    Pelé

    I'd say this is about right. With a few more names (Garrincha, Zico, Michael Laudrup and some others) who could go in the second or third tier. R9 in tier two on pure talent, and near the top of tier 2 (I know they're not ordered) The thing about Cristiano Ronaldo is that people know he's been...

    İlkay Gündoğan

    That's Ryan Porteous for you. The guy is an absolute clogger who's looked poor in Scottish football (SPFL), never mind at this level.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    I know you weren't, that is why I used it as an example - to show that, some people might like it more because it has more of that type of stuff in it, (and done far better) while also having all the deeper stuff of the Wire.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    That's true, but with stuff of this quality I don't think we can categorically say one is definitely better than the other. Also, your argument (while not wrong) can also be said to be that BB appeals to a more mainstream audience because it's pure entertainment, whereas the other two are more...

    Thanks, I will get to it eventually. There's loads. They're on hold right now but I am watching various shows. Some I am getting into are Mad Men, Black Sails (seen most of it several years ago but on a rewatch), Black Mirror. I'd like to watch Sherlock too and the Attenborough nature...

    Lol I am not gonna be petty enough to let my opinion on a footballer none of us know affect that lol. yes I hate CR, but that doesn't mean all his fans are pricks.

    De Bruyne vs Hazard

    I am a bit tired so not really feeling strong enough to write anything lengthy, but as I said in the other thread, Hazard is the better player to watch for me. I haven't read any previous posts so no influence from those on what I say here. De Bruyne has more running power from deep, is a...

    I didn't know what you meant then until I read up, lol. It's without doubt one of the best shows ever, yes, although I am a sucker for cartel stuff anyway (not seen Narcos yet but you should watch Sicario by Denis Villeneuve if not seen it yet). Interestingly, though, and I am not sure if this...

    Pelé

    They are clowns, yes. He's definitely a top three player of all time, and whether it's him, Messi or Maradona is a matter of opinion. To me he's third, but I understand if someone puts him first.

    Neymar Jr.

    Hazard or Modric that year. Interestingly most Premier League fans would probably tell you De Bruyne was better than Hazard. Both brilliant footballers but I prefer Hazard on his best days myself.

    Euro 2024

    I think so too mate. But then they might flop when the big teams come around - any bullish predictions right now are in error as there's so much football to be played and luck plays such a huge factor in knockout tournaments. They have struggled since winning the World Cup, yes, but this time...

    Neymar Jr.

    Yes, I remember that - was a belter. It's one of them where both are at an extremely high level in many categories.

    Neymar Jr.

    I can't see your video but I have seen both extensively over the years. Hence, I know you are making a good point - Hazard is more wiry and durable and is definitely harder to knock off the ball. He's more like Messi in that sense. Neymar on the other hand is more of a flashy dribbler and...

    Pelé

    I think Pele is top three ever with Messi and Maradona, and I think that's the common consensus. But for something analogous... I am a massive film and TV show fan. Ingmar Bergman and Alfred Hitchcock made some great films, and the Twilight Zone is one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Yet...

    Euro 2024

    Kante has been good so far. I rate Austria highly so the fact he dominated them bodes well for the future. France clearly need the high energy Kante provides. I am a massive fan of Griezmann, but those two misses were unforgivable in the Netherlands game. Still, he has the ability to link the...

    Neymar Jr.

    You won't get me slagging off Hazard, as I am a big fan of his on-ball ability. I am not sure he was a better dribbler than Neymar, they're both excellent at it, as are Iniesta and Ribery and Robben. Obviously Messi is the best. I'd agree Hazard was an even more unprofessional footballer than...

    Euro 2024

    That was my point about France - they play wanky football, but they have players who can produce in moments. Spain might miss more chances than France, despite dominating more games. Football is often about moments. I hate that it is, but it's true. A team can deserve to win but not put away...

    Neymar Jr.

    I said it at the time, but going to PSG destroyed his career. La Liga is one of the two most popular leagues in the world, and he was always going to have to win the CL to get credit for playing in Ligue 1. I don't think that should be the way it is, as Ligue 1 is a good league, but that's the...

    Fair enough on the first part. I was probably being harsh as it's mostly in here I have read your posts, and at times you are clearly in trolling mode. I still feel though that I have seen you talk about Ronaldo in vague, unquantifiable terms etc, like will to win. Ok no problem. I thought you...

    Euro 2024

    Yeah, those have been the best teams. The thing about France is that they're generally dull and uninspiring, but they are strong defensively and know how to get over the line. Mbappe's broken nose makes things more uncertain though, regarding the French.
