If they get Saudis buying the club, big money does talk.
Money certainly talks. 18 months ago Newcastle were relegation fodder, now look at them.! The scousers have short memories, it's not long since they were bumbling around with Roy hodgson.
When you say not long. He left nearly 12 years ago lol.

Liverpool still can't attract the massive names either, they're not in London, Paris, Madrid or Barcelona.

Just had to be him. Don't like him, but he is top class.

Mexico haven't looked like scoring all game.

It is in terms of attractiveness to the big names, think your Lewandovski, Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, etc. They're not playing in Manchester on a wet Tues night.

I would like to see Messi game stats on distance, touches etc as I reckon I covered more ground walking the dog earlier . Can’t take it away from the little man though as he scored just when needed with his one decisive touch….. Fernandez scores the better goal for number 2 imo

It's a funny old game. This one's started lively enough, followed by a biggy later. 2 - 1 Croatia 🏃and 2 - 1 Spain. 👍

Going behind early was exactly what the neutral watcher needed for Croatia as they had to step up the gears quicker
