¡Hala Juve! - The 2018-2019 Other Players (and Teams) thread

unless you have this dude

 

Yeah, had the sense I was being naive as I was typing my previous post.

 

Messi should’ve been at least 3rd based on individual performance.

 

Big rumors that some of the votes were manipulated by France Football.

This, for example (see image).

Not sure if true, but it does beget the question— how many years has this gone on for?

Or maybe it was accidental.

Messi’s own country did not vote for him. There you go, Argentina.


But Portugal voted Messi #1, and Ronaldo #2.

So Ronaldo’s country did not vote for him either.

 

Yeah, Messi was by far the best player last season, and even after that his own country doesn't support him. That's fcked up.

 

Yeah, unfortunately CR7 with way more CL and World Cup goals (cold dose of reality, but facts are facts). Not sure what planet the people voting for Messi were living in the past 8 months[?]. Obviously Messi is the best, but that’s not how Ballon d’Or works or ever worked.

It would be one thing if Messi had 80-90 goals while nobody else was even close, but when you only have 3-4 more goals than the chasing pack and don’t have a memorable WC or CL then you are not going to win Ballon d’Or in a WC year.

 

Zlatan Ibrahimovic when asked about his opinion on Luka winning the Ballon D'or:

"Now we know it was Perez who was competing with Messi on Ballon D'ors, not Ronaldo"

 

Facts

 

Madrid has always had hand in every pie, easiest cl draws (relation to elo), ref help in every tough draw, referees carrying them in liga, no transfer ban from Fifa like Barca and Atletico got and so on. Now that Fakenaldo admitted he's not good enough for Spain, some random players from Uefadrid wins all the best player titles.

 

He did? Source?

 

Mourinho fielding a Copa del Rey-type starting XI against Arsenal in a league match that is basically a must-not-lose if United have any chance of playing in CL next season!

At this point, it has become clear that Mou has either lost his marbles completely or is actively trying to get fired (or both).

 

Weird but what is ManU's strongest 11? I see Pogba is on the bench, Lukaku and Mata and Fellaini too, but I just don't know which regular starters are missing and they have equalized.

 

And a healthy Fred didn't even make the bench!

 

And the team played well with out them apart the 2 mistakes that cost them the 2 goals

 

What a pompous piece of shit https://www.goal.com/en/news/messi-...elf-maradona-above/13x4tzt80ti9v1axha7l0m47ur

 

Ah...Pele, Maradona....they will keep their dignity more if they just stop talking.

 

Pele is more arrogant and this statement he made further proves it.

 

"played well" hmm.. I mean, they would have lost with VAR. And Arsenal probably had the better of the play, especially second half. United were also at home. But yeah... the bar is set so low for United lately that this qualified as a surprising success.

 

If only that could have happened in the Copa Libertadores final.

 

So far all 13 teams to advance to the octavos de final of Copa del Rey play in the first division. Only 2 lower division teams remain and they are rivals: Racing Santandar and Sporting Gijon.

 

Gijon look already through at halftime, Eibar would need 5 goals at this point as they are down 0-4 on aggregate and Gijon have 2 away goals already today. Santander are not even in Segunda and are already down an away goal from the first leg, so much less likely but that game hasn't even begun.

Of course as I wrote that Barca's Cucurella pulled one back for Eibar, just 4 more to go.

Now I know this thing Ballon D’Or is completely staged. One of the newspapers has been closed for 6 years, and the journalist does not even exist —yet his vote was registered (see article below).

Before I was still willing to give France Football the benefit of the doubt, but they flipped one journalist’s vote upside down, and then completely fabricated another journalist’s vote.

Come on....this award is useless, irrelevant, and complete garbage.

 

By the way, Zidane excluded Ra-penaldo from his All Time Best Squad —-
