    Both the 4th and 5th round draws of the FA Cup about to be held.

    I wonder why they are drawing two rounds at once? I assume the change in process is COVID-related but I can't think of how doing it this way helps in any way.

    Some jump to flavor of the day in a millisecond. A player has a dip in form and he is not worthy of them anymore. Now Mbappe is too spoiled ... :ROFLMAO:

    Feature match of round 4 is Man Utd v Liverpool.

    For round 5, none of the 'big 6' teams will meet each other.

    Haaland is better than Mbappe now.

    Mbappe has more in his arsenal than Haaland. But I agree that Haaland is a more deadly scorer and seems to be more committed. What’s with this new generation lacking that “leading man”type of players like Messi, Ronaldo, Pele, Maradona, Cruyff etc to carry the sport. There is some serious lack of talent. I’m also disappointed with lack of great dribblers and technically gifted players that can actually decide games and are entertaining. I hope the newer generation can offer us more than some boring ass players and some spark to the game. Entertaining

    Who is to say Mbappe and/or Haaland won't adopt that role? We never thought of Messi or Ronaldo as "leading man" types when they were 20. Usually we only tend to look at players that way when they are a bit older.

    I knew they will become one tbh. They have that spark or that special thing in them. Haaland looks more likely than Mbappe tbh.

    Big match in La Liga title race tonight - Atleti v Sevilla! Right now Atleti not overwhelming favorites to win La Liga but that might change if they win this one. Correa with an early goal to make it 1-nil.

    You probably won't find anything like Messi in the near future. Mbappe can be similiar to C.Ronaldo. What he needs is 100% focus like Ronaldo has done in his entire career.

    Guess I don't know what he meant by "leading man". To me that describes Puyol both on and off the field until about 2012. After that I can see how Messi could be considered the leader on the field.

    Whoa! What a pleasant surprise! Always nice to see an old school poster pop up every once in a while.
    Occasionally, "irregardless" will make it's way into postings..
    How have you been, Alex?

    I’ve heard Messi has been a leader behind the scenes in the living clear room dealing with some team problems . I wouldn’t say he is a leader on the pitch or at HT during a match .

    Lewa is basically as good as poacher Ronaldo. Honestly what Lewa is doing the last season and a half is a nightmare for CR stans. It shows that any really good finisher can put up monster numbers in front of a good support.

    And just like that, the quest for a successful defending of the Treble is gone.

    I swear, I was just about to type "Time for a clasico-style dive by Ramos". Sure enough....

    For the second year in-a-row the supercopa will be between 2 teams that won nothing the season before! :D

    I have no idea why they even looked for. My guess is foul too
    The producers said handball but it took too long for that as in was obvious from the first angle in wasn't


    To be fair the Copa final didn't happen
