Oh so this is a slippery slope situation, because if a poor multimillionaire and his father claim to know nothing, do no wrong, only while keeping more millions for themselves then what chance do us regular people have of not going to jail while even looking at taxes. . I think Messi's...

National teams will never be as good as club teams. How can they be when these players don't spend a tenth of the time training and playing together as club teams. Its a team sport and somehow the highest level of soccer is expected to come out of players who barely see each other all year? I...

Do you really believe that? Not the unretire part but the win them the world cup part. He will be in his 30s by then and these World cups final runs are so unforgiving and hard to get to. They could just as well not make the quarters as as make the final its not like champions league where you...

On the whole winning trophies benefit thing. Do players in the Douglas situation even care about their teams winning trophies given they had nothing to do with them. I'm not even talking about regular subs who appear almost every game, but these super bench warmers like Douglas and irregular...

For his sake I hope he doesn't sign at Barca. He'd be barca's version of Goetze with less fan fare prior to his signing. Busquets plays every minute of every game and he's been at Barca for ever. This isn't like coming in as a striker where pressure mounts at a starter if he goes on a dry spell...

I know stats are a dirty word on this forum sometimes, but if MSN don't score and usually one of the three is in terrible goal scoring form for a given period, I expect Rakitic's name or Pique to be on the score sheet. Thats an important role and having a 10 goal midfielder helps out greatly in...

I don't think that rivalry is meant that way in soccer. They were competitors in the 90s and now with Dortmund's resurgence they are competitors now again. You don't go from being a rival to not based on form, just like Borussia Mon weren't Bayern's rivals in the 70s they won a lot and were...

Usually the word traitor in regards to soccer players is used for players who specifically disregard a former clubs culture and obliviously do thing like give pc one liners about the new club, kiss the new badge, while going from clubs like celtic to rangers, inter ac, real Barca. They are not...

While I agree that all your best players going to the most successful team in your league is far from ideal, they are not some sort of special "rivals" that culture and etiquette would make transfers very heated/impossible. Is Atleti Madrid somehow Barcelona's rival now too if thats the case...

I'm curious. Who is one and who exactly do you consider white?

Casillas has had a Torres-esque death spiral in regards to his level. It doesn't matter where he plays.

He isn't Barcelona Material and he hasn't played much due to the fact. But he can leave here feeling happy that he got to train with the best in the world, even became good friends with a lot of the guys in the squad and obviously the Silver ware and Medals he won with his are a added bonus. I...

Missed the match but lets remember that Barcelona is the only UEFA team to have ever won the treble twice in history, tier 1historical teams like Real, Milan haven't even done it once. Were people really of the opinion treble repeat or its a failure? The treble is a crown jewel, ultimate prize...

Dortmund and Bayern aren't arch rivals though. Its not the same for Gotze as a player like Figo with Barca and Real or a player who went from Celtic to Rangers. Dortmund's archival is undoubtably Schalke, the Revierderby. The only reason people have been making those comparisons is that for...

Thats what happens when you ban ultras and treat any fan group that wants to organize like criminals. Barcelona has for quite some time been known far having a terrible atmosphere , graveyard silence, and very timid fans(stadium fans). By the way that Cruyff tribute at the beginning. None of...
