Yeah, going to have to agree to strongly disagree here. You can move away from the SK example if you want, but the game, especially cup games, is...
I don't understand this logic at all. You can't have watched all these WCs and think that the better teams would just win. I bet if Italy had...
What makes the Brazil 1994 a 1? They were neck and neck with Italy. It's not clear to me that they were definitely the best at the WC in the same...
It's crazy for me, as an Arsenal fan, to think that we once had arguably one of the best teams in Europe in the 1930s. We wouldn't reach that...
I do think it is important to note that the talent pool is so much larger today though, and dominance of peers mean different things now than back...
What does prime mean here? Is it like hypothetical team with like 1954 version of Puskas as well as peak Kopa? Or just Madrid at their best...
Hazard is quite well rounded anyway. It's not like he's Doku. His final actions of both passing and scoring was quite good, if not elite...
I honestly don't see a case for Ribery over Robben unless we want to include "ball retention" as part of the dribbling category.
Voted Neymar, but I would live with either Robben or Hazard winning. All three close enough for me to not be bothered either way.
Oh man, you come out swinging don't you...for someone who doesn't even read the title :D
Not sure if Moore is the best one for this spot. The modern 343 requires someone very athletic to play the wide CB role as they have to defend a...
Isn' Cruyff the no.10 by replacing Muller's 70s quota?
Yeah, I think ADS would work better. Keeping the decades in tact, the question might be which 70s attacking midfielder would come in to replace...
I'm not so sure strikers who are good at attacking crosses is that important to Ronaldo. The linkup play matters so much more. In this case, is...
He's the next Vieira :cool:
I had Rijkaard in my all-time XI, but my Arsenal loyalty have me refusing to believe anyone is "much better" than Rice Much greater? obviously....
On this note, I think an interesting approach would be to pick like 2000s Ronaldo (say 07/08) to play as right forward. Push Messi up to the false...
I am on the opposite end. I wouldn't hesitate to make Pele my false 9 because there isn't many players I can think of who can play there and bring...
Good read that. The idea behind it is always more interesting than the actual lineup. I did something similar in the all-time XI thread. Funnily...
That's not what the stat means. It's a measuring number so it's just a matter of volume. Hazard's number is partially inflated by his team being...
I am hyped for all 3 honestly. Obviously, I see most of Yamal because he plays for Barcelona so the PR machine is off the charts. Endrick will get...
Timber looks every bit like a central midfielder who was taught to play in defense. Even though he's not the same level of athlete as Davids, I...
Oh...when I said we...I meant like the footballing world in general. Trent is one of those players that I think should be appreciated by everyone,...
No man, it's Trent, obviously! Idk what the comp is for Timber. Maybe Edgar Davids if he was taught to play in defense? Timber isn't the same...
Tbf, I think it is the nature of his role. Like, Ronaldo ghosted at times in EURO2016 too, but he was always capable of exploding, and he did....
