Joelinton is on the pitch now so maybe not

Actually Mr Linton has already been sent off :joy:

This game is hysterical. So much talent on the pitch yet everyone is far more interested in shithousery than playing

A cool finish by Chaos :heart_eyes:

Since when did Leeds Utd play in yellow and blue?

Can see where he’s coming from. 5 years with Argentina, 3 trophies and the biggest of them all. Still having a side with certain limitations that dictate their way of playing. Possibly very high media attention, etc. Might want a little break and/or try European club football soon.

Argentina doesn’t play until Copa America in June 2024. So the Federation has seven months. A very good window for reset.

The game was an absolutely appalling spectacle and everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves

At this point Brazil should be banned from hosting. The police are beating the fuck out of traveling fans at every single game, and it’s not even limited to football. There were a group of Colombian girls beaten at the Taylor Swift show in Rio.

Emi attempting to jump the police was classic.

Emmerson Royal and Jo Linton - no wonder Brazil are shite.

That is alot of football and time and weariness for some family members who don’t like football.:grimacing:

Also, two extra weeks of football, when do the players get a rest and when will they go for pre-season training? Or will European league reduce amount of games.

Imo, i cannot see it working. Its too long, too much football and too much exertion on the players

The only way I can possibly see it working would be for squads to be +30 in size which throws up it’s own problems as players being away from family for so long will become a problem for managers if they are being played, but you would need a massive squad to cope with the number of games, so it would not be entirely out of the question to see some teams fielding a fairly large number of U/21’s or similarly young players just to give other established players a rest

Yess, players being away from the families will be hard on both sides. They will also have to get there a week before the tournament to train in the national team. That is almost two months.
