Kroos is better than all of them sadly
For good reason
Donāt touch my glorious king pedri
You should thank us for that, olmo was better than him
Omds i remember Barcelona fans begging for olmo and Williams after the euros
you made us spend 60 million euros on fuckass olmo
Olmo saved spain bc the Pedri injury
yo who is williams
never heard of him
Damn bro
He's an inconsistent bum anyways
His international performance is good tho fair play to him
unai simón and nico williams being dogshit for bilbao and turning up for spain š„
Basically Adeyemi, except he is only good for dortmund
Icl Adeyemi is class for dortmund
Isnt Adeyemi like 28
national team merchants
??š
Pace merchant
He's 23
same thing
I would choose 3 midfielders outside the list, that being Boszik, Platini, Maradona
Old ah
Yeah I am not really moved by those on the list
Kroos MatthƤus Schweinsteiger idgaf about the names on the list
Schweinsteiger?? Not ballack?
I imagine Bridesmaid Ballack doesn't have the rep in Germany
Hi
Yeah his image is kinda taunted because for people around my age, the first impression of him back then was him being dropped by Lƶw and his crashout because of it
He also was at
which disqualifies him for me by default
To be a top player in Germany, you basically have to have a trophy with the national team
Hmm then what about ozil
Massive twat
š
xavi, kdb and pogba

šØ Real Madrid considered Ibrahima Konate but inform Liverpool they have no interest in signing France intāl. 26yoās unresolved #LFC contract situation could still go either way. That + loads more on Jan/summer markets in @TheAthleticFC Transfer Radar 2026 https://t.co/hD7lYaxpJt
All that running down of his contract for nothing
š
@cyan egret @idle canyon please keep the level of conversations here better, than just calling players ass or bumsš
Use proper arguments & reasonings
I don't get why Madrid are interested in Konate.
Saliba I can get
Sorry, typo
Well he renewed already with Arsenal
Konate was available
Now they have dropped him from their list
Will probably be upa next
this is it
2 city defenders ?
Still a bad move imo
in hindsight they probably wish they should have taken it
Its a free hit lad
Oh well like that
Its fine
Then
Still you could get rice maybe instead of gibbs white
when did this happen š
January 2024 transfer rumours
they both made mistakes lol
he wasnt this bad at the time
but still 80m is crazy
that too form bayern
well both misjudged him this time
fr
At the time Araujo was still considered great but yeah that price is a little crazy
New Daily Question:
Itās not
U playing chelsea a hard game
Meh
Im kinda confident
We did beat bayern that didnt lose a single game this season
But we will see what happends
It was at your home, chelsea one will be away
thats true but it wouldnt be first time that we won at their ground
Ye it won't be but away games against your rivals are always difficult
especially now i think we are even stronger than previous years
Matter of fact, both of you are coming with a good form
yeah thats true
we will see what happends on sunday
hopefully we can secure a win
Whoever scores first like your last game, they will get the edge
Tbf chelsea record against you have been shit in last 5 years
Their last win was at Emirates rather than Stamford bridge
U are welcome PSG
Ramos is underrated because of Dembele
Ramos should be starting somewhere else
Luis Campos effect
Future looking good too
Campos gonna sign half of them to Paris
Our investment in youth is showing great results
The shape goes into the shape press that presses the shape into a pressed shape
Thatās crazy innit
Talk about football
theyre going to wolves first
True forgot the original portugal talent hoarders
The Portuguese manager didn't work out with wolves smh

he did at first tbf
Did he say that
Not the first time we beat a 10 man west midlands club 3-0 and got their manager sacked
@subtle rock would know
Interressing
I don't believe there are any journalists today in serie a
Italian Journalists are on strike today
Yeah even Spaletti's press conference got cancelled cuz of that
Today?
There was one in beginning of November
Was supposed to be today or tomorrow idr
But ya heard it got cancelled
Infact
I didn't know Journalist strike exist
gimme underrated ballers that played in 2010S
i dont wanna hear lingard or dele ali
like el shawarma level ballers
Lucas Moura
he used to be balling in 2018
2019 hat teick vs ajax
El shawarma is crazy š
I will always classify di Maria as underrated no matter how much people try to appreciate him today lol
Right before his move to United he was becoming one of the best players in the world
He was world class for most of his time in Madrid & PSG
Very good at Juve & Benfica as well
Argentina everyone knows, huge reason for 2021 & 2022 successes
Most bang average winger with a great performance
Dzeko is the most underrated player for me i guess
Dod it in 3 of europs top 5 leaguee, brought Bundesliga to Wolfsburg and his longevity overall is insane
He could have been the next big thing but I heard in Milan they kind of hid his need to go to rehab constantly
The fact everyone says heās underrated now makes him not underrated anymore
Maybe Arturo Vidal for bayern was underrated as much as he runs his mouth
Yh very underrated career overall
Was successful in Bundesliga, Premier League & Serie A
Winning trophies in all 3
While playing great
Yes exactly, great overall play and did what he could as a team player
Nah vidal wasnāt underrated
Kids nowadays dont talk about him much though
But back then he wasnt
Yeah thats what happened with vidao
Iād say forgotten
Idk who was underrated for our club really
Niklas Sule pre injuries was actually on course to be one of the best CBs
Javi Martinez
Bayern fans used to rate Javi fairly from what I remember
But other clubs fans didnāt rate him fairly
Van Buyten is one forgotten name today
Jesus even that I didn't think about
I know him cause of my dad
Yeah this is true nobody really rated him as high as they should've he was great
Hans Jorg Butt. Everyone forgets he was our keeper at one point. He might know him too.
Prolly yeah. But idk him
Giovane Elber very forgotten & Underrated as well
Though I would say thats due to him playing in 90ās & early 2000ās
Elber wa class
Unfortunately for Elber the squad in Brazil was insane so he never got the chances to shine there but he would've for sure. Amazing baller dor many years. I have a shirt with him on it
For*
Had made this trivia question for him #gamesroom message few months back, no person in the server got it right lol
Very forgotten player
Despite being a pretty big bayern legend
No bayern fan i know here/barely any outside and general fans know him which sucks
I have him on the shirt and people ask me who it is
Was one of the best players of the 2001 ucl winning team
Big bayern legend in general
He was also Mullerās Idol growing up
He was part of what made early 2000s ball great. But yes a big legend for us who should be rated higher
I saw this and people asked who? Lmao
I found it interesting that he didnt choose a german player
Not being a brazil regular player a part I suppose
Yes, squad was so stacked
Bit he could've killed it with Brazil still
World class
Every club would dream to have a player like Elber today yet nobody remembers or mentions his name.
funny how elber won a UCL properly with big contribution
While R9 never got a ucl medal(though he got to celebrate with the trophy)
& Rivaldo wasnt a massive contributor in 2003 Milanās win in comparison either
Yet they both were superior players & way ahead of him in Brazilian pecking order
Guess also theyeam diidn't recognize it or rate/pay attention to the Bundesliga much idk
But yeah still those players were untouchables i guess
dk about overrated,
But he gets way too much credit in comparison to his teammates
Maybe it was a double sided thingd for Elber. Massive contributor, but Brazilian in Germany so less attention paid to him as other club legends. But also playing in germany, less recognition from the Brazilian team
Yh
2001 ucl final
I guess being born in 2001 was a sign I was going to be a fan of bayern.
at his prime he was the best box to box midfielder tbh
insane player
Underrated players for me are: Keylor Navas, JesĆŗs Navas, Scott Parker, Dimitar Berbatov, Nani, Eric GarcĆa, Peter Crouch, Marcos Llorente, De Gea
he cooked us 2017
jesus navas yeah kaylor nah, he was well known for the threepeat ucl
and degea is lit well known
Jesus Navas transition to the back and longevity isnt discussed enough especially as class as he was throughout
De Gea was constantly a top GK itw I agree underrated and Navas too
The fact that he was sold is insane
All the talk about "traditional shot stopper he can't play with his feet" disrespecting a club legend like that, who saved them time and time again and singlehandedly rose their placing in the prem was insane. They got their replacement, and we can all see how it turned out.
Heās still class, onana shouldve never left inter aswell
What do you think of Samuel Kuffour
Heās from the same nationality as me š
Thinking of African players who do not get mentioned, nobody ever talks about Roger Milla??
mmm.. Maybe Seydou Keita?
One of Guardiolas favourites when he was at Barca
agreed
I didnāt watch him enough or ever researched on him much
But he was a regular in those bayern teams so he must have been pretty good only yeah
When I was a kid he used to be talked about plenty by old heads reminiscing about 1990 & 1994 world cups
Nowadays he seems to be forgotten
Probably because people who watched 1990 & 1994 world cup live are lower in number & less active on social media
Especially as a part of football discourse
He was pretty underrated as well yeah
eric garcia
For the Bayern side im familiar with Eiber, Kuffour, Hargreaves and Kahn
The rest I donāt know much about š

forest mentioned
That loan move was so random lol
Just know in 5 years some YouTuber will make a video āfootball transfers you had no idea happenedšØā & Navas to Forest would be in it
Who invited parker
The GOAT lifting the final ever Cup Winners Cup trophy at Villa Park.
In terms of peak, he is possibly the no. 1 goaly for Germany
NESTA
what year was it?
yeah haha
Is there any good games to watch today
Can y'all recommend me any
Smth rivals or derby games
Any league
i think arsenal vs chelsea is this weekend
not sure if today
but that is going to be a huge game
two most in form prem teams and also a derby
Yup it's not today sadly
Palmeiras vs Flamengo
Libertadores final
Ohhh
I think it's worth it even tho it will be at 11pm in my timezone

š„š„
98/99
Lazioš
Hate that club
For a second I thought that was bvb
š
New Daily Question:
tanks for vid idea
we won that
š„
dont even bother
everythingās set up for flamengo to win
Let's not forget Victor Wanyama going to Dunfermline lol
Tyler Adam should be nominated for the puskas award if he doesnāt then it will be a pure robbery
Same with McTominay and Kieran Tierney
Navad played at forrest?
Hubert really new to footballš
Yes
Like 2023?
Yeah
Wtf how
Where is he at now
PSG loaned him to forest in second half of 2022-23 season as Donnarumma became main number 1
Ohhh it was only a loan
Yeah was short but he did
Did he even Play
Yes for 2nd half of 22-23 season
He was forest main keeper
Those 6 months
Played around 15-20 PL games
in 6 months
So almost all of them
The magic of the Scottish Cup
Non league sides Auchinleck Talbot and Camelon Juniors knock out League 2 strugglers Dumbarton and Edinburgh City to go through to the next round
cup winners' cup was the only polish european final šÆļø
Lech?
I am proud of the progress we have made
in this decade maybe
Thatās literally what it says
it says last decade so last 10 years ?
this decade is from 2020 onwards
In the last decade, so the last 10 years
Last decade not "this decade"
So since 2015
Last 10 years as a whole
yea portugal where NOT the best eu nt since 2015
france where better
We literally won more trophies then them
Thatās the whole point of the article
Most decorated = most honours
France has only won the World Cup, Portugal won the Euros and 2 Nations Leagues
We also won the u17 euros and world cup
how ?
only the euros and nations league now what other major trophy ?
that isnt that significant
What else has France won
france also won the 2020/21 nations league
wc more significant than the euros
alright tied then
my opinion tho is france has been the most successfull european team this past decade
3 trophies to 2 doesn't mean they're tied lol
i dint count the u-17
2 nations leagues and the 2016 Euros
š
u can say so then
i got caught lacking š f
but still france for me has been better
Even if you didn't count the first one, there'd be a three-way tie between France, Spain and Portugal
hmm yea spain are relevent too
any ref available ?
It literally is
That is the entire point
You canāt just cherry pick what you think is important or not
With football elitists, they choose what they want
Like these pricks who say that if you haven't won a UCL, you're irrelevant
At least with these kinds of takes I know who to block so I don't have to read their nonsense again
The quicker they out themselves the better
Final ā¤ļø
We eating good this weekend
Weekend football never disappoints
Couldn't have said it better
Anyways, all focus on the next match
hes leaving your club
Newest member of the club of players to win the Champions League and Copa Libertadores ā„ļøš¤

Bot on a tagging mission
Tbh watching this final was bit boring
Barely any shots on target
who won
Flamengo
ah
For me it was most boring final I ever seen
6 players in the goal box defending with GK with both sides
And only goal was from corner kick cross and just header
Haramball final bosses
was it more boring than Real Madrid vs Liverpool 2022?
You haven't watched many finals
It wasn't even the worst Libertadores final involving Palmeiras
Liverpool v Spurs was even worse
No this ucl Final clears
I like goalkeeper actions
No goalkeeper actions = boring final for me
Alisson performance in that game was all I needed to watch in that final
Otherwise it would be boring
But yeah kinda agree that it's maybe worse than 2022 final
I'm huge gk position fan
Fair
well yeah
courtois was crazy in the final
so you got a point there
Watch getafe vs mallorca
Its worse
Yes bro my goated haramball
It wasnāt that boring, courtoisās performance made the game much better
yeah
Imagine being an Arsenal fan
They are in a very incredible moment where they seem set to win a league title after 22 years while playing the absolute best team in europe.
Itās a very good time period currently to be an Arsenal fan.
Football is also weak this year.
We have Chelsea in second place in the PL
That bayern is called "best itw" yet only has like 4 actual top tier players
And Arsenal the actual best top team itw plays a CDM as a ST
Football this year looks very weak
Yeah of course, competition is on the lower end & Arsenal have an advantage due to that in comparison to previous years, but still at the end of the day winning is winning.
& they look very comfortably placed to be Premier League winners after 22 years
If they dont win it this year theyāre never winning it
Probably lol
I cant see anyone stopping them currently lol
Everything is perfectly platformed for them to win the league
If they dont do it now, they will never understand Arteta
Negligible quality competition
Incredible defence, midfield with one of the best wingers in the world
Great depth
Their depth is insane
i think its the saudi effect
so many players in saudi could have still been playing since 2023
like why the hell did we lose Theo, Milinkovic Savic, etc
Yeah
Yea yea I I know
in the late 00s and early 2010s with wenger there were many times where this title winning narrative with arsenal happened so im still skeptic
never seen them dominate this much though i guess
even though in the late 00s there were some fine squads
Rosicky, Nasri, Vermaelen, Van Persie, Arshavin, Fabregas, Casorla etc
Canāt wait for arsenal vs Chelsea this will be a great match
MY HOMETOWN MIGHT BE CHAMPIONSš we are in 2nd place won 4-1 today in away game
Tbilisi?
We have one last game left against the 4th place team Dinamo Tbilisi If we win against them and then Iberia 1999 draw or loose we will be championsš
Nah my hometown team is called Dila Gori FC
You can tell I know fuck all about Georgia lol
I am just telling xd we haven't won the georgian league since 2015
Now we have a fucking chance
I just known Dynamo is the only Georgian team to win a European trophy
They won it in 1981
European cup
This was our prime players
Cup Winners Cup*
Yeah
What's country ?
š¬šŖ
Brooo we are also In Georgian Cup final as well facing the 1st place club𤣠WE MIGHT WIN A TREBLE
Last time we won an actual trophy was in 2015
This year we won the Georgian super cup
And now we have a chance to win a domestic treble
35 leagues games ?
Yup. 2 games home 2 games away
Same in the Scottish lower leagues
36 game season, twice at home and twice away
Only exception is the Premiership because of the split
Play 33 games then another 5 depending where you finished
Yup
what a sight š„¹
we are 7 places clear of liverpool
New Daily Question:
#daily-question message
What has happened to mac allister tho
2 pts off top 3 and chelsea play arsenal...there is a chance guys
yess there is hope š„ š„
we just shouldnt bottle from here and lose like 3 games in a row
now we can play west ham with confidence
Away?
no at home
0:1 incoming
for us š¤
its on my birthday as well i just realized
they better not disappoint me
You're getting disappointed
What a 24 hours.
Flamengo win the Libertadores for a Brazilian record 4th time.
Villa win the West Midlands Derby to go top 4.
Then I see my beloved Viking win their first title in my life time.
IN OUR F'ING DREAMS
Does the norwegian champion qualify for ucl or do you must play the play-offs ?
Playoffs. I think there is almost zero chance we qualify
Europa League maybe
U have been in great form !
The same way Bodo surprised many i am sure Viking can do the same !
Will it be the first time you see them in the ucl if they qualify ?
Yes 92/93 was last time
Well i really hope they qualify boo
Good to have newer teams in the ucl
Upsets are always fun to see
real madrid failed to win bruh
āYou beat 10 men Barcelonaā
So why couldnāt you beat 10 men Chelsea?š¤
Real
Now itās āyou spent 2b and only had 10 menā or some shi
Thereās always something to say like piss off man

i still dont know if the penalty was fair
they're not winning anything this season š
I hope Syria win
Syria missing their best striker due to K League Pro/Rel Playoffs is big
Tunisia with B national team
still their domestic league is good
I mean look at this
Yeah but last game between them in arab cup 21 syria won 2-0
I know only Mouhamad Anez lol
Seven Swedish league players will play in the Arab Cup 2025

whats going on ?
world cup draw this week
I really wanna see a crazy group of death
It would make the world cup worth to watch at 2 am haha
crazy group of deaths are a thing of the past now that there are 48 teams
64 teams is inevitable isn't it
it will happen surely in a while
Blame Italy. FIFA are terrified a big nation misses out š
š
it can still happen even if it's less likely
nah pot 2-4 dont have any very big nations
they should let all nations in atp , maybe romania qualifies š
just dark horse teams
italy might be in pot 4, but atp they are worse than dark horse level teams
I haven't looked at the pots recently
yeah true
norway is still pot 3?
Yes
not to mention 8 out of 12 third place teams will qualify for ro32 as well
group stages have less jeopardy this time
knockouts may have more though due to the addition of round of 32
not rn
ok
imo this format ruined the world cup's fun
i dont remember if they are in playoffs
its fine
just a lack of jeopardy in group stages
a year after the world cup
meh I liked seeing big teams being grouped 
now it's less likely to happen considering the ro32 addition
in that case yeah worse for the people who like seeing big teams getting grouped
šdon't blame me but it was fun seeing japan top a group over spain and eliminating germany
yeah those few minutes when spain and germany both were on verge of getting grouped was peak
then morocco's run in ko's going till the semis as well
yeah
i couldn't believe that morocco eliminated both spain and portugal
elite defence
germany getting 4th place in their group in 2018 wc 
i remember that sonny goal against germany
yeah neuer was pushing up
searching desperately for a goal
son got the opportunity for the easy goal
yeah, insane dark horses
costa rica was unlucky
losing on pens
they could have made it to the semis
yeah
them topping the group of death was even more crazy
everyone expected them to be bottom in that group
italy and england got grouped there
insane how england didn't win any matchesš
england were ass in 2014 yeah
most people expected them to get grouped pre tournament as well
italy and uruguay were better heading into the tournament
in the end it was costa rica and uruguay who made out
suarez bit chiellini as well
Yeah England from like 12-18 had a pretty mediocre team overall
2018 they did amazing tbh. Not sure why revisionists seem to think otherwise
2014 group D genuinely might be the craziest group of the modern era
can extend it to 2007 as well
Probably yeah
2008 euros failed to qualify
2010 world cup lost in ro16(albeit robbed of a goal)
2012 euros lost in quarters
2014 world cup grouped
2016 euros lost in ro16 to iceland
horrid era for england nt
southgate era gets trolled so much but in comparison must have felt like heaven to englishmen
My club, Unión Española, has relegated to the second division of chilean football.
š
We hadn't relegated in 28 years.
U guys lost the last 3??!
ok its fine at least u guys arent last, last i check it was iquique
euro 2024 final is a good achievement
very good
Same as 2021 basically
we lost against direct rivals limache too
an absolute disaster of a season
im kinda depressed bro
this my family club
all the way up from my late grandpa
wait are yall last?
we all gone to the stadium, ever since a child
i saw them win in 2013 in the stadium, beautiful memory
ooh ik that feeling
my local club is doing quite well actl (only 8 teams) but still
Champs in 2023
whats ur club?
Superteam XI
my goat nedved is there
so 10/10
also the other goat nesta is there
which makes it 11.5
is that simeone i see
I believe Inzaghi's brother also played for Lazio
Favalli, Mihajlovic, Nesta, Pancaro, Peruzzi, Veron, Stankovic, Simeone, Conceicao, Nedved, Crespo.
I think from top left to bottom right.
Mihajlovic, Conceicao, Stankovic are all ballers
Conceicao is the only one I'm not sure of in the pic. But not sure who else it would be from that time
Oh I think it's Claudio Lopez
Simeone hasn't really changed in looks xd
its ok we're winning wc26
like in the past 59 years?
Albirex niigata in singapore premier league
not but this time seriously
you know it would actually funny if we (germany) and england face off in the final with england winning while being coached by a german
however i don't see us going to the final right now
i wouldn't sleep on argentina actually
i think england, germany, brazil, argentina are on a par
i think its pretty even between us and argentina actually '
i dont think messi is quite as good as he was last time and he probably couldnt play 90 minutes in every game
yo
Tunisia is super attacking in early minutes
New Daily Question:
#daily-question message
Best teams at set pieces in europe:
- Arsenal
- Midtjylland
- Crystal Palace
- Man Utd
- Wolfsburg
This is right now.
Agree?
I'd have Villa in there.
I wld have, but they only scored 6 so far this season
But they are easily top 10
That's surprising. We scored 5 in 3 games
what about birmingham city

atleti is great in setpieces
When you guys think of micah richards, do you guys think of what could have been
he was fast, big, defensively good
I think he was a bit overrated defensively
No
No
Injuries ruined his career early
But wasnāt ever close to world class even at his peak
He was a very decent rb for the very top level teams still
But nothing more
he was 19ish too so i think without his injuries heād be a good centre back
idk hos to explain it
but i think heād be a level under the likes of ruben diss
dias
The one teenage star I am absolutely confident would've gone on to be in the next tier after Messi/Ronaldo had he avoided injuries.
Micah Richards had a great career
not all players are supposed to be world class, nor does it mean that they aren't memorable and did well in their careers
2007-2009 Pato was set to be generational
FIFA covers, PR, all of it
man I miss pato
The guy who broke through prime barca's defence with 3 touches
I mean imagine R9
Even with injuries he is already regarded as one of the best ST ever
Imagine if he never had his injuries or his condition
Adriano
Jack Wilshere
Eduardo da Silva (extremely tragic story)
Sturridge
Are other names that come to mind
Remember all of them being hyped and showing promise.
One that also comes to mind but not because of injury but attitude was Drenthe in Real Madrid
Wilshere did have his time at the spotlight, albeit short
great player on his prime tbh
Sturridge had his stint at Liverpool with Brendan Rodgers, that trio in attack was lethal
Suares, Sturridge and Coutinho
Drenthe never had a prime, shit all the way through, i think he tried making hiphop and retired very early
not a bad player, didnt he come to real the year of the galacticos in 2009? with karim, cr7 and xabi among others
Drenthe had the big hype from the U21s tournament
Why people aren't talking a lot in here ?
We asked for the channel then we should use it or it's will get deleted again
Quality over quantity
This channel is for football opinions and chatting without the constant Madrid vs BarƧa debates
Aboubakar still plays ?
Had no idea
And what a striker
OK I'll try to initiate conversation
who are the top 10 footballers in the world by overall ability right now? Make your lists
Honesty this year overall quality seems lower then other years
Fofana

And Lamine
Ik i cooked
It's because of his behavior
That's what Cameroun fans are saying in Twitter
And he's not that great
in the world? that's too much!
there are too many skilled footballers
I'll try tho
Joao Neves
Vitinha
Mbappe
Haaland
Kimmich
Kane
Nuno Mendes
Pedri
Bastoni
Olise
I would say Alisson but he has been injured a lot.
Hakimi should be on this list
He is out for a few months
He could be back for AFCON and he's still one of the best
opinion warning
Vanaken,
Lobotka,
De Jong,
Olise,
Imaz,
Eze,
SkóraÅ,
Wojtuszek,
Kane,

- Affengruber 2. Cucho Hernandes 3. Pere Milla 4. Gabriel Suaso 5. Ounahi 6. Pulisic 7. Leao 8. JuliÔn 9. Tomori 10. Aarón Escandell
None of them are top 3000
impact on winning when added to a typical team
good question though
Lol

A huge talent that should join a bigger club next summer
I think it's not hard to say that's he one of the best player in his position for his age
Me and Mbuemox9
Keep this low quality chats out of this channel
Let me actually think
Alvarez is easily top 20
About 10 players
Joao Neves
Vitinha
Barcola
Mbuemo
Bunny Shaw
Svilar
Dujan Richards
Ekitike
Ndiaye
Antony
nice to see Joao neves getting number 1 multiple times
Canāt deny heās raw talent
Everyone speaks about Antony but i've followed Betis games for a while in the season and imo Cucho is more vital
Fornals is also very important, and well Amrabat
BellerĆn, very underrated
people think he disappeared after Arsenal and failing at barca but he found steady footing in Real Betis
hmm well in terms of impact, at least for their current team, and current performances this season, all the 10 players mentioned have been important, won their teams important points and given excellent performances
Heās class, I love midfielders like him. Small players who just boss the midfield. Just bulldogs who have an insane work rate. One moment theyāre putting in a crunching tackle the other theyāre playing a key pass or, in his case, dropping one of the best hat tricks Iāve ever seen
Yes he is
Vtinha, neves, ndiaye, kane, daamsgard, yamal, oryazabal, mbappe, reece james, wirtz
not in order btw
Antony is the goat
Mbappe playing golf š
Get it, guys?
In my opinion, Courtois has the highest abiliy out of any player, not just keepers. You can expect him to perform every single game cause that's how high he raises the bar, his ability to perform in big games clicks in an instant, in a very good way.
At his penalty rate he might as well be
Mbappe, Vitinha, Haaland, Kane, Nuno, McTominay, Caicedo, Olise, Joan Garcia, Pedri or Hakimi once they start playing again
Joan Garcia mentioned
He's class
mine was not in order btw
Neither was mine

4 European trophies -all in the space of 6 years, but no domestic league title. Are there any other clubs to have a weird stat like this?
Chelsea in the last 6 years
Last domestic trophy for them was 2018 FA Cup
Chelsea have been Champions of England 6 times though
Oh overall
Probably none
the 'in the space of 6 years' was more meant as that they did it in a short burst, rather than it being especially relevant. It just seems weird to do so well in Erope but hae literally zero league title
Villarreal have 1 trophy & its europa league
Oh yeah!
I suppose modern day Sevilla is close. Very good in Europe but only 1 league title in the 40s
Yh
Atalanta kinda similar
But iirc they have a couple of domestic trophies
In ancient times

laser light show and tifo I worked on pre derby š„
Legendary team
Chiesaš„¹
The players this squad had are too good
Buffon, Thuram, Cannavaro, Dino Baggio, Veron, Crespo, Chiesa..
Easily th best tifo I was apart of
you watched that game in the stadium?
Yeah I was up in the gods
his longevity is also impressive.
He has been consistently delivering at top clubs since 2011
I donāt think people realize how competitive and insane serie A was
Parma used to be a giant in the 90s
Same for Genoa and Sampdoria who is now in Serie B
Juve, Milan, Inter, Napoli, Parma, Lazio all winning European finals, all but Napoli winning multiple. Sampdoria, Fiorentina reaching European finals.
Most winning the title too, a challenging at some point.
Serie A 86-06 is the peak of football for me.
They were oozing talent left and right.
The sport def had an aura to it.
There is a reason why kits, magazines, books, panini stickers, figures etc from that era are highly collectible
No I dont know any other
not really I would say antony is more important than cucho
But cucho is very important yes
Isco > Antony > Amrabat > Valles > Cucho > Abde > Fornals > Lo Celso > Bartra
I would say thats like the ranking of most important players or better players currently
yeah Sevilla
for this season? Why would you put Isco there
Altimira is also really important I think
bc he will get recovered and be the best again
If you mean most important players since season started then I would say
i think Roma also won one serie a title in the early 00s
yes
From what ive seen Cucho is fundamental
his positioning sort of helps Antony be free to be a baller
very intelligent in attack
I think Antony > Cucho > Fornals > Amrabat > Abde > Valles
like if antony was out, you can still employ Abde, u can put ruibal on the wing, u could even use lo celso
but the role of Cucho, who can do it?
Chimy? not level
Bakambu? not level
Pablo GarcĆa
yeah agree but swap antony with cucho imo
Fornals has been spectacular too yeah
Ruibal isnt that regular and effective and abde needs better definition
Antony has the best definition of all players
that is obvious mate my point isnt comparing antony to abde or ruibal
my point is that Cucho does something in the field that nobody else can do
Antony and Isco even though they have world class ability, they are replaceable as far as the tactics go
look at the points Betis has this season
I dont doubt Antony's skill
he is probably top 3 wingers in la liga
Thats true cucho is a very completed player but also replaceable
I mean fornals is on fire but he isnt close to isco at his peak
Ruibal can also be striker not only winger or full back
Pablo GarcĆa is a top striker too and he doesnt play like cucho but still a striker can do his job
we'll see i guess
and yea bakambu and chimy are finished
whenever Cucho is out, we can see if the team keeps up the performances
If only he had a bit better definition he would have been the key player more than antony
Missed too many chances
New Daily Question:
Wow ts tuff
Barcelona wants to buy Nico Schlotterbeck
good
They're not getting schlotterbeck
Unless we become financially good we wonāt make any offer for any player
Milan has one of the best tifoās in football man
Why are both matches today?
I am in the barca official server but i came here to say wtf is going on with city they could possibly bottle the game š
Lewa what did you do
lol

@grok can you explain what she means by 'read'
Not happening after they won at the weekend
Against the worst team in the prem (well not anymore under nuno but still)
I am tired of slot getting lifelines with wins against Madrid, now westham
Dude always manages to keep the fire down
Happy Birthday Torino
he will be manager this time next year
Hope not
New Daily Question:
Mainz sacked their coach
I mean we managed to beat them in the uecl
pure haramballš
but still, Craiova pulled off an impressive result
They took one shot against us
And that one wasn't even a chance
š
Hate those teams who always park the bus icl
Especially the team who parks the bus from the start of the game
my school used to play these kind of tactics haha
we were winning 1-0 every match
I would have said nice but
Maybe because I'm so used to watching koch shit defending
Well he doesn't even defend
Just exist
I pray that it dies
send him to craiova we'll take him
You look depressed
Mainz bad. Me happy.
As long as serie a and Dortmund exists, it will go on and on 
Watch the last game of Dortmund
And tell me if that was haramball
Woah calm down pal
Actually forget all that
I hope grimaldo can't play football anymore
What he did that night was just straight haram
Wallahi he should've been booked more than 2 times
That match was so boring
But ref is blind and a clown š¤”
No pen given
No red to andrich
No red to grimaldo
Aii man i don't think that was a pen
Guess I will watch it this weekend
Highlights really don't say much
Bro 2 hands around a guy who has a goal chance
That's a pen
Show the clip again rq
Nvm that was a pen
this is a pen every day of the week
And Leverkusen has the audacity to say we were favoured by the refs š¤”
Grimaldo fakes an injury 3 times
Was told to get off the pitch
And doesn't
Ref doesn't book him for that
And whenever "treatment" is over
He sprints back on
Should have gotten a red for that
Like nothing happened
Okay bro we hear you
This happened a total of 3 times gng
Clearly you don't Uzun š
I do
Hatty against leverkusen then?
And frankfurt pr
I, Can, hear you
Habibi Uzun can š„ŗ
And my brother Emre Can
Dortmund 18/19 got so close to Bundesliga but Bayern hit them up with "I am better"
They will dw
Frankfurt will help you to get top 2 as well
23 was worse than that
That's too mainstream
Fanfreundschaft š 26/27
Marmouse
We missed europa because of those bum Leverkusen
Ekitike
Qualified for playoffs of uecl tho
11 years to the day:
Alloa Athletic 3-2 Rangers
2-0 down thanks to two goals from Dean Shiels and Kenny Miller, but Ryan McCord and a Greig Spence double in the last 15 minutes of the game sent Alloa to the Challenge Cup final in dramatic style.
We ended up getting pumped 4-0 from Livingston tho lol
Watch the game and you won't see Isak, watch Isak and you won't see the game
nice
Howdy lads, lots of matches on today but ill mostly be focusing on Arsenal vs Brentford
- Arsenal have won six of their last seven Premier League home matches.
- Brentford have struggled away this season: theyāve lost 5 of their 6 away Premier League matches.
- Brentfords potential to score on the break or from transitions can cause problems, especially if Arsenalās defense has changes.
- Arsenal need a dominate win today to silence any critics after taking a point away at Stamford Bridge.
Thiago hatty
@sour sinew My point is mate, and read the whole text before replying, that the era of primer ronaldo v messi was carried by barca, madrid and atletico in lesser degree.
They were the three clubs that constantly competed for the title, and in the case of Madrid and Barca, for UCL.
That does NOT indicate that the league was stronger, simply that these two spanish teams were unbelievably strong. Overall, most mid to small teams were shit, Spain was dealing with the 2008 recession and basically, if not all spanish clubs starting in the late 00s and around the 2010s, were in ruins and either going through bankrupcty or barely making it alive (which is also why Tebas has implemented this incredibly strict financial rules over long periods of time, love it or hate it)
Now, most la liga clubs are NOT in ruins, they are okay. They have less money, because they arent allowed to just gamble it away, but they are okay.
Yes, La Liga internationally is worse and has been worse for a while, mainly because Barca fell off, and also the insane level of the premier league and PSG
but as far as competition in La Liga goes, and whether its harder for real madrid and barca to win games, la liga is definitely much stronger now
therefore MbappƩs numbers are very impressive
"My point is mate, and read the whole text before replying, that the era of primer ronaldo v messi was carried by barca, madrid and atletico in lesser degree.
" its literally the case now
and even worse with less money being there for the lower la liga clubs
"most mid to small teams were shit," point proven you are clueless
sevilla,rayo,valencia, villareal were literally all stronger back then
than now
