Vinnie is way too obsessed with politics, I wonder if that somehow correlates with the fact that he is also obsessed with football? It seems that if he takes on something, he sees it through to the end. Against this background, I want to ask: do you think there will be a scandal if the Balloon D'or for last season is given not to Vinnie, but, for example, to the white Haaland. Quite a piquant situation.

Benz was happy and supported Modric when he won the Ballon D'or. Halaand is not a threat, it's between Vini, Rodri and Bellingham but I'm sure Vini would burn down the dressing room if it awarded to Bellingham. A very cool guy when he arrived around 3 years ago, can't say the same about him anymore.

Ancelloti please retire now...... Why?

Bellingham posted a picture of Himself, Vini and Mbappe without Rodrygo on his Instagram story, few hours later Rodrygo posted a picture of Himself, Mbappe and Vini ( No Bellingham). They're fighting already. Hahaha I will be watching every Madrid game this season....

This is real? Incredible, is the most dificult part of all the super teams, the management of the ego between the stars.

About Vinicius i support what you said above, he is a deplorable person who use a just cause to exploit it in his favour. I dont really trust anything coming from him in that line.

I gave Haaland as a theoretical example. If we are talking about practical chances, then now we are talking only about Vinny vs Rodri. Bellingham is rated worse than 1 in 20 (which makes sense if you look at his performance last season, where he played worse and worse towards the end). This award could become a real problem for Real only after this season, but here Haaland looks like he will step in, his statistics are too good.

It's all over the media; how did you miss it? Rodrygo has been acting weird lately, so I'm not shocked he's doing it again. He made some strange posts on his page after missing out on the Ballon D'Or nomination. Since Mbappe arrived, everyone has been acting oddly; everyone wants to be in the spotlight by doing ridiculous things to gain attention.

Ancelloti has handled a more bigger squad than this, he's the man for the job

Thought I was the only one in this, Vini deserves it but at the end, the organizers would want to protect the image and integrity of the award- Vini at the moment is talking way too much and it might cost him the award you know...

I think it's a natural thing for Rodrygo to do because he was very disappointed after not being included in the Ballon D'or domination so he vented his disappointment on social media. Imagine if one of the players who has contributed greatly to bringing the team to win a prestigious trophy but in the end his name is not on the domination list. I prefer Rodrygo for the domination list than Palmer who does not have a satisfactory history that he did last season.

Vini and Haaland might compete fiercely in the domination of the Ballon D'Or, but I believe Haaland can win it, who knows.

Everton fans doesnt agree with this post 


Rodrygo dont make idiots statements..... you maybe can be in the Ballon d Or nomination but you already know you are not gonna win it and also doesnt deserve to win it so why make so much drama about this, nobody is gonna remember this.

They are least squad he has ever managed? No? Was there a fight in the dressing room?. Don't think so .

We all like Rodrygo but we shouldn't back him up when he make stupid decisions, I don't watch much of Laliga but I sure follow up every online activities.

[slaman29]

His criticism is against Spain supporters and not directed to any specific club.

Both Real Madrid and Barcelona fans are on the same page on this one- Defending Spain first.   

Absolutely spot on. Spain first. Like it should be.

Man, this would be the most ridiculous 'scandal' to happen if it happens. There is no scandal, except that people with the most friends win this award. I mean, I love Messi but he shouldn't have won at least 2 of the awards, but we all know its a popularity contest, so if you want to complain, there is internet cause nobody else who really loves football purity gives a shit.

So yes if Vini doesn't win, then he must find more friends to vote for him As long as you rely on players and journalists to vote, you better be damn sure you are not an asshole cause nobody votes assholes.

What, Everton had superstars? lol Sorry no offence but Real cannot be compared to Everton. Galactico vs Cheapotico

Only 2 managers in my mind can handle superstar egotripper filled squad without burning. Ancelloti and Zidane.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Hahaha yes guys obviusly Everton doesnt have superstars, i was refering to the fact that for sure every Everton fan when Ancelotti takes charge was thinking about BIG things coming and the reality was truly disappointment, so for them Ancelotti is not that good is a bitter flavor.

Lol Everton were practically sitting at the top of the league after 10 games, giving Everton fans a taste of what it's like to be at the top, with Carvert Lewin as the league's top scorer and the squad playing like a league contender, but the dream did not last long. Everton fans should be grateful that he came to them in the first place.

I know this award is bullshit, my point is that Vinnie might bring the racism issue here (he is obsessed with it). I am not saying it should be done or that it is a real problem, just based on how Vinnie acts I fully expect it and I think it is funny. In today's reality, everyone is afraid of being politically incorrect and everyone is afraid of accusations, probably the organizers are praying that Vinnie will win and finally shut up

The international break is finally over and we will have some proper games to watch this weekend. This one was even harder than usual for me, both boring and very expensive.

Don't forget to send your picks for the pool, I can see a lot of people didn't submit so far.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Yeah finally we took out from this nightmare called "international break".

I just feel like a ton of time has passed since the alst games of normal clubs. But well we are back, now make our picks and trust in them.

Girona - Barcelona is gonna be very interesting to see more after the gmae they play in the last season.

[slaman29]

My dream start can start tonight, if Sociedad can somehow win, they will give us the chance to open 7 points at the top. Not that I'm looking down on Girona at all, but they are not the same Girona of last year.

Actually almost no team is, we only look different because of returning players, Real looks SO different just with 1 new guy in the team who matters.

Hoping Vini lose his head

We haven't seen Real yet because of injuries, it's a collection of players for now.
Besides Sociedad there are also Atletico and Villarreal, Atletico should definitely not lose points in the game with Valencia. As for the games of Barcelona and Real, they are dangerous enough to make a money bet in my opinion.

I don't know how to look at Atletico this season, remember in this pool we used to call Sevilla and Valencia the shitbed teams, I guess they are always going to be that way for a few more seasons, I think Atletico should be added to this list as well.

But Sociedad are in danger of it if they don't start scoring goals. But it doesn't help they sold their main goal machines

Well... I think it's a huge exaggeration to put Atletico in that category. Firstly, Atletico have been bad for two seasons, but now they seem to have strengthened their squad and at least they shouldn't get worse. Secondly, when we say that Atletico are a shitty team, we have in mind, for comparison, Atletico from the time when they were fighting (and even winning) for the La Liga title. Atletico are not in that condition now, but they are not in a position to leave the category of "right after Real and Barcelona".
Sevilla is a drowned club, everything is bad there and it is not temporary. Atletico is doing well, plus they have a trump card for the worst case - a change of coach (although it is already hard to believe that this will happen, since Simeone will coach them until retirement, it seems).

I know, I know, its bad of me to throw Atletico under the bus, but that doesn't stop me from putting a team into shit list (you can still end up Champions League spot but if you keep dropping points, its a shit lister for me

I recall Sevilla and Valencia even are teams that can play well, the thing is, its okay to lose games, but there are games a good team should not lose points 50/50 of the times, which was becoming the case for these guys.

2 penalties won Real their game, now for Barca to keep the gap.

Olmo was one of the most important key transfers that Barcelona could ever make. I like to watch him playing as you never actually know what his next move will be, you only know that it is going to be genius. He is an awesome defender and he is an awesome striker at the same time. A true allrounder with all the qualities a coach can wish for. No need to talk about Yamal, he is going to be one of the best in the world and if he can retain this level of efficiency, damn how valuable is he going to be for Barcelona?

[Trofo]

WTF is happening with La Liga, I see this GW has some more games duting the week. One each day.

I guess that is something new for clubs not playing Europe?
Amd why are those games part of this GW and not next?
