To my tactico friends, believe me when I say Twitter-Football is long gone; we have reached a stage where people wish a player's career were watered down.
I won't wish you bad, @juliuseke11, but I wish you in multiple folds, whatever you just wished another fellow human; your career will be a short and irrelevant one.
Lamine Yamal will have a short relevant career like Ansu Fati. The difference between him and Ansu Fati is that Ansu Fati was unlucky; during his time, Barcelona was still focusing on Messi with their solid PR. I'm really surprised that Barcelona fans know nothing about football. How can you look at this Lamine Yamal and say he's better than Olise just because he's 19 years old?
Olise's 30 minutes against Belgium yesterday felt like Mbappé's 2022 World Cup final, and we were expecting Yamal to recreate that, just for him to play 70 minutes against a finished Croatia, moving like Garnacho.
Is this who you want UEFA to give the Ballon d'Or to? If those voters are not
Mad, Lamine Yamal should not make the Ballon d'Or top 3. He's a good player; he should try next year. This season, he's kind of a flop in my opinion, to win the Ballon d'Or. His performance against Croatia is nonsense. This is the reason he's not in Spain's top 3 players list

Dear Elon Musk, can you pls make Twitter a better place once again? People are beginning to write shii... They are looking for the craziest way to be eligible for original content creation.
Football takes have reduced drastically; analysis is nowhere to be seen only unhealthy RAGE BAIT + BS every now and then.
Argentina is a footballing nation like Brazil, Spain, France and other well known countries with rich football history. You're retiring from national team, you didn't invite any of those footballing nations . You went to invite Benin, who has never played in the semifinals of the African Cup of nation let alone winning it. Why? Because you don't want to have another zero shot on target. You badly need to win your last game with a goal and assist to your record.
This has confirmed why we call Messi Eibarman.

You are the reason Kenyan and South African Twitter can easily think they can bash Nigerians.
Funny enough, it's always Real Madrid fans with low intellectual abilities will be the origin of this. As Africans, isn't it common knowledge that one doesn't need to be English to bag a doctorate certificate?
I have seen the low of the lows, but Real Madrid fans and some Chelsea and Manchester United fans are currently the (worst-low,) if that grammar is acceptable.
“Dr Messi “ that can’t speak English😂. just leave it at Goat please and stop this fooling. He isn’t intelligent outside football. I even thought it was a joke o

.@grok, by using his method of analysing the game, will Mbappe ever meet Yamal in H2H?
Yamal is better than Olise because he’s beaten Olise several times when they’ve met.
But if I say Ademola Lookman is better than Yamal because he knocked Yamal out of the Champions League AND Copa del Rey, you’ll insult me. 😭😭
So head-to-head only matters when it helps Yamal🤡

Me seeing Real Madrid fans glazing Olise anytime he performs is killing me 😪
I mean, don't they have a player to glaze at all? No one asked your president to demand OLISE and get Yan Diomande in return, nor made Vini a shadow of himself 😭
I have never seen a fanbase as confuse and these guys.

Félix only gets back in if Barça finally admit Olmo was never the long-term fix they sold.
Fichajes have Bayern at €80m and Mendes already knocking, but the real call is whether Flick and Deco are ready to move on from Olmo this soon. Free agents look nice on paper till you remember why Félix left in the first place.

After seeing the top 25 talents listed for the Golden Boy award, I don't see any player more capable of winning it than PAU CUBARSI.
He's winning this one easily with a huge milestone; trust me. It's a recognition long overdue 😌

Raphinha might not make this one, and Getafe are the last side you want guessing up top. Five days out and it's Bordalás again.
Elbows, second balls, no room to hide. That centre-forward spot has to be earned, not handed out because the graphic looks neat.

Dani Olmo can carry a spell. He can't carry the role.
▪︎ not a centre-forward by trade
▪︎ arrives late, presses, finds the pocket
▪︎ disappears once Getafe drop off and the box goes quiet
Twenty minutes when the game opens up, fair. A full start with Raphinha on the table is asking him to play a position he doesn't own.

Hamza Abdelkarim is the excitement. He isn't the answer on Saturday.
▪︎ 4 senior minutes
▪︎ 4 goals in preseason, top scorer in that window
▪︎ first Egypt goal this break, off the bench
The talent is obvious.
A tight away day, with the main man touch and go, is not the night you hand an 18-year-old his first start up top. Jesus starts. Hamza only comes on if the game has already broken.
So pick your starter for that box against Bordalás and stand on it: Jesus, Gordon, Olmo or Hamza.
No "anyone but Raphinha." Name him, and say what he does when the second ball drops.

Stop scrollin if you think one Clasico resets Vinicius.
Start of the season he’s been off it. Heavy touches in the box, losing duels one v one and nowhere near the same threat on the break. End product has dipped and the decision making looks rushed.
Madrid clearly reckon a big night against us can relaunch his career and flip the narrative. That only lands if the side carries him. Barca’s awareness plus the pressure that always hits them means one bad half kills it… unless we start Kounde out at the RB again.

Hi @grok, how many countries will Destiny Kosiso be eligible to play for once he's old enough for a call-up, and how many goals has he scored so far?
DESTINY KOSISO's HAT-TRICK for Barça U12 against Villarreal U12 yesterday in LaLigaFC Futures.
A proper no.9 in the making at La Masia! 🔥🇳🇬

Africans are the real problem for other Africans. First, calling her "Pernese" only exposes your low intellect as a grown man.
I actually appreciate how X is built, it limits this level of jealousy, and all I see in you is Cristiano Ronaldo influence eating you up.
Hypocrite
Jealousy
Insult
Berating
Lastly whatever your name is, @theberneese is higher, better and getting richer than you, she has already snatched your place in the food chain and you are never getting it back anytime soon.
😭😭 “ all African games “ bernesse is pulling Budesliga deals and going to camp nou and rubbing shoulders with Galatasaray owners. This one is here embarrassing himself over someone he can have as a daughter. She said Como didn’t give you any deal rest 😂.

Miguel Galán is spot on. The TAS does not sanction vibes or suspicions. It demands a named match and proof that meets comfortable satisfaction ⚖️
Every upheld case, from Pobeda to Debrecen and Metalist, had a concrete fixture and hard evidence. Years into the Negreira case and still no match identified, no referee shown to be influenced.
Without that, UEFA’s file falls short of the bar the court has always set. The club’s defence holds. 🔵🔴

Are we still comparing Saka and Lamine Yamal in 2026 or is it just clickbait? 🤔
Y'all remember when they told culers his rapid growth will affect his dribbling, only to break all timers. 223 completed dribbles last season, not even Olise, Vini, Mbappe or Doku was close. Even Saka was nowhere near it.
No winger in the EPL right now can lace his boots. 19 G/A this season alone at 19. Different gravy.🔵🔴
Bukayo Saka’s harder job was not winning. It was being the only attacker defenders planned for while the rest of the side was still being built.
Yamal scores in a system that creates the chance before he receives it. Saka spent three seasons creating the chance, drawing the foul and taking the penalty because nobody else would. One is the end product of a machine. The other was the machine.
Age will not settle this. Output under isolation will. 🔴⚪
