Indeed. Messi fanboys are just envious because C. Ronaldo has scored over 2/3's of his international goals against all-time great national teams such as those that I mentioned earlier. Especially the 34 goals that he has scored against the World Cup and EURO winners such as Andorra, Estonia...

Don't get me started.:lol: Luckily, for the time being, Spain and Southern Europe as a whole, is not as infested with feminism as Northern and Western Europe is. Scandinavia is taking the piss in this regard for all the negative reasons IMO. Women should have the same legal rights as men and...

Great to see Real Zaragoza having a great start to the league campaign for once. Great club with a great passionate fanbase and a great city as well. Would prefer (100 times over) to have Real Zaragoza representing Aragón rather than Huesca with all due respect to the latter. Now with another...

CD Tacón will turn into Real Madrid femenino from next season on if the Real Madrid socios approve of a female football section. https://okdiario.com/deportes/florentino-perez-si-socios-lo-aprueban-tendremos-equipo-femenino-que-tanta-demanda-tenido-4551788 Anyway reaching the Champions League...

You can deny all the facts repeatedly from now on until judgement day. It won't change the reality. A pre-injury Nadal won 10 Grand Slams in the span of 5 years before he turned 25 years old! Became the youngest Career Grand Slam winner of the big 3. Won more (significantly) Grand Slam finals...

I recall I wrote about it in this thread back in the day, but I lost much of my sympathy for Umtiti even before his entire pathetic handling of his knee injury pre-2018 World Cup. Mainly due to how he behaved (in public) before the club decided to extend his contract. Ever since that chronic...

Not read the current discussion at all but did anyone take a look at De Jong's heat maps from the first 3 league games? Talk about a tactical mismanagement. De Jong, under Malmierda's abhorrent "tactical setup", has been reduced to a pseudo-winger that is covering for Alba. Beyond belief. No...

Does not really matter at all as we have tons of potential penalty takers in the team. Griezmann is still a very good penalty taker. In any case I don't recall our last penalty shoot-out in an official game on top of my head. By any means not even Malmierda's retarded "tactics" or lack thereof...

More incoherent nonsense. Prime Nadal won 10 Grand Slam titles and a CAREER Grand Slam before turning 25 years of age. Beating all his main rivals on all surfaces. Being WAY superior in head to head matches against not only Federer but Djokovic as well. Since you have difficulties with...

I remember being very vocal on a local Spanish Barça forum, on social media and in person about the need to buy De Bruyne before Man City did it. We ended up buying Arda (LOL) and before that we were hopelessly chasing Pogba who was never moving that summer. Similarly with the horrendous...

Speaking about technique. Anyone that has played tennis on even the lowest of levels know how difficult this is. Beautiful. I honestly don't care whether you or anyone else agree or not. It is of no importance. Nor my opinion for that matter. We were just having an exchange of opinions...

You do realize that Nadal has reached 4 Australian Open finals in the last 8 years and that many of his final loses were close affairs as well, including those few finals that he lost against a prime Federer? It works both ways. Nadal is basically the Ronaldo (real Ronaldo) of tennis. Almost...

So Federer was not in his prime in 2008 when a 22 year old Nadal defeated him in arguably the greatest Grand Slam final in history? Or in 2009 when Nadal defeated him in the Australian Open? Or in 2010 when he defeated him in the US Open? Let us forget the French Open which Nadal has been...

You are the one making no sense. You started taling about Federer (the supposed GOAT in your eyes) being unplayable between 2005-2007, later to change it (conveniently to 2004-2008) while I just showed you that Nadal was DOMINATING Federer in Federer's supposed prime. Head to head AND in terms...

:lol: Have you ever bothered to take a look at the head to head games in that period (all tournaments) and head to head Grand Slam finals? A young pre-injury Nadal was dominating the supposed GOAT that was supposedly in his prime (your own words). The 1 year younger Djokovic as well. Hence...

Not really. A 19-22 year old Nadal was superior to Federer in head to head games during that era and was defeating the same Federer on all surfaces. Nadal won 5 (!) Grand Slam finals against the same Federer in that period (2005-2009) across Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon. I never...

Can we all agree (at least) that Djokovic in the last 3-5 years is WAY better than anything that Federer used to face early on in his career when he was winning Grand Slams left and right? Please. Everything else is insanity. Federer, in the last 3 years, has looked better than in the past 10...

:lol: Funny that you mention that statistic when Nadal was at his prime pre-2011. Exactly the same Nadal that was dominating both Federer and Djokovic pre-2011 on most surfaces. Nadal won 10 of his 19 Grand Slams between 2005-2010. Oh, let us also forget that Nadal was the youngest Career...

With the majority of those 8 wins coming in the pre-Nadal/pre-Djokovic era. As I wrote earlier, Nadal would have a similar record if playing against the scrubs that Federer played against in those early Wimbledon finals. Djokovic for that matter as well. In fact I would take the likes of...

It says that the idea is not to let him play against Valencia as well. So basically ruling him out of the game for now. That is what old age does (32), no pre-season, a tiring Copa América being played on potato fields and probably Messi forcing a return before the Osasuna game and thus...
