I liked what I saw in the first half against Portugal. Mascherano + Biglia (I'm starting to really like this guy) bossed the midfield and that right back was good (in both directions). Higuain was a bit uninvolved and CBs didn't impress at rare Portugal counters. Didn't watch the second half...

You don't sell the GOAT. You just don't.

Lahm out for 4 months. Montoya to Bayern in January. You heard it here first.

I'm not quite sure Barca was seriously after him before that renewal. Too bad he renew before Enrique was appointed at Barca.

Luis Enrique brought him to Roma, I believe he would make a move for him if Pjanic didn't freshly renew contract before WC.

Goal dot com rating: Ronaldo: 4/5 Messi: 2/5 The fuck? I really think Ronaldo had abysmal game.

Very naive set-up from Enrique. This is a modern football big game, you can't have all front 3 players free from coherent defensive participation. Also, it was pretty obvious that the midfield was being overrun in the 1st half, you don't leave it out the same at the 2nd half.

"I honestly think Lionel Messi is the greatest footballer I have ever seen in my lifetime – it’s impossible to compare players across eras – and if you asked me whose ability I’d rather have, I’d probably say Messi. Some of the things he did at his peak were pieces of absolute genius." Jamie...

There's no "all three of them" option, which will most likely happen.

I really hope Ramos will play, regular Clasico flopper. I'd rather have his dumb duel machoism than Varane's positional discipline.

Are you guys confident he would do well with high pressure during build-ups from the back against RM? Remember that one Bernabeu Clasico when Keita played at DM? He was a disaster waiting to happen, and Keita is way more composed on the ball than Masch.

What I'd like: Alves - Mascherano - Mathieu - Alba --- Ivan - Busquets - Iniesta -- Suarez - Messi - Neymar What I'm afraid it will be: Alves - Pique - Mathieu - Alba --- Xavi - Busquets - Ivan -- Neymar - Messi - Iniesta

It could also mean Iniesta starts higher up with Xavi - Busq/Masch - Ivan as midfield trio, as it probably seems more cautious approach to LE considering Barca is not under the pressure to win at all costs.

Pedro played full game vs Ajax. Maybe this means El Pistolero will start Clasico.

1. Messi 2. Iniesta 3. Neymar

It seems stats do matter, at least when they go Iniesta's way. Lol, people actually believe this. Was he personally responsible for that Bayern 4-0 thrashing too? :p

I didn't compare formations, just stated for the sake of argument that he plays in line with Matic and that they wouldn't even collide in 4231 with Fabregas as #10. They don't collide. They didn't at Barca, they wouldn't at any given formation and system (assuming coach of any competence). You...

I wasn't suggesting anything. I was simply replying to a statement that Messi and Fabregas collide when they play together. This (him not complimenting Messi) is a nice example of pulling arguments out of your ass just to rationalize letting go of him. I'm curious too. That treatment (no...
