Aizoon Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 How sad about Argentina, and what a pity to see the fat cheat crying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmissionImpossible Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Even with their disappointing 1-0 win against Iran, Spain are clearly the best team in the tournament. Argentina were very poor, Croatia look poor defensively to me, can’t see them getting past the quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 We potentially have an excellent route IF we finish 2nd in our group, providing Germany finish second and Brazil win their group, most the tough sides are on the other side of the draw until the semi finals. So we'd probably lose in the last 16 to Japan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Ronaldo has the ability to take a game by the scruff of the neck and carry his team mates, Messi doesn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This to me is one of the reasons I side with Ronaldo in this debate. Clearly no question Messi would get into City's line up, but Ronaldo seems to be utterly driven. That said, I rate Maradona over everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 1 hour ago, The Batman said: Fabregas got it right there. Argentina had 5 defenders and 5 attackers. Perfect for Croatia's excellent midfielders to take advantage. That's what worries me about England. If Dier played instead of Henderson we would have zero midfielders.. Jordan Henderson is the only midfielder in the England team... The others are either central defenders impersonating midfielders or CAMs which aren't real midfielders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi dragged Argentina to the last WC final, and has just dragged Argentina on his own to qualify for this WC. They wouldn’t even be in Russia if it wasn’t for him. For anyone to even slightly doubt what Messi has done with a piss poor Argentina side over the last 5 years, is incredible. In the qualifying group they used 45 players and had 3 coaches!

Gazred Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 They both qualify as legends of the game for me. Don't think there is very much between them footballing wise and not much to be gained debating which one is better. Just enjoy them whilst they are still playing. Could be a long wait before we see the likes of them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Completely agree with @Gazred, I've grown to enjoy watching both of them, two different players and two players who will go down as greats. Ronaldo has shone more at this world cup, but Messi was better at the last, comparing them off of one tournament makes little sense. Both are world class players who deserve to be viewed in their own right, not in comparison with each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
