Their fans thought they would easily win this and some of them still believe they are making progress and have lot of top players either now or potentially. Their squad is awful - Amorim has made mistakes but does seem better than Ten Hag. Still, he isn't a miracle worker and can't make a silk...

He's obviously a good player, and will play well a fair bit. It's just all the comparisons to Zidane and 'best player in the world' shouts that are OTT.

Yeah true - not really directed at Flick, just what Barcaman said. It's more a general comment if someone is asked and says something like 'I just wanna focus on my team'. But it is still the decent thing to say well done to opponent (assuming they win fairly).

Agree with you there. It's admirable when a coach just wants to focus on his own team, but you also have to prepare for the different styles and players you face week to week. Also, not giving credit to the opposition when they deservedly/fairly beat you - even if it's down to own-team foucs and...

Anyway no hard feelings mate. I respect your opinion and you tried to back it up. Just feel comments like top 20 ever and on Pele and Maradona's level are mental.

The decline of Milan - one of the top five clubs in the world and likely the best club side of the last 40 years outside Pep's Barca - is one of the biggest stories of football in the 2010s onwards. It mirrors Serie A's decline as the best league in the world (though still very good). Only Inter...

He does (although he was a disaster in his later Arsenal years), but he's obviously biased cos Henry played for him. Either way, Henry being on the same level as Pele and Maradona is a braindead comment, even if Einstein said it. It's extremely disrespectful to Maradona and Pele. It's like...

That's obviously bias from Wenger. I mean on the same level as Pele and Maradona is absolutely insane. Is this how ridiculous this convo is getting? Legit claims that Henry was on the same level as two of the best three players of all time? No different to Martin O Neill talking up Ashley Young...

Lol Tbh you are a good guy but I just cannot buy Henry being a top 20 player of all time. Maybe it's because I have watched/read a lot about the history of the game, and was watching his peers at his peak, but he never seemed anywhere near that level.

Lol I have seen that list before - it puts him above the likes of Zidane, Ronaldinho, Xavi, Iniesta, which discredits his placing immediately. it's an insane list, has been commented on as such by others, and is clearly motivated by the fact Henry works on American football TV. Saying he is top...

Even if you dispute some of those names, tell me which of these players he's OBJECTIVELY better than... Pele, Maradona, Messi, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Zidane, Best, Garrincha, Ronaldo 9, Ronaldo 7, Muller, Van Basten, Platini, Zico, Puskas, Di Stefano, Ronaldinho, Romario, Maldini, Michael...

Lol this is what I am talking about. He is most definitely NOT top 20 player of all time. You will never ever find a reputable publication putting him that high in all-time great lists. I don't think you realise how many geniuses or amazing players there are in the history of the game. And...

Yeah he's not the absolute cream of players (as I said above), but he works very well as a talented supplementary player when there's a bonafide superstar in the team. He's a very good winger.

You're either playing with me or misread what I have written. I have gone to great pains to say he was brilliant and I rated him very highly, arguably the best PL performer of all time. However, people are saying it's a joke Nedved won BDO over him (disrespecting Nedved), acting like France...

I did have something long typed up countering this, but can't really be bothered debating it. I don't wanna criticise Henry when I rate him very highly. It's just he was brilliant, but other players were even more brilliant. ------------------------------------ I really don't want it to seem...

Yes, I know the feeling mate. I was 27 in summer 2009 and will be 58 in summer 2040, lol. Time passes quicker as we age because a year is such a smaller percentage of our lives as we accumulate more of them. Perception of time.

Summer 2040 is 15 and a half years away - and Yamal will still only be 33 that summer. Let that sink in. Nearly 16 years and still 'only' 6 months older than Salah is now. Not making any predictions on how long he will or won't play, just pointing out how incredibly young he is. For...

It was in the Bernabeu in 1982, so likely be there again. I can't imagine Portugal (no stadium big enough anyway) or Morocco hosting the final over Spain - Spain is the flagship country for the tournament, same as USA is in 2026.

Yes, that is why i don't really like Ugarte and am not convinced about him. But we'll see, will give the lad a chance and see if he proves me wrong. Time will tell. I get your point but Fernandes doesn't control games either really - he gives the ball away as much as Casemiro if not more, he's...

It's like asking whether I prefer lasagne or pasta bolognese. Love both.
