That's my point. It's the hardest thing to do on a team level. And sometimes the goalscorer does the thing in the move/goal with the highest degree of difficulty, sometimes he doesn't. But that idiot (good description of him) just makes a general, blanket, universal statement that 'scoring is...

Yes. Like Arrigo said, I didn't know you had to be a horse to be a jockey, or words to that effect. I had this conversation with another poster - playing football can help a lot in understanding. It has helped me. BUT that is only true if the intelligence and understanding is there at a base...

Yeah it eventually got found out a bit. Though I don't think (or remember) it being as crucial to the game plan as it seems to be for Barca, as you suggest. I might be wrong though, maybe others would know more.

Black Swan is one I still haven't seen. watched the first hour, fell asleep (not because of the film, it was great) and never watched the ending for some reason. I will remedy it soon. I bet she can play the magical instrument.

Yeah I thought that is what you meant. They look similar though Portman is prettier for me. Btw people keep mentioning Puff Daddy/Diddy/whatever his name is. I hadn't looked much into his case. Sounds like a nice guy: In late 2023, his former partner Cassie Ventura filed a multi-million dollar...

Was Keira Knightley there too? She sounds quite freaky to be honest.

Also, how do you mean based on my views on football? Do you mean because I love guys who are entertaining, amazing dribblers, shorter (like me), amazing passers, a bit insane and also have some other qualities on the park? Magic in their feet. And also because I care little for stats (eg CR...

He is - level with Messi and maybe Garrincha and R9 are close too.

Lol maybe I will go back and read it some time. Anyway thanks for the convo - I don't want it to look like I am Team Messi against Maradona. I am one of those who believes it's reasonable to prefer either such is their closeness in ability and some other factors.

True, we have never seen it that much with Messi. Yeah, don't get me wrong - I wasn't implying Maradona was a showboater. His extravagance was married with effectiveness as you suggest. Ah right, fair enough, that's an interesting analogy then even though I don't know much about OG.

Cougar, maybe he likes that. I certainly did when I was 17.

I agree that Maradona showcased more flair, but I don't think Messi lacks that. I feel Messi's style is to do the simple, economical thing, rather than anything extravagant like Ronaldinho. I believe he can do it but chooses not to as he's more 'practical' so to speak. Of course Messi is still a...

Hmmmm. I think they're both so insanely gifted that it's hard to really tell. Maradona being on coke and turning up for games after a three day bender was a massive disadvantage, yes.

He and Messi are impossible to split for me.

These people are all fucking pathetic. The outrage is insane. It's like a eulogy. It's also pissing me off how disrespected Rodri is. They're acting like it's an utter joke he won it over Vini, when it's actually very reasonable and likely the right decision. These guys put far too much...

That's a fair point if true. It's splitting hairs.

They'd have much more chance of scoring more than one goal if he played himself instead of Hojlund or Zirkzee, to be fair.

Ruud's first game tonight - Carabao Cup fourth round at Old Trafford against Leicester, 7.45 pm UK kick off. Likely be plenty of rotation with it being a league cup game. Hopefully the fun continues though.

She's a bit quieter now. She's been Disneyfied.

Hojlund and Zirkzee are definitely far from good enough, agree. Though some of their fans hold out a lot of hope for Rasmus - I feel they're deluding themselves. He's big, quick and strong but poor technically and I don't rate his movement or killer instinct. He shows decent glimpses here and...
