Watching this before going to play myself - I always play better after watching this genius beforehand.

Have a good day my friend.

Yes to be honest with you Porque, I am not convinced myself. I think he can do well, but the jury is very much out. It wouldn't be a surprise if it all goes tits up again.

Exactly. In the World Cup Final, only one non-clasico player started for Spain (Joan Capdevila of Villarreal, at LB). Three were from Real Madrid. The other seven were from Barcelona - six youth products, plus David Villa who had signed the month before. Fabregas (another Barca product) also...

I never said some Messi fans aren't a bit unhinged too. I was just discussing Ronaldo. To be fair from what I have seen he does have the most extreme fans. By the way, I do NOT mean you, at all. I mean there are some who are very toxic and horrible and insulting, from my reading of other...

I think they're being more careful now - especially with their financial woes. They don't wanna be stuck with him if it turns out terrible. Starts officially on the 11th, apparently. I wonder when his first game will be. Probably Ipswich away on the 24th after the interlull.

Amorim confirmed.

Was he as good as Zidane at his peak? His standing in the game isn't as high, but he had a similar amount of technical ability, genius, magic moments etc. I loved Zidane but I loved Rivaldo too. Also (taking away bias), do you prefer Zidane's winner at Hampden or Rivaldo's overhead kick? Maybe...

He's been a fantastic player - just feel comparing him to Messi is too much, he can't compete there, and causes people to slag him off because they feel that is overrating him (as I do too). He has weaknesses in his game, but he has always been an amazing goalscorer and a passable/decent...

Thinking about things, it's rare I dislike a kit or a colour. I guess something like green and whire stripes is something I don't like, just don't think it looks good. Red and white stripes are very common for many reasons in Spain.

They're gold, technically. Just being a pedant, lol. But yeah. I always liked Brazil's kit because I think yellow and blue is a stunning colour combination. I also like Fiorentina's all purple kit.

Nice kits them have always thought. Pink and yellow are lovely colours.

Barca essentially are gonna win the World Cup - like in 2010.

Yeah exactly, it was a precious time. Lots of people out in the fresh air and constantly active, less weight problems and less depression. This is now tying into my discussion of the world probably being worse since the internet and new information technologies have been invented or become...

Yeah me too, I played on the streets a lot - now kids have access to 4G pitches etc. I play on them now too but obviously not as a boy (I was born in 1982, think you said you are 1971). It was a wonderful time back then, when the streets were safer, less opportunity to play video games, far less...

Criminal that he didn't get the pass there.

Yes true. I guess I am working on a hypothetical idea that they were exactly the same in talent, but born in the 90s or 2000s. There's so many variables (not just genetics) though that make it impossible to answer - maybe if they had been born in today's era they wouldn't have played in the...

Yes all that is true. Like I say, it's always the fitness and organisation aspect that would need to be brought up to speed, and adapting to modern tactics etc. After that, the players' natural talent does the rest. To reiterate, many players born in the 30s, 40s and 50s were more talented than...

Is that a wind up? Ballon d'or boots, 5 hour TV shows, parties. All over a politicised individual award. I honestly think most players would rather win the BD than the World Cup. What the fuck is happening to the game?

Good night tonight. Though Roma was the least fancied result here and still as high as 65 percent, so a more predictable evening in general. I thought Lazio would win but definitely didn't see this hammering coming. In my main mini-league for Serie A there are about 186 players. The top scorer...
