They're gold, technically. Just being a pedant, lol. But yeah. I always liked Brazil's kit because I think yellow and blue is a stunning colour combination. I also like Fiorentina's all purple kit.

Nice kits them have always thought. Pink and yellow are lovely colours.

Barca essentially are gonna win the World Cup - like in 2010.

Yeah exactly, it was a precious time. Lots of people out in the fresh air and constantly active, less weight problems and less depression. This is now tying into my discussion of the world probably being worse since the internet and new information technologies have been invented or become...

Yeah me too, I played on the streets a lot - now kids have access to 4G pitches etc. I play on them now too but obviously not as a boy (I was born in 1982, think you said you are 1971). It was a wonderful time back then, when the streets were safer, less opportunity to play video games, far less...

Criminal that he didn't get the pass there.

Yes true. I guess I am working on a hypothetical idea that they were exactly the same in talent, but born in the 90s or 2000s. There's so many variables (not just genetics) though that make it impossible to answer - maybe if they had been born in today's era they wouldn't have played in the...

Yes all that is true. Like I say, it's always the fitness and organisation aspect that would need to be brought up to speed, and adapting to modern tactics etc. After that, the players' natural talent does the rest. To reiterate, many players born in the 30s, 40s and 50s were more talented than...

Is that a wind up? Ballon d'or boots, 5 hour TV shows, parties. All over a politicised individual award. I honestly think most players would rather win the BD than the World Cup. What the fuck is happening to the game?

Good night tonight. Though Roma was the least fancied result here and still as high as 65 percent, so a more predictable evening in general. I thought Lazio would win but definitely didn't see this hammering coming. In my main mini-league for Serie A there are about 186 players. The top scorer...

Born in 88. He just looks like it was 1888, not 1988.

Yes that is the obvious caveat - these players would have access to today's training methods and nutrition or sports science to enable them to be sufficiently fit for the era. After that, their natural talent does the rest. Like you say, it's impossible to compare across time and space.

I once seen someone say Pele would be lucky to make Norwich's bench. I know they were being serious too. I have heard other mad stuff, like Pele would be Grealish level now at best (I do rate Grealish, but come on...) Never underestimate young people's disrespect and cluelessness of the...

Fior won 1-0 in the end, late goal from Gosens. How did they play? They're doing well this season - always liked them because of Batistuta, and because my old 5/7 a side football team I played for used to wear an all purple kit.

He's always been one of my favourites. One of the best players of his generation, and I was stunned when Real Madrid sold him.

Magical finish that.

Had to google Scherbatsky.

Yeah these people don't have any qualifications to talk like this, as far as I am aware. It's fine having an opinion but they talk like they're the oracle. Then again, we give our opinions on here and we are in the same boat. Maybe I'm being too harsh. As others have said, fans can be smarter...

I've gone Genoa 1-3 Fiorentina, Como 0-2 Lazio (unsure most of this one) and Roma 2-0 Torino tonight. I am backing the favourites again, Safe and sensible, but sometimes comes back to haunt you as it did last night. We will see how it goes.

Lol he was on the wind up. Hard to tell in written form with no emojis, though.
