Think it's just the pic. Nice smile here. More pics of 12 - very beautiful...

I feel bad saying that. She's doubtless a great girl, and to be fair I bet she's very pretty in person. It's probably just the angle of the pic.

Numbers 23 and 12 are my favourite faces in that photo. They're all quite cute though. Number 11 looks a bit like Mesut Ozil but maybe just the photo.

First goal was a penalty too, which I believe he dived for. Free-kick was beautiful. It's been 6 years now so will take your word for it on his general play. I think you know deep down though that a comment like 'top 3 international performance ever' is silly though, even without the context of...

True, I didn't really follow La Liga last season, was just making a general comment. That's true as well - Xavi was all over the place, so if Flick can do the right things and instill some confidence and some good mentality, then Barca can win the league. You're entirely right that leagues...

Yeah Barca style dominates leagues whereas RM 'moments' style is good for hanging on in knockout games. Whether that's true of these squads still I am not sure. But it's been a general rule in the last two decades. If I was betting my house I'd still say Real Madrid will win La Liga, but I...

Amad looks talented and always has to me. Still, they're getting carried away again and hyping him up like he's gonna be a superstar. But I would say to his credit that he looks their most composed and technically gifted attacker (and a diver), though I need to see more of Zirkzee too. His goal...

He's looked a good talent when I have seen him - which is admittedly not much. He has a lot of energy, seems a decent link-up player and can burst into the box to score. Whether he's good enough long-term for Barca (especially as you have plenty of players in his position) I have no idea as...

Very good post but especially the bold. Players have peaks and troughs and circumstances matter greatly. Players from the big western European nations for example will always have great advantages in terms of facilities, coming through their home league etc. Players from Eastern Europe...

I wouldn't really call Ronaldo feminine. He looks like a grown man, he doesn't look particularly young or boyish, he's just very metrosexual in his behaviour and actively goes out of his way to look flamboyant with his clothing. He could very easily position himself as masculine if he wanted...

I was talking about that yesterday. Obviously it's a good thing that women have better lives now, but they just wanna exploit and abuse the power they have now. Like the American NT asking for parity with wages with the men. It's important that everyone is treated well and respected, but we...

I thought that Dressel was gonna miss out on the top sixteen in the men's 50 m heats there, but he made it I think. Australia were immense in the women's 4 times 200 m freestyle relay heats, they are the favourites and should win gold, but one of the takeovers was extremely close to a...

I have liked Hincapie since I first seen him play. Real quality player who can play LB or CB. He could have a brilliant career.

You'll get there mate :) On topic - more swimming this morning, heats coming up in an hour or two. I will watch them while doing some work from home on my computer. I am gonna miss the swimming when it ends at the weekend, but then the athletics will start. I think I prefer swimming to track...

Is that what you tell the ladies when they ask you to wear a condom?

I am not so sure this one was quite as deserved (don't get mad at me lol). He was brilliant in 2 games though that i watched, not sure about the rest. It's natural though, he's old, and to be fair I can't think of anyone who was better out on the wide right (his 'placing' in the best XI) for...

Just realised that post comes across a bit wankery. My apologies Tyler - you're likely a good guy. I just totally disagree and wanted to explain why. But I could have been a bit less dicky about it. Sorry mate. Overall, It's really an ideological preference. Gerrard's game is far too weighted...

I've picked out your worst comment about Gerrard (and there were a few). He was sometimes excellent when he played as an attacking midfielder (by a mile his best season was in 08-09 behind Torres and in front of Masch and Alonso). He was sometimes good as a RW. He was a positional liability as...

1-0 down against Betis then 'Amad' dives for a penalty, now 3-1 up. Cheating in pre-season - some things never change with this lot.

Firstly, despite me being prickly, you have made some good points that I do acknowledge, and I respect the effort you have gone to to argue your case. It isn't anything personal this debate, I hope I haven't come across as overly abrasive. I just feel you're getting a little carried away with...
