What!?!?! Like who?
Also add all his technical qualities and his confidence as well and you will find nobody as good as him bar Messi, even though Ronaldo is a much better individual imo.Thierry Henry at his peak, for example.
Any number of big West African strikers/midfielders. Essien during his best days wasn't that much slower than Ronaldo, significantly stronger and possessed far better stamina as well.

It was a manic decision to strip him of the captaincy when it was clear after the first time he was stripped that Terry is by far the best leader in England. Gerrard and Ferdinand were pretty shit as captains. Their personal form suffered, as well.
-
What are you talking about? There are many players faster, stronger, harder working, better aerially (all in one package, as well) players than Ronaldo.

He looks good in white.

That would be because you don't wash often.

Happy birthday
Why copy me for?!

Just ban him or let him go already.
Why waste time?

I'm getting a desktop for gaming once my sister moves out next month
It's going right where her bed is now 
Lebanese flag?

I rarely watch middle east foot ball but I'm certain that's not true. Jordan is a small country with a small population and absolutely no footballing history. They would never match up to the likes of KSA, Iran, Qatar and the north African Arab Nations in football.
All of our pre-game chat in the media was emphasising that Jordan were vastly different to other West Asian teams and that was what made them such a threat. We can't deal with long balls in the heat when we've spent all our time in Asia chasing after mini-Spain's.

Bull fuckin shit, absolutely cringeworthy
Zidane is the most skillful player in history and Messi has already surpassed maradona in terms of ability.
People complain about Messi's world cups, where are Maradona's European titles?
Lol you can say what you like it doesn't change the fact that today's elite professionals are all physique and no technique.
Just look at what the Jabulani did to them.
Do you have the mental capacity to recognise that its far easier to win a European title than a World Cup? I doubt it.

My Dell struggles even if I play FM on it. The fan is pretty ordinary, the computer gets so hot even if I run too many applications at the same time!
For gaming purposes I usually use my desktop. It's hardly a gaming PC but I'm not afraid of its fan exploding if I work it hard

Footballer that I have no idea of...
Haha, he's not a footballer.

How far is Norfolk from London, Jim?

As far as skill goes, Diego Maradona is the most talented player of all time and the likes of Messi and Ronaldo have half the brilliance of Maradona with the ball at their feet.

21/22 for the CL quiz. Didn't get PSV's 1988 triumph.
I maintain that the best CL wins ever were by Red Star Belgrade (@Sh0n3x,
) and Steaua Bucharest. They remain by far the smallest clubs to win it, amazing feats. -
Adriano?
What a man

Jordan
Jordan are a quality team, actually. I'd rate them the 5th or 6th best team in the AFC, and playing away in the Middle East in summer is a bitch. We still should have gotten a point, considering we're the third best team in Asia.
Mind, the Socceroo's are piss and wind these days. The golden generation is over and we're going to plunge back into a decade of mediocrity wishing we could play American Samoa every week.

Goes to show what complete clowns run UEFA. These clubs are struggling with money, that's the reason that they are in this situation. The probably have huge relief that they will be getting some money after each game etc. and it will probably help them massively. Yet UEFA feel the need to withhold prize money? You really couldn't make it up. Utter clowns.
Its even worse when you consider that all but 2 Spanish clubs earn a pittance compared to even relegation battlers in other leagues like the Bundesliga or the Premier League.
They have literally no chance of ever 'moving progressively' with their debt. If they do that then they will be spending so little on their players, they'll be packed full of random journeymen, youth and other shit players. They'll be awful in Europe, the whipping boys in every group stage of the CL they qualify for.

wow my friend ! completely irrational rhetoric here! Are your family from this part of the world by any chance? Whilst i agree with some of your sentiments about America setting itself up as the worlds moral force etc most of what you said is very emotional. The bay is gradually being taken care of: Obama is lined up against the whole redneck and extremely right wing American institutions but is getting there. You are at uni and what do you think would be your teachers reaction to your statements? They would tell you that they are far too emotional and selective to be taken seriously. Arguments, excluding football, must be reasoned and explained. Quetta, the Khyber pass, and other mountainous areas have been considered as bandit country for years and years even before any hijacking of Islam buy terrorists. Quetta for instance was the center for the heroin trade , whereas the khyber pass was where arms were made and or sold to all and sundry. I have friends who were there and fired surface to air missiles for a very small price!
Every tale has two sides and nothing will ever be resolved unless facts can be told dispassionately!
There you go and I've no doubt these words will be shoved in my face on a regular basis here now I'm not a terrorist sympathiser. Khyber Pass? Sure, use predator drones there where the only civilian might be a goatherd. Miranshah, a village of 14,000? No.
Also I acknowledged (or perhaps didn't, but I never bundled his name alongside Bush with regards to the Bay) that Obama shouldn't be charged over the Bay as he is fixing up the system. What he should be looked at is the use of drones in civilian areas. It's an insane approach, akin to shooting fish in a barrel in the hope that there might be a terrorist hiding down there somewhere.

The reason that was given for our invasion in Iraq was for WMDs which was absolutely a lie. Bush got himself caught in an all out attack which left him looking for any escape route. The invasion of Afghanistan was permitted, and was for the right reason, Osama Bin Laden. Defending what you ask? Defending our country from any future attack and keeping the battle-field away from our home. Your positon on the POWs goes both ways Cap. Becusue we all know that American POWs are treated fairly eh? they are given the royal treatment. so just paint us as the big-bad monster trouncing on the little guy.
I NEVER SAID THE IRAQI GOV'MNT WAGED WAR AGAINST US. i said specifically al qaeda(and i know that al qaeda is a terrorist group) i said that they (AL QAEDA) terrorists go and hide amongst their fellow citizens and then when we try and attack them via the drones the innocent are also killed. now tell me what are we supposed to do? honestly what are we supposed to do? Bush used the drones but sparingly but Obama increased the intensity ten-fold and im happ y with the result,,, here ;(http://openchannel.n...ingly-rare?lite) its nowhere near the 3,000.
and tell me when countries go to war, justified convential war innocent people aren't killed?? by your logic all presidents are war criminals and should be killed.....
No, President Wilson for example was no war criminal. Neither was Roosevelt, and Truman, I'll let him get away with nuking the Japanese as in a perverse way, he saved Japan from ruin by nuking them. Churchill was no war criminal either.
There's been a massive shift in the way the US has conducted its wars since the Vietnam War.

A certain other blue team also finished 6th...
We won the Champions League. As things stand, both Spurs and Inter are in the same tournament, with Spurs still looking the better side.

@,
Irn-Bru is a Class A drug manufactured and sold in Scotland. In consists primarily of sugar, artificial flavouring, sugar, more artificial flavouring, sugar, a pinch of artificial flavouring, and sugar. It was designed by health experts in 1901 to get Scotsmen off their arses to do anything except drink.
A study released by John Perkins in 1992 determined that Irn-Bru is the leading cause of obesity in Scotland, greater even than influence from the far west or lack of physical activity. Perkins' study noted that since the introduction of Irn-Bru in 1901, obesity rates in Scotland have risen by 76 people.[1] The Scottish Parliament refused to act on this information, since Perkins was English and therefore completely biased against them.
All young Scots suffer an indoctrination to Irn-Bru at the age of five (or thirteen for Scottish Jews). Their parents present them with a six-pack of heavy-dutyIrn-Bru and force them to drink it. This single event causes most children a life of addiction to everything pertaining to Irn-Bru.
These unfortunate people, called Bru addicts by everyone else, die young, and have a much harder time finding a girlfriend.[2] (Experts have determined that this is the sole cause of Scotland's underpopulation problem.[3]) They are also much more likely to develop addictions to other solely Scottish things, likebagpipes, kilts, and the water of life.
Several campaigns were launched against the production of Irn-Bru to stop the addicts from getting their daily dose, but nobody listened. On top of that, the leader of this movement, William Wallace, was revealed to have been a Bru addict himself.
Irn-Bru has been clinically proven to increase a Scotsman's likeliness to commit a number of felonies, among them thievery, murder, and rape, but usually all three. An overdose of Irn-Bru is a Scotsman's most common defense for these offences.
Due to the population's lack of desire to drink anything but Irn-Bru (non-alcoholic, anyway), all soft drink companies, including and not limited to the Coca Cola Company, have pulled out of Scotland. On the global market scale, this might not have that big of an impact... okay, so it has the economic potential of Timbuktu.
