Guest firetotheworks Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Italy 7 - 1 England Ouch. Just goes to how quickly things change. A few years ago we had 2 teams in the CL final and Serie A was in turmoil. Serie A is still s*** but the PL has dipped in quality drastically since Mourinho and Ronaldo left. Only because those two left? Get out of here. Both of them leaving meant a downturn in quality for me. Man United haven't been challenged anywhere near as much since imo. Ronaldo was the gem in the PL. No player has been anywhere near to his influence since. Not even Rooney or RVP. Hang on, Man Utd were spanked by Barcelona with Ronaldo in their side in the CL final and Chelsea were in the final of CL without Mourinho. Not all down to them, but two of many people leaving that hasn't helped. I'm just making a point that they coincided, barca beating a team proves nothing more than how unbelievable they've been since then. They also destroyed Real Madrid, managed by Mourinho, with Ronaldo in the team! I'm just saying that Mourinho upped the ante in the PL when he arrived, and Ronaldo was and is the second best player in the world. You'd be daft to say that the league wouldn't be much better quality at the top with them in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe_next_year Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 unlucky for Porto to have that dissallowed like. Not really, bloke was clearly offside. but it was hard to tell if he actually touched the ball on first viewing, could easily of been seen as not interfering with play.
