  1. Fair enough to him that Spain rolled over the competition during the 2012 Euros but they were very boring and underwhelming during the 2010 World Cup.
  2. I'll disagree also. My definition of an Anchor man is different. I see an anchorman is a player that not only stays back but whose first job it agressively defend and win the ball back, their second job is to give the ball quickly to more creative players and retain posession. But that is just arguing semantics. Mascherano, Mikel, Javi Martinez, Makelele, Deschamps: the water carrier. That is a anchorman. I'm not saying the anchoramn can't be creative but having creativity is a very low priority. Alonso and Pirlo's job isn't to protect the back four at all. It's to start attacks from deep. Pirlo in particular plays like Xavi, he even said so himself in his bio. He said he likes to look for space move, receive the ball, find space, pass and continue this pattern. This is what I see Pirlo doing, very average as a defender. Amazing technical and creative ability. I wouldn't rely on either Xabi or Pirlo to protect a defensive line. Xabi had Khedira at Real (they still leaked goals regardless) and Pirlo has Pogba, Vidal and Marchisio doing a lot of the dirty work for him. Pirlo had Gattuso and Ambrosini at Milan, Alonso had Steevee and Mascherano at Liverpool. What you explained Bastian to be is the exact definition of a B2B midfielder, thanks for proving that point for me.
  3. Alonso, Pirlo, Schweinsteiger, Matuidi = anchor DMs. First two are deep playmakers and the last two are Box-To-Box Midfielders. Just because they former two stay deep doesn't mean they are anchors.
  4. Backseat managers. Love 'em. Nah, just fucking around; they actually annoy me greatly.
  5. Don't really get the hype for Willian. He beats defenders 3/4 of the time and then crosses the ball into noman's land.
  6. Not racist at all. You are the one that made it racist.
  7. All the people that predicted El Clasico wrong should git gud. Fucking scrubs.
  8. I'd rather be a peasant with super AIDS than look like you. A goddan jawline that could cut hard butter, ya bish. Square-headed cuntmaster-3000.
  9. Why do you always looks like Wayne Rooney after a visit to the brothel?
  10. Cristiano Ronaldo - Diego Costa - Eden Hazard Fabregas Matic - Khedira Azpilicueta - Varane - Terry - Carvajal Courtois BOOM BISH! The best team available not 'best players for each position'. Fucking team balance right there.
  11. Choulo is wrong and Alex is correct.
  12. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/29756140 Paul Pogba: Juventus midfielder signs new contract at Italian club
  13. I swear to fuck if the bitch fights between Nike, Marlon, iseah and whoever wishes to join in continues I'm handing out warnings.
  14. DIaby would have been a pretty great midfielder if he weren't made out of cracked glass.
  15. Me three, I made a case about it ages ago.
  16. The Bundesliga falls apart in the bottom half. The bottom half of the Bundesliga is less than Championship quality. La Liga is surprisingly strong. It would be stronger if teams didn't roll over for Barcelona and Real Madrid. Diego Milito should have won the Balon D'or in 2010. England has the worst grass roots and youth system in Europe. The Serie A is trying to juvenate itself so desperately. French football was superior before PSG and Monaco. Many young players play too many matches early and burn out young. The French will win the next Euros. Belgium will get to at least the semis. Neymar will outscore Pele for Brazil.
  17. At least I'm comfortable with my sexuality.
  18. Dion and Choulo want to kiss eachother.
