    Fernando Torres

    Apparently, the crowd at the LFC Charity game finally sang his song again. Story book ending for that chapter of his life.

    Eden Hazard

    Are you a Hazard hater or just biased against everyone not playing for FCB? :lol: He's been doing this for 1.5 seasons now. Granted he's not CR7 level, not even Neymar, but he's one of the few players who can grab the game by the neck and dictate the ending.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Again, only true for the citizens and players of the 6-8 countries that routinely make up the last 4 teams of the WC. How about how the rest of the world feels, then? Isn't football the global game? Do you think Zlatan cries himself to sleep knowing he'll never lift a WC? Eto'o? Platini? Their...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    How can it be the greatest prize when not everyone has a fair chance of winning, even competing for, it? Obviously you're Brazilian :lol:

    Fernandinho

    Every thread should start with a Messi nutmeg gif :lol:

    Diego Simeone

    I hope he stays there for life. Best manager & club combo since Pep & FCB. Plus this means that he has faith in Atletico's set up and vision moving forward. Maybe they'll stop being a selling club after the Chinese guy bought out their debt? In any case, Forza Cholo! Aupa Atleti!

    Diego Simeone

    It is a derby after all.

    Juan Manuel Mata

    They are fine without them right now, but this is playing out like a typical trajectory of a Mourinho team. Decent-to-great first year, great second year, cracks start to show in the third year, then he bails out after he ran the team to the ground :lol: Can't agree with this any more. I don't...

    Eden Hazard

    James doesn't have the ability to decide games on a regular basis like Ronaldo and Hazard His goals are beautiful though :worthy:

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    I think it's a generational thing. The players with this mindset grew up in an age where most football matches can only be seen either live, on tape, or on delayed telecast. Even the Champions League back then was an after thought. In a way, I can't really blame them but like I said it is...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    I disagree with the notion that the WC is the greatest trophy in all of football. For starters, you have to be born in the right country to even have the chance of playing in it. Should the next Messi be born in, for example, the Philippines, there would be no chance of him ever coming close to...

    Joan Laporta

    Assuming Lucho wins the treble, who can realistically take over a team with insane expectations AND a transfer ban? Low perhaps? Maybe Ancellotti if he and Perez fall out dramatically?

    Eden Hazard

    Replacement as in poster boy, face of the team, most marketable player. Obviously he's very good on the pitch as well. Not a like-for-like replacement per se.

    Eden Hazard

    One thing you have going for you is that he's not South American or Iberian. There's a tiny chance he'll tell RM to fuck off :lol:

    Juan Manuel Mata

    You have to admit though that it's looking more and more like a mistake. The money probably went to funding the Costa/Fabregas transfers, which benefited you of course, but you have to question his favoritism on Oscar. He's more mobile, which is a trait Mou values, but his end product is...

    Chelsea

    Wonder if RM will be willing to "settle" for him if they fail to get De Gea. Cech probably has 2-3 more years at a high level, that's good enough while they wait for the next big GK or bid 100m on De Gea/Neuer :lol:

    Gareth Bale

    United's standout players from this year, barring Blind who's been a bargain, were all players they had before last Summer. Rooney, Mata, Felli, Young and especially Carrick. I think they were too focused on making a statement with the Galactico signings. They probably won't go back to the...

    Premier League 2014/15

    Whoever makes this should be given a legit TV deal :worthy: Always looking forward to his new episodes. Delivers every time, and I'm not even a Liverpool hater (Suarez fan in fact).

    Manchester United

    With Januzaj thrown randomly in :lol: Seriously though, is there any player in Europe's Top 5 leagues more under appreciated (by opposing fans) than Carrick? Arguably the key to them sustaining their success post-Ronaldo, and he's not showing signs of slowing down.

    Michel Platini re-elected as UEFA president

    No problems with Platini. Not perfect, but he's not bad either.
