All ready to give you guys a 'sesh'.
-
Sweden under no pressure has actually played quite decent football. They've changed their way of playing. The game today doesn't really reflect their style the last few years imo. This At the world cup they'll have pressure. They'll probably take a draw for 2 of their group games and win the other to go through. Nah they won't, anything from here on is a bonus.

TBH he'd make the team better.

Playing much better. Hope they score.

A battering from a mediocre Brazil side won't do anything especially as we'll have a virtual 3rd choice line-up Mediocre? Or best team in the world right now? We've just played the best team in the world, yes. There's three of them who have been dominant on the international stage since 2016. Germany, Brazil and Spain. They're above everyone else at the moment and I say this despite Germany not having really played anyone of note except France in the Euros where they lost. While Spain have beaten Italy, Belgium and France convincingly and Brazil demolished everyone in the qualifiers after Tite took over. At the moment I'd probably rank Spain as the best team, followed by Brazil and then Germany in third.

Just seen the England side. Jesus. Is everyone injured?

Hope we batter you guys on Tuesday so Southgate wakes up. Really want England to do well next year.

International breaks are awesome when it's not bunch of friendlies being played.

Cote D'Ivoire have been desperately poor. Absolute rubbish. They don't deserve to go to the World Cup. They were horrible against Gabon and again today. Morocco look a very good side, tbh. Renard is a good manager too. He knows the continent well. We are hoping and praying for Libya to score now! Dr Congo 3-1 up and a goal for Libya sends them to the World Cup. Drawing from 2 goals up at home with less than 15minutes to go cost DR Congo a place at the World Cup. Shame, would've loved to see a new team like DR Congo there.

Seems like the northern African teams are back at the WC. (I know Algeria was there last time) Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco all very close to qualifying or have already qualified.
-
Let me just say that Emil Forsberg is a class player. This guy has to be playing the PL very soon. Fantastic footballer.

Ah sorry. -
That decision is one of the most pathetic one I've ever seen.
-
Croatia up by two already. Fortunately can't see Greece going through now.

That might be the case with fans, but the following pundits and ex pros are all quoted as saying he's the best ever having seen both Messi and Maradona, with some of them having seen Pele as well. Wenger, Simone, Guardiola, Beckenbaur, Venebles, Souness, Gullit, Lineker, Tostão, Adriano Galliani, Marcial Pina, Keane, Wright, Shearer, Maldini, original Ronaldo, and Cassano. Fake news. Why invent a list? Beckenbauer, Ronaldo and Tostao all have said Pele from that I know of. Not sure about the rest though. You could always have googled it instead of calling me a liar, like. I messed up with Beckenbaur, but... Tostao - "Messi is better than Maradona; he is more complete, more consistent, more spectacular. He is reinventing the game – a mix of the real and the virtual." Ronaldo - "Does Messi deserve to be called the greatest player in the world? Yes, for sure." EDIT: Yep, they don't say he's the best ever. It was a mistake though, I didn't 'invent' anything. All from here: https://genius.com/Lionel-messi-quotes-on-lionel-messi-annotated Both Ronaldo and Tostao have said Pele is better, there's article on google if you google them, might be in portuguese, but I rather trust articles over quotes that are taken out of context. Ronaldo even says he thinks Pele and Maradona are far ahead of Messi. http://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/futebol-internacional/futebol-espanhol/noticia/2015/12/ronaldo-prefere-et-messi-cr7-e-acha-pele-e-maradona-muito-melhores.html http://globoesporte.globo.com/mg/noticia/2012/03/tostao-nao-poupa-elogios-messi-ele-ja-e-bem-melhor-que-maradona.html So yeah... Pointless discussion. My apologies. -

Yeah, you also said only Cruyff out of generation comes close. You do talk some shit. Agree with KI in the sense that Messi is for me the best I've seen and by far as well, but I'm yet to talk to one that has seen Messi and Maradona throughout their careers say Messi is the better player which I find so hard to believe. Same goes regarding the ones who have seen Pele. In the end I'm happy I've gotten to see Messi play because in terms of career and winning trophies, I think Cristiano might actually have had a better one. -
I'm not saying he's great, but he's definitely one of the least of our worries at the moment. I mean, he's bang average from open play but still seems to be close to scoring or assisting every game. He's dangerous and he's good with set pieces.
-
I like Ritchie. Definitely one of our better players and least of our worries. Could've scored twice and had an assist today with a bit of luck.
-
And this is why I love Klopp. Everytime I watch Liverpool it's exciting.

Typical. Our team is horrible. If it wasn't for Benitez we'd have 0 points.
