Think it's more to do with style of play and mentality. Maradona was more extravagant and more of a showboater/showman at times, like Ronaldinho. Like the rabonas and overhead kicks and stuff. Messi has a very simple, economical style of football and dribbling. He doesn't try anything overly...

Two extremely important goals, really. The Chelsea goal that kickstarted Pep's Barca's brilliance, and the goal that won the World Cup. The guy is a genius and one of the best players of all time. Also, Andres and Arjen have been bald for even longer than me @Fati_Future_BallonDor

Yeah I alluded to that before, as we discussed. I am not criticising her, just saying I hope she gets back to her best before tournament finishes, so I can enjoy watching her at her best.

According to some people though football and footballers automatically get better over time. Because stuff like cars and runners do, or something.

That's true too. But don't think it's as simple as that either, correlation is not necessarily causation. I don't think PSG are brilliant just because Mbappe left lol. That does a disservice to their other players. I'd also posit a counter argument - that if Vini was playing for PSG (instead of...

Like I said before though, Vini has had the opportunity to play in the team without him, and with being fed and being the main man. Mbappe has not had that luxury without Vini. He's come into an unbalanced team, partly because of him admittedly. I think Real Madrid would be better if they sold...

Aye ok. Is that why she plays for Damaiense, whoever they are? lol.

I heard of her the other night. Lol you are mentioning all the very beautiful women players. It's about skill on the park;) But yeah, she makes Margot Robbie look average.

Fell asleep and missed the third goal, but before that it was a good game. Italy started well actually, put a few good moves together, but Spain took control after they went 1-0 down. Shocker of a handball after failed clearance by Paredes, she was lucky to get away with that with it being...

I didn't say that - yes, lots of them players will fail too. Man United bought some punts I don't rate who failed, sometimes for massive money, eg Hojlund, Zirkzee, Ugarte. They got De Ligt and he's more under your banner - people would say he's a Dutch international with a good CV of good clubs...

Yeah PSR and FFP in England has all been about protecting the three red clubs (three cunt clubs) who view themselves as deserving of ruling the game there indefinitely because the handouts they got were further back in history than the handouts others have had. The irony is the very same...

There's been a lot of good performers this season, in different clubs. As OP points out. I am also not that big a Declan Rice fan, but he's a very good player (not on Vitinha and Pedri and Neves etc level obv) who had a good season, and harsh to single him out as a joke from that list as...

Yeah Fati was a futile attempt to try to prove me wrong, but it was obviously a bad argument. Maybe I am being harsh on the lad. He probably could prove useful as a squad player as he has this season. I don't think he's terrible or anything, just 'decent' or 'nothing great but has his uses'...

That's a strawman. No coach improves every player. And Fati is an injured guy who I don't think could be fixed by God himself. So as you already know that is an example in bad faith. I am not even a big Flick fan. Defensively he's awful but he gets teams attacking brilliantly and Ferran has...

Maybe. I am not arrogant enough or egotistical enough to claim I am right in this matter or any other, football or any other subject. Ultimately it's a game of opinions and we all get some right and some wrong. Maybe you will be right, and if you are, well done and fair play to Torres. He seems...

Agree fully with the first line, but prefer Olise to Nico. That's the beauty of football - it's a game of opinions, and people can be right with each other on one issue and opposed on another.

Ok fair enough. I apologise for my aggressive tone. I just have a bee in my bonnet when people talk like players at smaller clubs suck. So I apologise for the ad homs. Tbh I have seen Ferran this season, but my impression is he started showing better performances more towards the end of the...

So what? Playing at international level isn't the be all and end all. Loads of players do ok for their country but aren't the same at club level. France have a lot of depth in attacking positions so no shame in that for Mbeumo. Rate players with your eyes and by watching them - not by how many...

Yeah just pick out one thing of what I said. And typical big club supporter mentality - 'if you don't play for an elite club in elite competitions you aren't that good'. I'd bet good money you haven't watched a single game of Wolves or Brentford in their time there. If it was up to guys like...

It's fucking laughable. 50m is hilarious enough but serghei in his infinite wisdom is saying he wouldn't take a penny less than 70m. So many modern football fans can't see beyond the last few months. So reactionary. This guy is nothing special and just had a few good months imo. Can you imagine...
