We're beaten in every game!

Tbf, it's not really a traditional professional team because they can't build a team as the best players get promoted to the senior team throughout the season. It's just totally a feeder team. That's why they don't play particularly well as a team and it lacks commraderie. Even watching the games its not like following a team but more just seeing who is good enough for the senior team, much like you might do if watching a youth team in your local club i guess.

I'd say pick a team near a place in Italy you might regularly like to return to, or a tourist spot like Rome, Florence or Venice and then pick a Serie C/D team nearby and you can watch a game every time you go there.

I was actually going to choose Bonnyrigg Rose, they are in League Two in Scotland and technically my local team. But when I was looking for them at the weekend I noticed the lower leagues in Scotland were suspended from too. So I decided just focus on other things. But obviously looked for that Juve U23 score, lol. Maybe the U23's is where we should put Pogba.

A good round of Nations League games for Scotland & Wales this week. How irritating.

Sorry, which League were Engerland in again? :teasing:

Joking aside, Scotland are actually playing some pretty good football right now. They've ditched the 5 at the back (which we mostly only used to crow bar Tierney and Robertson into the same team....) and are managing to get the best out of Gilmour, McTominay and McGinn in midfield as a result.

Oh and it's very early in his career, but Ben Doak has a proper chance of becoming our x-factor in attack. He's got genuine pace, can dribble with both feet, isn't afraid of reputations (he gave Gvardiol a really hard time at Hampden) and is starting to really improve his decision making in the final third. :fastheadbanging:

They do seem to have a bit more bite to their attack now

As for Italia, I am still not sold on Spalletti Getting smacked 3 to 1 at home by France gives me pause even more

I'm loving the international break, anything that prevents Leicester City taking to the field at the moment is a good thing.

Team destroying. 😭
No more injuries please. 🙏🏻

I agree with Liam as well. A week off from Milan is just what the doctor ordered.

These breaks suck. Oh, and fire Spalletti right now before WC qualifying starts.

I think it's just because my work involves football and not too many people bother about the international football, so it can make life at very dull without domestic football. But I can see why some might like a break from it, lol.
