    David De Gea

    No I've always felt Casillas was overhyped, not just now that he's declined. I saw him make great reflex saves and be hailed for them, but that buried all the mistakes and goals he let pass. Problem is now his reflexes are gone, and you notice more all the mistakes he makes. Casillas has also...

    David De Gea

    I think he is. I've watched him from his Atletico days to the time he joined ManU until now, and while I think he's overhyped, I still think he's a good keeper, in fact a very good keeper, but he's caught on some that English hype and right now I think him to be overrated. I disagree about...

    Mateo Kovačić

    Btw I like what I've seen from Kovacic in this Inter-Juve game. He is playing some excellent midfield. Composure and very good accurate forward passes. He's looking like Luka Modric in this game.

    Mateo Kovačić

    Yes that's what I mean, he is unequal to his hype. Very good young midfielder, but very much overhyped still. I agree about Gundogan, just saying when he was healthy and playing at his best, he was underrated. Only IMO Verratti is worth the hype. He is bar non the best young...

    Mateo Kovačić

    I think only Pogba is unequal to his hype. Verratti is as good as touted and Gundogan before his injury was actually underrated. Can't speak on Kovacic as i haven't see much of him, but I also haven't seen that much hype surrounding him.

    Mateo Kovačić

    I haven't seen much from him, but in this game he is playing very well in a reserved CM role. He's composed and calm on the ball, and has shown some quick vision with his forward passing.

    Mateo Kovačić

    He's playing well. Inter playing mostly through the opposite side though, the right side, and Shakiri is fucking up almost everything.

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    And then some. I saw the actual video from them. The voice-over they game the supposed words by Ramos had me cracking up.

    Basketball/NBA

    Warriors are very good. They might have a game where they struggle with their jumpers, but you're not going to hold them down for an entire series, it's impossible. And as opposed to other years, this Warriors team is not only an excellent passing team, but it is also a very very good...

    Penal Madrid

    Nah man. Valdes was awesome his last season for Barca and everyone wanted him to stay. He was the one that had decided to look for new challenges elsewhere. Then he got that unfortunate injury.

    David De Gea

    People making too much of a big deal out of this. IMO De Gea is an overrated keeper. He's a good keeper, don't get me wrong, but he reminds me a lot of Casillas in his best days. Capable of the great reaction save, but then allows a goal he should have maybe saved, and just like Casillas...

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    And he's never made that excuse, at least not that I'm aware, which is the funny thing. This entire knee thing is media driven, Madrid media mostly. That's not to say there couldn't possibly be an actual knee issue with him, it could very well be so. I just don't buy that's the reason he...

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    Nah, hamstring injuries don't really have long lasting debilitating effects, they only carry re-injury risks if not fully healed or scar tissue isn't properly treated to remove. Only bone, ligament, cartilage and tendons have debilitating effects. Messi lost some agility because he's not 22...

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    That's his agility, which is a product of aging. Messi's lost some of that as well. Cristiano's power is still largely there in his speed and push-off power of his jumps. That doesn't suggest debilitating knee issue, just normal aging.

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    I don't mind the play and certainly not criticizing Neymar. Play didn't work out, it happens. All we're doing here is speculating really, what should have or could have happened to make the play work. I've always said I'd rather players fail being unselfish, than fail being selfish.

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    Why, you think Cristiano is slower sprinting and cannot jump as powerfully as he used to? I don't see that. I think his decline is purely in the agility department, due to aging, just like Messi's.

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    Because I don't see any noticeable physical decline in his play aside that of natural aging, like agility. If he had a degrading knee condition you'd see it reflected in his sprinting speed and specially in his lift-off power when he jumps for headers. Instead what I see is a player who is...

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    I don't buy the knee issues. That's just Madrid media excuse-making. They never bring up the knee when he's scoring, it's only on failures they talk about it. Cristiano on the field doesn't look like someone who has knee issues.

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    Messi holds his run, and doing so keeps the second defender on himself. It's only until Neymar beats his defender that the second one sprints to him opening Messi. Neymar needed to pass the ball then and there. Instead he took an extra touch, a touch that was also a tad heavy and pushed the...
