Brazil 2014 was garbage, only more prestigious in name, i would take Croatia 1998 all the way over that horrendous Brazil team that got smacked 7-1 at home with some defensive amateur bloopers.
Germany was the best team of the tournament, but even Algeria caused them more trouble than that rubbish Brazil...that says it all.

That may well be true, but I wasn't talking about the size of the challenge. No matter how rubbish Brazil is at a given moment in time and how good Croatia, Brazil is still the more prestigious opponent. It's a question of reputation.
The third place match is prestigious and what he said is right but I can understand the likes of Germany/Brazil not being as fused or playing it like the SF/F.
It all depends on the country too be fair. I’m from Ireland and we don’t even make WC so if we finished 3rd the whole country be on a piss up for weeks.
It’s a huge achievement 3rd place in a WC but I guess for say Germany or say the current France team losing the SF would be painful and considering they are there to win it the mindset might go for that 3rd place match
Brazil in general was not that bad. Against Germany Thiago Silva and Neymar were missing, and the rest of the team had a complete mental breakdown due to it. That's what made the 7-1 possible.
Thierry Henry played in 9 finals but never scored in any of them.

Aaron Lennon's goal against ManUtd yesterday was his second goal for Burnley....he's only managed to scored 2 goals since the 2016/17 season.
Henry is a bottler posts in forums back then
Can’t believe he’s still in the league to be honest. Looked him up and he is only 34 but has been around forever! Been in the league more than half of his life!
Next year it will be 9 years since Man Utd last challenged for a league title.
He was Burnley's best player.
Not thread worthy and since it's at least weird, this will be the thread.
China have banned football players from getting new tattoos and have encourage them to remove existing tattoos.

Sort of funny.

I cant believe as an attaker he has scored so little, I mean thats 2 goals in 5 years...How does he keep getting new contracts? yesterday he was Burnley's best attacker but god damn those are the worse numbers I've remember seeing from a professional player.
Jon Moss passed a bleep test.
Sebastian Haller has scored more goals(11) in 7 Champions League matches than he did previously in 48 PL matches at West Ham.(10)
Van Dijk is gonna play his first World Cup ever being 31 years old.
Eric Cantona never played in a World Cup.

Man Utd have been cursed since they won their last league title in the PL era. 13th title
West Bromwich Albion did not lose a single game they played away to City, Liverpool or Chelsea last season. In fact, they came away with an aggregate score of 7-4.
They now have Steve Bruce as manager having sacked Valerien Ismael earlier in the season, and are a languishing mid table Championship club without a hope of promotion.

Salah just became the top scorer in our rivalry with Liverpool and all it took for him to do so was 5 goals in a single season.

Ings is older than Lingard by just 5 months
Jesse Lingard is a father
john moss deliberately ambles around the pitch, miles from the play, to ensure the ball does not get trapped in his gravitational field.
It just came to me, if ac Milan become the Italian champions then three generations of Maldini members will become Scudetto winners.
Super cool.
Super cool.
If a match is moved forwards it will take place 2 hours later because time is linear and we move around it rather than time moving towards us.
Just in america or in all countries?
I hope that Daniel will become great player like his father and grandfather. Tbh, Daniel needs to improve himself a lot. It’s impossible that he will reach his father level but at least I hope he will be at starter level( which right now, he isn’t).

If a match is moved fowards it will take place in the "correct" time for people playing/watching it. Time looks linear if we are fat enough to be really affected by gravity and forced to accept the speed of casuality, because its easier for nature to move into degradation than to repair itself, what creates an ilusion of linear time and arrow of time.
Yes but have you factored in Jon Moss into your calculations?
Yes, but i thought it was implicit on my scientific argument against the concept of flow-of-time that its not valid in cases where Liverpool is involved. Its well known in the Physics community that there are special laws of nature applied to Liverpool.
In 203 less minutes played Son Heung-min has scored 7 more Premier league goals than Harry Kane this season.
Marcelo is the most successful Real Madrid player of all time.

Jack Wilshere has won goal of the season twice in a row, the only player to do so (13/14, 14/15)
Wayne Rooney and Bergkamp have won it twice but not in a row

If I remember correctly, they changed how the goal of the season would be chosen after he won in 14/15. Arsenal fans were way to active on anything around voting and they'd hijack every poll
