Crossing is just an aspect of passing. Heading is mainly just an aspect of scoring. Weak foot isn't even a category, it's just an aspect to everything. Yet when someone can't achieve with 2 feet what another can do with 1, then that isn't being more complete. It also doesn't all weigh the...

Yes, but Robben's whole 2010 CL campaign was a one man show. In 2014 he was the best individual player next to James. WC 2010, CL 2012, 2013 etc it was not always "just him". Ribery was there at Bayern, Sneijder was there at the Netherlands. But neither teams would have made it so far without...

It can be debated. Bale was clutch in 2 CL finals and 1 Copa final, but he was absolutely nowhere to be seen when Madrid was fighting to get that far. Robben was not a finals guy, but he had some iconic CL and WC campaigns, he would drag his team to these finals no matter how and at least...

I am biased but still it's Robben based on both individual ability and overall performance. I feel like Bale is a bit of an anomaly that never really lived up to the hype, but that gets a bit overshadowed because he somehow still showed up big time in multiple important finals.

His peak was probably the most dominant performance by a CB in a whole year that I can consciously remember as a football fan. I would say a Ballon D'Or wouldn't have been undeserved. What followed was another 1 and a half year of worldclass, but not as good as his peak season. The rest was a...

Leverkusen doesn't sell to Bayern, at least that was the credo that Rudi Voeller implemented. Not sure if that's changed, Voeller retired from the LEV board last year.

He has a contract until 2026 and I don't see him staying at Leverkusen even for the next season with how he is playing. Absolute insane talent, on a level with Musiala, but I don't see him going for anything less than 100m now..

i just think Messi has mentally retired since WC. He will still show up for the monthly freekick banger or some slick through ball, but you wont see him really lead PSG, or decide games. He felt retired even before the WC, itwas being foreshadowed since he left Barca, but still kept in shape in...

I mean Kimmich's horse lungs are one of the main reasons why Verratti was pressed so much yesterday. The 1-0 was also not the first time Verratti is giving away balls while trying to dribble in his own box. He overcomplicates simple things and needlessly instigates these situations himself, even...

Wouldn't this also somewhat legitimize Barca's La Liga win? I feel like if now even Madrid went out in Europe, people would look at Barca dominating this league and concluding that it's just past its prime. But if Madrid wins CL, it means Barca has beaten the team that conquered Europe. Not only...

i think i drink 2-3 too many

Liverpool may be masively deceiving though. Like you'd count them out based on them being only 6th in England cause they like to bottle against the likes of fucking Brighon and Brentford, but come a big opponent then they are weirdly clutch. Im not buying into their league form. They can go far...

I feel like performance wise it's inbetween Napoli and Bayern. City, Inter, Liverpool, Madrid etc are all having a tough year. Chances are they will step up eventually on a few big nights, but speaking about their road so far none of them shine. Of course Madrid will still win it tho, even if I...

Ironically Napoli is like the least Calcio out of the whole lot.

Honestly, cause they are overall just better. Man? is still struggling with fitness. San? is very inconsistent and just not better this year than M?ller and even Choupo. However yeah in a game where Bayern is countering then Man? and San? are looking more of a threat.

lel in 8 matches against PSG, Barca, Inter and Victoria Pilsen they only conceded 2 goals. Against Pilsen. But seriously, De Ligt and Upamecano are an insane CB pairing.

The thing is Paris would prolly be a legit top team if they just held onto their incredible youth and bought smart from their own league instead of going for all these superstars

honestly I'm still shitting bricks. Just have 1 decisive moment from their star forwards moment to make i 1-2 and then this turns into a totally different match.

Quite a bitchmove from the new Italian government. Apparently they have issued an injunction against SSC Napoli banning them from selling tickets to Frankfurt fans for their away match next week. This includes the 2.500 seats they are legally allocated by UEFA. Frankfurt fans are also not...

I just don't see it yet, at least not in the games I've seen. I get he's not the flashy type, but then I don't see him stabilizing Chelseas midfield either. Maybe he's being misused in that defensive mid role, it feels like opponents are walking right thru him whenever they have the ball and he...
