The opposite. Liverpool would be the best. Would be some great games.

Superb game. Passing, finishing, positional awareness especially about sticking to the RW, runs in behind, mobility - he had everything today. This is when Messi can cause most damage. Let's hope he keeps this style throughout this season.

FCB1987 I based it on the previous seasons - so for eg. 2007 award would be for the 06/07 season, 2008 award would be for 07/08 season and so on. imo Suarez was the best player in 13/14. Ronaldo would have been second or third.

If we're supposed to go by who played well in the biggest games even if they had a bit lower consistency (which imo is CL and big league games and is actually important, as opposed to only looking at best consistency and talent): 2007- Kaka 2008- Ronaldo 2009- Messi 2010- Messi 2011- Messi...

If we're supposed to go by who the actual best player is week-in week-out (based on performances in the previous season): 2007- Ronaldo 2008- Ronaldo 2009- Messi 2010- Messi 2011- Messi 2012- Messi 2013- Messi 2014- Suarez 2015- Messi 2016- Messi 2017- Messi 2018- Messi

Would have gone with meh given how EV will lineup with so many players of the profile he likes (aka CL campaign 17/18). But let's be optimistic and hope EV utilizes his resources better this time. Honestly, the Barca squad is actually good this season (barring injuries).

Yeah, boring is subjective - but there are some common tendencies between most football-watching fans these days and it's unnecessary to deny them. Although boring is "subjective", the vast majority of the footballing world applauded Pep's Barca, not because they were winning things, but because...

I thought this was the most boring Barca I've ever seen in my life, even in La liga. The football under EV was nowhere close to great aesthetically. With City this season - playing some of the most, if not the most, gorgeous football the Premier League has seen and accumulating 100 points with...

The Banega pass happened because Nigeria completely pushed up, which was rarely the case with France today. If Argentina did not concede against so France so quickly after going 2-1 up, we may have seen more of such passes and movement. He played how a false 9 is supposed to play. The...

Look, man, what good would Messi's movement have achieved with this Argentina team? Most of their players cannot attempt a moderately-risky sideways pass with greater than 60% accuracy. I understand this argument with the Barca team who have better passers such as Iniesta, Busquets, and Rakitic...

I don't know if Portugal are a high-level team - but they are definitely levels above wherever Argentina is. Right now, Ronaldo has the team edge at both club and country level. Agreed that Portugal look like they have a plan, and have a coherent idea of how they are supposed to play or attack...

The best Croatian player ever, and one of the best midfielders of all time.

What a legend. One of the GOAT German midfielders.

Anybody who talks shit about Messi regarding the Croatia game is an absolute moron. Fraudioli put out one of the most embarrassing shithead managerial performances I've ever had the misfortune of watching on TV. Let's break down all the disastrous Fraudian decisions from that tattoo parlor...
