Wales is also awesome.

Conveniently Kazakhstan has two world class players.

He has been ded for a long time.
CALCIO DI RIGORE
Didn't know Boateng practiced Ballet
Fuck, I actually yelled "PENALTY".
C'mon Italy.
Dat starfish
kill me
The Peruvian was right...
>Bonucci actually taking a pen
It was weird for a while but then I realized Italy has no one on the pitch who would finish it cooler than Leo
>Penalty taking 3
Nice
completely idiotic
why the fuck would boateng raise his hands? there were no policemen
>dragging the Germans to PK shootout
I pity them.
Based Bonucci. I can't stand when players stop in the middle of motion though. It tend to fail much more frequently than normal penalties.
>>69168387
>not measuring success in triangles and possession

Speaking of the fullback problem, how come Schmelzer failed so hard? He was one of the most gifted left-back of his generation.

Why is this?
>Slippy J
What can I do with Atilla? Hate CBs with low jumping, hate defensive fullbacks. Can't actually play enough to be moved to sweeper/DM.
I feel like he'll be my "best player" but he'll never get high average ratings and he'll always get beaten in the air by fat scottish garbagemen
>>69169807
>actually thinking that I do not appreciate the art form of triangles
Schmelzer had injury problems and never really satisfied Lolw when playing in the NT. We've had a bunch of talented fullbacks like Pander, Rausch or Durm
>>69169965
Mate I have the exact same problem.

And about Kazakhstan, they actually made a solid regen. Would buy him just for the sake of having him if he wasn't 30
>tfw drive to tribble came back after Italy's goal.
Lads, how much is it going to impact my reputation if I resign from being Senegal's manager after a couple of months. I haven't even played a match yet, but for some reason I don't like the job.
>>69170131
Yea piss-take desu. I've maxed out training and youth facilities, stacked on coaches but still the same YR.
>>69170308

Well, this tournament sure does have a lot of ETs
>We

>>69170411
>>69170520
Yeah, it's the opposite of comfy. They all have the same names, we aren't playing any important competition in years, it clutters my inbox and to top it off, they don't have a single good regen that I can look forward too.
So, will resigning affect my reputation or will it hinder my ability to get another NT job in the future?
>>69171231
Yes, you'll only be able to get hired by second division Northern Ireland sides if you do.
>>69171231
It will hinder your ability to be the manager of Senegal for the future.
my first macedonian ever
>>69170107
Poor guy, he would have been perfect as an attacking-minded fullback to this team. The lack of new-gen strikers are also interesting, while it's the opposite when it comes to talented attacking midfielders. Löw is still extremely lucky to have them though.
>>69171231
Newer FMs tend to be unreliable in that regard, in general, the reputation hit itself is minimal. However, there are players complaining about how rarely they get hired by FAs despite having top reputation and actively managing a top team.
As most of them has little or no NT experience, the problem doesn't seem to be linked to previous resignations. So even though inexplicable appointments were always part of FMs, you should be fine on the long run either way.

Honestly? Less and less, and I don't see why this tendency would turn next year. The difference you're going to notice is the major UI "update", plus that there's much more media shit and whining from the players. Nothing ground-breaking that'd really matter. Wait to see what SI has to offer in 17.

I think pelle's was worse desu
should've been subbed after his yellow

he did good in guessing them but a couple were saveable with a guess and a decent jump
My word zaza his penalty was shit
Was fun

feels good
>>69176153
>The difference you're going to notice is the major UI "update"
hopefully the 17 UI gets the Windows 10 treatment where the basic shit is restored
because 15/16 feel like Windows 8, garbage UI forced on us for no good reason.
the moment i saw zaza going like a fucking retard to the penalty i knew germany would win this

>Shitaly
>>69176712
You are such a typical Asian
>>69177230
Are you sure you won't?
>>69177144
Yeah, he still saved one. Sure, he was close in many of them but if others didn't choke things would be different.
It's funny how you could guess some misses here. The shitty run Zaza did, same for Pelle.
I feel bad for Italy tbH
>>69177397
It's about the same level as forgetting your own movie night, which i have never done
For what it's worth, Tekkers used to stutter his penalties all the time and he rarely ever missed.
>>69177589
Feel bad for Buffon. Too busy laughing at Zaza still.
>>69176969
It's a free board.
>>69177027
I won't mind with that scenario if that really happens.
>>69177349
Well if Indonesia actually qualify for EURO of course I will root for them.
Welp, I resigned after 2 matches. Lost one and won the other one, both were 3-1.
Also, top kek, I had never seen this.
>>69177589
Feeling bad for old man Buffon. It's probably his last international tournament.
>>69177696
you root for the underdog in this case, not the defending WC champs
>>69177678
>out in the quarters to mighty Wales
Sure did him good eh Phil.
>>69177689
I wonder why Conte thought it would be a good idea to sub in Zaza in the last possible second and let him take a penalty
who was that goalkeeper fairly recently that barely made any effort during the shootout?
>>69177230
I fail that hard every season.
>>69177884
Because it's all Buffon's fault anyway.
>>69177884
w-worked for van lel
should've subbed off Pelle after his yellow (not sure if it was then or after that but he seemed visibly shaken)
>>69177985

>>69178068
I mean, I could see this working if it was some PK taker specialist. Like Totti, Del Piero, Di Natale, whatever.
And yes Pelle should have been subbed off after that yellow and Zaza could get a better feeling of the pitch and everything. Instead he had no chance to

Sorry m8, but I distinctly remember him being not even close to saving a penalty. And how defeated he looked. Nothing like based Krul.
Also, Krul's only 28, I thought he was already 32 or older.

Definitely way too liberal. I read top wages are around $100k there (with the average below $40k), while some players are not even pro (so they work during the off-season).
>>69181126
>mfw state championships plus nordeste
>>69181396
For third division, they're mostly paying players but not enough that they aren't working part-time.
I see the problem he had though. If he was realistic and had promotion and relegation there wouldn't be any difference between any of the levels below MLS, since they're all semi-pro. This is just the trial run anyways before I go to Turkey.

Spain has a ~50% tax on those wages, so his net income is a little less than the half. If I recall it correctly I read €25M / year after taxes, so it must be around that. To put it in perspective, it's €3M more than Messi's current wage.
>>69183801
Totally different ball game, I think it's rather unfortunate to make comparisons. Right now, his $30M / y deal is unlikely anyway. He'll end up with a 1+1 contact, so in 17/18 it will be easier to maximize his options with the expected $110M cap.

The play-offs will consist of two "one-off" semi-finals (best-ranked team vs. fourth best-ranked team and second best-ranked team vs. third best-ranked team, played at home of higher-ranked teams) and one "one-off" final between the two semi-finals winners (venue drawn in advance). The four division winners will join the 20 teams which have already qualified for the Euro finals. This means at least one team from each Nations League division will qualify for the Euro finals.
