Forlan is one example. They were starting to come back a bit by 2002, but Suarez and others made the change really happen. It doesn't change the fact that Suarez was arguably Uruguay's best player in 2010 WC and 2011 Copa America. You're still maintaining I said it's just population when I have...

Same point goes for Messi and Ronaldo against PL teams yet you're always defending Ronaldo and insulting Messi. 'Lewandowski has won Bundesligas without Bayern and Bayern have performed worse in the Bundesliga immediately after Lewandowski left.' Sheer coincidence for the latter part. They've...

It doesn't matter about their history. They had been in the doldrums for years. He did have good team-mates but he was playing well for Uruguay before several of them arrived on the scene. Honestly, you debate in such bad faith, making extreme straw man points - Poland are a country with a...

I never said goalscoring wasn't important - but there's a lot more to being a footballer than being a goalscorer. I know this because I actually play football myself and see poor players poaching and getting goals. Different positions, but would you say Haaland is better at football than...

Come on mate - criticising Atletico's titles as having lesser competition when your man racked up the titles in the Bayernliga. This is just sheer bias at this point.

Tell me why a narrow parameter/criterion ;=like 'away goals in the CL post 2016' makes all the difference to you? As someone else noted, Uruguay had declined hugely over a lot of decades - Suarez and other players got them back near the top of the game. Uruguay is a smaller country than Poland...

I don't remember many great individual performances from Lewa other than the ones I mentioned. 'Numbers' - likely a lot of stat-padding in the group stage, That's not the point I am making. You have oversimplified my point. My point is Lewa's entire game revolves around scoring. If he doesn't...

Lewa will always score goals, even when not playing well, he's a goalscorer, like Kane and Haaland. However, Suarez is clearly the better footballer (though Lewa is an excellent footballer in his own right) and has more magic and creativity.

Lewa was at Bayern 8 years, and his team got bounced by Real Madrid, Liverpool, PSG, Atletico, even Villarreal. Now my memory is hazy so he may have been injured for one or two of these ties, but still... You are talking about him like he is unstoppable when he plays in the CL...

I don't think anyone dreams about Messi's dick. Few people even thinks he's good looking really. If you mean they love him as a guy because he's a great footballer, that is something I don't involve myself in. He has a lot of flaws as a person.

What's Lewa done in the CL exactly? Other than all the goals against RM at Dortmund and the 2020 (COVID) trophy? Other than that I don't remember him doing much? Sure he racks up stats like a flat-track bully but still. Give me examples of his excellent performances in the competition. And it...

Not the point I was making and disingenuous comment. The point is Lewa - like Suarez - has been poor in lots of big CL games. Trying to exonerate him while demonising Suarez is fanboy behaviour. I am not trying to defend Suarez but you guys are Lewa.

Messi is the best player ever though (with Maradona) so it's normal to drool over him as a footballer. This is a serious false equivalence - Lewa absolutely should NOT draw the same sort of admiration as a footballer than Messi should - Messi is in a completely different stratosphere.

Lewa has been bollocks in loads of CL games too. It's just ridiculous to act like Lewa is a level or two above Suarez like some of you are doing. Absolute fanboy behaviour. You even think he's better than R9 which is...well....there's no word for it.

It's bizarre. These people are talking like Lewa is one of the greatest players of all time and the categorically best striker of all time. Usually these kind of fanboys are reserved for the top 10-20 players of all time, not someone like fucking Robert Lewandowski, lol. He has so many more...

Yes, because football is solely about goalscoring. I swear some on here don't listen. And Lewa has won one CL, he's hardly a CL superstar. Suarez is a better footballer than Lewa, regardless of goalscoring. If you think it's laughable to rate him over Lewa then you're overrating Lewa and...

Amazing goal, love dribbling goals. Lol at the number 2 full-back with his hands in the air asking for the ball when he starts dribbling. Probably felt daft a few seconds later when the ball was in the net lol. edit; that is from February, Still a brilliant goal.

@Horatio @Temptation @Fati_Future_BallonDor @KingLeo10 @Alik Got an exact for Lecce-Empoli (1-1) :) And a close for Union Berlin-Freiburg (predicted 1-1, finished 0-0) Got Rayo and Marseille wrong in upsets, but a nice enough start to the weekend's predicting.

Marseille losing 3-1 at home to Auxerre :facepalm:

Rayo were backed by 86 percent of people on Superbru tonight, including me. I wasn't entirely sure but meh.
