The semi finals of this tournament is England switzerland Portugal Netherlands.

I just can't take it seriously compared to the euros etc

I feel the same.

Yet I do think any type of trophy will help the youngsters in the team to gain more confidence in themselves as winners and breed an overall better mentality.


Till the press shit on them next tournament lol
 
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has said he is in the market to buy a club in England.

De Laurentiis, who completed the purchase of lower league side Bari earlier this year, is frustrated by the situation surrounding Napoli's San Paolo stadium.

The stadium is owned by the city, and De Laurentiis wants to renovate it. He has said that, if he is not allowed to buy it, he will take the club away and build a new ground elsewhere.

He has threatened to move their Champions League fixtures to Bari and said the situation had led him to consider looking at a club overseas.

"I'm working on buying another club, probably in England," La Gazzetta dello Sport reported him as saying. "There is a project in progress."
 
@Blue_London I am watching a preview for our game against Spurs this weekend and they show how in big games a large amount of goals we concede come from Alonso getting caught out of position.

I know i have toned down my Alonso hate this season, but the flaws are still there. I know Sarri wont do this, but it would make sense to start Emerson in this game. Erisken likes to slip into the space that opens up whenever Trippier pulls out the left back. Emerson likes to go forward too, but he has the speed to recover to prevent Erisken from doing damage.

Also Kovacic has to start bcos he is the one with the defensive awareness (among him, Barkley and RLC) to cover up for Alonso.

Poor Azpi is happy he is not playing Centre back anymore. Last time we played Spurs, Alli made him his bitch.

They used the diagonal ball very well against conte

Alonso has exactly the same problem against arsenal he can't handle the pace of bellerin. And always gets caught

The midfield needs to be mobile lemela can't have the chance to run at the defence.

Morata or giroud?

I would pick giroud because he drops deep and allows hazard etc to run in behind

I am team Giroud for big games. Morata needs multiple chances to score which we won’t get in big games. At least Giroud facilitates too.

Hopefully Pedro over Willian. Spurs play a high line which Pedro can exploit.

'Euro's' is like the Champions League, 'League of Nations' is like the League Cup... Whoever wins, its like ehhh we got some silverware and it gives the squad some confidence...
 
I hope Kante secured the bag, one of the few players no one can hate... One of the most humblest players in the game, I wouldnt be surprised if they offered him 250k and he said, I only need 100k lol
 
According to Fox Sports Peru, people close to Genoa forward Giancula Lapadula have communicated with the Peruvian Football Federation so that Italian-Peruvian could be taken into account by Ricardo Gareca for the Peru National Team.

I got to read about this every few months lol.. We do need a successor to Paolo Guerrero though
