10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Now now guys, you haven't been listening. If Messi had shuffled around sideways a bit more while being covered by 4 players they would've won this game :coffee: -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Jamdav will never admit anything that undermines his beloved Cristiano. He's a far more ardent defender of him than even most Madrid fans -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Pepe was better, Nani was better, hell even fucking Renato Sanches was playing better more consistently. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
They shouldn't have even been near it. Took a complete precedent change in the rules allowing Portugal to qualify despite being behind frigging Iceland and Hungary. Ronaldo wasn't even Portugal's best player in that tournament, arguably not even top 3. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Formation was completely different by that point, and Messi got a lot more involved once those changes were made as well. Mostly because, as always, he dropped to the halfway line and tried to create everything from scratch. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
If it's all about off the ball movement and making yourself open, then how come Aguero had 7 touches in the entire first half??? Argentina's midfield couldn't move the ball at all. Completely incapable of penetrating. Messi was bad today, but if he didn't go 1 man army from the midfield line... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Masche was pretty much incapable of playing passes through the midfield line to an open Messi. Don't see how Messi 'moving around more' would've done anything. If it isn't Messi creating from the DM position, they take several passes and a lot of time just to progress the ball like 20m. The... -

10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Lel, I didn't see anyone talking shit when Portugal drew Iceland 1-1 in the Euro opener and Ronaldo was even worse. Don't act like Ronaldo gets scrutinized to even near the same level as Messi. The idea that Ronaldo is the "big game god" and Messi is a "big game choker" comes entirely from the... -
World Cup 2018
I think Nigeria is definitely their most favorable matchup. Iceland in tournaments are so constricted defensively. Croatia will be a tough one though. If Biglia starts, they will get utterly massacred by Modric and co. in midfield. Count on it. Dude is rubbish and still manages to get starts... -
World Cup 2018
Iceland were anything but mediocre today. Closed down at the back as well as any defensive side I've ever seen. Very disciplined performance, lots of hustle. Argentina should've done better, and by god Sampaoli's lineup is fucking terrible. Biglia?? Di Maria?? No business playing for the NT. If... -

He didn't in the Euro 2016.... Portugal vs Iceland opener? 1-1 -

Lol 1 game changes the last 4 years entirely now does it? I don't even like assist totals as a stat regardless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgCC9bfyhAs Watch all of Ronaldo's "great CL assists" and tell me he's up there with the best playmakers in the CL for the past 7 years then lol...- DonAndres

Ehhh check again. He didn't lead RM in assists in either 09/10, 10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 13/14, 16/17, or 17/18. 1 season where he was the highest for RM. Either way, I'd say if you're gonna call one a poacher then you have to with the other. Ronaldo's entire game these days relies on hanging off...- DonAndres

And Ronaldo could never lead a league in assists for a season the way Gerd Muller did- DonAndres

It's not that huge, Ronaldo is arguably top 5 all time. But he's not on the same tier as Leo or Maradona. And if you think football fans understand nuance these days you're kidding yourself. Go on twitter or any social media and see the kinds of low effort memes and goal tally stats that get...- DonAndres

Only because fans these days lack IQ and act like the game is played only on paper. With this type of logic, how is Maradona considered better than Gerd Muller? The latter scored an enormous amount of more goals, won more trophies, scored the winner in a WC final, won the European cup several...- DonAndres

World Cup 2018
De Gea looking very shaky out there. Not confident. -
World Cup 2018
They had superb technical play in and around the box right before that 3rd goal. They've been killing it in terms of skilled plays, even just now. -
World Cup 2018
Ramos has been amazing, covering for Pique so hard. Far superior player these past years.
