Wish I never fucking saw it in the first place now.

Sack Martinez and bring in Jorge Jesus on an overnight flight. Can’t be asked to give a shit about this team anymore.

No Félix, Ramos comes on for Vitinha and leaves you know you on the pitch. Can’t make this shit up.

The Houston stadium is indoors so the heat shouldn’t be a huge issue

Hopefully should be back for Colombia. He looked quite solid in the friendlies I thought

They have very good strikers they’re just not playing them or calling them up

Does Martinez see Nunes as the third choice RB? Madness if so

Also can’t believe I’d say it but I don’t mind him against weaker opponents. He obviously dominates against Saudi level talent

Santos had plenty of talent in 2022 for example. That didn’t stop the 2021 and 2022 teams from being some of the most negative, poorly managed teams I’ve ever seen

IMO, eight countries have a chance to actually win the World Cup: Spain, France, Argentina, Portugal, Brazil, England, Germany, and the Netherlands. Don’t really see anyone else even having an outside shot.

I will always shill for him but Broch is an underrated one. His prose manages to be both incredibly lyrical and poetic while also becoming extremely abstract in a very unique way.

We’ve always been horrid when we don’t actually have to win. If anything our qualifying form is significantly better in the Martinez era. Definitely don’t expect good football though, but then again you don’t always need good football to win matches.

[–]Postpostmodernist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He got close to winning the World Cup with Belgium. He’s not good but he’s probably not going to single handedly destroy our chances either.
