in all honesty, i think privately ronaldo doesn't give a damn about messi, because in his mind, he is the best (or most complete, or whichever yard stick he uses) player and that's good enough for him. the thing is that those with real self confidence don't need the approval of others, because...

I would take comments in a forum always with a grain of salt, especially after a loss, some people are just more emotional than others. also i'm convinced about half of the active user base are still adolescents (if not...mother of mercy!), so let's not be too harsh. But you're completely...

I'm not advocating for either goal keeper, because frankly it's real's problem and not ours. but letting casillas play now seems reasonable, because imo his current form comes from not playing regularly for two years and low self confidence from the resulting mistakes. If he could regain...

In Germany, the MACHINE is the star! On topic, i'd say iniesta wasn't bad as much as uninvolved in the game. i can remember one dispossesion on him where i actually cringed a bit, but he also had a couple of iniestaesque dribbles and ball control, so the class is still there (as if that ever...

Would you really call it arrogance though? If he stays at barca, he will go into the next season as a 34 old to play under a coach who's all about shaking things up and bringing back hunger and dynamic. He'll play far less then last season and in addition he's retired from the national team as...

yeah, good timing as well, when everyone and their mother is giving messi hell for that damned award. so, it seems for mourinho being an asshole is more a job routine than a character flaw. on the other hand the "oh shucks, he ain't so bad after all" is literally the oldest one in the book...

well, they could do worse than dunga, but to be honest that would be papering over the cracks, no? They need to reinvent themselves a bit, and what better time to start something drastically new then now? after germany hit their low in the early 2000s, they also didn't take back berti vogts, but...

but he still needs the eurocopa! call it a pet peeve but when a legend like lahm wins the world cup, he needs to have the complete set. otherwise it feels...wrong. It's wrong lahm, goddangit!

but of course! the warrior poet!

khedira united again with özil has a nice ring to it. Also, i have a feeling this could be arsenal's year, if only due to the laws of probability. it's like with the 1000 monkeys on a 1000 typewriters. btw djab, who is the spanish messi? torres?

that people are having a go at messi because he was given an award is really beyond the normal idiocy. He doesn't even want the damn thing for crying out loud! I think that both throughout the tournament and the final, messi played exactly like he played for barca the entire season - not better...

wow, that's some statement. I wonder, if you can cange your support so easily, could you also really experience the joy of the high times? I doubt that somehow. Never real elation or pain, such is the stale life of the bandwagoneer

Honestly, if roncero would stop with attacking barca in his articles and only write stuff like this, i'd like him, i'd buy his bloody paper! He's either the troll to end all trolls, or he genuinely lives in his own alternative Real-ity C.F. either way, it's comedy gold :lol:

flavia, a question if you don't mind: It thought it was really surprising that people were demonstrating against the world cup for monetary reasons, yet no one ever mentioned the fact the rio is also hosting the olympic games 2 years from now. is that just the filtered news we get in europe, or...

you make some good points don, i agree with you mostly. you also have to consider that a lot of the people calling for zunigas head right now are still emotional from the incident and the reactions wouldn't look the same if it had been a mascerano on ronaldo tackle for instance. I have to say...

that's a complete legit opinion to have. i can fully understand when many people, especially kids or teenagers think ronaldo's playing style is more exciting, i dunno why that's such a big deal. if you think messi's something else, that's also great and million of people agree with you, but it's...

if i remember correctly, captaincy in the seleccion is given based on caps. which would mean after this world cup the hierachy goes ramos, and then...torres :VdB: Ramos wouldn't even make a bad captain, but iniesta is the perfect choice, hands down. he's the most skilled player of spain...

i have to disagree here. in our worst games last season, we have always been overrun in the midfield. busi is an absolut genius and i consider him the best #6 in the world, but against the atleticos of this world, he is not the best option. Mascherano would bring some steel to the midfield...

should he play against Australia, it would be his 100th cap for spain. probably not the best of occasions, but on the other hand it could be his last game at a world cup, and maybe spain will put out a redeeming vintage performance. also, it could be the last official match he plays together...

mourinho is always right, even if he's wrong. especially if he's wrong. #thecorrectone
