Goalkeeper Spain ? Please change it
Why and to which country? Only Germany may be better than Spain in the goalkeeper category

Germany and Italy before Spain.
I agree with you concerning Germany, but I do not quite agree that Italy has historically had better Goalkeepers than Spain.

They're stats ofcourse

Fraudulent stats accrued all through his stay at Barcelona while he was busy faking his retirements and making empty promises upandan undecided

The strange thing is....Your Messi is only just a Barca Legend tongue tongue tongue

And even if he ends up winning the World cup...it will never mean shii to me...FIFA actually wish they gifted him the World cup ...but the world is watching angry

But I wanna ask you just one question

Do you think Messi is a fraudulent hypocrite?

Answer honestly grin

How is he fraudulent. He has played in the best league in the world and made it his own, has distinguished himself in champions league and is the record goal scorer for Argentina.

He is the most prolific goalscorer, most precise passer and the most effective dribble in the world.

If that's your definition of fraud, you should probably change your dictionary

schurley:


Why was he not hitting the 40-50 goal marks steady in England as he was doing in Madrid, note, Cr7 role shifted from be a midfielder in 442 formation to a right wing forward RWF in his latter years in the United shirt, so spare me your long sermon about playin auxiliary foward or locomotive inverting forward, the facts still remain out of all the leagues Cr7 played in Laliga was the easiest for him in terms of goal scoring. His game to goal ratio solidify my argument, even after leaving the league in two years he his still the only player with the record highest hatricks, whilst playing there in just 9 years.

As for playing with better players, i should be made to believe that, Van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Scholes, Giggs, Vidic, Evra, Berbatov, Ferdinard, Roy Keane, a team with the likes of Diego Forlan, Saha, Tevez, on the benchwere inferior, a team that won 3 epl on a roll, and a back to back Champions league finalist before leaving were filled inferior to Real Madrid team?

You have no case! The Spanish Laliga is a league with lower quality in defence, were you can be scoring 40 goals per season for 6 years, without go slow or holdup. It maybe the best league (due to the Barca and Real factors), but it's never the most competitive league in the world. Even Ibramovic confessed to the competitiveness and rigor of the Ep when he had like 10 games goal drought in the league.

@ your last statement, maybe cemented in Camp nou because outside there, even in his hometown he is just a one of Argentine good forward with nice stats which 60% are from friendlies, Barcelona club legend, i reckon but greatest ever, even Messi be angry at you, for such fallacious statement.

Woe to Bartholomew, I'm eager for Messi to come and destroy the Epl grin

Omo! This your rant no just follow at all. Lemme try to make sense of what you said and rebut your points one after the other:

1. If Ronaldo's goalscoring tally improved in la liga because of shitty la liga defenders, why did his goalscoring also improve in champions league after his move to real Madrid? Make sure you answer this please.

2. Are you seriously arguing that Manchester United had a better team than Real madrid? Because if you are, you are clueless. Real Madrid bought two recent world bests in a transfer window to a team that was already star-studded. The only thing Man utd had over real Madrid then was Fergie.

3. With regards to your claim that EPL is more competitive, competitiveness does not connotes quality. Or is the Nigerian league better than EPL because it is more competitive?

4. And I'm not the only one that called him greatest ever, people like Klopp, Rooney, Henry, people that their opinions matter in the football word believe that he is already the greatest ever.

So you can throw tantrums if you like, the people that matter mostly consider him the GOAT, your opinion doesn't matter outside nairaland

It's been a while England had a balance squad like this . I wish southgate would stop using that 3-4-3 system and move to a standard 4-3-3 formation.


Sterling/Rashford Kane. Sancho/Sterling


Grealish


Henderson/Dier. Rice/Mount



Chilwell. Mag. Gomez. Walker/TAA

There is so much creativity and finishing prowess in that team plus players from the bench in Foden, Greenwood,Etc
England have the squad to be the 2nd Favorites to win the Euros after France.

I was just saying it. Zoff and Albertosi were cannibalizing each other. The same way Clements and Shilton did for England.

The ultimate cannibalization was Pagliuca cannibalizing Zenga only to be cannibalized by Peruzzi whose career was now cannibalized by a combination of Buffon and Toldo. The person that suffered the most was Marchegianni who was at best no 4 in Italy when he would have been no1 in most other countries and he was the only one who was never a starter in a tournament.

You think that was bad? Try Germany
Since I started watching Germany fully

Germany had Bodo Illgner starting beyond his sell date when Andy Kopke was ready
When Illgner left, Kopke now overstayed his own time till 1998 world cup and ate half of Oliver Kahns career
Oliver Kahn started from 2000 and also cannibalized most of Jens Lehman career until 2006 when Klinsman forcefully benched Kahn
After 2008 when Lehmann, Enke was already chopping minutes meant for Rene Adler and Neuer until he died
Adler became number 1 until he got injured just towards 2010 world cup courtesy of Neuers jazz and that was the end of his career
Neuer became number 1 since 2010 and his effective jazz ensured no one ever challenged him, any keeper who tried to will meet with misfortune between the goal

Ter Stergen at Mochengladbach made noise that he should be number 1, they tried him in friendlies and he started passing to opponents to score cheap goals
MAtS left Germany to avoid Neuers curse, Neuer got injured and he started a few but was leaking goals.
Neuer came back and last CL when he was supposed to prove he was better than Neuer in the CL quarter vs Bayern, That match became a fiasco for him

All the others like Kevin Trapp, Leno have accepted their fate now, Alex Nubel who should be starting for 90% of ther countries and clubs is now sitting comfortably on the Bayern bench waiting for Neuer
