Dunno what messi is talking about, brazilian teams in libertadores always have to fight against sketchy refereeing.

And even our last brazil vs argentina game wr have this Otamendi moment against raphinha, who even drew blood and nothing happened with the referee.

Cotovelada criminosa de Otamendi em cima de Rafinha - Argentina 0 x 0 Brasil

Cotovelada criminosa de Otamendi em cima de Rafinha - Argentina 0 x 0 BrasilCotovelada criminosa de Otamendi em cima de Rafinha - Argentina 0 x 0 Brasil

youtu.be

Argentina and Uruguai are the antithesis of joga bonito, being known as the two murderball nations of south america

Everyone hates facing against Argie teams in international competitions because of the sketchy refereeing.

For instance, the 1973 Libertadores finals pitted Independiente and Colo Colo, and the referee literally told the latter's players he would not call for penalties or even bookings against Independiente. As a result, the Argentinian side felt emboldened to go all-in for murderball, and they won after a tie-breaking game (back when there was no extra time or penalty shootouts to decide tied games, so they booked a third match in neutral ground)

I also remember a 1996 semi-final between River Plate and Universidad de Chile. The latter had a perfectly legal goal invalidated, and it would prove crucial in La U's defeat in the second match in Buenos Aires.

This is one of many reasons you'll never catch me rooting for Argentina for anything that has to do with footy. Filthy-ass cheaters and proud of it, the lot of them.

You do realize this drama is older than most of the players on the national team right? Though I do agree some matches with local clubs are sketchy at best, I don't think these should be put together with the country as a whole. Most good players leave for europe at around 1 or 2 years of playing for a national team and what's left is frustrated, old or imported players which are really not the best the country can offer.

There is still butthurt against Dibu Martinez over the Mbappe baby doll from the French and FIFA is looking into Salt Bae.

Mbappe returned to training early to begin his punished Mbappe phase at PSG.

And FIFA for some reason is keeping Brazil at the number 1 spot in the rankings even though the Argies and the French are both clearly better than Brazil and both can buck break Brazil.

Ah that's cause Argies bought the WC you see.

So what's up with all the Ls Liverpool is collecting lately? Last I watched they were contesting the PL

 

[DSP's Tax Lawyer]

Three more sleeps until the EPL is back. There’s something masochistic about watching a league that moralfags all over the place and talks down to you like a child, but the games are fun to watch.

Its the same thing with FIFA. They can be the worst people on the planet but fuck me their product is entertaining

So what's up with all the Ls Liverpool is collecting lately? Last I watched they were contesting the PL

Did you... did you not watch the first part of the season?

A disappointing final to the CL and man city snatching the PL kept me away

How does FIFA calculate their rankings or do they just go off gut feeling? Because how the fuck was Belgium number 1 for a while after only winning a couple of UEFA League games?

They have been poor to start the season and are trying to catch up in the race for 4th place

Brazil are number 1 right now despite the fact that Argentina beat them in the Copa America final and Croatia knocked them out in the quarter finals. Brazil also lost in the quarter finals in 2018 so I am confused on how they are still number 1. Belgium are 4th for some unknown reason. England as 5th might be ok tbh but Netherlands over Croatia is dumb. They even had the dutch leap frog croatia. Italy are somehow in there and Morocco are below both Spain and Portugal. Colombia didn't move from 17th despite not making the tournament. Denmark are still higher than Senegal (who won the African cup of nations and made the round of 16) and Japan despite the fact that Denmark finished last in their group. South Korea got blown out against Brazil but they shouldn't be 25th. Why Wales are above Serbia is beyond me since Wales were terrible. Also Ecuador being 41st despite taking the african champions to the death to advance is bullshit. So in conclusion, the rankings are bullshit and its up to us kiwibros to start ranking teams

Now-former Brazil head coach Tite got mugged on a beach in Rio.
The funny part? The criminal insulted him over the NT's defeat in the World Cup while he stole his stuff.

I went back in this thread to see any takes from 2014, and so far not takes at all on the World Cup of any kind.

I remember in 2014, /sp/ mocked the Argies for claiming to be black.

Now in 2022, /sp/ has declared the Argies to be based Aryan Chads making Hitler proud.

I don't know if I discussed it before but I am disappointed not to see any team go for the full 9 points. Notice all the teams that fucked up in the knockout stages were ones that rested that players rather than go for 9 points, excluding Argentina since they lost their first game.

Its the World Cup, it's not a long ass 38 game haul season. People want to see the best of the best play and yet "load management" faggotry has crept into the mindset of teams that will only play a maximum of 7 games if they go all the way to the final.

And France was one of them that rested, and then we saw how they struggled to some degree against the Bongs and Nafris.

Ever since the Saudis defeated the Argies, the Argies went into siege mentality of treating every game seriously and went on to dominate almost every game.

Also this will probably be Ronaldo's last assist in a World Cup game. Pathetic cuck hid from the ball rather than confront and own the ball. I can see why some of his teammates probably believed that he was done after that, and fine without him for the Swiss game.

Messi has defeated Ronaldo for the GOAT.

Hmmmmm, looks like Hungolia is ran by 4channers. This is the deputy president of Fidesz who said almost the exact same thing, minus the Kanye's best friend part.
According to some annoying but at the same time enjoyable Hungolian leftist that I follow the text in Hungol translates to this: "A white, Christian nation representing European values became world champion. Go Argentina!"

CBF pensa em Zidane para comandar a seleção brasileira, diz jornal

Segundo jornal francês, ele seria bem recebido mesmo tendo sido o carrasco do Brasil nas Copas de 1998 e 2006.

CBF is strongly considering Zinedine motherfucking Zidane as our next head coach.

Imagine that, the real-life footy equivalent of Apollo Creed training Rocky Balboa to take on Clubber Lang.

FIFA rationale is that since Brazil played stronger teams overall, that is why they are on top of the Argies by 2 points in their own rankings table.

Brazil hold on, Morocco on the up and up

The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ has just crowned a new champion in Argentina, but that has not stopped Brazil staying out front in the last FIFA/Cola-Cola World Ranking of 2022.

www.fifa.com

Argentina played the Dutch and France and Croatia, defeating them all.

Brazil lost to some African team and got cucked by Croatia, rest of the team beaten were shitters.

Its pure bull and I wonder if FIFA is setting up Brazil to do a repeat of 1994 in the gayest way possible.

As France under Mbappe will probably buck break them lot hard.

I’d love to see Newcastle win the league. Imagine the seething from big club supporters

 

[MrJokerRager]

I am tired of hearing stuff like "the next Messi" or "the next Ronaldo" when there will be none.
The best players don't follow someone else's name but make their own unique name big like Mbappe will do.
I remember when Messi first showed up in some Champion's League game around 2006 and though he would be another butt buddy for Ronaldinho.
While around the same time, Ronaldo was probably going to replace Beckham's role at Manchester United by being some young sex symbol heart throb who could hit long hard volleys once in a while and run fast, while Chelsea was dominating the league.
Well both players went above and beyond in defying expectations.

Also Twain on /sp/ is still coping.

After watching the video below, Lautero Martinez is one lucky bobo whose main contribution was missing another opportunity to score, only for Messi to hit the rebound.

Well I started playing FIFA again, in this case the FIFA 2010 World Cup game since I given up on buying new FIFAs just for the grift known as FUT.
The old FIFAs offered a lot of customization like FIFA 98 let players modify the team kit colors and all around more fun in my view.
Though I was looking at getting FIFA 23 since its the last one in the series, as EA and FIFA didn't renew the license.
It has pretty bad reviews on Steam.
Here is how some soccer players spent their Christmas with Messi hitting the jackpot in life and probably be some alternative version of Maradona that decided to embrace Jesus and family over hookers and blow.

Here is how /sp/ spent their Christmas and the mods at /sp/ were playing "What I want for Christmas" song as well on the main catalog page and still are as of right now.

Salt Bae dindu nuffin wrong as well and fuck the butthurt euros and bongs mad at him.


And some additional Messi memes.

I’d love to see Newcastle win the league. Imagine the seething from big club supporters

Newcastle were a big club before the era of Arab Oil Money and Russian Oligarch money and American Globohomo money.
Though how did they fuck up to win the title twice in the 1990s is tragic given that Shearer won the title with Blackburn a few years earlier.
Though on a side note, I guess there was more competitive or parity looking at how 80 points was enough to win a season and that was rare to hit unless it was like a 42 game season.

As far as World Cup jerseys go.

I have to say that France had the best World Cup Jersey in my view.

A clean simple blue look with gold lettering.

It reminded me of the 2006 Arsenal Jersey in all maroon and gold lettering coincidently.

Nike has a way of making one color jerseys look great.

I have to say that teams with good looking jerseys usually do make it far.
