Well... insane free kicks.

Bloody idiot.

If we want an AM, we should buy an AM. Pogba would be an absolutely sick choice to take up Iniesta's mantle. Suarez is a natural CF and can play with his back to goal. His very particular combination of characteristics (determination, insane work-rate, aggression, dribbling, strength, passing...

First time I've heard that. Makes sense, though.

For CFs? Benzema, Zlatan, maybe RVP and/or Sanchez on a good day?

Oh my friend...

We can't analyze players in a vacuum...

Ronaldinho was very good, amongst the best ever. But in terms of the pure, technical close control on a consistent, game-to-game basis... honestly in that very specific area, Iniesta has him beaten. Iniesta's pure technique without any natural fitness, power pace and/or insane acceleration is on...

There are many good dribblers. Messi is the best, most efficient, effective, ruthless. The ball is simply an extension of him. It's not fair to compare Messi to anyone. But after Messi, it was Iniesta in his prime, in THIS generation. I wasn't around to watch Maradona, Pele, Baggio, etc. Maybe...

I would be interested in a Los Angeles group.

Pique needs to maintain this form. If he can do that, best defender in the world (overall game, that is).

Doesn't look happy? He could just be highly introverted and/or a bit nervous. One shouldn't try to overanalyze the situation.

Xaviesta, obviously.

Well, Messi has better than Neymar's dribbling and Messi's finishing and he's a Balon d'Or contender!

My opinion to this day, but Andres Iniesta's dribbling ability and close ball control in his prime is only bested by Messi, the best player ever. Iniesta was always a god of dribbling. And it's not even really a matter of technique, I think, but that Messi is stronger, more agile and dexterous...
