Unnamed Trialist Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 3 minutes ago, TGAA_Star said: I love the game times Hey @TGAA_Star, did you see the speculation about Iñaki Williams from Bilbao possibly making a switch to play for Ghana? I don't know the details, he plays for the Basques because he's Basque, but I suppose the family has Ghanian roots. His little brother Nico might also be eligible. Iñaki supposedly denied this, but then reports keep coming out. Iñaki is a fast striker, maybe not a great finisher but could be an asset. Nico might be too young still to want to commit to anything but Spain. https://sportsbrief.com/football/ghana-black-stars/14518-spanish-born-striker-inaki-williams-hints-at-possible-switch-of-allegiance-to-ghana/ TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including Callum Hudson-Odoi (Chelsea), Tariq Lamprey (Brighton), Eddie Nketiah (Arsenal), in addition to Inaki Williams as you mentioned. So Ghana does have the potential to become a dark horse.

A.D.I.D.A.S. Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Morocco's Yassine Bounou kept Barça at bay in goal for Sevilla with some really good saves for 70 mins until a world class finish from Pedri. I like to think I have some pretty tempered expectations, but I'm thinking that last group stage match is going to be a real battle. Edited April 3, 2022 by A.D.I.D.A.S.

B_Leaf Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 We have Davies who is in many respects the perfect "best player" for us. He can morph to be special defensively and offensively, and he has the pace, power and engine to be a force against any opponent. Perhaps our next most important player is Eustaquio given the high level of the midfielders we face in group F. Modric and DeBruyne are two of the best in the world. This might be crazy, but I think it warrants discussion. Given our strength on the wings (Buchanon, Adekugbe, Laryea) would it make sense to try to pair Davies in the middle with Eustaquio?

PegCityCam Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Morocco's Hakimi with an absolutely horrible back pass to his CB that was picked off, resulting in a Terem Moffi goal for Lorient vs PSG. Clearly he's hot trash😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will still want a result against Morocco so we get Germany or Spain in the R16, avoiding Costa Rica who will no doubt top that group.

I think there's a pretty good chance Belgium goes 3 - 0 in the group - and the battle will be to see who's best of the rest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGAA_Star Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Canada if they finish 2nd in the group potentially in the Round of 16 you could face Spain or Germany and what a match up either match up would be provided Canada get out of the group stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
