georginho_juventusygr Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Fabian Schär. Solid performances, bar one today when someone got past him. 24 years old, should play for Juve. Breel Embolo will also move to a bigger club. Who are your impressive players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptista_8 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 William Carvalho. I'd never seen him play before yesterday, thought he was outstanding. Calm, composed and strong, intelligent and incisive forward passes. Looked really impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 William Carvalho. I'd never seen him play before yesterday, thought he was outstanding. Calm, composed and strong, intelligent and incisive forward passes. Looked really impressive. He looked about a billion times better than he's looked all season. The fact he was up against a massively overrated toothless side helped. When he gets going and starts pinging passes around like this, he can be spectacular, I agree, but he can also be an extremely infuriating player. Both on and off the ball.

adhikapp Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 That Kleinheisler guy from Hungary actually impressed me in his two games. Never heard of him before but he didn't do bad at all. Was really impressed with both Rose and Walker. I mean I've seen them with Spurs a lot this season but I was wary how they will do for England. Woy doesn't seem to like Clyne at all but Walker lately has been great, and Rose has made me forget that they're missing Shaw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Real Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I disagree on Breel Embolo though. I do not doubt his talent but think he has been pretty underwhelming so far. Made a lot of bad choices against Albania and Romania, and I don't think he touched a ball or won one duel last night against (a very strong playing) Koscielny.

GunmaN1905 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Weiss from Slovakia could've had a great career, but instead he decided to go to Qatar and then Saudi Arabia at the age of 24. Still not too late for him, he's only 27. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOStriker Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Modric and Iniesta have been the two stand-out players for me. They're obvious names, but they've really been a step above so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikulec Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Couldn't agree more on Weiss. As for Poland, I think Krychowiak has been our best player so far by quite some distance, but as a defensive midfielder he will never be rated as high as some of the attacking stars. He's showing that he's ready to make a step up to one of the biggest clubs already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigus89 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Modric and Iniesta have been the two stand-out players for me. They're obvious names, but they've really been a step above so far. Agreed. He is very underrated in my opinion. Seems odd to say given that he is rated highly, but I don't think people appreciate how good he actually is.

Firehouse Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 He is mostly underrated in his own country because people here say that he doesn't score or assist enough.

Administrators Neil Brock Posted June 21, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 21, 2016 Think with Modric he tends to get overlooked when people talk about some of the best players in the world. Absolutely fantastic player. Remember the days when he was linked with Newcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Real Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 The strange thing about Modric is that when you see him next to all the other players he looks so small and sinewy. Even compared to me. You would barely assume he's a professional athlete. Yet when you see him play, turn away from his opponent or give one of his perfect 40 yard passes, there seems to be coming so much power and explosively from him. It's a delight to see.

Suggy33 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I quite liked Sydorchuk in that terrible Ukraine team.
