Can't believe we have to wait another 4 years Least we have the Euros to look forward to. Do Brazil care about the Copa America?

What player surprised you the most? Mine is probably Pickford mainly because the bar was so low for him lol Tripper. Never thought he was anything special but he was outstanding. Ali because I had heard he was great.

Rumour has it that we missed out on him over Phil Jones. I kid you not. Not true. Zidane phoned him and he said was only interested in Madrid after that. We’d bought Jones and Varane wanted first team guarantees. He then played less than 40 league games in his first 3 years. Varane has become a great player but I saw him make plenty of mistakes for Madrid. As all young defenders do. He was allowed time to make them because Zidane loves him. He’s also beaten the injury bug. Jones could have been a really top CB but his body failed him. Bailly might go that way unless his injury record improves too. Let’s not forget young Lindelof had a great tournament

What player surprised you the most? Mine is probably Pickford mainly because the bar was so low for him lol For me it was Neymar. He WAS the story of the WC and crashed as hard as a jumper from the 48th floor. Neymar was the sexy new comer to the WC party and was heavily merchandised for the occasion. But he in fact ruined whatever dignity and professionalism that he had, and showed what a fucking ass he really is....and the best part he started the #neymarchallenge. Some of the best gifs that keep giving...He can go off to China and fuck right off.

Barcelona didn’t miss a step without him in La Liga and he’s always been surrounded by greatness. Good player sure but not in the same bracket as Ronaldo and Messi

Good tournament for the academy. One winner, one 3rd (Adnan) and 2 lads who finished 4th.
Am I missing anyone else?
