They should, but there's a fair bit of money involved and most FA's need that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Sergio Ramos becomes the most capped European player of all time, cap 176 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 To go back to the Iceland chat for a moment, they really were hugely unlucky in that Hungary game. The equaliser took two pinball deflections in the area, and Iceland should have had a throw-in in the build-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Sweden with a really solid first half against a weak Croatian side missing a few key players like Brozovic, Vida, Lovren and Vrsaljko. 2-0 up and Kulusevski with his first competitive goal for Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Saw this question asked earlier and the answer asks a lot of questions - Who is the best international manager right now? There's so many banag average, failed team managers in charge of good players Not sure if the money in club football has moved the sticks or what but it's pretty desperate out there, Luis Enrique you can make an arguement that with everything that's happened in his life might have done more at club level but you're gonna drag up mancini with city as a manager who's won something which tells you everything you need to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladimir Petkovic is also a decent manager and surprise he left Lazio for Switzerland I dont really rate Enrique club work, yes he won trophies but he had a formidable attack at the time. Failed miserably at Roma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failed miserably at Roma Deschamps is the obvious one cos he's winning stuff but he's got a squad deeper than the whats it's face trench I'd say France haven't got a natural world class goal scorer and then it's your opinion on lloris but top 5 player in every position you'd throw a French bloke in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Gambia doing a bit of classic shithousery in not allowing the Gabon players into the country and forcing them to sleep on the floor at the airport ahead of the game between the two nations. Hope Gambia are punished for this but I doubt they will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
