The miami keeper is playing a blinder 2bf

Holy shit they have a body cam on the ref

I'm going to watch some of it but more just to have a look at some teams i would never likely get a chance to watch. Agree that the tournament exemplifies basically everything that is wrong with fifa but the opening game is a prime example. Al Ahly are one of the must successful African teams of all time but I've never watched them before. They are looking lively so far too, they should be ahead 2bh but they are defo not looking like they are here to make up the numbers. In fact I think quite a few of the big teams from the more ignored continents will be well up for this so we could see some interesting results.

And now it's 4 in 40 minutes. Portugal are excellent.

Portugal battering Poland in the U21 euros. 3-0 up inside half an hour.

Exactly

Club world cup would be under FIFA rules not Uefa. Pedantic points aside that's pretty scandalous. Hope they win at CAS

The Finnish keeper has caught the eye I have to say

Tidy finish 2bf, if you were being uber harsh you could maybe say the goalie could maybe do a little better given it's his near post.

I wouldn't mind seeing him given a run out at no 10 actually, he's got the technique for it and I think he would suit playing there in Thelin system.

The words of that could be changed to "mitovs on fire, tears are in Mcgregors eyes"

Thanks Jute, will defo stick that on

Fair point, I for got about that. It depends how Finland get on I suppose. Their group is Ukraine, Denmark and the Netherland and whilst I dunno how good these teams are it's certainly not out of the question Finland get out their group. Again though the not having to be back to pre season early for Europe plays into our hands here. You would think Jimmy will want give Topi an week extra off and he should be able to.

I doubt he will be back, if at at all, until he's early 30's but it's nice to know he considers us a future option. Not surprised though, the moment he started crying on the pitch when saying goodbye I turned to my pal and said he would be back someday.

Yeah I think Topi is going to be a standout next season too fwiw.

Whilst it's pleasing to get some in early given how many replacements we need there's no immediate rush for more. Gyamfi was first contacted about Aberdeen months ago according to his RTV interview so I think it's safe to assune the club will already have plenty of irons in the fire. The nature of the window does mean some targets may not become available until the close to the end of August, if at all. When does pre season start for us does anyone know?

On the face of it it looks like a 4222

Stealing that one....

P&J reporting we are not looking at Hale after all

Basically not a big enough name and an unispiring win ratio etc. I think it's got disaster written all over it 2bh, they are all ready to turn on him and he's not even given his first presser yet. He needs a miracle start to the campaign already

I really liked the voice notes from the day pod that here we go did.

Aye, hun media is in fucking meltdown

Still not confirmed yet but all I'm seeing online from huns is "no thanks" In fairness, it's a fucking farce. The new board have had months to identify a manager and with just a couple of weeks until their squad has to start pre season they are still pissing about. The gift that keeps on giving.

Hale would be good business imo, he's a good age and knows where the net is at league level. He also looks like he would fit into the system JT wants to play pretty well, from what I've seen he works hard and covers a good amount of ground whilst not giving off a headless chicken vibe. A main man no 9 is defo still needed though.

You think Knoester is Cloggy? Before I say anthing further can define by what you mean by that Manc as my definition of a cloggy CB would be more in zander diamond mould.....
