Yeah Messi is good, but even on his own team, I'd say those two Spanish dudes are better passers.
You guys are smoking if you think Courtois and De Gea aren't very close if not as good as Neuer. Or Germans I guess.
Maybe one solution to corruption is to flat out formalize it. Just auction off the world cup hosting privileges within certain region.
Fair enough, I do not believe that UEFA seceding is a realistic threat. It's being voiced by a few names, but I bet Sepp has a lot of support...
Not to mention, outside of the big powers, there are a lot of mediocre to weak teams in Europe that make the WC that are really no better than the...
I'm all for holding FIFA's feet to the fire, that said I do not buy the notion that UEFA is doing it for the best interests of the game. In the...
Um, broadcasters who pay the bills certainly care about viewership outside of Europe and South America. You really don't get it do you? It's not...
What does it matter who exposed the bribery? At the end of the day, you guys are no different from the people you like to criticize. Especially...
What glorious history did South Africa have? How about Korea or Japan? You're just moving goalposts now. Gifting a WC has never been about giving...
I guess all the Western UEFA supporters who want to leave FIFA forget that the UEFA boss himself voted for Qatar. And regarding the German guy who...
Manuel Neuer is awesome, but I don't there's any kind of a gap between him and Courtois or De Gea
Interesting you think that Carva adds more offensively than Juanfran, I felt it was the opposite. You are correct about having a more dynamic...
I like the double 5 of Javi and Busquets.....Javi is definitely a player we need to integrate into the lineup. Also agree with giving Silva the...
This Ghana team, while talented, was a joke on the field. Portugal played awful, and while Germany was good, by the time the US played them,...
Klinsmann is a motivator. He's weak tactically and had Jogi Low to do that with Germany, and Vogts this time around. Howard notes this in his book...
Highly questionable, the man was exposed as a mediocre coach at club level, benefited from a very talented team from a major footballing power in...
True...with that ACL injury.
Yeah.....I don't like this whole "Chosen One" thing going on with DDG, would rather have an open competition between him, Casilla, Valdes, and...
Is Sergio Ramos also untouchable? He's a tremendous athlete great in set pieces, but I don't think his technique is that good and is out of...
I hope this is a good chance to give kiko casilla his debut. I like VDB comments about playing more directly.
Yeah....I mean this is the country that still has the KGB and a dictator...
Yeah I don't get Ramos' comment, we know DC has long term hamstring issues, and it's probably best to limit his game. Cesc I assume is unhappy at...
Casillas and Pique OTOH are bad for both club and country....
Not saying we should dump the possession game, but I think we need to add a lot of counterattacking concepts to the game. I disagree with your...
Llorente is just ok, and not good enough for the NT.
