    Correa is a beast in FIFA. Bought him cheap and developed him to a top striker along with Embolo.

    Geronimo Rulli was really good for my Real Sociedad save.

    Were you pretending to be David Moyes? He was treated unfaily at Sociedad just as he was at United.

    Moyes signed Fellaini. He wasn't treated harshly enough at United imo.

    That's not a worse crime than signing Angel di Maria and playing a style that doesn't utilize his talents at all.

    Arguable. One of those players has some semblance of talent. The other is Marouane Fellaini.

    The literal single German hope at striker David selke picked for the Olympic team a lot with goretzka, Meyer, gnabry, and Julian Brandt

    Led by the bender twins and Ginter. Leroy sane wasted at euro 2016

    Taking that Red Bull money has probably stunted his growth quite a bit. For whatever reason Joachim Low hated Kießling and Kießling during his prime would have been perfect for them. Only gave him 6 caps. And all of those were prior to 2010. Not even 25 league goals in 2012 got him a call up.

    I mean Brazil has never won the gold medal, it's pretty much the only soccer tournament they haven't won. They would cancel all other events except this one.

    Sweden v Colombia and Nigeria v Japan are in Manaus. Gotta give the advantage to the South Americans and Africans in those matches.
