What a player in his prime. Shame he declined so quickly. After the age of 30, he went south so fast. And he made his move to Barca when he was 27,5. Why did he spend so much time in Ajax and the in a piss-poor Liverpool team? He clearly had the talent and the ability already in his early 20s...
Dybala should get his chance. Everyone has heard the "him and Messi are too similar, they play the same position, occupy the same space" but this is just BS. Two grown, world-class players can surely adapt and combine their talents to the good of the team. No, there has to be something deeper...
Arnold had monster charisma and a great look. He could portray all kinds of action roles from an everyman tough guy to a cyborg. Arnold is also underrated as an actor. His performance in first two Terminator movies and Predator are spot on. CR is wooden, vain and prissy. He has zero depth or...
No one has seen Pele play. And even when he played, that was in the 50s ans 60s. Players were in every aspect far worse than they are now. People love nostalgia, people love the theory that everything was better, more mythical, more natural, more whatever in the past... Bullshit. Most of the...
For sure. In his prime he was better than Forlan and Cavani. Godin is a defender so he doesnt really count. Of course there are always people who bring history to the table, like the fact that Uruguay has won two World Cups from 1936 (?) and 1950 and will tell you that this player and this...
Well no, but he is still completely useless. Cant, run, track back, hold the ball, dribble, shoot, pass, take free kicks... Penalties and headers are only thing he is able to do as of now. Andre Silva would be a much better option.
Hope Uruguay wins. Thank goodness Luisito (best striker ever since R9 but totally washed-up for 4-5 years now) is on the bench and Cavani and Nunez start. Uruguay might have a chance.
And unlike France, England and Germany, their talent is purely home-based. They have no migrants. If, lets say France, played with only real French people (Giroud, Rabiot, Griezzman, Lloris, Pavard, etc) they would never win any World Cups.
Congratulations to all the Croatian folks on this forum (if there are any). I love their team. For such a small country, they continue to produce such great, world-class talent. I`ve said it before, I`ll say it again; pound for pound, they are (along with Uruguay) the best footballing nation on...
Just what the heck happened. He was so good with Chelsea. Even to his very last match. During that Europa League final. Absolute dynamite. Then he got his big move to Real. 130 million. He had holidays before the season began. He packed on pounds. And then it all just went downhill. What the...
