    Ballon d'Or 2025

    Yeah he was, but not by me, that is the point you idiot. And he's regarded as a far better footballer than Ronaldo, and certainly Beckham. He isn't famous for his looks or hairstyles. Can you not see the difference? He was loved for his football ability and his craziness, not because he was an...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    Again he tried to play CM later in his career, and in the 1999 CL Final, because he couldn't play pass and move. He always wanted to play there - he admitted he wasnted to - but he didn't have the ability to do it. Nobody ever claimed his skillset (crosses, stamina, getting up and down the...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    I cannot be bothered arguing with you anymore. You're an indisidious troll who has ruined this thread by bringing up Scholes out of absolutely nowhere, just to satisfy your love for Gerrard and Beckham.

    No problem it's ok. I can understand that without tone my post could have been read in that way. But it honestly was an honest question. True, it would take a country to become much richer or better culture for football. If you have read Soccernomics it states that the three biggest factors for...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    You're funny as fuck. I am far from right wing. I don't care if you're gay or bi, what I care about is you overrating footballers because you fancy them. We all know you have a man crush on Beckham. yes you have argued his football ability (poorly) but we know you are predisposed to loving...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    He could play short pass and move too. Temptation is acting like all he could do was playing 40 yard diagonals. He controlled games through pass and move and was better in tight spaces than he's giving him credit for (obviously not as good as Xavi, Pirlo, Iniesta). He seems to think Scholes was...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    You seem to rate players by how many things they can do, like ticking things off a checklist of completeness. Scholes couldn't tackle (or more accurately he could but deliberately tried to take out the opposition players, he was more dirty than incapable, like Gerrard in that sense). Saying...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    Where did I diss Real Madrid? I am on record as saying they're the biggest club in the world, even though I prefer Barcelona. I never claimed to be neutral. I don't supprt Barca, but I greatly prefer them to Real and always have. Also, Real Madrid are cunts, just like Man United and Ronaldo and...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    How zero self-awareness? I am generally on the right side of history. Whereas you like more inferior players and managers, mostly because of your perception of their looks/charisma/'aura' on and off the pitch. There's a general pattern of the guys you tend to like the most. Probably because you...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    Straw man argument to try to support your flimsy, losing argument. Nobody has said he was a 'complete bum' - I said many times he was a very good player and was excellent from 98-01. He also deserved to be nominated. My contention is he was no better than the likes of Keane, Basler, Sheva or...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    Overall, though, it's so so apparent that you are quite young and new to football, and your knowledge of 90s and early 2000s football comes from reading and highlights videos, rather than living through it.

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    They rated Scholes too, you moron. Even if he became more rated when he was older, he was still rated in the 90s (you seem to think people thought he was Nicky Butt level in the 90s, which is bollocks and shows you are reading misleading sources and didn't live through it). So you can hardly...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    Also, you can hardly call people clueless for thinking Beckham is overrated, when you think Scholes is overrated. it's more clueless to slag off Scholes as a footballer than Beckham. Ultimately nobody was even talking about Scholes. You have gone on an irrelevant rant in two posts about your...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    I already rebuked most of this but I deleted it as I couldn't be bothered arguing with you. Scholes was nowhere near as good as Xavi and Iniesta, but when he played alongside Carrick (after Keane and Beckham were gone) he was brilliant for several years. Also, the same Zidane said great things...

    I know, and I agree, it's not just about the winners, it's also about the experience and every team growing and improving. To be clear, I wasn't saying they need to be a threat to have progressed. It was a genuine, innocent question - out of curiosity - if you think it will ever happen. It...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    He did play well for United, though. I hate the cunt but being fair he performed really well from 98-01. What I do think though is that he was finished by about 2002 or 2003. Real Madrid selling Makelele and buying him ruined them (Zidane implied as much) and he was pretty average (at best) for...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    Some of them do actually claim he deserved it. I seen it on Redcafe as recently as tonight, with them wanking over him getting a knighthood. Incidentally, anyone (like Beckham) who begs for a knighthood or honour from the scummy Royal Family, is a cringeworthy cunt of the highest order, lol.

    11 - Raphinha

    Most of his post history seems to be about Dembele and PSG. Also, I thought by now most people knew better than to rate who was the best player automatically by who scored the most.

    How long do you think it will be before a non-European or South American (ok mostly Brazil and Argentina in modern football) team is a serious (and I mean genuine favourite, not underdog doing well like Morocco or Ghana) threat for the World Cup? I think it will still take a very long time. The...

    That's what you call a video, 25 mins. None of these 1 min-90 second videos of Ronaldo scoring tap ins in qualifying or in Saudi :lol:
