    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    Proud? Dude, I am (with all due respect) right most of the time in my predications and estimations (as seen by my track record) so it is not exactly an accomplishment for me nor does anyone need to be an Einstein to have figured out that the KPB deal was insane.:lol: Just a hilarious thread...

    Adrien Rabiot

    No Rabiot no party. In Paris. No workhorses. No joy.

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    EdmondDantes This thread never ages well does it? The initial comments (and my own) are just getting better by each day. Like a good bottle of red wine. Priceless.:lol:

    Marcus Rashford

    Clearly carrying a knock and not fully ready. Not even close. Could be clearly seen from the start until the end. Hence I was surprised with him tacking the penalty but it was not like Man Utd had many alternatives at the time on the other hand. Showed character and scored in what must have been...

    Gerard Piqué

    Disagree with the notion of Piqué having many dips if any serious ones (long-standing other than some bad games here and there like any other player) in the seasons that I talked about. Look, individual players, even elite ones, don't perform in a vacuum. They perform (automatically) better if...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    So you agree with me if you agree with my initial comment? Why this long debate then mate?:lol: Of course there are no perfect CB's. Already wrote that. De Ligt remains my favorite all things considered. Yes, de Ligt partnered with any of (a fit) Umtiti or Lenglet would be great. Or Piqué...

    Neymar Jr.

    No. As much as Neymar is a snake he is twice the player that Hazard is in terms of actually scoring goals and creating. Younger. Better individually. Quicker. More dangerous on his own. The bigger star and thus the better option in terms of revenue from the commercial/business side of the game...

    CL | 1/8 Finals: FC Barcelona - Lyon 5-1 agg.

    The recent results are actually the best thing that could have happened to the team and Valverde. Any possible trace, even the slightest, of potential complacency or not giving Lyon the sufficient respect, should be out of the window now. The return leg being played in 7 days time would make...

    Neymar Jr.

    Yes. He has a great reputation in England and it's where most of the strongest clubs (financially) are located. 1 season of bad form (he had a good first half year) should not turn all possible suitors away. He is still relatively young. Will turn 27 this June. Either that or QSG might be in for...

    Who do you want as Barça manager next season?

    I just created a thread about Thomas Tuchel today (great timing and great jinxing, happy about it in fact) because nobody else had created a thread of supposedly one of the most "hyped" managers with an imaginary "huge fanbase" online. The only reply, aside from my own, is a Morten classic...

    Neymar Jr.

    Yeah. Sporting wise for sure and collectively as well I suspect. Not to mention all the drama outside of the pitch and the constant tiring rumors about his future. Something that PSG fans have been enjoying since he arrived and probably will enjoy even more this summer when he will try to force...

    Who do you want as Barça manager next season?

    I think that few users would say that and more that about you. In which universe does he have a "huge" following and fanbase? Certainly not in Spain or Italy. Germany? Not sure. Maybe Egypt? Is this some kind of joke or are we talking about another Tuchel or Klopp somehow? Care to show me this...

    Who do you want as Barça manager next season?

    Why is Tuchel overrated? There is hardly any hype surrounding him. Klopp's hype is many times bigger for instance. For challenging Pep's Bayern (probably his best version of them which was the 2015-16 version) and for not being able to win the league title the season after? Or for winning...

    Neymar Jr.

    Better only because he happens to be 5+ years younger than Dembélé. Long-term I highly doubt that given Neymar's personality, entourage, the fact that he is Brazilian (we all know the history of their attackers and how relatively early they seem to decline, in particular in BCN). Buying Dembélé...

    Qatar FC

    Dude, I watched the action once. Spent the remaining of the time on rejoicing and having a laugh with other mates after a few nice glasses of La Rioja red wine.:lol: Did not need to see 10 replies to spot that it was a clear penalty. Neither did the VAR officials or Skomina. On that Youtube clip...

    Qatar FC

    Does not matter at all per the rules. Hence why I wrote not to have your hands above your head or NOT alongside your body. Check my post. Or reread it again. Or read the rules. I watched the game. Enjoyed it greatly. In particular the ending. Thank you very much. Looks like you did not. BTW...

    Tahith Chong

    Legend. That hair man. Would make Fellaini envious and proud at the same time, I guess. A cult player emerging. Sign him up Barto!

    Champions League

    He just turned 41 recently. No surprise really, is it? Been in decline for some seasons already. In particular post 2017 where he most probably should have called it a day coming off one of his best seasons in recent years. Greatly helped by Juve's fantastic defense that season. Another thing is...

    Qatar FC

    They have better individual players than Man City (courtesy of mainly Neymar and Mbappé mainly and only) but not sure if they are a better collective. They most likely are not. Man City have the better goalkeeper, better backs and arguably better CB's. A better midfield too. They only have a...

    Qatar FC

    Don't freaking jump (with your arms not attached to your body or worse with your arms above your head) in the penalty box while trying to block a shot on goal from your opponent while having your front (at least half of it) in front of goal. In particular not when the shot of the opponent is...
