    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    I love that goal. There's 1 more brilliant thing about it: he actually nutmegs the defender on his way to goal after he steals it. At 0:15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlQX2ZO0IzI

    "No man. Ronaldo would have been the best in every era ever. - If you gave Ronaldo hockey skates, he would have won the Stanley Cup 15 times. - If you gave Ronaldo a basketball, he would have benched Michael Jordan" All hail Ronaldo, the greatest athlete who's ever lived. :worthy:

    Ronaldo de Lima would have scored 9 goals that half. Fact. :wave: :lol:

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Just by your first sentence alone, I could tell you were dismissive before you even read 1 word on that article. "Holy publication"? I didn't know "widely-read" translated to that. And comparing Ronaldo with Maradona and Pelé? My God.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Think this new Marca.com article adds some light on the Suarez vs. Ronaldo debate. *To non-Spanish speakers, "Marca" is 1 of Spain's most read football publications. Summary: the article uses "goals to games" average to compare every striker in Barcelona history. It states that Suarez has...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Really? I mean...really? How many elite strikers have fallen because they can't handle Messi being the #1 that Barça plays for? Do you honestly think Ronaldo de Lima would have been any different than the Ibrahimovic or basically every Barça striker in the last decade? Is he a saint? There's a...

    Spot on dude. It's actually funny that the people who come running in desperate defence of Ronaldo de Lima are Brazilians. I especially love the over the top superlatives: "GODLY" ""not even better than the left leg of". :lol: Relax guys. Suarez is a legend. He's going to be regarded as 1...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    That's it. You nailed it. Ronaldo lacked longevity. While I am actually baffled at Suarez's ability to perform at this incredible level (no matter what league, or how weak his team is) for ...what...7 years now? - Anyone remember Suarez's insane 49 goals in 48 games in 2009 with Ajax? Funny...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Wow :worthy:...ok. I'll say it. I never thought I'd see a striker like Ronaldo (de Lima). But, Suarez is getting there. In fact, I think I prefer Suarez now for his unpredictability alone. And, oh yeah, he's the complete team player. He's basically rewriting the position. I'm serious. Luis...

    Luis Suarez vs. Athletic Bilbao: - Wins a penalty - Gets their keeper sent off - Assists the 2nd goal - Hattrick. :worthy:

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    When Suarez was in the EPL, Liverpool were helpless to defend him. It surprised me at the time, but Liverpool carries almost no media weight outside their city. If Manchester United wanted to randomly accuse Suarez of eating babies, the country would buy it. They constantly publicized the most...

    They hate that Barça have personalities like Suarez, Arda, Mascherano on the pitch for them. For years, Madrid got away with Pepe, Ramos and co. beating the hell out of Messi (stomping, elbowing, etc). Not anymore.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Madridista press is desperately all over this. Yesterday, on tv, they showed the Pau elbow on Suarez from the only angle that makes it look like Suarez is going after Pau. The reporter sleazes out and says : "Look! Pau is clearly trying to get out of the way!". Literally every comment below...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Funny enough, this is one of the reasons I was thrilled to bring Suarez to Barça. He also fulfils the "enforcer" role (known in Ice-Hockey). When it was just Messi/Neymar, I felt that Barcelona was too "light". Barça could get mercilessly bullied and there would barely be any real leaders to...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    This got quite a bit of coverage in Spain. But I assume not in English speaking circles. Walter Ferreira, the physio who postponed his cancer treatment to get Luis Suarez to the 2014 World Cup died a few days ago. Ironically, this man might have been key in changing Barcelona's history, since...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Yeah that's ironic isn't it. The game vs. England, to me, is just 1 of the most epic matches in football history. Suarez frequently says (up until like 1-2 months ago) it's his all-time favourite win.

    The English haters will never forgive him. Especially after he knocked England out of the World Cup. I think Suarez supplanted Maradona as "the Devil" for them. :lol:

    I never thought I'd see FIFA give Luis Suarez the best player award in their own tournament. It's criminal that he's not on the top 3 for the ballon d'or.
