alpal78 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Team of the century so far presumably. Which they are, by a f***ing mile at club level. Only other close contender is the current Spain team imo as it happens. alpal your constant chelping at Barca is laughable, what's the deal? Kid who beat you up at school wore a Romario shirt or something? That's mature, so you're not allowed to question the mighty Barcelona on a forum even though none of the fan boys can really say what team of the century means...ok, just as I thought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was immature and unnecessary. To be fair to you, ya you did try to quantify the meaning of "team of the century", that's a very loose definition though given that we're only 12 years into the century and once again highlight the hyperbole and over-hype of Barcelona. At best they are the best team of the century, so far. It's not my job to prove that they are not, if you wanna give them a title, then you should be the one to prove why they deserve it. To see more examples of over-hyping Barcelona, just see Pip's and Neesy's posts above on "best team ever". These two probably have not seen football for more than 40 years and with scant respect to the great teams of the past, just throw away such accolades to Barcelona just based on their success over the lst 8-10 years. If anything such extreme positions devalues the praise that Barcelona get (when given in moderation which they rightly deserve). For record sake, I have not watched football for 40 years either, which is why I would not use labels such as "team of the century" or "best team ever" until I've gone through the history books.

Shak Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I do agree that calling them the best ever is a bit daft, there's pretty much nobody on the planet qualified to give an opinion on that. Best I've seen though, and no other teams since the turn of the century can realistically compare. The last three years they've won two Champions League titles and three domestic titles playing some wonderful technical football and scoring marvelous goal after marvelous goal. Madrid are the only other team to win the CL twice in three years since the turn of the century, and they were nowhere near as good in the league in that period as Barca have been.

At the risk of being called all sorts of names, Ronaldo's record for comparison stands at 28 goals in 23 league games. Over three seasons at Madrid, he is at 94 goals in 86 league games, that's a ratio of more than 1 goal per game over 3 seasons! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Incidentally Messi is just 13 goals away of becoming our all time top goalscorer, at age 24. Nuts. And say what you will, Messi brings much more stuff to the football pitch than Cronaldo. I can easily see him dropping into a playmaker/Zidane-ish role and still be ridiculously good when he ages and loses athleticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Penaldo just scores pens and tap ins these days. 10 pens in the league this season, give them to Benzema or Higuain instead and they'd be comfortably Madrid's top scorer. At least Zlatan who's been banging away Zenalties all season wins them through his own skill, Cron gets them handed to him by his teammates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily see him dropping into a playmaker/Zidane-ish role and still be ridiculously good when he ages and loses athleticism. Agreed. He won't lose his vision, touch or strength on the ball, if anything the first two will probably improve. Once Ronaldo loses his pace, he'll be pretty ineffective at the highest level.
