Was it not Saka that Chiellini grabbed by the collar that time?

A real they all look alike post
Richard Keoghs retirement deserves mention. A solid who always represented the country well.

The replies from the Fulham fans are typical of the lows of social media

If I was to have lived the life of any Professional Footballer of the last 30 years, it would have been as Toni Kroos.
And if I was to pick a way to retire, this would be it, None of this messing about in Saudi or America.

His boots, face and hairline haven’t changed since 2014.

That movie based on his football life was very good. I like the way he didn’t stay around at FC Hollywood, he grasped his chance with Real with both hands.

I just associate him being a central figure in all the really big nights in Champions League/World Cups/Euros since around 2012.

No ambition innit
And one more dance for Big Ears to come.
You wouldn’t begrudge Reus winning that though.

Wojciech Szczesny Has retired - an alright sort
(2019): “At Roma, I benched Alisson - the best goalkeeper in the world. At Juventus, I benched buffon - the best keeper ever. Turns out I’m the best goalkeeper in history!”
(2023) : “Joining Saudi League? I have no shortage of money in my life. I’ve already earned a lot of money during my career. I prefer cool challenges. I believe it is worth having other priorities than chasing money."

Sounds like there’s a bit of a want in him.
And he was a shit keeper.
He’s a keeper, of course he’s odd.
He was far from shit

An awful misstep to go to united you’d have to say. Poor fella could never recover from it.
been the graveyard of many a career. not the theatre of dreams but where hope goes to die
I hope he made a few bob from it, but I doubt it will be much of a consolation.
Was a serious player. Won the champions league and the World Cup. Automatically puts him at the top table. Only 31 too.
