    Xavi Hernández

    The big question that lingers in my mind: If he fails (no trophies, 2nd place, early CL exit), does he get the sack? Rather, should he get the sack?

    Marcos Alonso

    Ya looked a lot more defensive until the last 10 mins. No way you can compare him to Alves

    Marcos Alonso

    Completely disagree, he is more physical and wins a lot more aerial duels.

    Sergio Busquets

    The problem with this club and Spain FC is that they believe the tiki-taka barca can be replicated with him as the center piece. I know Catalans/Spaniards are a stubborn bunch but it seems like the club just refuses to adapt to 2022 and how much football has changed since then. Both Lucho and...

    Sergio Busquets

    You simply cannot compete in CL with him in the lineup. Still a good player, but just not up to the CL physical standards

    Jordi Alba

    I hope he doesn't start.

    Spain, UK, Italy, Germany, many footballers who have connected parents and/or rich parents, but ya France is from all socio-economic levels.

    Tennis

    I believe Djokovic's dad was a pro skier. TBF there is an advantage to many sports for being rich. A lot of European footballers come from well off families (their parents are rich, their parents have some connection to FIFA/UEFA). It's not a tennis thing.

    Serena and Venus grew up in Compton and their family was very blue collar. They are the exception yes but it's not so exclusively rich.

    Aren't all of them Madridistas? Which of them is a Barca fan?

    Tennis

    That's true regarding the older era, but in this day of social media, can players stay as disciplined as the big 3 when it comes to diet, training, mental training? The lengths that players like Nadal have gone to keep themselves at absolute best shape are insane and an underrated part of their...

    Tennis

    Even 10 is a lot mate. The big 3 has really hazed the memory of tennis fans. Having 4-5 GS wins was considered a massive success for a tennis player before Federer. There is so many factors in winning 10 slams, here is just a few: Physical health, mental fortitude, clutchness (facing match...

    Tennis

    Good tennis from Alcaraz. His 1-2 with serve and forehand winner reminds me of Federer at times, and his mental game sometimes reminds me of Djokovic. Only time will tell if he will stay consistent like the big 3. I remember when people hyped up Raducanu and Fernandez in the womens game but they...

    La Liga Round 5: Cadiz - FC Barcelona 0-4

    Just want to say how much more humane Europe is compared to the USA. If someone in the crowd died during an NFL or MLB game, the game would still go on because the only thing that matters in this country is profit/capitalism

    Barca draws Bayern, Inter and Plzen

    In LA there are Barcelona Penya clubs where they host watch parties at specific bars. Speaking of watching in big European cities, I was in Barcelona in 2019 when they were playing Man U in quarters. I was surprised by just how many Brit fans there were in the bars. I had a bit of a hard time...

    Khachanov with the massive upset! So glad that clown Kyrgios is out. To think everyone had him as a favorite, this "young" gen (and i have it in quotes because they aren't really that young anymore) is nowhere near the quality of the big 3. Watch Djoker and healthy Nadal absolutely annihilate...
