capriccioso

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.

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

These flags

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.

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.

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.

Adriano? What a man

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.

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.

We won the Champions League. As things stand, both Spurs and Inter are in the same tournament, with Spurs still looking the better side.
