Fatty is a the best of superstars no? If you are so entrenched in the football bubble you can miss this, but its so great that Barca's main star today has a name that reads like fatty in English.:barcascarf:.

Lewa was not born with good six pack genetics.

I was crucified here for saying this guy wasn't that good back when he was first signed..... just came back to say this, that is all bye. :crbust:

Instead repeating your little mantra about it "become a complete and utter joke" why don't you check the past winners. They have been handing this thing out since 1956. If you bother to do the research they have always given it to a (Euro) WC winner or WC finalist. The two exceptions are 94 and...

Since judging by your criteria it would go to a forward every year, whats wrong if it doesn't. What if being a pivotal starter for a repeat champions league team while playing well with your national team and getting to the WC final puts you over brilliant forwards with less success in the...

I don't really mind the give it to the "best" player of the team who won/runner up the biggest trophies. You get some variety that way with the positions that win it. Its already super rare for a non forward to win it. This decade of nothing but forwards winning it, I didn't like it.

Eh thats not fair. Modric isn't more popular than Messi. They gave it to him as a career award and because he got far in the WC while playing good. I think everybody breathed a sigh of relief when it wasn't Messi or CR holding the thing. He won't miss it, not if he thinks he has a realistic...

There used to be people on this forum who praised him for being a clean cut guy who would never dream of getting a tattoo and they said ronaldo's style was flamboyant and annoying. I wonder what they think now having to eat their own words.

Where do you draw the line, is the italian league trash too what about the bundesliga?

That depends on the level of celebrity. Patrick Warburton doesn't have fans reacting like Messi. Messi has reached the status where the average man recognizes the name C.Ronaldo and Messi. They might have no interest in the sport but people will recognize those names, these are the only two...

It goes both ways. For every post with hyperbole like that there is an even larger group of people here who think that every time he puts on a barca jersey is a blight on the club's history, that his good periods were just him free riding on the work of better players ( alvez,...) . They are...

Yeah he did it because he felt sorry for another players mistake, which is even less of a reason to apologize (act humble) than this time .

It would have been funnier, he did it before.

No, not on this forum. Him getting to the WC final is barely keeping the hate in check and its still leaking through. Just take a look at the comment history during a bad stretch to see this forum rating him.

I'm already picturing him out the door right now. :wave:

Didn't Barca have to bribe his dad and sell part of its soul to get him in the first place.

I know this forum is in awe of the man but what is wrong with pointing out that the guy is often benched. Its true, it has nothing to do with opinion, its not hiding behind "but coaches decisions" its hiding behind reality. He is not a regular starter for club or country, this forum loves him...

This forum is obsessed with that joke.

Not true. The copa has inconsistent intervals and has even been held in back to back years. The euro is rarer and follows a rigid 4 year pattern.

They guy was never considered a pedigreed football prodigy like a Maldini who started in the best league (best club at the time too) in the world at the age of 16. He fought his way up the ranks basically being the top or second scorer in every low level league he played in. He clawed his way...
