The opposite. Liverpool would be the best. Would be some great games.

Superb game. Passing, finishing, positional awareness especially about sticking to the RW, runs in behind, mobility - he had everything today. This is when Messi can cause most damage. Let's hope he keeps this style throughout this season.

FCB1987 I based it on the previous seasons - so for eg. 2007 award would be for the 06/07 season, 2008 award would be for 07/08 season and so on. imo Suarez was the best player in 13/14. Ronaldo would have been second or third.

If we're supposed to go by who played well in the biggest games even if they had a bit lower consistency (which imo is CL and big league games and is actually important, as opposed to only looking at best consistency and talent): 2007- Kaka 2008- Ronaldo 2009- Messi 2010- Messi 2011- Messi...

If we're supposed to go by who the actual best player is week-in week-out (based on performances in the previous season): 2007- Ronaldo 2008- Ronaldo 2009- Messi 2010- Messi 2011- Messi 2012- Messi 2013- Messi 2014- Suarez 2015- Messi 2016- Messi 2017- Messi 2018- Messi

Would have gone with meh given how EV will lineup with so many players of the profile he likes (aka CL campaign 17/18). But let's be optimistic and hope EV utilizes his resources better this time. Honestly, the Barca squad is actually good this season (barring injuries).

Yeah, boring is subjective - but there are some common tendencies between most football-watching fans these days and it's unnecessary to deny them. Although boring is "subjective", the vast majority of the footballing world applauded Pep's Barca, not because they were winning things, but because...

I thought this was the most boring Barca I've ever seen in my life, even in La liga. The football under EV was nowhere close to great aesthetically. With City this season - playing some of the most, if not the most, gorgeous football the Premier League has seen and accumulating 100 points with...

The Banega pass happened because Nigeria completely pushed up, which was rarely the case with France today. If Argentina did not concede against so France so quickly after going 2-1 up, we may have seen more of such passes and movement. He played how a false 9 is supposed to play. The...

Look, man, what good would Messi's movement have achieved with this Argentina team? Most of their players cannot attempt a moderately-risky sideways pass with greater than 60% accuracy. I understand this argument with the Barca team who have better passers such as Iniesta, Busquets, and Rakitic...

I don't know if Portugal are a high-level team - but they are definitely levels above wherever Argentina is. Right now, Ronaldo has the team edge at both club and country level. Agreed that Portugal look like they have a plan, and have a coherent idea of how they are supposed to play or attack...

The best Croatian player ever, and one of the best midfielders of all time.

What a legend. One of the GOAT German midfielders.

Anybody who talks shit about Messi regarding the Croatia game is an absolute moron. Fraudioli put out one of the most embarrassing shithead managerial performances I've ever had the misfortune of watching on TV. Let's break down all the disastrous Fraudian decisions from that tattoo parlor...

His passing was just as good in 10/11 and 11/12, and he would attempt more difficult ground through passes. He has better movement, dribbling, acceleration, attitude etc He was just better. Granted he can't showcase his through passing ability as much now, but his passing is still a step below...

Best football he ever played? Come on. He was clearly better 09-13.

lmao James was far better than him.

He used it in the game where they pummeled Dortmund recently iirc, and this has generally been their lineup for the last month. I think the idea maybe to not match RM in midfield, but rather attack their weak defensive transition. Or just inertia of keeping the same lineup and tactics as in...

I think the lack of intensity is the main thing to blame. When Barca play with intensity, they manage to trump almost any opposition or situation. There are indeed structural problems such as the formation that make it more difficult, but the personnel simply do not look like they have it in...
