He's a prima donna isn't he.

The first miss was especially pathetic. He just has to set it out a little wider with so much of that side of the goal to aim at, and then lift it so the outstretched leg cannot save it. It's an easy finish for a professional player in the Premier League. The one with Walker is closed down well...

Good to see him doing well. Keep it up, Rab.

The older ones must be on some magic beans or some heavy propecia to have such good heads of hair in their thirties, given their father. Then again, I am sure baldness comes from the mother's side doesn't it?

I know those are all-time results, but plenty came recently as well. They tend to do not bad sometimes in big games (sometimes they get hammered) because of a tactical quirk - they're a counter-attacking and pace club that thrive on space. That's them through and through. Better teams play more...

Is he injured that much? He seems to play a lot for them dating back to 2018. He's been out at times but I don't remember him being out often. Either way, great goalkeeper. Prefer him to Ederson.

Good post, especially bolded. They play so many games that even guys like Lukaku and others have scored more goals at international level (or will) than lads like Pele or G Muller. The separation of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union into much smaller states (many of which are poor quality teams...

Some of those twists and turns are brilliant for his age. Good lad.

Amongst other things, he's the dribble master. I love dribbling, it's the most exciting thing in football, Maybe I am biased towards it too because I am diminutive and a very good dribbler myself (at my infinitely lower level). I just love watching dribblers - whether it's economical dribblers...

I honestly cannot understand it. I know some smart guys do it and they do it with the caveat that Maradona had far less longevity and fucked his career a lot. However, surely anyone can see he was in a completely different stratosphere of talent? Maradona was an alien, as talented as Messi...

Agree with plenty of that other than me not thinking that 'longevity and career' is enough to leapfrog so many players that he ends up in the big four. Other players (than the big three) have too much of a talent advantage for him to override. I'd say 7th or 8th is fair based on his level of...

6 then. To be honest i was just saying 7 to appease Rassvet and not go too far the other way. Tbh I think he's just a slightly above average playmaker in prime, and that he made a lot of technical mistakes. But his fans get angry if you say anything negative about him.

Says a lot about how dumb Ronaldo is and his mindset that he equates quality of player with 'goals and trophies'. What a dumb Portuguese guido.

He is underrated as a playmaker (in his prime) in that he was good at it, say a 7/10. The issue is he's being compared to all-time great 9.5/10 level playmakers. Other than that though, just wanted to say that assists have little correlation with playmaking ability - most forwards have more...

Brasil beat Argentina 2-1 in the final. I had something to do though so could only watch the celebrations.

Final is Brazil-Argentina. Sunday 4 pm UK time.

He's poor, isn't he? Their fans were calling him better than van Dijk and Dias before he'd kicked a ball for them...

Like I said before - his surname sounds like the name of an antagonist from Lord of the Rings. No surprise people call him Samu.

Also the commentator said that since ETH took over, United have conceded three goals or more 24 times. That is frankly an unreal stat.

The guy looks really good, haven't really seen him before. It wasn't just the goals (both fired into the roof of the net...impressive), his hold up play and strength with his back to goal was generally good too. Very quick too. He had to go off as he was fucked with injury or tiredness but...
