I never thought this would be possible, but you've just overrated Messi. He's the best player of this generation, but let's not get too carried away. And + dribbling? Iniesta's dribbling is every bit as good as Messi's, arguably better in tight areas. That said, Messi is indeed the greatest...

Well yeah, if the same standard is applied, Terry should at the very least get the same ban as Suarez. But I'd rather the same mistake was not repeated twice. Two wrongs don't make a right. But I'm pretty convinced Terry will be found guilty by the CPS, the evidence on his case seems to be...

I wonder what's wrong with Pedro. In seasons past, when Pedro had a good chance to score, I was pretty much sure he'd score, he was an incredible finisher scoring once every two shots. But this season he seems to have completely lost his finishing ability. He still contributes a lot on the...

If Hleb actually plays, it'll probably be Ronaldo. Otherwise, Hleb.

Yeah, if anything this will only encourage racism in football, setting a quite dangerous precedent. People were interested in everything except finding out what actually happened and what actually was said, which we will probably never find out. We have like six different accounts of events...

Yeah, I don't think Terry is necessarily a racist, but he should still be punished if found guilty, beyond reasonable doubt, of using racial slurs. No doubt about that, heat of the moment or not. I'm glad the case will go to the CPS though, we need at least a semblance of credibility restored...

He's one of the best headers of the ball in the world, regardless of size. His heading technique is fantastic, very few can match it. I'd say he's the second best header of the ball in La Liga at the moment after Falcao, although this is an evaluation based on a somewhat limited sample so maybe...

Honestly, I really want to trust the justice system. In an ideal situation, Terry having money is an irrelevance. The evidence on his case seems to be much stronger (read: it seems to actually exist), I believe or rather hope the truth is revealed this time. As for your question, although I...

He scored a header? But I thought he was an incomplete player who couldn't head the ball :lol:

Hmm now that I searched a bit, it seems that reports are conflicting. I'd go with 8 because wiki has 8 and they're generally the most reliable source for football statistics (because player have people handling their wiki pages). But it's not relevant, Xavi is awesome regardless of how many...

Xavi has 8 goals. The LPF attributed the Madrid goal at the Bernabeu to him, so officially he has 8.

I believe the main problem is that many people fail to grasp just how serious an issue racism is. This whole saga in the media/among fans was about people like some of the posters you see on here rooting for Suarez to get punished because "it's obvious he did it" (with a such strong argument...

Yeah, it was not the right thing to do. If I were a Liverpool fan, I'd be disappointed either. And even as a neutral in this affair, I kind of am. For people who think racism is just a trivial matter, of no importance, as Hatem Ben Arfa (the BarcaForum poster of course, not the player), I'm...

Very interesting article. Is the author really legit? If so, that's some new interesting information on the case. I also liked Liverpool's statement, but I believe they should have appealed, mostly for moral reasons. The consequences of this decision for football as a whole will be disastrous...

Hulk is a brilliant player, surely the best in the Portuguese League by a distance. Porto will demand a very high fee to let go of him for sure. Falcao went for 40 million and Hulk is a considerably superior player.

Indeed. It's not only sickening, but a bit scary to see how much power the FA have to make decisions like this and ruin a player's life/career with no evidence. Liverpool should definitely take this as far as possible. And yeah, who ever expected the media to produce a decent analysis? The...

I agree with this. Liverpool were very naive in believing the FA would actually conduct a serious and honest investigation, they should have been a lot more careful. The question is: what next? If I were Liverpool, I'd definitely not drop the case and not run away from a fight, as you said...

Not really. Because of how disciplined and advanced tactically German football and especially German footballers are, they can always get far in competitions even when the talent isn't abundant. If I'm not mistake, they only failed to reach the QF of the World Cup once. Basically, if everyone...

Game. Set. Match. After reading this, no sane person would ever dare rate Pep ahead of Mourinho. This argument has put an end to all possible doubts :lol:

Yes, this is what I meant. He doesn't have to necessarily play out wide, but he's not a playmaker, or at least not at his best in that function. Wait, Klose ahead of Gomez. That'd be a big decision. I mean, Klose is an NT legend, but it's hard to look past Super Mario's relentless form over...
