Yeah Wimbledon does seem to be a game for the big servers or the serve and volley types. Not sure how accurate video games are, but on Super Tennis on the SNES, hard court was always more fun than grass because the bounce was better and you could get more rallies going. Then it was the same in...

One of the favourites yeah, as one of the best teams in Europe. But as always so much plays a part, there are so many variables - form and tiredness at latter stages of the season, injuries, and not at all inconsequential is the luck factor in a knockout tournament. It's too early to say really...

Can't even be bothered watching this game, to be honest. I've hardly watched any of this since the group stage. Edit - also, Chelsea with just the three keepers on the bench lol.

I don't even think it's that close either (in talent). Who are the 90s born players who could rival him? Hazard, De Bruyne, Salah (bit PL centric this). Anyone else? This has made me realise that players born in the 80s were generally better than 90s ones. Unless that is nostalgia. But I am 82...

I like tennis but would consider my eye untrained with it. I have noticed when I have watched bits of the hard court stuff (US and Australian Opens) the game does seem faster and more exciting. Probably the larger bounce.

He's a big talent and a quality player but he isn't ready yet for the very top level, as Jamrock implies. He needs another 2-3 years to be really really good at the level Real Madrid operate at. You can see it when you watch him that he doesn't have the experience to know where to run, his...

Bit weird that there's a European referee tonight. It doesn't matter much really but normally unless two teams are from the same confederation they ensure it's a referee from a confederation neither team is from. I doubt he will favour Chelsea, but still.

Probably second most talented after Messi, but overall as a player in terms of his career behind Messi, Ronaldo, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, maybe Robben etc. Of course I am taking liberties a bit as Xavi was born in 1980 and Neymar in 1992, so not really same generation. But their careers crossed...

Not been watching Wimbledon, but thread seems unusually quiet given it is going on right now and is essentially the World Cup of tennis. There's many big tennis fans on here. I guess you guys will discuss more when it gets to the latter stages.

Some tremendous players on that park mate.

Agree with that too. I would say though that implying Liverpool fans should care more about it than other football fans is part of the celebrity worship problem, or more pertinently the issue of tribalism and us vs them in football. Sure they watched him more, but he was as much of a stranger...

I understand @malvolio's and @Don Juan Laporta Estruch's point to an extent - though the former has put it across more forcefully and less diplomatically than I would (and am about to). As @MonteCuler says, it is very very sad that a young man (and his brother too) has died and his wife and...

Never said anything about his coaching, which is high class. Just that his ability to spot talent might be overblown.

I would also absolutely love it if Wirtz, Kerkez, Frimpong and whoever else they sign (Isak?) totally flop and these cunts win fuck all. I don't like Man City, but bellend entitled 'heritage' clubs like this lot, Man United and Arsenal, the three red arsecheeks who think they deserve to own...

Btw, Edwards and the scouting team got loads wrong too in terms of transfers- people just remember the great ones he got (and even he couldn't have predicted the likes of Salah, Robertson and Allison would be as brilliant as they have been). Going back many years: 'Graham does tend to sugar...

(I know I said the other post would be my last post). Not being funny but I said Isak was a player at the Euros in 2021. And Nunez always looked a donkey to me. I'd have signed Isak at the time too. It's wholly unsurprising to me that Isak has proved to be better by a mile. It's not some...

This will be my last post for a while. The frothing at the mouth by some because Miami lost to PSG is sad, but predictable. I mean they had absolutely no chance - they're a poor MLS team with a shocking defence playing against an extremely technical, very fast (physically and mentally) team...

You're probably one of these gimps who thinks football is life and death. It isn't. How much money do you personally put into Barcelona? None, I bet. Bet you live in another continent and watch games in your piss stained trousers at 5 am on a dodgy stream. Stop trying to act like you...

LOL. Why, because I said a girl was hot (even animated)? You are clearly a religious extremist/cultist who has sexual hang ups. Weird cunt. Religion is for morons.

Not denying it and don't see it as an insult anyway.
