Day 1
How are you holding up, boys?
Contemplating suicide, though genocide is also a viable option. Without other nations there would be no international friendlies and stuff.
>>66313512
tomorrow will be Freiburg - KSC still
then eternal nothingness except for boring ass friendlies that everyone plays in first gear so they dont get injured
Expecting a loss vs Chile and a draw vs Bolivia
I know Chile sacked Sampaoli, but still
Good thread
Horrible.
I'm still shaking after the Palace hit the crossbar.
At least I might get to see Danny D finally play for England.
>>66316077
>Danny D
Can't wait to see England smash Germany desu

You just proved yourself to be a plastic
>>66316232
>implying I would ever watch a Manchester game unless it was against Leicester City.
>we're playing in Turkey
I don't understand how our FA can be this stupid. Cancel the fucking friendly and play Finland or something God damn it.
>>66316377
whats wrong with turkey, swedes love kebab
>>66316422
Multiple terrorist attacks recently?
>>66316466
tbf
Don't you have a big following in Turkey?
>>66316466
they're only targeting israelis m8 just a bit of light banter
Reminder that if you dislike international break you need to kill yourself asap you plastic scum
>>66316565
>liking friendlies
I agree though, people who don't like international football are fedoras
>>66316565
>>66316645
>Friendlies
>"international football"
Friendlies are the retarded kid that gets an award for just showing up in the class of football match types
>>66316565
they're literally friendlies
no one wants to get injured so literally no one plays to their best
it's a literal park kickabout
International tournaments/qualifiers are always very fun
People hate the international break for a reason
>>66316699
>Drinkwater
>Vardy
>it's a literal park kickabout
Best watch out mate.
>>66316793
>vardy will get a season-ending injury and lester will drop below t-ham and arselol in the last few matchday
Butland
Clyne Smalling Jagielka Rose
Drinkwater Dier
Vardy Alli Welbeck
Kane
any other lineup is delusional
>>66316890
Walker over Clyne imho
>>66316838
Your shit defence won't handle the Drinkwater and Vardy link up play mate/
>>66317119
>englanders caring that much about shitty friendlies
cute :3
>>66317215
9/11 of the team won't.
But two of them will.
what's the point of this thread
>>66317193
>>66317427
tell me how it feels to be bossed around in your own home
>>66317215
You must understand that football is loved by the working class mostly here. We don't care what the international game is for, we'll turn up and get absolutely pissed enjoying the game. It's our release.
Plus, we jump at the chance to fuck Germany.
>>66318724
looking forward to the 1:1
Doing pretty well thanks for asking. I enjoy supporting my NT. Also my local team has just started their pre-season and there are lots of free friendlies, many of the players are my friends from school.
:^)
>>66313415
It's snowing out. Comfy as hell.
>>66318724
Small club mentality on a national scale.
Go away, island monkeys, you're not Holland. You're not even Austria.
I can't wait to see my hopes of dutch football ever becoming great again disappear. Watching a bunch of overpaid eredivisie players and a literally blind manager
>>66321442
Which was better? Having your country divided into British, French, American and Russian sectors or being united into one big Shariah kebab sector?
>>66321497
Not getting butthurt because someone else's world doesn't revolve around us, I guess.
>>66321497
>>66316699
this
the excuse is that teams need to prepare for upcoming tournaments, but preparations are useless if players are focussed on their club season and don't try.
just fucking end the season 2 weeks early and then have all the friendlies you want
pisses me the fuck off
>>66313512
Impeccable logic, Hitler would be proud
>>66321527
Thanks for the compliment, but it's really only common sense.
Why are friendlies even allowed during the regular season?
>>66321901
so shit clubs can rest their players
>tfw Rafa gets two whole weeks to prepare for the next game because our squad is too shit to get international call ups
Glorious
>I'm unable to enjoy a tiny international friendlies break once in every few months.
Yeah, just fuck off already.
I feel sorry for your mums who have to keep your autistic asses entertained during off-season.
>>66323029
your league is irrelevant so you dont know how it feels like when there is no good footy going on
My country tells FIFA to go Fuck itself on the regular, so >we have 3 games on saturday
>>66313415
Do you want a world cup or euros to take place or not?
>>66323213
you dont need friendlies for that in the middle of the season. Just end the seasons a month earlier instead, so players can prepare themselves for the international tourneys without having to worry about breaking their legs before the CL finals. They can hold all the friendly test matches in that period that they want.
During that time they could play qualifiers too, which would help raising their quality.
>>66321415
Moi VLAP
>>66323302
That is impossible and ridiculous
>>66323353
why is it impossible?
Having 3 or 4 international breaks a season < Having a month with a proper matchday rhythm
>international football
yeah great haha
OHNE HOLLAND
FAHRN WIR ZUR
>>66323377
>Just end the seasons a month earlier instead
That's impossible given the number countries who don't follow your usual schedule (we're not the only ones)
There's also "who makes sure the league ends on time" question
>Having 3 or 4 international breaks a season < Having a month with a proper matchday rhythm
Mostly bullshit
>>66323437
Meme countries with their meme schedules can get the fuck in line with the rest of the world.
2 international breaks per season would be plenty. This break is literally a waste of time, national team coaches will learn nothing. Half of the players get out of it by feigning injury anyway.

Thoughts?

SAND IN MY MANGINA
>>66323610
Will there be fun police making sure no one is sneaking booze
>>66316108
What the fuck. Tell me this isn't real.
>>66323610
It'll be the pinnacle of corporate football shitfestery surrounded and bankrolled by the eternal arab wars.
>>66317215
stop pretending you dont care about a friendly just because you know youll be losing 4-1, screenshot this
>>66323687
The England-Germany football rivalry is considered to be solely an English phenomenon—in the run-up to any competition match between the two teams, many English newspapers will print articles detailing results of previous encounters, such as those in 1966 and 1990. Football fans in England often consider Germany to be their main sporting rivals and care more about this rivalry than those with other nations, such as Argentina or Scotland. Most German fans consider the Netherlands to be their traditional footballing rivals, and as such, usually the rivalry isn't taken quite as seriously there as it is in England.
>>66323661
>>66323687
>caring about Jamaica B Team Vs Turkey B Team
>>66323726
>>66323726
>tell me about my country
actually most english fans consider scotland to be their main rival
>>66323745
that's a bit unfair m8, germans are known for being quite tall
>>66323726
too long to read my friend! ill see you in a few days when youve lost the football game 4-1 :)
>>66323726
Only because you know you got btfo of the only final we ever met in
>>66323824
>got btfo
>ingurland had to bribe the refs harder than south korea 2002

Seeing that Chelsea tattoo makes me smile, do you think most chelsea fans do gay porn?
>>66313415
day 1
i'm starting to feel anxious
the august of not watching my team playing i killing me
i'm starting to lose my senses
>>66323841
>le bribe le refs meme
Terrible excuse
>>66324080
it's a fact tho
>MFW I dislike club football and look forward to international breaks.
>>66324098
they dont look so happy
>>66313415
>no CL
>no PL
>no Bundes
>no ncaa tourney games until thursday
c-can't make it....
>>66324097
[citiation needed]
Germany meanwhile have certainly bribed refs in at least 1 world cup final
why don't they just play all of the qualifiers the year before the tournament (and the friendlies in the months leading up to the tournament)? that way we have something to watch every summer and the suits can get their shekels
Some of you hues are alright
Don´t go near Recife on friday
>>66316890
>Jagielka
>Welbeck
The rest is tight though.
>>66317032
Yeah this, they've got a good partnership at Spurs.
>>66323610
"camps" make it sound worse than they are. they'll just be temporary structures kitted out nicely
pretty pragmatic considering they wont need all the hotels after the tournament so its not worth building so many
>>66324098
I don't mind them at all when the international games are meaningful, friendlies are pure fucking shit quality-wise and they don't mean a lot either. There is WC qualification, but the Asian one is still at early rounds so the games are crappy too and the South American one starts at horrible times.
The wintersports season has also just ended, and our domestic hockey league is shit until the cup finals, plus my two fav teams are out already. Just kill me.
>>66324097
No it isn't. Post evidence to back up your wild claims.
>>66324117
players from big clubs which you like to watch wouldn't have vacation
if that is bad you ask, see what is happening to Alexis this season
>>66323610
wait qatar will still happen?
>>66324146
but with no international breaks the season can be 6+ weeks shorter. plenty of time for vacations
>>66324156
yes. the final is confirmed for 18 december 2022
better get used to it la its not gonna change regardless of any changes at fifa
>>66324165
>tfw it fucks up 3 seasons
>>66324176
absolute nightmare
at least we get to test the winter break theory
>two game against mexico within the next week
Getting just 1 point would be huge in making sure Canada stays in competition against El Salvador and Honduras
>>66323563
No
No
No
No
Is Argentina-Chile the match of the break?
>>66324158
It would be 4 at most
>>66324158
You guys play 10 qualifying games + 2 possible playoffs
You can't just jam that into a month
>>66324719
qualifying period is always 2 seasons
you can easily do that
>>66324107
>he actually likes German Soccer
>>66324626
Uruguay Brazil will give more lulz than Chile Argentina. We have suspended/injured half of the team.
>friendlies with Ireland and Bosnia
>two players getting their first callups this soon before an international tournament
I just hope nobody gets injured.
>>66325311
You can't do that and play the tournament the qualification is for
>>66316565
i have a feeling only european purists (and pretenders from outside who only watch manu/real/barcelona/etc) dislike international break. this game would have gotten nowhere without its ability to constantly expose fans with international matches. seriously just think for a second where this sport would be without the world cup
>>66324129
Not if they are going full Bedouin, it's just a bunch of tents, admittedly big fairly nice tents but don't expect any kind of furniture
>tfw >our lads have to play against Albania and Turkey
I just hope nobody picks up an injury. We've got 11 decent players and if only one guy gets BTFO the consequences would be drastic.
>>66327569
I hope Alaba dies
and Fuchs
>>66327584
You sound salty, did those two screw your gf or something?
>>66328545
Austrians screwed my country. Twice
>>66325361
>implying Memetino won't find a way to fuck this up
