    The Official European Football (Soccer) Thread

    Absolutely buzzing boys. Just got to my hotel in Dortmund can't wait for the match this weekend. Then to England for two huge games against West Ham in the FA Cup and Pool in Europa league action. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight. Definitely crossing two HUGE items off my bucket list in the next two weeks.

    Arsenal gonna Arsenal. Great game by Rashford, Mata, Memphis, Herrera, Varela. Even Adnan had a good game in the last 10 minutes. The replacement for Rojo, can't pronounce or type his name, had one error but otherwise was solid defensively. Can't wait to have Martial back in this counter attacking style of play. MOTM for me goes to Rashford for the brace in his premier league debut.

     

    Moment of of the Game goes to LVG. Gets up, goes to the technical area for the first time ever and acts out a dive. Bloody brilliant.

    For a team with such a huge, seemingly infinite, budget, Man Utd are a complete embarrassment.

    I can only dream of what Celtic could do with the money that they can afford to spend on a single player.

    This is what happens when you have owners and a chairman more interested in getting Manchester United brand noodles than the actual running of the football side of the club

    So I was thinking about the prices the Chinese teams were paying for mostly average players and how at the top level of European football money is thrown around like crazy. Also with Wenger saying recently that he thinks a £100M transfer is around the corner who do you guys think the first £100M player will be? Ronaldo to PSG? Neymar to anywhere?

    IMO with Real Madrids impending transfer ban coming up and this might be their last transfer summer for a couple seasons I could see it being either Hazard or Pogba maybe.

    Hart is top10 if not top5 gk in the world. I don't follow England much internationally but in EPL he is world class. Butland been brilliant all year as well. They are above average in net imo. Defense wise ya I would even slightly below average. 

    Hart is maybe a top 10 GK but definitely not a top 5

    They are good up front and on the wings. Average in net and on D. They lack a really good CM. every good contending team has one (Verrati, iniesta, kroos, pogba)

    They're about average everywhere, up front Rooney is past his best before date for top level football, Vardy hasn't done anything at international level Carroll/Austin are basically there to fill the body count, up front the only hope I have is Kane. Same goes for midfield hopefully Alli can continue on his good form into the Euros. I would agree that the wingers are England's best position in terms of talent. 

    But  I'm hoping for a Germany v France final.
