I was an occasional lurker before I was a poster.

I mean Fati isn't a bad guy at all, and neither is Rassvet really, but Rassvet trolls and tries to wind people up with his posts. Two years ago he was a Messi fan and now he 'claims' to be a Ronaldo fan. At least Fati made some honest, balanced posts at times. Temp, as I said, is way too...

Great to see some love for Zico as a footballer. Very very underrated in the all-time debate.

Dembele took the piss with his dribbling against the Portuguese, poor shooting though. I know he's inconsistent but he's always been a sight to behold when he's on his game.

How beautiful a story would that be though? For Yamal to make history as the youngest ever scorer at the European Championship, and with the winning goal in the final. Only way it could be better is if it comes in the 90th minute at 3-3 after a thriller. And it's a Messi against Getafe type...

Correct.

Fair enough mate - you make some good points. You also seem to have a soft spot for United/Ten Hag whereas I hate United and don't rate Ten Hag, so we are both a little biased. Just a couple of things to point out - I reckon Onana is very overrated with the ball at his feet. I watched most Man...

I'd rather see France win the tournament playing poor football than see Ronaldo win anything. And it's not like Portugal were good themselves.

One thing I am thankful for is that the dreaded Portugal v England final is no longer a possibility. Would I have rooted for Ronaldo or the England team? Horrible thought. I hate Ronaldo so much I think I'd have had to go with England. Of course once Ronaldo retires I don't care if Portugal...

We'll see on RVN. But he should help their strikers a bit. You can't turn shite into gold, though. I will tell you what Man United's real problem as a club is, football-wise - it's not the organisation, or the boardroom, or anything like that (though it's linked to the following). Their real...

They're clueless, and have been for years. These INEOS chancers are another in the long list of potential failures (as well as their main man being a horrible Brexiteer Tory who pumps poison into the atmosphere and steps on others). They haven't exactly done much at Nice, have they? I rate...

Read this online, sums up my feelings on De Ligt. Yes, he's much younger, but he's another bigger club's cast off like Casemiro and Varane were. Ultimately if he were that good he'd be in the Bayern team, wouldn't he? I don't get how people think it's a good thing signing someone who isn't even...

I don't rate either of them, especially not De Ligt. Nobody else seems to want him (maybe wages and fee) and Bayern can't wait to get rid of him, it's hardly an endorsement. He never impresses me when I watch him either - he's very much someone whose reputation is far bigger than his actual...

Good videos. Lol at Ronaldo's long as fuck neck - he does look like a giraffe with that comically long neck in real life.

Yeah a big shame. He started well at Liverpool, but like you say couldn't sustain it for long with the energy Liverpool play at. He had a good career, but still another in the very long list of 'what might have beens' in football.

Is he injury prone, or is it because he was so overplayed when young and still growing, and now he cannot cope and his body is paying the price? Still a real shame to see this continue to happen to a very talented player.

Bellingham being shorter than the likes of Xhaka, Gakpo and Ruiz sums up the insane hype around him. Mbappe shouldn't even be on the list. I assume they're there as they're still active in the tournament so could do something big in the semis and/or final.

I'm still conflicted. Past players did seem much more talented. However, the game is more coordinated now and there's less space generally due to the high-press - you generally have to earn your right to find space in the game now. It sounds like sacrilege but was it a big advantage for players...

I think the thing about Beckham is he was never as great as his fanboys think, but hardcore football fans underrate him too by thinking he was just a celebrity. He's an attention-seeking imbecile, but as you say he was a very good player with a great right foot (though he tried to showcase that...

Destroyed by injuries. It's a shame - he was a very talented individual when coming through at Barcelona. He won a lot at Bayern but he never became the dominating midfielder he was tipped to be. Truth be told, he might have been a little overrated in the young days, but he was definitely killed...
