Messi plays a lot of those little lifts in behind a defence. Not exactly like that, granted, as he is often dribbling first rather than playing first time. But he often does similar stuff.

Forgot the draw for the NL QF was today. Scotland got Greece in the relegation play-off.

Why am I not tagged? I am the biggest ABU here. I am personally offended :lol: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I had never heard of this other guy until people started mentioning him in relation to Ronaldo.

I agree with Lewa. Lamine has a LONG career ahead of him. I don't envy him (obviously I do as he's a superstar footballer in the making, lol) in the sense of him having so much work to do and so much pressure on his tender, young shoulders. However, he has an incredible amount of talent, and...

No problem brother. Just familiarise yourself with the outlook. You have started making posts and nice threads already so I am sure you'll enjoy talking about Barca.

That's hard to say mate. I won't vote for now, but I am gonna go with 09-10 as I feel Barca were still at peak of powers after the treble and really should have beaten Inter in the CL semis. Though Villa hadn't been bought yet by that point, and I consider the 10-11 team the pinnacle of Barca...

Welcome mate. Enjoy the forum.

Yeah that is stunning, Messi-like pass.

Looks like only players he has played with, but there's far more to football than those 7 criteria.

So club football returns soon. Brest are front and centre on Friday night (y) What a club.

It was a joke. Boris lol.

The guy is 56 years old, to be fair.

Great video, watched it before. The first piece of football of Maradona at what looks like Boca shows the problem with rating everything by stats. He runs half the length of the pitch running past everybody, but his shot is cleared off the line. Highlights his brilliance but will never shows in...

Just watching some more videos of him, such an incredible genius.

Fair points mate, and thanks, yeah it was a nice winning goal. Hope fortunes improves for the Poles.

Fair post. I would simply suggest that Salah is the only non-European here and - reading his story - had to make a lot of personal sacrifices as a kid to get to the top of European football. I think he had to work up to the top not because of lack of talent (relatively speaking), but because of...

Respect your opinion as always mate. I must say though I am surprised to see Salah bottom on talent - I thought he'd at least be above Bale. Although obviously even the lowest is a 9 at least in talent. Also, clutch, x factor and on their day all seem similar to me. Talk soon mate.

What a wonderful player he was, and that second goal is the one I referenced, at OT. I find he is forgotten a bit these days when he discuss the best wingers/wing forwards of the last two decades. Everyone talks about Bale, Salah, Ribery, Hazard, Neymar, Mbappe more.

Ok Well, I should acknowledge like The Stig, they're all on a similar level and amongst the best players of their generation, so being bottom is no insult. Salah - love how he's like a mini Messi, with his passing and dribbling (even though a poor man's Messi). He also shows a lot of...
