Denzel Zanzibar 6,968 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Adama Traore has been given his first full Spanish call-up for the upcoming Euro qualifiers. Good to see him getting recognition from his country! Link to post Share on other sites

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,488 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I think Mali have enough Adama Traores in their team already. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,632 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Aden Flint's finishing continues to be shocking at Cardiff. It's like he's too tall to head the ball well. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,063 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I think their ambition is to field a full team of Traores just to confuse the officials......like that cricket team in Dewsbury....Patel, Patel, Patel, Patel, etc.......of course, it doesn't let Mali fans sing "There's only one Adama Traore"....

I wonder if all the Traores were on the pitch at the same time how they'd do the shirts. Traore Adama A. Traore? Link to post Share on other sites

If they intend to keep selecting him and he can have a good international career with them then great but otherwise just let the lad play for Mali and have a good international career there.

TeaCider24 12,632 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 They're not just capping him for the sake of it though, he's decent and might be good enough to play for Spain in a few years. He's Spanish, not Malian, but it's the unfortunate situation that teams now have to rush selections because players will choose to play for their dad/nan's country if they don't get picked for their actual country quick enough. At least with players like Zaha and Assombalonga going to play for C'ôte d'Ivoire and DR Congo were actually born in those countries, even if they were raised here and only joined up after failing to break in to the England team. Saying that though, I'm sure Traore probably feels a strong connection to his heritage, being black and Muslim in a majority white and Catholic country. Link to post Share on other sites

He may well do, it was just the timing of it that made me wonder. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,632 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Liverpool somehow 2-0 up against Man City, VAR nowhere to be seen. They've not played particularly well for like a month. It really is there year this time. Link to post Share on other sites
