I have to say I disagree quite markedly. But that's okay. We all have our opinions. But Kaka and Muller are such different players in almost every...
Peakwise, 06/07 for UCL and maybe 03/04, his first season in at Milan, for Serie A. As I recall, Kaka was already declining physically by maybe...
Kaka is the greater "match-winner" and probably has the highest potential level as well, meaning best form of Kaka > best form of KDB in the...
Glad to hear you like the posts and of course I agree about Pirlo 2006! If you look at the "percentage of team total" stats in my post, you see...
I also found this chart displaying World Cup ball progressions, though it is for all World Cup games and not specific to the ones of my analysis....

Can I ask you two what your impression is of Modric's La Liga level over the years? Modric always comes up with big moments in the UCL it seems....
Yes, but for a player like Xavi though, who created a lot from open play and from set-pieces, it is only a positive and a benefit to the team to...
If a player takes set-pieces and corner kicks, its most often because they are the best on their teams at that skill and deserve to take them....
For longevity, it would be interesting to a make a definitive criteria as to what makes a ""world class" season. I have been pondering this,...
