    World Cup 2022

    Brazil lost to Croatia mate and they beat them in a final a season ago. Portugal and Spain lost to maroco, Japan... Germany didn't even advance from groups but is somehow better than Croatia. Using arbitrary teams as a benchmark screams of bias. No one saying Argentina is one of the best in WC...

    Josko Gvardiol

    The best defender during the tournament got skinned by 35yo dude. Should not feel bad. Legendary defenders had the same fate in the past. He was on Messi's back every time a pass went his way. He did that good not letting him turn towards goal and create but Messi just passed back and the pass...

    Ángel Di María

    Di Maria to score in the final.

    World Cup 2022

    For Birdy, for Argentina to be worth, they should play and beat every single team in a knockout tournament, or it's an easy path. These standards of course don't apply for any other team. I wonder why? Could it be the anti-Messi bias, the deep desire that they would be better without him? (every...

    World Cup 2022

    Surely a deserved win for Argentina. As I said before, even the round of 16 was played, if they meet the result will be different than 2018. Argentina is a better team than 2018 (couldn't be worse) and Croatia is worse. Penalty was clear but even without it Argentina took the game where they...

    World Cup 2022

    We are not going to agree, it's ok. But, building a team, spending a shitload of money in the process, just to be able to progress from the groups of cl, should not take more than a year in any universe.

    World Cup 2022

    You avoid an elephant in the room here. Post Messi Barca, with a seriously younger and refreshes squad, players like Pedri and Gavi popping up, Dembele being in the best form since having 2 years free of injury, better players in defense , Fucking lewa in attack, and a full season to adapt...

    World Cup 2022

    Dragging the Argentina NT like he dragged Barca who are now flying without him. Damn man. Edit: we don't even need to speculate about Argies performance without Messi. Just check all the qualification games, for any competition, ant year, when he was missing for some games and check again wen...

    Saying Messi robbed Barca, when in reality he helped us become the biggest club in the world and gave us football memories that none of the other fans can dream of. Tuning in to see Barca / Messi play, has been magical for over a decade. Every game with him in his prime has been like watching a...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Could be one of Ferran, Fati, busquets, Williams. Don't think fati tbh.

    11 - Raphinha

    No one of significance buys him now, that is why, our best bet is to keep him and hope he gradually goes back to a decent level. If that is the case we can sell. If he goes and becomes world class, he stays. But no more than 2023-2024 for me.

    Frenkie de Jong

    How does Kessie get into this convertation? I haven't seen him before in Milan or Atalanta, but seen him plenty this season. He should be in his prime years now and looks completely void of technical and passing ability. His physicality, speed and running is not that impressive either. A total...

    Luka Modrić

    But Xavi and Iniesta were part of the greatest team ever, in one of the most competitive eras and leagues ever. It really is a matter of preference for someone to seperate them.

    Antoine Griezmann

    Griezmann was also nad when Messi didn't play.. but people seem to forget that Barca players were shit compared to this France team. Everyone looked shit in that team. Also, griezmann missed sitters left and right, as he is not a striker.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    I don't think anyone believes he would ever have an equal claim. Messi is comparable and is compared only to Maradona and Pele. CR is never in the conversation with those 2. But for some reason his fanboys tried to slot him in a comparison with Messi. Also, Messi already done enough at 35 this...

    Kylian Muppet

    No, he doesn't have good consistent close touches, would lose the ball and get countered. He needs the line to play his best.
