Naaah when will this diving cunt stop

 

[Tamirk]

Good chance for insinge..
Nvm...

yeh, but in some weird way, i ddont see any of those clubs as being comparable to West ham, or Leeds, or Aston Villa, for example. Even Everton. Somehow England's gotten quite good at driving through young talent *across the league*. I mean when was the lst time you'd expect a midfielder from a club that *just* got promoted to be starting for England? And actually look good, too?
I think my point is, somehow, after years of failure, England has gotten good at rdiving a lot of talent across the league, whereas (personally) in Italy it still feels like if you're any good, you're getting snapped up by Juve/Inter/Milan/the big clubs. I appreciate there are some players like Berardi, for example, in the wider squad - and Fiorentina and Torino.

Dunno. Maybe I'm just clutching at straws. But for me, right now, England has an embarrasment of riches in talent.

Also, they have money and all of those players play imo in the best league in the world, which will soon be the equivalent of a nba league if it continues growing at this rate. Playing in that kind of environment is not comparable to playing for sassuolo or lazio in seria a.

The fuck is going on with Pickford’s haircut? What decade is he in?

True, but the normal argument would be that match time matters the most - that being said, even if it wasnt that well paid, its not like english plaayers hve a good history of going abroad.

Or do you mean more from an infrastructure perspective?

I'm just looking at, tbh, England having a real lck of talent in recent decades. Even the 'golden generations' were a few good players in the starting XI, whereas for once it feels like england could put out two, maybe even three decent XIs

 

[nelsonrivas2011]

Berardi and Cristante coming in.

 

[Nerazzurri's Hoe.]

Bruh

 

[Glass box]

Lol Insigne-surely goes out soon?

 

[IM21]

Insigne is great at being shit.

 

[Tamirk]

Christante for barella... nice mancini..nice...

 

[J..]

I will not be surprised if he pulls an Adam Johnson.

 

[Nerazzurri's Hoe.]

hmmmm

 

[IM21]

subbing Barella for Bryan fucking Cristante... you deserve to lose.

 

[nelsonrivas2011]

Barella out for Cristiane
Immobile out for Berardi

 

[.h.]

barella has done nothing so far, to be honest. And he wasnt great in the semis either. I'm not that surprised.

 

[Tamirk]

For this sub alone, mancini deserve to lose..

 

[thatdude]

Cristante on purely for physicality. Rice was dominating Barella

 

[Nerazzurri's Hoe.]

Chiesa deserves better

 

[Strale]

Barella would have played better with Berardi than Chiesa, bad sub, hope I’m wrong
