I rarely read in Messi thread because of all the nonsense OG trolls produce here. No chance I could have seen it and then repeat it. I'm not Alzheimer age, yet.

I can speak for my region. Clubs that have academies they don't recruit, they do castings of children. Those who stand out, of course are signed, but most of them are signed with the condition families of the kids pay few thousands to keep them enlisted. Football is commercialized. The reason...

Very simple answer - football has become systematic and too much reliant on endurance and physique. Technical players like Zidane or Ronaldinho in today's game would be some nostalgia showboats to no effect.

Beckham was a great right midfielder with one of the most accurate right foots ever. His position I believe is extinct in modern game. You are either a winger or wing-back in that area nowadays. What backtracked his career was the brand building, something Sir Alex opposed and warned and...

I thought of this goal today. Out of the blue.

Bobo won.

No, I'm not. Is there any problem?

Koeman is back! 2-1!

Maybe. But Turks booing for 10 minutes when Dutch had possesion got annoying like vuvuzelas

Basically you mean another Isco?

Turkey are Turkey, category B team with home crowd advantage. I don't know the problem with Netherlands. Might be Koeman himself as finally he's exposed as not a great coach. Same core squad with Van Gaal (exclude Frenkie) did well 1.5 years ago. Fact is NL play like shite all tournament.

This tiki-taka siege of Netherlands hints at second goal for Turkey if they keep playing this way in 2nd half.
