Figo, Ronaldo, Eto'o and Laudrup are the most high profile ones I remember. Laudrup was a hell of a footballer.

Mala leche. Every great squad needs one.

Italy: Juventus Spain: Valencia England: Aston Villa France: Bordeoux Argentina: River Plate

MOTM against inter tonight:D.

I was too young to remember baggio at his absolute best. But it was del pierro and zidane in the late 90's who got me watching football. Juve at that time was probably the best team in Europe. It's just a shame Zizou never won the CL with juve after 2 tries. Another "idol" I worshipped was...

I think Lippi will eventually give Cassano a call between now and the WC. The guy is simply the best Italian play maker plying his trade right now. His form has been nothing short of great so far. This snub is probably just mind games on Lippi's part to keep him on a tight leash and in his best...

Watching liverpool and fiorentina's CL fixture, and it just hit me that Puyol could easily pass off as jovetic's dad.:lol:

What was the deal with the shirts beast? Has your contract with B-win run it's course or something? To be honest, i kinda like the idea of clubs going back to sponsorless shirts. It's like clubs whoring themselves for the all mighty dollar (or euro:)). Of course I would'nt mind if a club had...

out of topic, but i was thinking: can you guys imagine if yugoslavia was still around as a national team? jesus, what a squad loaded with talent that would be. Handanovic, Corluka, Vidic, Stankovic, Kolarov, Modric, Dzeko, Srna, Pandev, Vucinic, Misimovic, Subotic, Kuzmanovic, Rakitic etc...

ugh. Ugly game from juventus. They lucked it, and would probably have gone 3-1 without gigi. Amauri, Iaquinta and Marchisio did waste several chances as well. They looked lost without diego. I hope the little injury nags will be resolved come bayern. The full backs are still concerning, given...

CR lucked that 2nd free kick. they noticeably missed xabi's presence when he went down, and was replaced by that bum gago. on a side note, the real kit looked good without the ugly B-win font on the front.

i pick diego by a small margin. if maradona gave sweet FA about his image, picking him would'nt cause to much controversy. maradona played in a faster era with plenty of ruthless tackling, compared to the slower tempo of pele's time (though i believe pele would have excelled in any era, class...

legend.:worthy: did'nt he start a brawl against athletic bilbao during the copa del rey finals with juan carlos watching? not barcelona related, but this video of his napoli return makes me feel warm and fuzzy. the guy is flat out worshiped there. Oi7-HPOs6gU

is gago on the chopping block? it seems like one source says he's staying, and another says he's on the market. from the few madrid games i've seen last season, he looked absolutely useless. literally just walking around in the middle of the pitch, shipping out occasional passes. he's quite good...

i'm quite neutral on the barca-real rivalry so i can say without bias that on paper the squad looks like something culled from a dream starting XI. what i'm most impressed about is'nt the big names, but the depth. some of the positions are covered with players just as good as the starters. how...

i know the guy is more of a second striker, i did'nt mean as a direct replacement per se :p. but someone to take trez's spot in the forward depth chart if he was sold. amauri and iaquinta are already very capable target men. after the full back situation is adressed, i'd like to see them invest...

villa. moves great off the ball, and is very active in the last 1/3 of the pitch. great track record to boot.

i personally believe that historical success (trophies) and the number of great players to have featured make up a clubs prestige and pedigree. combine that prestige and pedigree with economic clout (fanbase, financial viability etc...) and you've got a modern "big" club these days however...

inter mierda have made some steals this summer transfer market. etoo + 40 million for ibra, now sneijder for a reported bargain price of 15 million?.............. with the inflated prices, this had got to be the best deal of the summer. considering real shelled out 20-25 million(?). this guy...

i can understand them rejecting the bid, considering it's a bad business move selling him for 15 million. would be quite a loss for you guys considering he was brought in for what, 23 million or something? marca is about as credible as goal.shit.
