Nobody said he was crap. And it's not based on the final. I have consistently said he's overrated. he's decent, but the hype around him is repulsive, and he encourages it with his PR and attention-seeking. Outside of goal stats, what is he actually good at? Average first touch, decent passer...

He's got ability but as always, the United fans are building the poor kid out of all proportion. They do it all the time.

Yes. he's another Gerrard - labours under the delusion he's a dominating central midfielder, when he's actually a number 10 who can get chances or passes in the box, and who's best close to thereand well away from the engine room where he's an absolute liability.

' Pedri and Iniesta. The young players of Barca get hyped way too soon. Pedri struggles to last 60 minutes and has major stamina issues. Also very slow and weak, unlike Iniesta who was deceptively swift on the ball.' Has a point they're not that similar. But saying the bold on a MAN UNITED...

Also, you just know Temp is one of those lads who has an account on the forum of every big club.

Yeah he's only overrated in the sense they make him out to be a combination of Zidane, Pele and Messi. But he's clearly a good player. I am fighting back against the hype and exploring the weaknesses he has as a player. Unfortunately he plays for the devil's club and will likely continue to...

He has encyclopedic knowledge of how good Morata is in training. Respect.

Not really fighting big man. Admittedly I was getting worked up, but there was no real animosity behind my words, and the lads I was hotly debating with are good men. Sometimes it's good to have a bit of edge and passion - as long as it doesn't cross the line :p

Whisper it but he's another product of the Man United hype machine. One of the few football matters I don't see eye to eye on with soul24rage.

Fair points. What I like about Ruiz is he really took responsibility as the leader of the team and midfield tonight after Rodri went off at HT. Zubimendi was great when he came on also. Always knew Zubi was good anyway. Of course they've never heard of him in England so obviously Rice is ten...

'He's him'...whatever the fuck that cringeworthy bollocks means.

Immensely overrated. I see the excuses have started too that he's 'knackered' and 'maybe playing through injury', like those things don't apply to every other player who came into this tournament after a long season. He's like Gerrard in that he's a physical, low football IQ lad who plays the...

Yeah him too, should have mentioned him. Yamal was on the periphery of games a little more often than they were. However, that's the nature of a midfielder vs a winger or more forward player. They were the heartbeat of the team and set the tone. Yamal played his part in that but was more there...

I'd say Rodri or Ruiz deserved POTT. But he was a contender for it definitely. He's 17 so YPOTT is good for him right now.

I thought maybe he was good but maybe just a pacy, tricky winger with a good shot. Tonight he showed great ability in tight spaces, maturity, an ability to play passes round the corner and little one-twos in and around the box. He was also very diligent defensively. Never ever sign a player...

Legend, glad I defended him to Givenchy.

Neville is like Ferdinand. A clueless fraud of a pundit. Some people hang on their every word though, it's so bizarre. They're literally both wrong with every prediction. Zero foresight. And we all remember how bad a manager Gary was. These Man United players who played under Ferguson all...

It's in the English culture, it's even how most PL teams play. back and forth, end to end, battling, physical, magic moments. England are like a better version of Man United - moments and spawn.

I am fucked man. Starting to flag. Been awake for about 20 hours. Need to last a few more to see this game.

Ok Maybe I am reveling in it a bit much tonight. England have good players, my point of contention is two-fold 1) the idea that their players are automatically superior to Spain's (or other teams') because they play in the super duper amazing EPL; 2) my point that, as good as some are...
