He is crying on purpose, it the only thing he can do to attract some attention. Everyone and their mama know that he is finished as a player and that Messi completely and rightfully won the battle. But, you had a fantastic career man, the fuck are you crying for? :lol: We get it, you are...

Maybe a more interesting question is if the rate of chokejobs in the last minutes has increased the last few years. When you look in CL the last few years + the Euros this year (maybe also the WC iirc), you see more and more often teams making a comeback in the last 10 minutes of the game or...

Topic of the thread was player and not team quality. And for this topic, there is no comparison really. 2006 WC vs. 2022 WC is night and day in terms of individual talent for example.

2010 WC and 2014 WC (and ofc 2006 WC) were all great, what are you talking about? :lol: IMO 2018 WC was by far the weakest of the last 2 decades.

Facts. With the exception of 2007 CL by Milan and 2010 CL by Inter (both still riding the wave of the golden Italian era) and 2021-COVID Euros by Italy, they are doing pretty shite sadly. They failed to qualify for 2 WCs in a row and were knocked out in the group stages in 2010 and 2014 iirc...

Still, a Messi-CR duo (assuming they got on relatively well) would be dominant at least until 2018-2019, also provided they had a competent team+coach.

Happy birthday to the GOAT

Dude we are kidding ourselves if we deny that Mbappe is at least a top 3 player in the world. The only squad in the world at the moment that can rival Real Madrid's is City, which is considerably consisted of oldies (KDB, B.Silva, Walker etc), while Real have many players that (in theory) have...

Sure they have had help from the refs (many times blatantly so), but you don't win 6 CLs in 11 years just thanks to the refs. We try to discredit the di Stefano era (even more rightfully so), but just this century: Inter Milan 1 Manchester United 1 Manchester City 1 Chelsea 2 AC Milan 2...

Thing is, that winning the threepeat is arguably more impressive than winning the treble. The only team that is above the 2016-2018 Madrid in recent history is 2009-2011 Barca, no one comes close. Even this current team has won the double in 2 of the last 3 seasons, this is some historic stuff...

Amazing compilations, most of these highlights are quite rare. Arguably a top 5 season of his. Also one of the most beautiful Barca kits ever (keep it simple ;) )

Dude people age up. Due to injuries, Villa's career as an elite striker was over in late 2011. And ofc he was used as a winger under Pep (to great results, as it further opened up Messi as a false 9, no one is denying that).

Olympiacos struggling to win the league >>> prime AC Milan :cool:

I think that Henry in 2008/09 >= Villa in 2010/11. Both of them were sadly more or less irrelevant in the rest of the seasons. Though if Villa did not get injured in 2011/12, it is an interesting what if, maybe we would have won La Liga and/or CL. He would be certainly be an upgrade compared to...

Funny thing though, this team barely won any Serie A against Juventus and Inter Milan, which also had stacked rosters. Even in the CL, the obviously went to 3 finals in 5 years (winning 2) + the semis vs us in 2006, but also had 2 historic choke jobs in 2004 and 2005.

Dude you are missing the point. Ofc Aston Villa is more physical and have more advanced tactics compared to let's say Real Madrid in 2002, just like that team was better in this regard compared to teams in the 80s. You have to look every era on its own. What we are saying is that back then (I...

European football is simply in decline for a variety of reasons, making just 'good' teams like for example Arsenal stand out. Almost every European giant is in decline with only a few exceptions. The fact that the worst Bayern in 15 years, a meh PSG (compared to the Ibra and Ney/Mbappe teams)...

It may be the nostalgia talking, but there is no way that this is the 'golden age' of the Premier League :lol: Yes maybe the bottom half teams are better than any other league, but the top half teams are repeatedly getting humiliated in Europe. Even the Europa League tends to be won by Spanish...

Dude in the Inter game we literally had 4 good chances: 1)Pique goal 2)Bojan correctly disallowed goal 3)Bojan missed header 4)Messi run and curl-shot That‘s it. A lot had to do with great defense (maybe allowed by the refs) and with Ibra fucking up the link-up play big time. In 2012 vs...

Congratulations to Man. City for winning the title :lol:
