31 years old already, bit tricky. But probably has two or three more good years in him.

 

PSG need to offload a few players this summer because of FFP, so who knows?

 

Yeah, it's more of a 'would be nice' than one that I ever expect to actually happen. Although like you say, if PSG need to offload a few (and there's no way they're trying to wriggle out of the Mbappe deal now!), he could presumably be a casualty if the Neymar to Madrid deal never materialises. Not sure where he'd go though. Chelsea, maybe?

 Even with my white with a red cross tinted glasses I’m not sure if we could beat any of the teams playing today ...  

Spot on with that mate

[MC Prussian]

Uruguay playing without a proper left-back for the whole game. Laxalt is a winger by nature.

Even by FT standards this would be considered "early"

[TeePee]

Have to say, Uruguay's midfield is a lot better than I'd expected. I knew they were going to be good at the back, and with Suarez and Cavani up front they're going to be a handful, but I've been really impressed with how lively their midfielders have been.

Danny would have blocked that ...   

Danny would have, backed off and off and off untill he ended up 5 yards from his goal.

Best centre-back in the world at the moment? Certainly deserves to be in the conversation.
