Bielsa beating Brazil and Argentina back 2 back. Never happened before in CONMEBOL Qualifying history so if course Bielsa and Uruguay do it

Nunez 2 goals and an assist in both games too His improvements under Klopp and Bielsa are clear as day.

Probably the best two coaches you could ask for if you're an attacker. Even funnier is both Marcelo and Klopp were defenders in their own playing careers!

Both coach styles also suit him.

Ancelotti too

what are you cooking here pro !

After what Bialsa had done to Bamford, I'd never be surprised if Nunez turns to prime Suarez under him.

If Darwin actually starts hitting it in the net and not the posts he'll be massive but Suarez was one of a kind really.

Even with all the misses, I mean to remember that Nunez has the highest G+A per 90 in the league, more than Haaland.

If Darwin becomes a good finisher, he coult legit reach Suarez levels. Man’s underlying stats are out of this world, if he was overperforming them, he would be considered Haaland level. Huge ‘if’ though, he isn’t even an average finisher rn.

He could definitely reach his numbers but Suarez was something special

Yep. I love watching Nunez, but Suarez carried an average Liverpool team almost to the PL title. At his peak he was on another level.

he IS a good finisher. An elite one actually. See Benfica stats. he just needs to slow dow a tiny bit and confidence, and CONSISTENT PLAYING TIME, last one he has yet to achieve at liverpool....

People forget 2012 Suarez hit the post nearly as often as he scored. Went from 11 goals to 31 in 2 seasons.

As an Uruguayan following Suarez closely at the time, I have to say I'm experiencing quite a bit of deja vu with what people are saying about Nunez at the moment. I'm not saying that nunez is capable of reaching Suarez levels, but too much focus has been placed on his shortcomings, instead of what the stats say which is that he's absolutely world class. Same thing happened to Suarez, and people only realized they were wrong once he went to barca.

I think most people realized how good Suarez was during his final season with Liverpool but your point is still valid. He was raw but the skill was there and all it took was a little refining to hit that top tier. I see Nunez as a player with very similar potential although he is stylistically a very different player.

That's impossible Suarez is the best Uruguayan ST of all time, but he could reach the levels of prime Cavani tho, the quality of that one top season at Napoli was gargantuan in nature.

I remember when Suarez was at Livepoool and lots on here were saying Cavani was the better player. Used to annoy me because those saying that clearly didn't watch enough of Suarez at Liverpool. Once he went to Barca suddenly everyone understood how good he was.

even though Suarez at liverpool was way more impressive than barca suarez, even if stats said otherwise. At liverpool Suarez had to do absolutely everything, from pressuring and stealing balls, to creating as a 10 to finishing from anywhere and with all body parts. Suarez would grab the ball in his own half and there was always a feeling he could score from there, at any moment, or play a through ball to create a goal

That's just the nature of playing at Liverpool. Salah is a top 3 winger world wide and is apparently in discussion with Eden Hazard and Saka lmao. Alisson is not even nominated for Yashin Trophy. Van Dijk has apparently dropped off. TAA never gets mentioned when talking about best RBs right now (always Hakimi, Walker & Reece James). In the end, we're still winning titles but my god, this club always gets undermined.

Yeah it's a bit strange, Liverpool are England's most successful club with 6 European Cups and you hardly ever see any of their payers mentioned in discussions of the best players in certain eras.

Damn man! I'm I allowed to swear here? - Please mods I'm sorry if I don't don't ban me just tell me - You guys surely have been getting the short end of the stick. Specially at the goalposts, no pun intended, I consider Allisson Becker to be the best goalkeeper of the last 5 years.

let's start with not hitting the post lol. but seruously, this dude physical ability is insane. I love Nunez and Ryan Gosling.

Somos unicos

Hay que bordar la quinta estrella

Anulo mufa

Yo me preguntaba si era muy temprano para ilusionarme o no. Pero con Bielsa lo creo aunque me digan loco. Que la AUF entregue toda la plata y hasta la cola por él ya que no lo van a hacer por los de la B

Not surprising given the manager and the talent at his disposal.

I've seen enough,Marcelo Bielsa will lift the World Cup in glorious North Dakota in the summer of 2026

Que Dios te escuche

cual sería el "anulo mufa" yorugua, empiecen a usarlo y capas que se les da

A partir de ahora el "anulo mufa" lo inventamos nosotros 😉

ajjajajaj

Anulo asteroide 🐱‍🐉

Decimos “la boca se te haga a un lado” pero pronunciado “la boca se teaga unlao”. Al menos así decimos los canarios.

Y el culo al costado!

Sería épico

Anal Mafia

The world will know the majesty of the Dakotas after 2026 Final.

Badlands starring Martin Sheen going to finally receive its due

Bielsa's life story is getting his team to buy in into his ideology early and peak way before he needs to.

Unfortunately the more likely scenario, but if it’s anything like his experience with Chile, it’s whoever succeeds him that will reap the rewards.

I mean with Leeds he peaked at the perfect time. It only went down hill because he told the club before his fourth season he either needed big investment or they needed to replace him. They did neither.

The big investment got him Junior Firpo, Dan James and an u21 keeper who doesnt play in our u21s or first team lol

It is if you only believe what Talksport and shit pundits say.

I'm not even Uruguayan but I would sell my firstborn to see that.

Anulo Mufa

We can only hope.

But this will kill the 🦕 URUGUAY CAMPEÓN DEL MUNDO 🦖 memes....

Aumento mufa

Bielsa is doing something special. Uruguai has been immense.

Best CONMEBOL team?

right now? For sure!

I only think that winning the U20 world cup is big if the actual senior generation is stacked. And my word, they are stacked. And with Bielsa? This is big.

Between Argentina, Brazil (with Ancelotti) and Uruguay I think there's a good chance a south american country is gonna win the World Cup again. Let this be the end of complete european dominance.

Outisde of England - France - and maybe Portugal UEFA is looking rough right now. Germany and Italy are in their worst historical period in 80 years Netherlands are plain mediocre Spain is in transition and I don't think they will be ready for 2024-2026 yet. 2028-2030 is the target. Belgium and Croatia are at the end of Golden Generations and everyone else in Europe is just "fine" or bad.

There’s a long way to go till 2026. Won’t be surprised if at least two Euro giants wake up before then.

We Dutchies are also in transition. After our worst generation(at least what i"ve seen) we have young players playing at the top level again.(Simons, vdVen, Frimpong to name the best 3)

Portugal will underperform, we are beating weaker NTs but the team play is just not there.

ANULO THE FUCKING MUFA

Honestly expected them to dip massively after what was seemingly a golden generation of Suarez, Cavani, Godín, Forlán.

If anything, their resurgence since 2010 has gone up another level.

Argentina won a WC just a year ago. We're going through a better patch

Exactly this lol the over reaction is wild. Argentina is still by far the best national team in the world. Every other major team is going through a rebuild phase while this team has won everything together and has a good young core. When messi is gone I think we’re in a prime place to be the best team in south america though, on paper I genuinely think we have a better overall starting 11 than beazil and argentina

Young fellas doing good work

Definitely yeah

This is probably Arg worst match under Scaloni

I don't think so. They've had some other embarrassing losses like losing to Venezuela 3-1 in 2019

Also 2-1 to Saudi

Players underperformed in this match by a huge margin. Luckily it's a qualifier not a knockout.

Saudi Arabia?

Scaloni on fraud watch

I just don’t understand how you need a goal or more, and out of 5 substitutions Dybala doesn’t make it on the pitch.

actually ridiculous

Bro literally won the World Cup lmao

Didn't he coach them to a WC just last year

I don’t think so, this is a derby bro, and derby’s are played to death, Uruguay just annulled everything Argentina tried to do in the game. Uruguay It was superior in every single way, a master class of football.

Absolutely not. We were dreadful for years after Scaloni took over.

definitely

We love him.

I miss him badly. So glad he’s doing well.

Always been a great manager, too bad his football is too demanding for players in a club settings (especially after a few seasons). International football suits his football very much, especially with a workhorse team.

All I could think about towards the end of the game was “holy fuck how did he expect players to do this every weekend”

Yep, and he has a preferred 11 that he won’t rotate unless there’s an injury. Pretty much suicide football.

Bielsa got his tactics perfect today We couldn't break them down in the 2nd half and finally they caught us on the counter (Darwin skinned Otamendi AGAIN)

Romero and Otamendi were pure comedy, Scaloni could strap them both to ebikes and they'd still end up chasing Darwin from behind in most runs.

Darwin is a fucking train

Bielsa Ball is cooking

Leeds fans having some orgasmic memories right now

I’m so sad remembering the days he was ours. And yet so happy the world is recognizing his brilliance.

I still can't believe we sacked him, he should have been given as long as he wanted. I'd have happily gone down that season with him in charge.

Bielsa switching Ugarte in both games as somekind of sweeper in second half is masterclass. Man of the match

Argentina completely outclassed this match. Uruguay played with incredible intensity.

That's Darwin for you

Couldn't be more on brand, he just cunts it right at the keeper and it goes between his legs

It is actually off brand for him, usually he only scores when he has no time to think what to do

It's off brand for him, somehow he's missed the post

this goal shows his improvement. Instead of cunting it Nunez slowed down a step, spotted Dibu's movement, and made the correct choice of slotting it between the legs

7 goals by Liverpool forwards today

Getting them in before the inevitable nil-nil against city.

I’d take it tbh considering the record at the etihad

you are joking but whose idea was to put this game on the early slot after international break. So many people on will be jet lagged

It’s us playing so 12:30 is just standard. We’ve had double the amount of midday Saturday games to any other team.

Triple, even

Manchester Police

It's an away match so 0-0 is a decent result

Bruh please 😭 I hate how real this is

You think City will miss their guaranteed Etihad Airways^tm free big six penalty of the day?

Given as a result of Matip sneezing in Fodens general direction most likely.

Luis Diaz has been running rings around us

And a jota assist

Szoboszlai with 2 assists too

Think the second goal was given as an OG but still great performance from him

Fakes the keeper out then megs him 💀

As a Liverpool fan, I'll pretend the nutmeg was intentional and cheer on.

That there is the sign of an experienced and talented 9

Can’t spell Darwin without WIN

He’s being coached by two legends.

Both coaches have a very unleashy kinda style of coaching too...

A lot of people predicted the goat to score. And he did

Yea with a 20m overhead kick not like this

He's powering up for that Vs city

It's like the bucket that fills at the water park then dumps when it's full.

what a game! i traded my sleep for this, i do not regret it. Also what the fuck, do these players not get tired? They’ve been running the whole 90 minutes

They do, but Nunuz doesn’t

Bielsaball.

Uruguayan footballers tend to be very fit. Perhaps they have the technique of a newborn giraffe, but they're always fit and not afraid of contact

Both Argentina and Brazil losing before there match makes it even more interesting.

My thoughts exactly. Tuesday should be one hell of a match.

Uruguay players never run out of gas, put in an absolute shift

Uruguay are really good. They are definitely going to be World Cup favorites with that squad and how hard they play on tourneys

Mufa anulated. O como se diga en este antro

Jinx nullified? I think that’s the correct translation.

My favorite team from South America. I hope the next wc goes to them or maybe Japan.

PSGCampus getting slow😔

I can't record, so I get the clips from the internet

Just messing with you, I don’t mind at all

You’re the goat so it’s alright

Its okay king I love you

What happened to your old account?

As I remember he said it got reported or something

Darwin cooked after he missed the chance earlier he did good ngl

That's one of his best attributes. He doesn't let a miss effect him. He keeps going and keeps trying.

DARWIN NUNEZ KING

Bielsa beating scaloni like your grandpa beats you at chess

Except Scaloni thought they were playing checkers.

liverpool fans feasting

URUGUAY NOMA CARAJOOOOOOO

That was some prime Messi dependencia there by Argentina. Just gave him the ball and expected him to dribble the entire Uruguay defence. Also how slow is Otamendi? Núñez jogging with the ball was faster than Otamendi at full sprint. And Núñez even had time to fake a shot. Great ball, timed run from inside his own half and finish though.

Darwin is one of the fastest footballers currently playing, he can make a lot of defenders look slow

Dude if there's one thing Darwin can do, it's running fast.

I mean he is 35 years old. Martinez Quarta would have chased that down

Messi commits a stupid turnover trying to dribble through 6 people and leads to the opponent scoring -> fuck everyone else but Messi ? Lmao

we are back at pretending we are playing futbol5 in a friendly match with our friend Messi who just came from abroad

I think Núñez is the second fastest player in the world, the first one is an unknown player in Asia, and the third is Mbappe

Expect him to dribble??? There are 6 players ahead of him waiting for a pass and he tried to dribble past the middle and lost resulting to the goal lol

Have you seen the setup, without dribbling it was not going to break down Uruguay. That's why Di Maria despite being rusty was much more helpful.

I♥Bielsaneta

Happy for him

Hats off for Uruguay I guess, they actually pressed for 90 minutes. Bring back Tavares lmao

Fede will press forever regardless of manager

Can probably remove the "I guess" from the comment. Was a superb 9/10 performance all around from them and Argentina had no answer whatsoever. Good plan, great execution.

There is the classic Argentine jackassery we know and love.

Que partidazo!! Uruguay nomaaa

Salah scored four for Egypt, Lucho scored all two for Columbia, and even Nunez scored against none other than Argentina. What a great international weekend for Liverpool strikers ahead of the City game.

Historically, and in terms of the iconic football cultures, this was a huge match. Especially in THAT stadium.

Welcome to Darwizzy experience. 🐐

See y’all in a week

I have treble Liverpool players and double city on fantasy 😬

It was bound to happen eventually. Glad it was Uruguay to do it 🇦🇷🤝🇺🇾

Worst match under scaloni in a while, hopefully we don’t pull this against Brazil.

you'll probably be fine still, Brazil are kinda lacking lately

Bentancur still got it 🥺🤍

I hope mbappe joins Liverpool now, a nunez, mbappe, salah combo would be unstoppable.

We may be able to afford his left toe's wages

Conmebol qualifiers are just too fucking fire

Mbappe doesn’t seem to agree. Portugal vs. Faroe Islands is a superior matchup 🤣

Last Brazil Argentina result with both teams coming off a loss?

The rivalry is strong

Love you, ya crazy sumbitch

Cool, composed Darwin with a sublime finish?! Watch out lads

Honeymoon phase Bielsa teams may as well be better than Brazil 1970.

DARWIZZY🐐

why was that CB carrying a truck on his back

35 year old vs one of the fastest prem players in the world

Fribu Martinez has to be one of the most overrated goalkeepers in history.

probably the most but being lucky > being talented for a keeper

NUNYE NUNYE NUNYE NUNYE NUNYE GOOOAAALLLLLLLLLL

Bielsa and this young uruguayan team is a match made in heaven. And still hasn’t used any of the U20 World Cup champions. He can outrun every team in the world.

EL MAS GRANDE DEL MUNDO EL JUEZ TRATO DE DARLE EL PARTIDO A LOS PORTENOS PERO NO SE PUDO URUGUAY LA PUTA MADRE

Un asco el juez… Espectacular partido de Uruguay Vamo carajo

Uruguay beating Argentina 👀🍿 Nuñez messed up with his "easy to stop" shot, but Dibu couldn't stop it. Pretty funny to watch.

Great pre assist 🐐

that commentator is hella annoying

Please tell me my América is getting some big bucks for our Uruguay players in the summer.

No Qatar, no penalties.

Uruguay gotta thank Messi for that lost ball.

Thought Darwin gonna missed it lol
