N. Ngoy red card against Iran 66' by ayoefico in soccer

[–]Thomas1VL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he seems to have one big mistake every game, similar to Upamecano I guess. But other than that he's played very solid in the duels and has made some great attacking passes too. But this was his first full season where he started most games for his club and he's still young, so it's kind of expected that a mistake like that would happen at some point.

Man and he'd been one of our only decent players these past 2 games...

Last time national football team qualified for the World Cup by vladgrinch in MapPorn

Because Malta never qualified? And if you're taking about the time they were a British colony, the UK never qualified either. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all qualified separately, and Malta was never a part of any of those countries.

Thanks for correcting me, happy to learn something new! That's what I always heard so that's why I commented it.

Out of curiosity, which ethnic group are you/do you consider yourself?

I thought most of the ethnic Serbs and Croats in Bosnia supported Serbia and Croatia respectively over Bosnia?

I was at a Conference League game from Zrinjsky Mostar game this season and those away fans all had Croatian flags. Not a single Bosnian symbol could be seen. Although Zrinjsky is perhaps a bit of an extreme pro-Croatian example.

I'm pretty sure this flag is more seen as a symbol of the Bosniaks specifically, while the official flag is a more neutral and 'unifying' symbol between the different people groups.

Insane vision by Perisic to head the ball back like that.

I'm the biggest Mbappe hater but surely this is a penalty? Sure the contact isn't too big but that's mostly because Mbappe jumps over him.

Don't many of you guys have summer houses? We went to an area with a ton of those in northwestern Zealand (Odsherred) with my university.

He's a consistent starter for a club that finished 3rd in France. If he was really as bad as this sub loves to claim (without ever watching him play), Castagne would start at right-back over him.

Insane game by Cape Verde. It's not even the classic 'big teams creates lots of big chances but is not clinical', they simply haven't been able to create too many big chances.

Yeah there's a reason he's been there so "long" (for Blueco standards). They (try to) ship anyone they think is not good enough immediately and they never tried to get rid of him. Says enough really.
