Tomo 21,751 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 There are many opinion's in football that are the general consensus but are there any that you spotted before it became that ? if that makes sense.There are two for me that stand out.After the Copa America in 2007, i said Messi could become as good as Maradona. 2 years later that became the general opinion.The same year i was raving about Moutinho when he wasn't well known (i was desperate for us to sign him in 2007), skip forward a few years and he was one of the most sought after players on the market.

kwylino 329 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 HS too before it became HUGE HUGE too, but if you are going for more footballing terms,Also since this topic has taken on a remembering stuff, I still fondly remember where gareth bale and chris gunter (though gunter would go) were going to get sold to nottingham forest years and years ago? but the move never materialized for bale, Giovani dos santos and Bojan were to be the next huge things in football around that time too, But it went not so well for both, i even fondly remember hype around dos santos being the next Ronaldinho, Hell i remember too a guy called Lulinha who used to play for corinthians i had a friend in brazil who supported them and told me lulinha was going to be a epic player, but seems like he has long dissapeared, i also remember a lot of people getting ......GIANT FREAKING spazzes about Gullermo Ochoa even putting him up with cechs and buffons and all that, he dissapeared (i know he plays in france but still?)also seeming to dissapear im sure you remember Daniel guiza also? remember people got quite raving about him too post Euro 08.I also fondly remember suarez growing to become something large-ish rather back when he played for gronigen cx,I also remember here being all :OOOOOOO When AVB was appointed, yet i couldn't ever help but feel it was going to be a bad reign...and it was, i was lobbying for hiddink at the time.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Bale at Southampton.Wish we could find the thread on the old CFC-Fans, I was incandescent. I knew he'd make it, I was gutted when he signed for Spurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew he'd make it, I was gutted when he signed for Spurs. I had a similar feeling about Jack Collison few years back I have made some shocking predictions in the past, but i think ive embarrassed myself enough already.

Thomas Williams 166 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 For every good football prediction I've had, I've probably had two or three very wrong ones (thought Kagawa would be a star at United his first year, a good recent one, lol)But I'm an absolute wizard at spotting good music before it becomes popular. Well "good," meaning it becomes very popular on the radio, etc. But I attribute it to the fact that I must have the most mainstream American music taste, so whenever I hear a band just starting out, if I like them, probably everyone will.You'd think I'd be able to profit from that somehow...

Yeboii 1,844 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Not exactly cool right now but. Adryan, a player for Flamengo, will be something good.And I believe Cuevas and Quintero will be good players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzchap 8,966 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I remember predicting Counter Strike would be huge and it was in early 2000's I also predicted computer games would be bigger than Hollywood 20 years ago in my career choices interview, I was laughed at by Teachers. Today I'm working in an industry that's as big and if not bigger than Hollywood! Shows how much those teachers know Football predictions - I'm pretty shit TBH... I thought Kalou would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
