Unlimited22: It was punishment for withdrawing from 1996 on the eve of the tournament. Abacha cost us 2 AFCONs on our record cos no way we wouldn't have won 96 and 98 |

As a proponent of using eye test to judge a player.i don't think it's a fair comparison on Kross as Xavi is miles better. One major standout from Xavi among every other central midfielders is his ability to receive pass under pressure without losing the ball. You will count with your fingers the CM who have such ability. Just cast your mind back as to why a Fabregas with better pass accuracy couldn't control both Barca and Spain midfield,it is because he lacked this ability. 3 Likes |

iamoyindamola: Naija players weren't strong enough. Abacha called them to meeting just before 1996 tournament and told them they can go, but he won't be able to provide security during the tournament due to his problem with South Africa (lamba). No one was brave enough to say they should go anyway and provide their own security 1 Like |

Ibime:Who or what is an Onuachu? Unless we're leading 2-0 in the 93rd Minute he shouldn't be seen anywhere near that pitch and even then I'd prefer Musa. I questioned his inclusion before the tournament but he's been an exemplary captain. |

TrebleChamp:The same Xavi Barca wanted to throw away for being surplus to requirement before Pep came and revived his career. God of midfield at 26 wasn't even a regular starter for Barca. He would flopped hard at Madrid without that tika taka nonsense. Kroos would have slotted right in at Peps Barca like he did at Bayern. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Below are the player ratings for each of the 7 games madrid played in the knockout stages of the 2022 UCL which madrid won as demanded by prospa. Kindly note that not one out of the seven matches was Kroos adjudged to be one of the top three performers on the pitch. I believe at this point we can all agree that Prospa is just one of those fans who claim to know their team by mouth; the kind of people whose voices are the loudest in viewing center shouting their voice hoarse over a non-existent fact. How can a player who is not even his own team's best midfielder be dragging with legendary status with Xavi? 1.

Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by DissTroy(m): 4:20pm On Feb 11 |
Google-search "Greatest La Liga midfielders of all time". Kroos is never mentioned. Xavi is always in top 2 on any list. Modric sometimes even gets mentioned in the top 15, but never Kroos. Not even once. https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/10-best-midfielders-in-la-liga-history https://m.allfootballapp.com/news/epl/5-Greatest-Midfielders-in-La-Liga-History/2792034 Do show any list where Kroos is mentioned and more particularly, any top 5 or top 10 list of greatest midfielders where Kroos is mentioned. Even one. In contrast, all the lists always have Xavi on them. |
