    Zlatan Ibrahimovic

    The most amazing thing is that he actually scores, running away from the goal but not with his back towards it. How on earth he managed to find the net is beyond me, this one is right up there with Carlos free kick against France in 1997. To bad that this guy is going down in history as the one...

    Argentina

    I don see the point with these games, the audience pay expensive tickets for a game none of the players care about. The tempo is a joke, Argentina could have played the U20 team and give the Saudis a better challenge.

    O Rei Messi surpasses Pelé

    It is because 12 of Muller goals came in a tournament that was created as a preseason warm up to 1972/73 Bundesliga season, because of the 1972 olympics that year, Bundesliga start was pushed back 3 weeks so the German football federation organized this one of tournament to fill the gap. It was...

    Gerard Deulofeu

    The sad truth is that no matter how well Deulofeu develops he will struggle to break into the starting line up. And even if he does end up a starter by 2014/15 the chances are high that he will fail. I hope that Vilanova will give him as much time to adapt as Guardiola gave to Pedro, It doesn't...

    LFP give four Barça players awards

    You can't get away from the fact that there is to a certain degree nationalism involved in the voting, it is just inevitable when it comes to these types of awards.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Of cause not, but they tell the true picture. There are persistent myths about Pelé being some kind of superhuman football god, carrying Santos on his back, in the same way there are the Maradona myths about him carrying Napoli around on his back, flourishing in the Messi vs Maradona debate. The...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Today I read the most bizarre argument in the Messi vs Pelé debate in the comment section in a news paper. The arguments were basically these: *Messi score even more than Pele did in his days! *Messi plays in an overwhelmingly-dominant club in his league compared to Pele The point being Pele...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Scoring 20 goals by mid November, to me is quite a feat. Maybe he is a bit less regular this start of the season, but it is the spring that matters anyway. We will see how many goals he eventually scores. With the twenty he has now, he is the first player in the club's history to score at least...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Is is simply a matter of accumulation, for that goal that he scored against Mallorca there are probably dosses of attempts before that were blocked, sooner or later with enough persistence Messi scores. Many of his goals can be argued for are the result of lackluster defending, but it is simply...

    Real Oviedo

    I find it a bit strange that no one is willing to buy the club? Oviedo is one of the few clubs in Spain with really passionate fans, they travel with the club all over the place, bringing thousands of fans to away games even in third an fourth division. I believe they had something like 7000...

    Barca Forum Hall of Fame

    Barcelona had to chose between him and Schuster, in the end they went with Schuster, 3 month later Littbarski deconstructed Barcelonas defense almost single handedly in one of the most humiliating European defeats ever witnessed at Camp Nou, he scored 1 and assisted 2 when we lost 4-0 to FC...

    Serie A 2012/2013

    Hmm, Di Natale, Klose, Milito and Toni, the old guard is still going strong. I wish Spanish football would take a lesson from Italy, here the goalscorers are finished by the time they turn 32, like Raul for example. The clubs have no patients what so ever, look at David Villa, media is already...

    Barca Forum Hall of Fame

    Wasn't there a guy that was called the Asian Maradona? I remember some videos of him dribbling like 5-6 players. He played a few games for Bayern Munich i belive but never managed to adapt. I think he was from Iran or Irak, something like that?

    11 - Vitor Borba Ferreira Rivaldo

    Yea, that second goal when he sends Kily González (nr 18) looking for his own shadow, such a goal only Rivaldo could score. I was right on top of Cañizares on that game, had a perfect view on that last goal. It was really a typical Rivaldo showing, Barcelona was crap, Valencia owned us the whole...

    11 - Vitor Borba Ferreira Rivaldo

    The greatest Brazilian to ever wear the Blaugrana shirt, I personally rate him above Ronaldinho. Unlucky to coincide with the most unbalanced Barcelona team since I began to follow this club back in 1978, he at times carried the team on his own back only to receive the most disgusting treatment...

    Bojan Krkić

    Now, the only one destroying his metal strength is Bojan himself. First they brough in Ibrahimovic for 70 million and offfered him a loan deal, he refused. then they brought in Villa for 40 million and offer him a loan deal, he still refused. The guy pushed the self destruction button all...
