Re: OFFICIAL- KING LEO IS DA GOAT
You guys are both my men...but I have to say Ohsee is deluded when he lessons the fact that Pele had IMMENSE players around him...whereas Maradona and Messi didn't. :) I still tip Pele because he was the most complete and had peak athleticism. Fast, agile, strong, leaper, 2 good feet, peripheral vi...

Re: Claudio Reyna was blackmailing US Coach Berhalter
My only dog in this fight is that the USA have the best coach. Ill might be wrong, but I say Berhalter should not be retained. He made some critical coaching and leadership errors. 1) He told Gio he'd have a limited role. No need for this. We've all played and know this is just a bad approach, as y...

Typical soccer parents? Try typical AMERICAN PARENTS!!! Period. :rotf: Many Americans have become soft, whinny, entitled, and spoiled.

Re: Claudio Reyna was blackmailing US Coach Berhalter
Can't believe what the Reynas did. I've never been a fan of Berhalter, but this is trash behavior. Good luck now getting their son a fair shake.

Re: How come Croatia with a tiny population
Keep an eye 👁 on Osimhen, Bassey, and Moffi . Those 3 are unlikely to be at their current clubs for many years. When they get sold, the combined transfer fee will be in the 100-150 million range. There is also another highly rated lad at Fenerbahce called Bright Osayi-Samuel. The other players to k...

I hear Juranovic of Celtic will soon be leaving for bigger things (and bigger money!). That is the word on the street. I heard Chelsea gave a lower offer, but it looks like Juranovic will leave Celtic soon. BTW: I am starting to track the Nigerian NT...especially with younger players, seeing how th...

Re: Watched the 1970 World Cup for the 1st time
I love watching the 1970 WC, as it's instructive on the nature of football. It was oozing with class...and go easy on the pace, as it was so hot and sports science not as advanced. The modern game relatively slows down in extreme heat as well. Of course it was different. Teams that played violently ...

How can anyone in good conscience award that as a PK? In a span of two minutes the ref has destroyed Vallidolid.

RIP King Pele. From my earlier memories, the King was the King. My father passed away last year. He never stopped talking about Pele when football came up.

Lol one of the most ballsy performances I have seen at a WC. I honestly thought the last pk was a step too far, but he buried it. All pks in the same corner too.

Re: OFFICIAL- KING LEO IS DA GOAT
This is the type of brutal treatment that Pele had to endure in his era. All of these would be red cards today. Someone even hit him with a WWE style flying elbow smash (in addition to the kicks to the head and studs up tackles from behind). Not a single red card was shown to any of the violent ass...

Re: OFFICIAL- KING LEO IS DA GOAT
He’s definitely surpassed Maradona in my view. Maradona’s time at very top lasted three years whereas Messi has been at the top of world football for his entire 17 year career. However, Pele had a prolific long career but he also played at a time when the game was quite different both from a stylis...
