    Has Player Quality Declined?

    Thank you for your expert virtual psychoanalysis. Now focus in simple things like the fact that Spaniards have a football tradition that focuses on technical superiority, that is the way they learn the game since childhood. Same as Argentinians.

    Asians are more developed === they should totally dominate football. That's a non sequitur if I ever heard one.

    8 - Pedri

    Olmo was crap initially, being super selfish due to trying to prove his worth. Once calmer, he easily outperformed Pedri in all aspects.

    I am not sure what or who you are responding to but I will address some things. Black vs white vs any has no scientific evidence of any advantage or disadvantage in specific sports. If more black players get recognised nowadays its because more get the chance to do so. Secondly, intensity is...

    Has Player Quality Declined?

    It could be any game of that era if that's the issue. About kids from the future watching back 2022 wc final and think is a fluke, we can't really know. But we do know watching a 2012 El Classico will probably be better than anything "current". There is an objective truth to how the game has...

    I guess nobody spent the time actually seeing the game I attached some posts ago. Nostalgia is hard to beat. We Remember everything much better than it actually was.

    Do we have have @Fati_Future_BallonDor on suicide watch... Mever seen a person trying to act so cool, lighthearted, "just joking" and all that, but actually on serious emotional and even physical pain when Ronaldo loses and Messi wins. Poor lad, its going to be hard but he will come back...

    Euro 2024

    They have been dogshit this tournament. Mbappe also hasn't showed up at all. I fancy Portugals midfield to be the controlling one and france then might be better off countering.

    Is there any chance we sell? Just so Flick doesn't get any weird ideas of using him or whatever.
