No. Germany and Netherlands were not defended from scoring. Their focus is not scoring at all. They were focused on offense-defense balance. Juventus defended Tottenham from scoring. But Germany, was very cautious. And the same for Netherlands. They didn't attack in numbers. They can't afford to...

Every team fears Messi the most. Ask Zidane who has the best squad in the world at the moment. As the likes of Costa and Ramos say, Argentina without Messi is a completely different team. France attacked Portugal when Ronaldo was there and they continued their attack when Ronaldo was not there...

It's good to see that now it's very clear how much poor the team is. Even, I had opinion that, Messi should have won at least one of the four finals. But, not now. This team is worse than the team Maradona played for. Modern football is so tactically advanced that a single player even if they...

Estimate the player based on contribution. Most of his best performances come when Real Madrid outplays the opponent either momentarily or for longer time. And it's the same for his international career. That's why his goal records are scarce against good international teams. Because Portugal is...

He would be a great LB for team that doesn't not depend on wingbacks on offense.

I can't understand how Pique is allowed to play in such way in a friendly in the most significant part of a club season.

Progress is done by offloading high earning underperformers. Iniesta, Busquets, Ter Stegen, Pique and Roberto are good examples for players focused on Football rather than money. I think even in the instance of Messi if not for his Father (who is responsible for tax issues), he wouldn't have...

We were worse defensively (for our standards of the season) against Chelsea compared to other big matches. Our best defensive performance of the season was against Atletico. And the only player who can be compared to Thiago Silva at his peak is Pique because both relied on technique more than...

Best defender at the moment = Most inform defender. It's illogical when Barca fans praise Bayern and Real Madrid for their fantastic well balanced wage structure but at the same time, want a young player who just completed one season to earn the same value as Iniesta.

There is a difference between most inform defender and best defender in the world. Umtiti and Varane are the best young defenders and Umtiti can be argued to be most inform defender. But, on their day, Ramos, Pique, Chiellini are the world's best defenders. No. This is why individuals should...

He's never considered as a Prolific Striker. First of all, HE IS NOT A STRIKER!!!!!! Football, and especially any variant of Total Football, is not built around the prolificacy of Strikers. Wake Up!!! And Never bring an argument that he didn't turn up or something like that. A footballer is only...

Most forum members refuse to accept that, of all the footballers in the world at the moment, Dybala has the most similar characteristic to Messi. Watch him become the second best footballer in the world by surpassing Neymar soon. I'm not saying it only because of his efficiency in goal...

He might be a turtle in sprint but certainly not in football. Because in football and more so in any variant of Total Football it is not about how fast you run, it is about how fast and precise the ball is communicated among your teammates and finally towards the goal. In that sense, Busquets is...

904386605040979970 When I said Busquets is the best midfielder in the world at the moment everyone degraded him as turtle.

Anyone watched the match? How did Argentina Play? How did Dybala play and how good was he in linking up with Messi? How did Messi play?

This is the best.

Napoli's Coach, Tottenham's Scouting, Bayern's management would be the perfection.

100% agree with each and every word.

If this particular summer has to be taken into account, then we are far worse than Arsenal.

First time I'm agreeing with Jamdev. I admired him for his boldness in stating unpopular opinion though.
