Saliba doesn’t even make France’s B-team ffs

Lets hope Netherlands beat USA (sorry any US fans). The sooner Turner gets eliminated the better, dont want his profile to rise too much for him to think he is better than being Arsenal number 2.

If Partey leaves and Bennacer returns, maybe we can get our Klaus back.

That would be one hell of an after Partey

With Juve being in a pickle financially would you take Vlahovic?

Yes but would sell Eddie

The World Cup is basically this seasons League Cup - hurry up and get it out the way so we can see the conclusion of the Prem

Disagree. Think KO stages is where it gets really interesting now.

Can’t see England beating France in the quarters though.

Enjoy Clrnc , I might be going England Senegal that’s it.

How’s the accommodation been? Ship?

You should write a blog hahaha

This is a great WC by the way, other than Netherlands and Brazil matches all the other matches have qualifications at stake

Agreed. However, even Brazil game, Cameroon need a win.

Juve in crisis. Apparently they didn’t declare 216m in losses! Wtf! Almost as bad as 2005.

Time to raid them for Locatelli, Chiesa and Vhalovic (as a plan B for Jesus) this Jan. This is an opportunity for us that has come out of nowhere.

Our game v Man City has been re-arranged for Wed Feb 15th:

Good to see Man City have back to back games to Utd and Spurs a few weeks before that though.

Second round has been top class, barely got any work done today.

All the games I’ve missed this WC have been great (Portugal Ghana, the two today). I guarantee the game most ppl watch (Portugal Uruguay) will be 0-0/1-1.

Xhaka v Fred should be interesting before that though.

Apparently Benzema could be back for France post group stages. That would be absolutely massive for them and the tournament!

Can’t believe none of these teams have a proper number 9.

The Canada coach was an idiot for his comments pre - game about how they were going ‘fuck Croatia up’. You do not say that to Balkan countries. Fired the wrong set of players up

Canada’s best bet was going into the game with the Croats underestimating them or taking them lightly. Novice mistake by the Canadian coach.

Well played Messi, that was an iconic World Cup moment. Needed that big time for legacy debate.

Mbappe is by far and away the best player at the tournament...

Yep. Problem is all his rivals are 34 plus.

If France has Benzema I would put them joint favourites with Brazil.

How on earth did this team win the Asia Cup?

Money talks.

In the other game, Wales came to play, Iran came to fight. Played like absolute lions.

Iran USA will be very, very interesting.

Maradona, Lacazette and Mourinho die hard. Good trio

Nope. Only Maradona die hard. Laca was just a good servant for us, not even in my top 10 Arsenal players of all time. Jose is a cunt but top 5 manager of all time.
