    Rafinha Alcantara

    Of course players sometimes deliberately tackle another player to stop them from advancing, and that may have been the case, but by your logic, if Messi sends a FK to the stands and you watch the replay where he hits the ball wrong, then that confirms there was never any true intent to hit the...

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    It would never work. He would either entirely disrupt the team's game or would flop hard at trying to adapt.

    Rafinha Alcantara

    Him maybe being a retard is another point. He's made more than enough horrible tackles to be banned or at least warned in some way. The fact that he continues to do those, and without consequences, means that the authorities don't care about protecting players' health, and they should be blamed.

    Rafinha Alcantara

    Chill the fuck out. You're really behaving like children. He is an aggressive, careless, dirty player, but that doesn't mean he has the intention of hurting another human being. The people who are to blame for this and who you should be screaming at are those who don't punish him and ban him for...

    Rafinha Alcantara

    Horrible news. I feel so bad for Rafinha, these few months until January were going to be the most important for his future. Also, I don't mean this as an insult to Rafinha, but when things like this happen, I can't help but think - that very easily could have been Messi. Both unlucky, yes...

    Luis Enrique

    Why are people commenting on this as if the club and/or coach purposely failed to prepare for situations like this? As if they are too thick to see we lack depth? Xavi left, Pedro left and and we had a transfer ban. Preparing for this was not an option. The only thing we could have done is call...

    Rafinha Alcantara

    This reminded of the time in December 2012 when Messi was taken out on a stretcher after a collision with the opposition goalkeeper, and ended up being back for the next game. Let's hope it's something like that.

    Rafinha Alcantara

    This is horrible for him, and for the squad. He was our first choice backup for both midfield and winger spots.

    Sergi Roberto

    He wasn't that invisible in offense, but it isn't a problem anyway. Alba was bombing forward quite a lot, it's good to have balance.

    Rafinha Alcantara

    Nice! You rarely see that these days.

    New Kits Thread

    I don't see the problem. Do you expect the manufacturer to design several kits for each of the teams they sponsor and have each of those completely unique? It's perfectly normal to have several teams using the same design pattern with different colors. That's just the way it works, and has been...

    Xavi Hernández

    Luckily for MLS, they got Pirlo.

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    I don't remember anyone claiming he is the best or that there is no one better than him. We're reacting to people calling him "shit" and "bad" at free kicks, which he is not.

    Mateo Kovačić

    Not in terms of touch, but in terms of his role on the pitch.

    Sergi Roberto

    Just a few months ago most people were unsure whether Vidal is good enough for us, and now, 0 games later, many are talking about him as if he's proven to be good for us. What did I miss?

    Daniel Alves

    He basically plays as a wingback anyway. What you're suggesting would only mean even less defensive contribution, which I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem with.

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    You named him among your top FK takers. And please, do say, how many free kicks did he take at RM last season? Was it one or two? I'm not saying that he's not a good FK taker, but if you're willing to use stats, maybe you should take into account that the sample size you're using to show how...

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    So your ranking of James as a top FK taker is based on one season, in which he took... how many FKs?

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    Question for Maxy: did you follow James at Monaco and Porto?

    Daniel Alves

    Eh, you might be right. We'll see. By the way, do you guys think Enrique would have tried Roberto at RB if Montoya and/or Douglas were available?
