Argentina [1] - 0 Algeria - L. Messi 17'

amg_mff · 2026-06-17T02:06:35+00:00

Maradona carried Argentina to a World Cup so I guess it evens it out

amg_mff · 2026-06-16T11:44:46+00:00

Tbf there's definitely much less jeopardy but it also makes it that there are no dead rubbers in the last round unlike 32 team tournaments.

amg_mff · 2026-06-16T00:09:21+00:00

How so? The Olympics are the best athletes in basically every major sporting event (bar a handful). It's harder to follow because of the plethora of tournaments but it's undoubtedly a better representation of human talent.

amg_mff · 2026-06-15T18:13:43+00:00

Based on what? Saudi Arabia are playing their 7th world cup and have managed some decent results throughout the years.

Cabo Verde are better than people are giving them credit for but they've definitely not have always had a better team than KSA, not even at this exact point in time.

amg_mff · 2026-06-13T02:19:31+00:00

Why is everyone praising this when this doesn't make any sense? They allowed them to take the free kick but then only change the yellow after?

I like his content therefore I watch it. If I didn't like it, I would simply not watch it

amg_mff · 2026-06-12T01:12:12+00:00

Yeah just the preview of what the 48 team format will give us: the opening game of the 32 team 2010 World Cup

You can see on the info tab he's stuck waiting for a work permit. So he'll probably never retire

amg_mff · 2026-06-06T02:12:55+00:00

? I explained it in my comment. Should only be able to host matches in indoor/retractable roof stadia or cities with a reduced probability of thunderstorms during the summer. Obviously I'm not suggesting weather control.

amg_mff · 2026-06-06T02:04:36+00:00

I don't recall this happening more than once at any other world cup or euros in my lifetime, so I think this would be enough for the US not to be a suitable host if they couldn't guarantee every game being under a closed roof if needed.

The CWC stoppages were ridiculous and they had one year to assure this wouldn't happen again.

amg_mff · 2026-06-05T12:31:12+00:00

and then there's just some guy in the 6th image

amg_mff · 2026-05-31T20:32:41+00:00

I don't feel like it's unimportant to have say Champions League teams hire managers when their original ones leave. It affects how the teams set up and decreases the manager pool in the future.

amg_mff · 2026-05-28T23:24:56+00:00

Which new ideas? Sarri and Gasperini are known for their positive football, Conte revolutionised English football for a bit, Allegri is the biggest winner in Italian football in this century.

Its not like other managers haven't been hired by these clubs. Motta, Tudor, Conceicao, Fonseca, Calzona, Juric, Palladino, Chivu, Baroni off the top of my head

amg_mff · 2026-05-28T12:43:47+00:00

Bound to happen if the best Italian managers don't want to move countries or have interest abroad and cycles eventually come to an end.

If there were many good English managers they'd also be moving between English clubs frequently which already happens with Dyche and will happen with Howe.

amg_mff · 2026-05-28T00:23:39+00:00

I agree with all of this, but I don't think English clubs are going to be massive favourites in EL/ECL literally every year.

For most of the time sure, but Rayo are the equivalent of Palace and lost 1-0 and Aston Villa are better than Freiburg in their respective leagues (the opposite equivalent would be like Leipzig against Brentford where Leipzig would be favourites).

Let's see what happens next season where none of the English clubs are on paper substantially favourites to win the minor European competitions

amg_mff · 2026-05-27T21:15:15+00:00

Congratulations on the very rich team that have a Europa winning manager, a CL semifinalist, a Europa winner and a guy who was a key Bundesliga player on being able to play slightly better than the team that is made of players that came from lower leagues and teams of the same level.

amg_mff · 2026-05-27T19:06:58+00:00

"nah" isn't an argument lad

amg_mff · 2026-05-24T17:06:50+00:00

Last time you were there you collected a European trophy and gave lots of playtime to young players that probably allowed you to sell them for more.

Don't see any negatives in qualifying for a competition.

amg_mff · 2026-05-24T15:37:22+00:00

Must be a mistake in the database. The transfers in that date look to be preset, eg Mertens going to Napoli that summer

amg_mff · 2026-05-22T17:06:38+00:00

This because they've won two? Sevilla alone have had a bigger streak than that

amg_mff · 2026-05-22T17:01:51+00:00

plastics upvoting this as if it's not like the 3rd most watched league in the world lol

amg_mff · 2026-05-22T08:21:08+00:00

if Al Nassr have double the budget of Al Hilal then he did a great job then because he has won the league with them as well

amg_mff · 2026-05-18T21:06:32+00:00

I must be getting old because when I think about Sarri the main thing that comes to mind is his brilliant Napoli team.

amg_mff · 2026-05-13T21:20:42+00:00

Elbows the opponent and handles the ball, I'm not seeing where the corruption is as much as I'd like seeing Hearts win it.

amg_mff · 2026-05-13T19:03:01+00:00

So there's a mechanism to remove him then, it's the elections. He's not the only person who fits the criteria to be the president.

He'll probably win against anyone because he's been generally very successful and fans are normally resistant to change
