Well, it probably was pretty big deal for Brazil this year but it's rather unusual. People say Messi never won anything major with Argentina and he did won Olympic gold. And honestly not sure why you still dismiss opinions of so many folks who are really knowledgeable about football (pink, kosher, AI)

Well, I don't think that Germany being greatest football nation is some insane opinion or anything. I don't agree but it's valid opinion to have. Sorry for insulting your knowledge but dismissing someone's knowledge based on singular opinion you disagree with is not cool.

There should be a rule that when a group g pops out, you just spread the wealth in terms of competition. Groups C and D definitely got shafted.

Almost funny that Pep vs Barca came out when so many had predicted it.

Segway to this footage from Roberto Carlos during the CL draw.... https://youtu.be/9E7iSYmLj9E

Maybe it is predictable after all.... :eek:

Fake, bandwagon type support.

I don't know about their own fans but all the clubs you mentioned are always slandering fans of other clubs as being "plastic"

I'm pretty sure Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man United, Bayern Munich and the other popular clubs around the world don't treat their foreign fans like that.

Spoilers: they often do and in many instances its not hard to see why. Let's leave aside the influx of fans who can barely speak English every time a player of their nationality signs for the club, but the ones that can actually communicate more than emojis and "[club name] 4lyf" can be annoying as fuck. Most of the entitled, whiny bullshit coming from Chelsea fans in recent years, for example, has come from foreign supporters who have no appreciation for club loyalty and expect unrealistic high profile signings every season. "Ivanovic should be euthanised and replaced by Dani Alves yarglebargleblah."

Is it a lull period or a lol period for the Dutch? I think I feel more at ease focusing on the minutiae of semantics rather than the actual issue at hand. janssen, wijnaldum, and klassen: sources of hope, but I don't know if the Dutch are going to qualify for wc18.

I totally understand what you mean, FS but that doesn't mean every single supporter that doesn't reside in the same city of the club should get slated for stating an opinion.

You could always do what I did and give up fandom.
