Yeah anyone who doesn't agree Grealish is more talented - better technique, better first touch, better dribbler, higher football IQ, better decision making - is a bit of a moron. Not trying to be harsh. It's like Neymar vs Bale - Bale is much more explosive, faster and physical, but Neymar a...

Don't rate Grealish's looks at all, looks like a junkie in the face. We can debate it in private message though if you like, lol.

It's far too easy to blame Man United being rubbish for Rashford underperforming for most of his career (and for a lot of his career they weren't as bad as recently). You have done that lazy thing of alleviating players of all responsibility for their own performances just by blaming the...

I remember watching this at the time - he should never talk football ever again.

Grealish is more my type of player but I think Rashford can make a bigger difference in big games. Potentially, and that's the key word.

Think Grealish is better technically and more cerebral, better playmaker. Rashford is explosive and more of a goal threat. Btw I don't think Rashford can play adequately as a CF.

Feeling like maybe I wrote him off too early as I said. Just never rated him at Man United other than here and there. It could still go wrong at Barca, but in theory with a great attacking coach in Flick and surrounded by better team-mates he could do well. That's theory, and it doesn't always...

You think so? I quite like him. Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention, though.

They look a lot alike yet weirdly I think Martin looks better with short hair and Maldini with long (though could be I have only saw short haired Maldini when he was older). Strange that.

Might be yeah. They have made some decent signings.

Anyway, I have decided that Rashford has some good qualities which could be useful for Barcelona. He might do well. I am intrigued to see how it goes for him as he's the type who could be great or a disaster, with very little in between.

It's really just a friendly. It's really hard to say who will win the PL this season. A lot depends on if Man City can find their level again.

Fair play mate. Maybe Portugal could do it. However, I think it would require the stars aligning and would be more of an upset than some reckon it would be.

Fair enough young man. Thanks for taking the banter in good spirits.

It matters but what is more important is that Ronaldo and/or Martinez will find a way to fuck it up, I feel. true, Santos isn't great, but they failed then too anyway. I just feel we hear about them before every tournament and every time they underperform (even when they won something). Like...

Except Spain and Germany have a (recent) history of winning. Portugal do not. And I would back both to beat Portugal in a big knockout game, as they have plenty of times before. Germany were world champions in recent past thanks to sorting their youth and Spain have had their golden era since...

It doesn't matter. The Ronaldo and Martinez factors are much more important, as I said. Conceicao and Neto are good players but hardly superstars who lead teams to world titles. This is what I mean with overrating their players.

See if I had a tenner for every time I wrote off Portugal or England before a tournament and was proved correct, I'd have more money than Jeff Bezos.

We heard all this about Portugal before every tournament and they always underperformed. They underperformed in 2016 too, they just got lucky. We heard this before Euro 2024 - 'Portugal are a real threat' 'watch out for Portugal'. I wrote them off and was right to do so. Every time they play a...

They'd need to fluke it. It would be a huge upset. How are they better now with Ronaldo four years older and still playing and destabilising them, and the coach being worse? Yes, they have brought through some superior players, but that will take second stage relative to the Ronaldo and...
