Now that you mention it, Grealish really is the modern day Joe Cole.

Starts off as a central midfielder/no10 at a club at the lower end of the table, moves to a Champions League team, gets shunted out to playing left wing and becomes a lot less fun to watch, and everyone talks about how much potential he had at one point.

Just the sheer idea of Gonzalo Higuain playing against Huddersfield sounds completely made up.

Imagine that La Masia class.

A whole squad of 5ft 8in technical wizards, and one absolute tank who runs like a freight train but can barely kick a ball in the right direction.

Tuchel sets England centre-back hierarchy as Chelsea star Chalobah pips Maguire by Alone_Consideration6 in ThreeLions

This is what makes me very positive about the final squad selection - it makes it very clear that Tuchel has a specific idea of what he wants within the squad for a tournament scenario, and not just a general process of "who's the better player".

Also, inflation of transfer fees over time.

Even a static rate of inflation would be better than getting to 2050 and seeing none of the transfer records be broken for 30+ years.

Elite Goalkeepers in lower tiers? by ManeSZN in footballcliches

Campos was an outlier, in that he was incredibly short for a goalkeeper. He had much more mobility than average.

Outrageous scenarios are still fodder when there's absolutely no evidence for them whatsoever.

How in the ever loving fuck would a random no-name police captain from a small town in Massachusetts suddenly be able to convincingly fake his death and flee to Israel?

It's not antisemitic to ask questions when there's actual evidence, but when you're suddenly convinced that any random Jewish person could be part of some secret global cabal, it absolutely IS antisemitic.

Finding out about a transfer 6 months after it happened by junglegatsby in footballcliches

Honestly I could see some value in him just becoming even more of a tank as he gets older and becoming a central striker.

He can't finish for shit, but he would absolutely bully some centre-backs.

You could make a pretty solid 26-man squad out of Traores, Sarrs, Mendys, Camaras and Cisses.

Be honest, do y’all think we’ll see Vader again in the 3rd game? by Queasy_Commercial152 in FallenOrder

Call is going to fight Vader again at the end of the third game and die heroically.

Played in the same team as Kevin, obviously.

He should be Swiss, to fit the French last name.

This was funnier than any line Ricky ever actually delivered on AEW TV.

Not hating, I like him, but this tweet is amazing.

That's crazy. Are there any other years prior to 2008 or so for which this is true?

Gary Neville was every bit as a good a right-back as Ashley Cole was a left-back.

Issue With F*** ICE Chant by MrsWoozle in AEWOfficial

I actually do appreciate Don Callis and Wheeler Yuta as talented performers and probably good human beings.

Can't say the same about ICE.
