    Ballon d'Or 2025

    Yeah, Beckham was obviously excellent that season, but from Man United alone there were many great moments of others, and I think Keane was their standout performer that year. Cole and Yorke were also excellent. Like you say there were a lot of big moments that went United's way like the FA Cup...

    Dean Huijsen

    I was thinking that. The first time I saw him I thought he was a normal English lad from the south coast lol. Even his name sort of passes for English, lol. He's definitely gonna grow his hair out and get tattoos at the very minimum.

    South America qualifiers

    On the other hand it's good to see Paraguay coming back a bit in this qualification cycle. They have had a difficult time in recent years, but looks like they'll qualify comfortably for this edition. I remember watching them in the days of Chilavert in the late 90s, Santa Cruz, Cardozo, Acuna...

    6 - Gavi

    I did it in a few threads last summer, was commended for my stamina and commitment to the cause. Never again though - you cannot beat him as he just goes on and on and on, lol.

    South America qualifiers

    Yeah that is true too. There's a lot of corruption and dodginess abound. It's still a real shame to see so much talent squandered and not reach its potential though. We all know South America is probably the major hotbed of football talent. I have no doubt there's loads of talent there and it...

    8 - Pedri

    Suppose having so many great midfielders is a good problem to have.

    South America qualifiers

    I think I said it before, but it's shocking how bad Chile have become. Their golden generation of 1984-1988 births mostly aged and now they are bottom of qualifying section. Their' golden generation' (relatively speaking) was about the same time as Belgium's. I guess you can't expect smaller...

    South America qualifiers

    Indeed. They'd have even more points if not for the three deducted for the Byron Castillo fiasco too. They play well. Ecuador have actually been a solid team in South America for the last twenty five years and made several World Cups. Good to see their improvement this century.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    He's more talented and natural as a player than that non-natural, robotic footballer Ronaldo has ever been, or ever will be. Hopefully he shows the geriatric who's boss on Sunday.

    Dean Huijsen

    A lot can change with young players but he looks promising every time I watch him. In saying that they did concede four goals, lol. But none were really on him too much.

    South America qualifiers

    A lot of people don't like Estupinan as a player - I think he's pretty good. Not that familiar with the guy at RB.

    South America qualifiers

    Ecuador are good to be fair - especially at home at altitude. But what I watched (which was only about half the game, half an eye on it), Brazil didn't offer a lot.

    Spain

    Just realising - they're not all great players obviously - whether you rate them is one thing. But there's a lot of depth at CB isn't there? Looking at the final squad and call ups in the last 12 months. Asencio, Pau Torres, Laporte and Inigo aren't even in this squad so there's a lot of spaces...

    8 - Pedri

    I thought he would play Merino further forward. He does that for Arsenal a lot, Merino. Either way, I have never seen Pedri as an AM myself. He controls the game in midfield for me. He can play AM but feel his best position is heart of mf.

    Argentina

    I didn't realise this is on at 2 am (my time). See if I can find a stream.

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    He was superb before that too, though. He was excellent for Deportivo, superb at France '98 (especially against Denmark, who were really good then) and brilliant in 1999. Even if the player himself said he was better after, that doesn't mean he wasn't operating on the very highest of levels even...

    that site seems the ultimate cope, they don't just cope with Barca players. 'Cherki wouldn't look good at Real Madrid, the people have not seen more than half an hour and against Spain tired, he is no better than Brahim'

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    United fans (not all, but a lot) are so jealous and bitter towards Barca because of those two CL Finals, and also because Messi is considered easily better than Ronaldo. Plus their creepy hatred of Guardiola due to insecurity about Ferguson, as well as them claiming Barca are 'boring' (clueless...

    Definitely find him pretty talented. Just injuries and doesn't seem to have that ruthless personality
