I think Messi is better but it’s close

granite notch
#

There was this superclásico in 1981 where Boca faced River in el Monumental

dull geode
#

Lol

granite notch
#

It was a game that pretty much defined who would win the league

stray talon
#
  1. CR7
  2. Pelé
  3. Messi
dull geode
#

Dribbler?

dull geode
lone owl
#

Dribbling and control better than messi really

granite notch
#

River was fulled of legends and was basically the 1978 WC winners squad. Kempes, Tarantini, Passarella, Fillol, etc.

dull geode
stray talon
#

Maradona was a better dribbler than Messi yeah

dull geode
#

He wasn't

granite notch
stray talon
#

Okay pal

dull geode
#

Messi has more successful dribbles

#

Maradona has a 51% dribble success rate 😭😭😭

granite notch
#

Maradona's era was different tho. The common mentality of a defender in the 80s was "Let's break him his ankle or otherwise we'll concede 5". The games wasn't as soft as it is now

dark nymph
#

This is why napoli fans don’t deserve nice things

granite notch
#

I think i'd also give Maradona over Messi the big matches peformances

dull geode
lone owl

#

Messi has better passing, shooting, better iq, better dribbling, better control, better vision, e.t.c

dull geode

#

Cr7 is obv better

stray talon
granite notch
#

For example, two "rivals" you could give to Maradona who were great at the time were Zico and Platini, and from 1977-1991, the only years i'd say they surpassed Maradona was Zico in 1981 and Platini in 1984 (Maradona didn't play many matches in 1982)

#

Actually, the only player who could stop Maradona who can i think of is Matthaus

lone owl
stray talon
#

Pele is easily top 5 dribblers ever

granite notch
#

The 1958 WC final goal is kinda impossible to remake

lone owl
#

Who can stop messi

stray talon
#

Who can stop Maradona, Pelé, CR7, R9 etc.

#

No body can stop them

#

They’re goats for a reason

#

Not R9 because he lacked longevity but talent wise

granite notch
stray talon
#

Yes but Maldini was different

granite notch
#

Thing is, a great forward can destroy a defence while a great defender can't stop a whole attack

granite notch
#

Xavi vs Iniesta i'd stick to Xavi simply for the 2008/09 season

lone owl
granite notch
#

Eto'o vs Henry?

lone owl
granite notch
#

Eto'o was great but Henry was probably the best player of the 2000s. Only Dinho and Buffon compares

stray talon
granite notch
#

Suárez vs Lewa is a kinda common debate tbh. I'd still stick to Suárez but Lewa might retire being better

stray talon
lone owl
granite notch
#

Salah hasn't surpassed Bale yet imo, so i don't think he'll surpass Robben either

granite notch
lone owl
#

Modric

stray talon
#

Modric

#

Brother is 37 and still balling

#

Xavi > Modric > Iniesta

granite notch
#

Benz vs Mane is kinda absurd tbh

stray talon
#

Benzema has had a very inconsistent career

#

But his accolades far outweigh manes

granite notch
#

I'd compare Mane with, idk, Sánchez or Pedro

lone owl
#

Man i miss podolski

granite notch
#

And Benz with someone like Zlatan or Agüero

stray talon

#

Ozil better, Verratti underrated

lone owl

#

Why did ozil even leave Madrid

granite notch
#

Ozil 2012 🔥

lone owl
stray talon
#

For arsenal out of everyone

granite notch
#

The guy benched Kaká

stray talon
#

Kaka wasn’t great at Madrid tbf

granite notch
#

Pique vs Ramos 💀

granite notch
foggy lion
lone owl
#

Bale

granite notch
#

Still 2018 Hazard was great. FIFPro XI, UEFA TOTY and WC TOTT

stray talon
#

Icl I don’t even like Hazard

#

But I can’t deny how good he was

#

Bale career Hazard prime

granite notch
#

2016 Bale was class tho, took Wales to an euros semifinal

stray talon
#

I started watching football properly in 2018

#

So idk

#

But I’m pretty sure hazard 16/17 was better

granite notch
#

Fair enough

#

The rest keep getting more and more absurd tbh

stray talon
#

Lmfao that’s so shit

tiny python
#

Kroos better

#

Thats like comparing mctominay with kante

granite notch
#

Ig this is an overall career comparison so
Thiago Silva clear of Marquinhos
Griez > Dybala
Reus > Pogba
Maldini megaclear of Koeman
Beckenbauer and Nesta shouldn't be on the same sentence
Marcelo clear of Alba

tiny python
#

Pogba> reus

granite notch
tiny python
#

who even is the other guy?

#

Eriksen and casemiro are better than both

bro this chat

stray talon

😂😂😂

tiny python
#

Who do yall think is the better player: vardy or rashford?

stray talon
#

Vardy

#

Rashford is poo

tiny python
#

not based off recent form

stray talon
#

Although rashford would work well in a system like Vardy played in

stray talon
tiny python
#

exactly rashford had much more potential if he was managed properly under ralf and ole

#

ralf ruined rashford

#

put the nail in the coffin while erik is trying to revive him

tiny python
#

Depends on current form we will see the debate reach its end by the end of the season

tbh Ralf was one of the realest ManU managers

He was shit for like 2 years

Ralf was supposed to be the director of football no

stray talon
#

Yeah

#

Then Murtough said fuck that

subtle patio
#

then left / got fired and got the job for austria

stray talon
#

And the Glazers listened

#

He literally could’ve done both at the same time

#

And we would’ve gotten Laimer 😭

#

Halaands a tap in merchant

stray talon
#

That hurts me so much Fr

#

Laimer would be perfect

subtle patio
stray talon
#

There’s a reason no one else is doing it like him

#

Mbappe still clear though

subtle patio
stray talon
#

That makes

#

0 sense

#

Mbappe is better + less injury prone

subtle patio
#

I just like Haaland better lol

stray talon
#

Personality wise?

subtle patio
#

yeah

stray talon
#

Eh

#

I rate what Mbappe has done tbh

subtle patio
#

haaland is just funny to watch

stray talon
#

Fair

subtle patio
#

but tbf mbappe's ''gini wjijnaldum'' is also funny

stray talon
#

Lmfao

#

OOOOHHH, AH NO

zealous drum
#

haaland has everthing

#

hes determined, strong, unselfish, rich asf but not arrogant. Winning mentality.

#

mbappe barely has half those

stray talon
#

😭😭

#

Mbappe isn’t determined wtf

#

He should be arrogant

#

His the most talented footballer rn

zealous drum
#

i guess that can be debatable

#

imo i like haaland better. He dont attack his teammates verbally when they dont pass to him

stray talon
#

Mbappe needs to be more of a team player yeah

#

But he’s still young

#

People forget he’s not even in his mid twenties

#

Just because his footballing ability is more developed than most in their primes

#

Doesn’t mean his personality will be

#

Also Mbappe has more to his game

#

So he can hold the ball more

#

Haaland with the ball is no where near as technically gifted

#

But his IQ is probably higher

I’d rather have Martinez than Alaba

#

Alaba may be better

#

But I’d rather have Lisandro

granite notch
#

Lisandro Martínez or Cristian Romero?

#

Romero

#

Done it for longer

vast sandalBOT

Do you see someone or a message which breaks our rules? react with the :sos: emoji on their message to report it to us!

in current form Martinez > Romero

yeah but who should start in Qatar?

so depends if he's able to stay consistent

Yes you can

And if you don’t want to

#

Lmao the sync

#

I'd have Martínez as the first sub whenever one of these gets a yellow

stray talon
#

Nah you literally can’t bench Lisandro

#

He’s insane

granite notch
#

Still, the CB duo hasn't change for like 2 years, i wouldn't change it by now

stray talon
#

Nothing wrong with it just wondering

granite notch
stray talon
#

A lot of managers are like that

granite notch
#

I mean, Argentina has never conceded while Martínez, Otamendi and Romero being on the pitch

stray talon
#

Is there a theory behind not changing a winning team

#

Like mentally

granite notch
#

Emi Martínez

stray talon
#

Oh

#

Lmao

granite notch
#

Every time Emiliano Martínez was on the goal and Otamendi and Romero were the CB duo, Argentina never conceded a single goal

#

While Lisandro only had a few matches starting when Romero was injured back in jan

stray talon
#

Like literally

#

0 goals?

#

Who was their best opponent?

granite notch
#

Yeah, 0 goals

ok it's just Alderweireld and vertonghen that moved back to their country's league

i'm stuck between France, Belgium and maybe Portugal

subtle plover
#

and france

covert solstice

#

belgium's golden gen did get their higest ever world cup finish, so there's that

covert solstice
#

And England got SGE, Capello and Hodgson

flat moth
#

Belgium should have won euro 2016 imo

subtle plover
#

no trophy but romania's golden gen didn't win anything either

Euro 2016 was their best chance to win anything

covert solstice
#

Absolutely glorious

subtle plover
#

then he got a contract

#

and was never heard of again

belgium is like indonesia
no matter how good they are, we all know they're gonna bottle it

covert solstice

#

belgium after 2002 didn't exist

#

for 10 years

onyx orbit
subtle plover
#

would be hilarious if france lose to an australian team whose best generation is long gone

flat moth
#

France’s team has too much politics in it rn

onyx orbit
#

cus like, with the level of their squad, they should be destroying everyone in this WC cycle, but they choked in the EUROS and didn't show any improvement over their issues since

flat moth
subtle plover
#

also they're relying a lot on several of their players from the 2018 world cup winning squad

covert solstice
#

France are 100% getting grouped

onyx orbit
#

their defense is still very messy and their squad keeps building up drama and all that

subtle plover
#

and we know how well that same thing worked for france 2002, italy, spain and germany

flat moth
#

France rn are kinda like psg last season

#

HOW

#

HOW DID THAT HAPPEN???

subtle plover
#

in some sense I don't know what to expect of france

#

if they progress, expected

#

if they don't, then also expected

subtle plover
#

in fairness it was on paper, and it made sense

onyx orbit
subtle plover
#

yeah, then there was uh

onyx orbit
#

i dare to name even one of the players in those 3 squads

subtle plover
#

Japan Belgium Russia Tunisia in 2002

flat moth
subtle plover
#

Paraguay: Oscar cardozo, justo villar

#

that's all I remember

#

I don't even remember who scored in the group stage

#

oh right

#

Alcáraz

onyx orbit
subtle plover
#

slovakia: Hamsik, Vittek, Weiss, Mucha, Kopunek, Skrtel

flat moth
#

Pogba will miss the wc right

subtle plover
#

new zealand: winston reid, shane smeltz, chris wood, mark paston

onyx orbit
subtle plover
#

that's who I remember from those teams off the top of my head

#

oh and ryan nelsen from NZ

#

oh santa cruz played in 2010 kekw

#

also lucas barrios was there

onyx orbit
#

what...

#

THEY WEREN'T EVEN CHAMPIONS THAT TIME

subtle plover
#

that was when the france squad went on strike mid tournament

flat moth
#

Ye

subtle plover
#

yeah it was quite something that's for sure

stark narwhal
subtle plover
#

and then after the tournament the entire squad got suspended from the national team for a bit

onyx orbit
#

and did they just not play?

flat moth
subtle plover
#

no they played, but they were terrible

stark narwhal
#

oh

subtle plover
#

their only goal was a consolation goal

#

anelka got substituted at half time against mexico

#

and he said some bad words to domenech

#

so then after the match there was a big dispute and then the entire team refused to train

onyx orbit
#

Mbappe goes on strike due to image rights 🥶🥶🥶

flat moth
#

Won’t be surprised

onyx orbit
#

also, can't believe the FFF actually folded to his demands

flat moth
#

Mbappe has feuds with giroud and grizou still

flat moth
subtle plover
#

he thinks because he is THE face of pissG

#

that means he thinks he is THE face of france too

flat moth
#

He the face of france too tbh

#

Him and Benzema

onyx orbit
#

@flat moth So i made a new Brazil XI after the tactical changes seen so far in this international break

flat moth
subtle plover
#

did bremer commit to brazil yet

onyx orbit
#

10

flat moth
#

Oh

onyx orbit
subtle plover
#

good

onyx orbit
#

Ibañez too

#

there was a risk of both Italy and Uruguay trying to quickscope him

subtle plover
#

italy looking for more foreign players because they have trouble giving actual italians a run-in

onyx orbit
flat moth
#

Has Pedro played for brazil ever before

#

He is cooking for flamengo
But idk how it will be to call him up with the world cup so close now

onyx orbit
flat moth
#

Or some time in the past?

onyx orbit
flat moth
#

Oh lol

onyx orbit
#

Tite really likes him tho, he's the closest thing we have to a classic n°9

flat moth
#

Yeah

onyx orbit
#

so that sets him apart from the likes of Firmino and Cunha (who he's currently competing against)

flat moth
#

Jesus never become a natural 9

#

Richarlison too

#

Cunha doesn’t seem that special to me

#

& firmino seems past his best

onyx orbit
#

Richarlison and Gabriel Jesus are obviously the main CF picks, and if Tite trusts him, i guess i've gotta give it a chance

flat moth
#

Ye

#

Tite will leave after the wc

#

Right

onyx orbit
#

yea

flat moth
#

Who will replace him

#

Diniz?

onyx orbit
#

yet to be decided

flat moth
#

Oh

flat moth
#

True

They literally saying premier league is the hardest league and other leagues are farmers💀so literally point 90% of the football clubs are farmers

#

At this point it’s totally delusional

flat moth
#

Those people are just trolls

#

Ignore em

subtle plover
#

that is what you call "the most intelligent premier league customer"

#

but these people don't watch football so they get all their "info" from twitter

onyx orbit
#

#

Brasileirao clear 1st, ig argentine league 2nd, Liga MX 3rd, and then it's kinda even. Africa has great teams in Morocco and Egypt, AFC has the J-League, and finally SA has Ecuador's league and paraguayan league who are also pretty competitive

Mls is far from that

#

They are so bad. The quality is lacking and the ones they got are from Europe.

#

Disrespectful to those leagues, Redcard

subtle plover
#

In truth mls has better marketing than most leagues which makes it look better than it actually is

Never forget zlatan claiming but failing to conquer mls

How far could zlatan carry them ?

He claimed to carry them though

He did carry them

To what exactly

#

Do you also think hr carried milan or something

Yes that was based giroud

Maybe he could have been a leader in the dressing room

Maybe

#

But it was a giroud masterclass

crystal marsh

Has giroud scored in every milan derby?

#

I think he has

Like the season he did in Ligue 1

#

Monaco winning the league
