triggs

Well that was the biggest fuck up of a finish I've seen in a while

Inler has been great so far

Bet Pards is loving Rodriguez

Higuain is playing like Shola so far this world cup

Messi doesn't edge it on dribbling, he destroys him on dribbling along with most other things They have a completely different style of dribbling. You're not comparing like for like. Messi's style favors tighter spaces, he doesn't give much away with his body, but overall it's not complicated. The only remarkable factor is how quickly he does it. Those little inside-outside movements are things my kids can do. It's his speed, balance and his smarts that make him so good. Ronaldo, from a purely technical standpoint, has a greater range of movement, uses his body well to sell moves, but tends to take longer strides which means he's not as good when swamped by players. From a non-technical standpoint, just pure effectiveness, they're both devastating when they're on form. Messi is the more brutal, though. It's so much harder to get anywhere near him. Messi's dribbling is also prettier which is part of the reason why people think it's so much better than Ronaldo's 40,000 step overs. Yes but its not the style that I am basing the opinion that Messi is a better dribbler on, its the fact that he is statistically way more successful

That quote sums it up for me. Ronaldo is brilliant but Messi is a God like footballer

Messi doesn't edge it on dribbling, he destroys him on dribbling along with most other things

Ronaldo clearly can be mentioned in the same breath as Messi. If you can't see it with your eyes just look at the graphs. Messi can do everything to the highest standard while Ronaldo just scores goals to a similar standard to Messi

I hated back last season when Messi was struggling for form/saving himself for the world cup that pundits kept saying Ronaldo was the best player in the world. Just because Messi went through a bit of a blip doesn't mean Ronaldo is better. Ronaldo shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Messi

Jonathan Pearce and Lawro are commentating on Argentina Switzerland. Fucking dream team

I admire his total lack of ambition to be a top manager

I forget which game he said that about but a central midfielder simply cannot have a good game in a game in which you are beaten 4-0

was thinking about france aye but the bairn will only be 6.5 then...2020 is that 13 city thing that'll possibly be worth a look but there'll only probably be 2-3 games in each city world cup 2024 then, just have to stay alive long enough I'm afraid you won't be alive to see a world cup in 2024

Saw this on twitter So bad

They weren't even that good, barely finished ahead of us

Can't see Lallana being in Liverpool's first team

I think somebody else said it a few days ago but I hate Lallana for some reason. Probably because he looks like an arrogant cunt

In what universe is Roy Keane a Celtic legend?

Should be in Brazil

Is it just me or do France and Germany not play each other very often for two teams that are regularly in the later stages of competitions?

Friedel is a class pundit

Very boss. Well done Algeria

Massive respect to Algeria, serious heart from them

Kind of similar to Ronaldo's goal in the champions league final in that he has been totally shit in the game and then scores a meaningless goal

Never seen this guy before
