That's a nice kit Neymar is wearing there. I like that shade of blue, and I am always partial to kits where the colours are the same in every item (eg Liverpool all-red).

So the ladies say.

I had one a few months ago but wasn't happy with that photo of Maradona and took it down. I quite like his expression and the fact he's not looking directly at the camera in this one. The goatee is a bit Jeffrey Dean Morgan though, lol.

Yeah I like him, even if he does troll. He seems fair when he isn't trolling. He gives due props to good posts.

I'd like to tell you, but not rising to your attempts to bait me. Don't think I haven't noticed it ;) I am sure you are a nice enough guy, but it does seem a bit like you're trying to wind me up at times. No offence intended. Edit: you have highlighted what I recognise myself, though. That I...

Yeah the goal against Belgium was beautiful. I love the assist in the final for the goal that made it 3-2 to win the trophy, too. The Belgians, as you correctly say, had a golden generation then and he pissed all over them.

I agree with your post fully. Btw that photo looks amazing. But I am sure I read that it is after the Belgian wall split after blocking a free-kick. It wasn't actually 6 players marking him. Though he destroyed them so they probably should have put 6 players on him at all times :lol: The...

Yes. He's a good lad. He did troll though in the Messi and Ronaldo threads and bring on some of the negativity himself lol. But in general I hope he knows it's just banter and most people don't dislike him (I don't think).

To be fair to Fati, he told me he was gonna take a break from the forum. And that was even before the Bayern game. I think he's maybe a bit bored of it all right now. Nothing wrong with taking some time away.

Just received an email with a link to this article. I am unsure where to post it but it's relevant to Messi both in terms of the debate and the article itself. I have always said it's an advantage to be shorter in football, if you are not a goalkeeper or central defender (or target man...

That's my point. It's the hardest thing to do on a team level. And sometimes the goalscorer does the thing in the move/goal with the highest degree of difficulty, sometimes he doesn't. But that idiot (good description of him) just makes a general, blanket, universal statement that 'scoring is...

Yes. Like Arrigo said, I didn't know you had to be a horse to be a jockey, or words to that effect. I had this conversation with another poster - playing football can help a lot in understanding. It has helped me. BUT that is only true if the intelligence and understanding is there at a base...

Yeah it eventually got found out a bit. Though I don't think (or remember) it being as crucial to the game plan as it seems to be for Barca, as you suggest. I might be wrong though, maybe others would know more.

Black Swan is one I still haven't seen. watched the first hour, fell asleep (not because of the film, it was great) and never watched the ending for some reason. I will remedy it soon. I bet she can play the magical instrument.

Yeah I thought that is what you meant. They look similar though Portman is prettier for me. Btw people keep mentioning Puff Daddy/Diddy/whatever his name is. I hadn't looked much into his case. Sounds like a nice guy: In late 2023, his former partner Cassie Ventura filed a multi-million dollar...

Was Keira Knightley there too? She sounds quite freaky to be honest.

Also, how do you mean based on my views on football? Do you mean because I love guys who are entertaining, amazing dribblers, shorter (like me), amazing passers, a bit insane and also have some other qualities on the park? Magic in their feet. And also because I care little for stats (eg CR...

He is - level with Messi and maybe Garrincha and R9 are close too.

Lol maybe I will go back and read it some time. Anyway thanks for the convo - I don't want it to look like I am Team Messi against Maradona. I am one of those who believes it's reasonable to prefer either such is their closeness in ability and some other factors.

True, we have never seen it that much with Messi. Yeah, don't get me wrong - I wasn't implying Maradona was a showboater. His extravagance was married with effectiveness as you suggest. Ah right, fair enough, that's an interesting analogy then even though I don't know much about OG.
