Other football - 2017/18 edition.

[El Rojo]

Penalties now. Both sides hoping that they'll win. The goalkeepers will be hoping that they might make a decisive save.

[suzy]

Terrible decision! Only had the last 15 mins on, not very exciting! Please please let gay boy be crying after the pens!

[Jairzinho]

For fuck sake. Got money on Chile in et.

[suzy]

What is the Confederation Cup anyway?? Don't understand who gets to play in it!

[Duff Man]

Shitesma.

[Hand Shandy]

The champions of all the federations, plus the World Cup winners and hosts of the next World Cup I think?

[El Rojo]

I reckon the fact that no amount of head shaving ever fully hides his bald patch bothers Quaresma much more than anything that happens on the football field.

[suzy]

Haha Portugal were rubbish at pens! Yet again gay boy saves himself for the last one to grab the glory and doesn't get to take it!!!

[John101]

Where was Ronaldo when they needed to score that pen?

 

He was managing the team from the sidelines in the Euros and leading the speeches in the dressing room.

Aah thanks

[Jairzinho]

You don't beat Chile on penalties.

 

About to win three tournaments in a row.

People keep going on about how they must be knackered because of not having a summer off in ages (which may be detrimental to their careers over the long term), but what all these games and success are doing is molding them into almost a club side as they must have spent far more time together than your average international outfit by now.

Forget Keita, just sign Goretzka please Klopp. Thanks.

Where's Can? I thought he started all but the first game in this for Germany?

[aRdja]

Unbelievable goal from Mexico.... Wowwweee

[aRdja]

Can with an assist for Germany's 4th.

[KevieG]

Basically, buy up as many of these German kids as we can.

[jimmycase]

This confederations cup is a shite idea, its just another fuck about by blatter to 'promote' international football. Line fifa's pockets more like.

 

Can's still playing football and will be into the first full week of July. Our squad starts to report back after next week isnt it? Sure, he'll be returning after a break but he'll be behind the rest of the squad.

[TheHowieLama]

He will be a bit behind in what way? Match fitness will not be one.

[Curly]

No. He played against us when he played for Feyenoord. Think he tried injuring Steven Gerrard who grabbed the little snidey twat.

I think he actually chinned him.

 

I miss Stevie.

[an tha]

He will be a bit behind in what way? Match fitness will not be one.

Can played just 39 matches for us last season (only 30 started) - a pretty light schedule.

 

He can have 2 solid weeks off maybe a little longer miss Tranmere and Wigan and go out to that thing in Asia starting 19th and still have a good 3 week long pre season coming off a pretty decent base fitness level from playing.

 

I see no problem at all.

 

Sanchez played 51 games for arsenal last season - he'll probably be feeling it a bit more now.

[cloggypop]

This is correct. I was there. Went straight through Stevie. Was more sheer youthful enthusiasm than snide to be fair. He looked excellent that day.

I'm hearing that Morata from Real Madrid to Mancs is done.
