    Edgar Davids

    Yeah people think he was just aggressive and a terrier but he was a very technically accomplished footballer. A few people have mentioned him to me since I started wearing the glasses lol

    Alessandro Del Piero

    Yeah for me the young del piero of that time was better than tptti ever was. But later on totti was better, as shown by him generally being selected for Italy over Alessandro. True. Totti is something of an imbecile lol.

    Edgar Davids

    He has glaucoma. I have keratoconus, which is something different and affects my left eye.

    Edgar Davids

    Bumping because as a guy who has to wear glasses, I can play football without them. But my vision isn't perfect with nothing on, so I wear football glasses like he did. It's too dangerous to wear normal glasses as they can shatter in your eye if the ball hits you in the face. It's actually...

    Alessandro Del Piero

    Haven't read the thread hence might have been discussed already, but was he better than Totti? I always preferred Totti, but young Del Piero before all the injuries was exceptional.

    George Best

    Just bumping, as this seems a fitting thread but it could really go in several players threads. Who do you think are the top 5 dribblers of all time, or at least of players we have seen a bit of either live or in footage? Could it be (in no order) Messi, Maradona, Garrincha, R9 and Best...

    Arjen Robben

    Top shout - liked him since France '98.

    Arjen Robben

    Yeah mate I understand Forgot Vicente. Loved him and Joaquin at Valencia. Robben was just a supreme player, absolutely loved watching him. He created absolute danger every time he got the ball. He was electric.

    Do you wish Barca played in 2025 FIFA Club World Cup?

    As I said can see both sides of the argument. But I ultimately voted no, for two reasons: From a Eurocentric POV, it's a pointless tournament (though as I said that could change with the benefit of hindsight); Player welfare. I really feel for players having to play this much football. Yes I...

    Emiliano Martínez 'Dibu'

    Di maria was easily Man United's most talented player when he was there. He was just moved about by Van Gaal, suffered a robbery. He never wanted to be there in the first place - he was forced out of Real Madrid because the signed Bale the previous summer and didn't wanna keep compromising by...

    Nico Williams

    Aye forgot Ballack and Ze Roberto. In summer of 2002 Ballack was the big thing in football, like Wirtz is now. Though he was obviously a bit older than Wirtz is now even by then. By the time Ballack was at Chelsea he was outshined by guys like Essien and Lampard.

    Yep, that is who I meant by goat boy, lol.

    Nico Williams

    True and I had them in mind, but tbh that sort of backs my point as well. They were good strikers, but they were never the cream of the South American crop. They had to make do for the lesser (but still good) forwards. Barca and Real and the PL took your Rivaldos, Ronaldos, Agueros, Di Marias...

    Nico Williams

    I noticed that too. Thought it was a typo as I read it as Sanitzer (though you don't really do those) and was too polite to be a grammar Nazi and point it out, lol.

    Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

    Nipples LOL. Good one.

    Nico Williams

    To be fair to Bayern you can sort of understand it. They don't really have the South American or Latin source/route like the big Spanish and Portuguese clubs have so they have to buy from within their league and generally Northern or Western Europe. I think someone said that earlier too.

    You forgot goat boy, among others lol. Did they pay a fee for him?

    Premier League 25/26

    Some good games on paper at the start of the season. An an ABU I normally look for United's games first. They have a tough start. On paper a more gentle December and run in. But then, no game is easy for them given how poor they are.
