Re: The Dribble in Football

For me Neymar is the best pure dribbler ìn the modern game. Messi is so so. For me dribbling is also about aesthetics. Its gotta be pleasing on the eye and Messi doesn't dribble in that way whereas Neymar is poetry in motion :thumbs: Agreed, I actually believe Messi's dribbling has declined as they...

Re: The Dribble in Football

Dribbling is less effective in the modern game where most players are super fit, fast, agile, and defences are well drilled and organised. Even against inferior opposition, defences will just drop deep to the edge of their own box and not allow an excellent dribbler on the opposition get close enou...

Re: VAR Is problematic

It gives refs with bias an easy way of cheating. Pique deserved a red card and handled the ball twice but no VAR. Linesman calls offside and the fuuul calls for VAR. What an Ahole...so pissed!!! I believe VAR is awesome and is welcomed great addition. The problem is not VAR but the current process ...

Re: Arsenal 1 vs 1 Atletico Madrid FT

Atleti are one of the few clubs in the world who may actually be better with ten men than eleven. They then don't have to pretend at an open game, they bunker down. Not sure how much 'help' it was for Arsenal. I agree but I think Arsenal is one of those teams Atleti can have a go at so maybe arsena...

Re: Arsenal 1 vs 1 Atletico Madrid FT

Agree with you. As much as I don't like early dismissals (from a fan's perspective), we really can't blame the ref. When he set the tone by giving the first yellow (which I didn't see, as I started watching later), the player was bone-headed for rushing into that second challenge. It was his own fa...

Re: Arsenal 1 vs 1 Atletico Madrid FT

Cannot blame the ref. Both challenges were bookable (some strict refs may have given him a straight red for the second studs up challenge). that said, the ref's intervention positively influenced the rest of the game. I noticed that after the red card, players on both sides became very careful with...

Re: CITY VS L’POOL (UCL QF) 2nd Leg (1-2) 1-5 aggregate

As for City, they were awfully boring and tedious today. Predictable. Sure, the refs took away a legit 2nd goal from them but I really think Liverpool always had the ability to score the ONE goal that they needed. They, like someone else said, were also the better side. It was NOT legit. The rule b...

Re: Barcelona 3-0 Chelsea

With all due respect, what would an Alvaro Morata stunt doubling as a white Danny Welbeck, have done if afforded the full ninety? Yes, the name reads nicely, but in actuality, he's been more Welbeck than Welbeck, for long enough to be called Danny Boy. Coach - Morata would have stretched the Barca ...

Re: Barcelona 3-0 Chelsea

4 balls hitting the bar aren't chances. No problem. They have won. Good work. Lol, 2 of those where from 20+ yard shots. If you want to count those as realistic chances, let's asses the number of times 20+ yard shots go in. Then there is the Alonso freekick. Again how often to freekicks go in. that...

Any coach can win big trophies if they have a blank check to buy the best players in the world. Always funny when I hear people say this.
