On paper Barca have the best squad in La Liga. And maybe the best in Europe too (though I still lean Man City for that). All the other stuff - tactics, tiredness, peaking at the right time, rest, managing injuries, staying confident, luck - is stuff that has to be managed well. Those are big...

Hahaha aye, just cos I am at the computer right now. I would likely have missed it if typing on phone. I am much faster at a keyboard. Don't worry - you didn't read it wrong. I can see how it might have been read as if I meant I was there in person. I was gonna delete my post after you did but...

Wearing number 11. Time is a funny thing. He was obviously the star of the team, hence doing the keepie uppies. It would be hard for him not to be the star of any team. But I wonder what happened to most of his team-mates? Did they have a career in the professional game? Or did some of them...

Nah just on TV. I have never actually been to Catalonia. But I don't class myself as a Barca fan anyway so it's all good. My brother is apparently going to Barcelona for his 40th next April. Think he wants to try to line it up with a Barca game.

Wydad winning - think that I predicted a draw in that one. Might be a mistake.

I watched that game live, was truly incredible. Like Horatio says it counted for nothing ultimately. However, in the moment it was spectacular.

Fucking hell River are pathetic. So so dirty. Acuna is an imbecile.

Arsenal are probably the most overrated team in Europe. If they didn't play in the PL and weren't remembered fondly from the prime Wenger era nobody would rate them that highly. Absolute bottle merchants who have never won the CL, and haven't won their own league for over twenty years. I...

They're out. Dark times for Sundowns @Porque

Haha belter

He's the best in the world, but xavi and iniesta are greatest of all time midfielders..I think xavi is best ever and iniesta top 5 or 6...it's a big ask. Still think he's incredible though

Fair enough. I agree he's be acceptable for rotation. But he has a big ego and will likely kick up a fuss if he isn't starting.

Sundowns will have won a lot of fans with how they've played in this tournament. Been entertaining and attacking. They need to score, though.

Looks great in that video. But we have to remember videos can be misleading. Looks a good talent though. Hope he has a good career and prime when he comes to Europe. Looking forward to seeing more from him.

I think there's more strong teams now in that there's about 10 elite teams in Europe. But also more weak teams (relative to the elite teams) and teams that get hammered.. This is due to the narrow player distribution. That's probably why so many people are obsessed with the so called 'big...

You might be right. But I just dont think Messi aside, and yamal toi, theres any potential all time greats. But guess it's same in most generations I think what you mean is the average or good player is better than the average or good player of the past. So it was easier for world class players...

Sundown doing well again

Yeah iniesta was a great passer too but his true genius was in the form of wriggling in tight spaces and dribbling. Pedri is a great dribbler but not as good as iniesta at it.

Yeah I agree, superior fitness means the old teams would lose. But they're not inferior in talent, quite the opposite. If we transported those teams to modern day and trained them up to modern standards, the fitness and medical advantage would be eliminated. I'm talking about the talent of...

So today we have Dortmund-Ulsan and Sundowns-Fluminese. 8 pm local time UK Ulsan are out. Sundowns have impressed people but need to win to go through. They know what they must do. If Sundowns lose or draw then Dortmund are through even if they lose. Then Inter-River and Red Diamonds-Monterrey...
