    It's interesting, the Bundesliga development since the early 2000s has seen them produce a s--- ton of talent (A world cup winning generation mind you) but my thing was they never held on to that talent. Some clubs would win the league and then see them lose their stars elsewhere (Wolfsburg losing Edin Dzeko, Sahin & Kagawa leaving Dortmund)

    Look at Bayern now, they are reaping what they sow--getting players for cheap from their closest competitors and are stuck with an aging squad full of egos and boneheads. It also illustrates just how amazing Neuer is, dude saves 2-3 goals per game. They don't wanna spend for the elite talent and they got spit in the face yesterday by it.

    Some great champions league games in general yesterday, Chelsea-Atleti was a barnburner and I was impressed at Chelsea's organized display. f---ing Kante & Bakayoko in the middle is nuts, they cover so much space and make some great low-percentage plays work.

    Chelsea last night was our best european display i've seen for years

    Took them head on and absolutely dominated one of the best defensive units in the world.

    They should have started Savic in defense and Gabi in the mid . Although i guess the original plan was to play for a win.

    Unlike Spain where the vast majority of top spanish talents play in spain. Only the ones who can't get starts at barca or Madrid leave.

    If anyone cares about young talents I present you the next portuguese star, Bruno Xadas 19 years old.


    Incredible technique, pace, drible, passing and shoots.
    Yesterday goal


    Another goal this season


    A Messi type goal in under 20 world cup this summer


    A video from last season at Braga reserves


    We rejected 20 millions euros this season from Monaco and Lazio ( we sold 2 amazing wonder kids to Lazio for 26 millions, Jordão and Pedro Neto).

    One of my worst nightmares came true today, I can't believe the US is missing out on a crucial World Cup when our country's interest is at an all time high. I want to look at the bright side of this which hopefully means our soccer programs go through a serious revamp and grassroots teams get additional attention. I'm still trying to come to grips at what happened?

    It's conflicting on my part since I'm half Mexican and we're fa----s for not giving a f--- against Honduras, karma came back to us since Panama scored a dramatic winner. I never cried out of a disappointing result but this was the first time, football is pain & joy.

    Congrats to any of you guys that had a country qualifying, Leo was amazing today @Enigma

    I’m soooo happy. Argentina qualified & Messi looked like a man on a mission today. I haven’t seen him play with that type of determination in a while. He was scary good. Peru gets a chance to qualify with a playoff game vs New Zealand. Today was a good day. Btw you’re Mexican? Aren’t you Peruvian too?

    No sir born here but my folks are from Mexico, I remember @Nori is Peruvian I think?

    People need to stop doubting the two greatest footballers oat, they will deliver when the stakes are at The highest. Maybe sometime far away but for now we'll never see another Messi or Cristiano again.

    Old Timmy Cahill coming in the clutch for Australia!!! I dont care what other people might think but Timmy is the Aussie GOAT!

    We have to playoff with Honduras now to qualify, which I much prefer over the US.
