I disagree, international football sucks and ja rightly shunned by more and more viewers

most ppl I know don’t bother watching qualification games and friendlies anymore . 
 

the World Cup is still a hit sadly but apart from that not exactly prestigious 
 

Messi did this in 2016 btw. Temporarily Resigned from the nt till wc 2018

 

 

From a players point of view though and I don’t care what anyone says, there is nothing more prestigious than playing international football though. Thats never going to change because of what it is and the level of selection available to these NTs. Particularly for players who are eligible for these bigger historical footballing countries like Brazil, England, France, Germany, Holland etc. Usually when folk ask players whats their proudest moments are, playing for or captaining if their lucky enough to, their country and then trophies are always the most common answers. 

What Messi did was totally different though. Completely. He retired after the Copa America final they lost in 2016 and had to he talked back to the NT by the manager and team mates. People also forget the fact people like Maradona said if Argentina didn’t win the 2016 Copa America they shouldn’t come back home to Argentina as well as the constant criticism of Messi for not winning/delivering any titles for Argentina for years and years prior to that. He also took another break again due to dysfunctional issues around the Argentine Footballing Association and hows it run which resulted in changes. So not even remotely close.

where do people think Thiago Silva currently ranks amongst free transfer signings for Chelsea?

Hes definitely up there - but Vialli and Gullit actually sparked Chelsea revolutions , propelling us towards the Russian money.

Notably Poyet and Drogba second time round are also worth mentioning.

Silva breaks own CL record in Chelsea shirt

Last night’s performance from Silva even saw him break a personal achievement, according to statisticians OptaJoe.

The Brazilian centre-half ended up winning possession from Lille 12 times during the match, which is his highest ever tally in a Champions League game.

He’s made 94 appearances and counting in Europe’s elite club competition from his time with Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was a key early 2000's bridge/transition player too

94 goals and 25 assists (87 and all 25 for Chels) for club and country in his 4 years here

Does anyone think Lukaku will have 112 total club goals produced in his 4 years (hopefully less!) here?

Catch-Ups: Mark Schwarzer with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink

Think Superblue was asking who were the best free signings.

But Jimmy was an amazing buy at 15m - partnership with Eidur was pure smash and grab. Could hardly ever head the ball though ! ⛹️‍♂️
