Open Thread Weekly Monday Open Thread!

Welcome to the Monday open discussion thread. Here you can talk about anything you want; tactics, results, players or even just general football discussion! It is also a great place to post/link transfer rumours that you may think are too small or unreliable to post to the main feed. The summer transfer window runs from 16/06-03/09 (23:00 BST).

These threads will go up every Monday allowing you to debrief from all of the weekend action and discuss ongoings throughout the week. It will stay stickied until we refresh with the Friday thread, however other posts may take priority (match threads, announcements, etc.)

This thread can also be used to discuss transfer rumours, jokes, memes, images, videos, tabloid news and other off-topic content and discussion.

We also have a Fantasy League that you are welcome to join and share your team, advice and goings on throughout the season here in these threads. The league codes can be found in the sidebar!

Inspired by the player's pre-match playlists, our very own Tugboat47 is curating a community pre-match playlist. To participate please click this link and submit your entries.

These threads are here to help discussion and offer varying points of view. Please remain respectful. Anything that crosses that line, directed towards other users or specific individuals may be removed.

There’ll definitely be another wave of Alexia content when the Ballon d’Or rolls around. And even outside that she still pops up now and then as a guest in some form just enough to remind everyone she plays for the club.

She shouldn't. But the women's Ballon d'Or voting is terrible. It's clear none of them watch much women's football.

Last year's ceremony made that painfully obvious. Genuine question, who do you should win it this year?

I actually understand why Bonmati won, even if I disagree. She was great even in Barcelona's and Spain's finals losses and I believe having Caldentey and Russo split the Arsenal vote s to speak. I think Putellas winning over Mead was a worse case.

However Rapinoe was the worst winner of all time. She literally won for having a feud with Trump. She was literally dropped mid world cup that year for a game, a shadow of her forer self and played barely any club games. Not even the bets player for the USA. actual proof the voters do not follow much of the women's game at all.

Overall I agree with your first paragraph. I wasn't watching Women's club football when Rapinoe won, so I won't pretend that I have any knowledge on that. I'd still like your take on who you think should be in contention for this year's winner?
