CR has seriously the worst WC career among the top 10-20 players ever :mou:

His most underrated season IMO

Where is Cristiano? :mou: Btw I find the obsession with the "year" stats quite weird. Football revolves around seasons, not years. Yet everyone has heard of the 91 goals record, but few actually know that in 2011/12 he scored 73 for Barca alone, which was also a record iirc. And most of the...

They are really a C tier nation. Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy, France and Spain are all miles ahead of them. Holland has also performed better historically compared to them. Uruguay too. They really are in the Portugal tier :lol:

+Spain 2024

I saw a graph, that says it all really..It revealed that since 2002, England has only won against a top 10 team once out of eleven times (and that was Denmark in 2020...) Despite their recent' success, in reality, they only reached the latter stages of the tournaments because they played shit...

The football gods gave back everything they took away in his prime..1 WC and 2 Copas

That's an interesting question. It's a little bit of both actually. But it is quite interesting (and sad) that Tiki-Taka was at its peak in 2011, was still dominant in 2012 and then fell off massively in 2013, not only for Barca but also for Spain. By 2014, it was already dead.

True. Funnily enough, despite its dominance, that summer was the beginning of the end for Tiki-Taka

Love him or hate him, he was the main reason Brazil was somehow competitive during his prime (often going in the tournaments as favorites and then underperforming). Otherwise, Brazil has been a big pile of shit the last 15-20 years or so (yeah they won Copa America w/o him, but one Copa in 15...

That quote is taken out of context. He liked to come on as a sub to impact the final minutes of the game, in cases of injury or suboptimal fitness. He never said that he would like to permanently play as a sub. And though his ego is nowhere big as Ronaldo‘s, history has shown that he never...

Totti literally retired from his NT aged 30, after the WC win :lol: And Joaquin is just a bad example, he is nowhere near that level of fame and impact on the team. Almost all legends of the game retired as starters, either really at their peak or because they overstayed their welcome. Zidane...

Players like Messi, just aren‘t meant to be subs. It sounds great in theory, but almost all great players (most of which are 2-3 tiers below Leo) retired from their NTs as starters.

CR 2010 or 2014? :mou:

Especially from 2009 until 2011, his dribbling was out of this world, we may never see something like that again

The OG is back! Let' hope

We should have won La Liga that season, Messi played some great football for 3-4 months.
