    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    I am reading some speculations in some papers that Barca is willing to sell Fati for 70m to balance their books. Can you imagine anyone paying for more than 15m for this version of Fati (plus his enormous wages)?

    Nico Gonzalez

    Last 5 years, 8 gems: Frenkie-Arthur, the best midfield duo in the world. Later: Alena-Puig-Oriol (baby) Busquets Lately: Pedri-Gavi-Nico It will be interesting to see the next overhpyed midfield trio in 2-3 years.

    The more time passes by, I have a feeling that there is a reason why we were always a loser club except in a short 10-15 years period from 2006-2015. We were blessed with Messi and Xavi+Iniesta who turned this club into the best of that era. Without Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, our history is quite...

    La Liga Round 15: FC Barcelona - Espanyol 1-1

    In my country there is already a joke: you turn on any random match on a tv and whenever some player (from either team) goes to the ground (wherever on the pitch), people yell: it's a pen for Argentina, stop the match. Even though Argentina is not playing at all. (The same as we made jokes on...

    La Liga Round 15: FC Barcelona - Espanyol 1-1

    World cup refs were exactly the same in terms of cheating as today. Not too many fans whined back then. Interesting. People see cheating only when it is against their favorite team/player, not when it is obviously in their favor.

    Eto'o vs Suarez : who was Closer of the ballon d'or ?

    -- Suarez maybe scored more goals but he played at Barca who had MSN and there was tons of space for him since 2-3 players had to mark Messi and 1-2 Neymar -- in Suarez's days, our team was way before -- in Suarez's days, goals stats in whole football were inflated because the difference between...

    Barca's level has also dropped from the top of Europe and MSN to Uefa league, Pedri and Gavi. The true estimation of their abilities on club's results will be clearer in a few years, though.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    There is no way to make it today as a winger with his (slow) pace. He can be only a poor man's Raphinha or Trincao. His only hope is turning into a creative midfielder who can also defend a lot. This hype machine is obviously staged to keep fans happy and full of hope, offering 1-2 new...

    World Cup 2022

    Curtois is from Belgium. Curtois till 2018 played for Atletico and 4 years at a mighty EPL for Chelsea (the most covered league in the world). Everything from EPL is more important, more relevant and more marketable. Also, he moved to a RM in 2018, the most famous club in the world, who have...

    World Cup 2022

    Your answer perfectly explains FIFA's logic in terms of awards, pens, sponsors and everything. Winners are the only one who counts, whom average fans remember, whom they Google and follow on social media. People want to see familiar/famous faces as winners. And FIFA is giving fans what they...

    World Cup 2022

    It's more fun for billions of neutral fans that MOTMs and best players are from the winners or famous teams. It is a more interesting story for papers, Youtube, social networks and future documentary movies. Legends in the making. Livakovic had more saves vs Brazil alone that Martinez at the...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Ah ok, If you say that it is not rigged, then I'll never mention this again. Dinamo had literally 5-6-7 pens in exactly the same fashion whenever they play against big boys. And whenever it is 0:0 and big boys are in danger. I have a feeling that big boys "know" the unwritten rule between...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    I am happy for Leo and all of his fans who can kill the Messi-Cr7 debate. Regarding Argentina, WC, Champions league = I need to take a break. For smaller nations/clubs, it is totally rigged game where they cannot participate. A lot of things in top football are a total disgrace. If you are a...

    NT team returned from Qatar yesterday afternoon and directly from the airport they went driving in the open bus through the streets of capital Zagreb, celebrating with fans. Between 100-200 000 000 people were dancing in the streets. Since capital Zagreb has a population of around 700 000, that...
