toon25 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Hazard retires from international football. Looked massively unfit and heavy this tournament. Strange how his form literally dropped off the face of a cliff after his move. Has to be up there as one of the worst signings in value for money in recent football history.

I know people won’t agree with me here but I always thought he was overrated to an extent Hes one of them ballers that is basically retired at 28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he moved to Madrid, he already had like 650 appearances for club and country under his belt. Lot of mileage for a then 28-year old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Yeah was gonna say he has been playing 50+ games a season pretty much from 17/18. In two of the most physically intensive leagues around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Hazard was a great player - his lack of longevity and not contributing to a CL win will damage his long-term reputation. People will look at his numbers and think he wasn't all that. But he was genuinely the best PL player or top 3 for about 5 years. He was brilliant at WC18 (better than KDB) too. Explosive and powerful players have to be managed closely. Mbappe has that explosion and it's key to his game. While Haaland is explosive, I think his best running is over longer distances which might help long-term. Currently, maybe it's WC bias but I think Mbappe is better.

I don’t think ordinary Brazilians are duty bound to give a retired footballer some sort of special status. if you saw England record goal scorer Wayne Rooney on the street would you give him any special treatment?

54 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Today is the day I finally felt proper gripped by this tournament, been very "meh" about it until this point, watching it, but not overly enthused due to the whole situation surrounding it, but been fully invested in both games today. Fuck, What a couple of games they where Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
