That Haaland celebration was very cinematic, the way he stops and takes in the audience for a few seconds before punching the air looked very cool

I think it will be Wales/Ukraine/Greece

Hope it will be Finland/Iceland/Kazakhstan

Us having two players on this is a joke and shows why you can't trust these ratings fully. Guess it also shows how easy our group was though. tbf I do think Eriksen had a good qualifier, but Andersen had some bad games iirc

Reached 50 goals 4 years ago, is at 83 today. Really impressive

I swear I literally just checked the score randomly in the 92nd minute, saw that it was still 1-1. Of course the first thought is "just need a Bellingham winner" and one minute later I see that it's 2-1, and I'm like "surely it wasn't Bellingham" and of course it was fucking Bellingham

Maguire's long balls have actually been really good so far? One of the only positives for United

what is bro doing trying to block a throw-in like that lmao

[–] Averdian@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Clear pen for me, he has time to react to that ball and literally moves his arm towards its trajectory.

Actually insane how often United concedes right after they score, it's like clockwork at this point

I'm super biased here obviously, but I don't understand why Eriksen is not starting for United currently. I feel like in a majority of their games, the midfield is just not working and there's little control of games that they should dominate. Then Eriksen comes on in the 2nd half and it nearly always improves. I know he can't play 90 minutes in the Prem, but why not give him 60 instead of 30-45 minutes?

Ever since I was a kid I have loved following the smallest teams in Europe like San Marino and Liechtenstein, hoping they would get results and loving the fun of seeing a bunch of low-level players, often amateurs, get the chance vs world class players. When San Marino not only scored, but straight up equalised, I literally told my friends that I was watching the game with that “you have no idea how much I’m loving this right now, just wish it didn’t happen against us!” But then we made it 2-1 and it became obvious that something was wrong, first with the Sanmarinese players chasing Højlund immediately after the goal, and then with Kjær, who is fluent in Italian, having a lot of talks with both the Sanmarinese captain and the referee. We now know that that was because their players were openly talking about injuring Højlund, which is just despicable. Leaves such a bitter taste in my mouth that this was the reaction from the San Marino team to nearly missing out on their biggest result ever. I want to love it, even if it was against my country tbh, but the surprisingly disgusting behaviour from several of their players makes it hard, sadly. For the record, yes, it is also childish of Højlund to shush (or whatever he did) vs a minnow that we should be destroying 6-0. But that still doesn’t make any of the career-ending behaviour okay at all. That knee in the back could’ve destroyed Højlund, like with Neymar. And he already has had back problems.
