  1. Dani Alves keeps being involved in goals even at Juve. 2nd goal of the season and has two assists as well I think this season.
  2. Everton and Chelsea going out would be great.

    Did Pele ever play in Europe? I'm sorry like but Messi is pissing the game and the standard is well above what Pele played in. I'm not saying he wasn't good, I'm not saying he wasn't great but he's not Messi. I'd argue that Maradona was better than Pele too. Why would Pele play in Europe when Santos was well and truly ahead of every team in the world back then? Not going to argue the rest however, that's up to opinion. I'm not sure what this is code for. Are wishing to buy a pencil? Might be Happy Birthday Thought it was a birthday thread for Ronaldo poster. :lol:

    Nedved? The France Football Balon D'Or? I'm talking about the FIFA one. Even Owen won the Balon d'Or. Wasn't a real thing until it combined with FIFA's. The Balon D'Or was always more prestigious than the FIFA Award. Yeap, hence why FIFA bought the rights for it. Aye it did, but it was also journalists who voted for it, unlike the FIFA one where it's been players and managers. Only players that played in Europe that could win it as well, hence not a real thing. Or are you guys going to suggest Pele never deserved to win it? Honestly, I've no problem with the award but always thought the FIFA one was a fairer representation. Don't think Sheva, Owen, Nedved ever deserved to win it. Shoehorning Pele and Brazil into another debate. I'm not saying they didn't deserve to win it, the point is that the Balon D'Or was and is the more prestigious award, whether you or I or anyone else likes it.

    Are you saying Ronaldo only did it for 3 years? He was the best player on the planet three times despite having a two year injury between two of those. Ridiculous to suggest Henry was something else. Even Rivaldo won a world player of the year. Henry didn't.

    Ronaldo scored 47 goals as a 21 year old in his first season in a new team in a new league. He was the best of the ones you've mentioned, and by a margin. Only Messi is ahead for me in terms of talent. Hmmm... I think you might have missed out on one important piece of information there, fella. That he was playing for Barcelona? No. Sir Bobby?

    I do as well. You summarized it perfectly.

    Romario was great no doubt, but he was not on the same level as Ronaldo which says it all. Romario was better than all of those you mentioned earlier and he wasn't even in the same league as Ronaldo.

    Weah, Shearer, Baggio, Batistuta et al... Ronaldo was significantly better than all of them. He was better, but I wouldn't say significantly.
  16. These Inter uniforms are ugly as fuck.
  17. Want to apologize. I have bet three times on us to win this season, all three have been losses. From now on it won't happen again.
  18. I would say Pogba and Zlatan are their only elite players at the moment, the squad is not great at all. Maybe Bailly as time goes on. I think the individuals in team are better than what they are showing, they are being set up to fail in some cases and the squad is woefully imbalanced. No actual DMs, a million and one forwards etc etc. Mourinho could use it better than he is though. I'd imagine that a Schneiderlin, Pogba and Herrera midfield would look better than Fellaini, Pogba and Rooney for example among other things. But yeah it's a mess. That midfield looks much more balanced I like both Schneiderlin and Herrera. Don't understand why Fellaini keeps getting picked. Even Bastian should be ahead of him in that team.
  19. How the fuck is only Nolito sent off there? Smith pushes him, puts his head towards Nolitos face, who puts his head forward and he's the only one sent off?
  20. Thiago Silva back in the team. So is Oscar, Firmino and Douglas Costa. Lucas Moura still not getting into the team.
  21. Thought Siss was gonna score there for a sec.
