Fluminense (N) - Fri 22nd Dec, 18:00 | CWC Final | Pre-Match Thread

[Taifun Devilry]

Goalkeeper is 43 his eye sight will be going. filepe melo is 40 , Marcelo 35, Cano 35, keno 34, Ganso 34 all starters.

Probably can get away with that in the Brazilian league which will be a slower pace. Doubt they can get away with it friday.

It's indeed an old squad, but they have been doing well this season. Cano in particular is pretty dangerous, he was probably the best striker in South America this season (along with Suarez). Their goalkeeper is shaky, but he tends to perform well in big games such as this one. They also have a youngster called John Kennedy that despite being in the bench, always scores when he gets subbed in important matches. I hope City will be too much for them, even though you guys are missing your best players. I would be much more calm and confident if Haaland and De Bruyne were not missing, but it is what is. I hope City matches them in intensity because like I said, they are going with the mentality that this is the most important match in the history of their club.

Nice one, mate. However, I value it and want to win this competition. There's a reason Manchester City is involved, and that is all that matters.

I hope you're buying that City jersey pretty soon :)

I have some jerseys from European clubs, but City is still missing. This will be a nice opportunity, I hope City wrecks them.

The Bitter Bitter Cunts can’t even bring themselves to state we’re in the final

Think Alvarez will start this one, but not sure who drops out. Both Kovacic and Nunes played themselves into contention in the semi-final, so could be Grealish who makes way?

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Stones
Ake
Rodri
Kovacic
Nunes
Bernardo
Foden
Alvarez

It’s going to be a home match for Fluminense regards support they’ll certainly be well up for it as well but I’m sure all our players have been in worse situations

Here's hoping that your present European jerseys are not red.

Over here in Jeddah you can feel the importance of the game, locals shout "Manchester City" and put their thumbs up. We had a bit of local backing on Tuesday as well as the travelling Blues.
Looking forward to tomorrow night it's gonna be one to remember CITY CITY CITY...

 

[Big Swifty]

One to remember for the right reasons, I hope

Good luck this evening guys. Hope you win it. It won't be that easy though - Fluminense will be taking this very seriously and will play hard.

City 2-1

I don't have jerseys from English clubs. (I do have a Jersey from England national team though)

I have two from Barcelona (05-06 Ronaldinho and 09-10 Messi), two from Roma and one from Milan. I almost bought one from Liverpool in 2019 when they defeated Flamengo (another rival from my club) on CWC final but I couldn't find at the local store at the time. Here hoping that City will be first English club that I will buy a jersey!
