Agreed. For what is now considered the "top 5" leagues, the stereotypes are: Italy: Defensive and well organised England: Lots of pace and high...
That 90s Liverpool side has to be amongst the most under-achieving sides in English football. Lots of talent but they never really came close to...
Yep, Italian coaches tend to be amongst the best around tactically but it is usually very defensive.
I fucking knew it would happen, best chance in years of us getting to the latter stages of a competition and we blow it at home to fucking...
Serie A in the 90s was the best in the world, not as good as it used to be but there are some good sides in it now.
That midfield of Giggs, Scholes, Keane and Beckham is one of the best ever assembled.
People forget that in his final season Ferguson pushed an exceptional Real Madrid team, which were about to dominate Europe entirely, extremely...
Beckham is a tricky one to rate. He was basically one of the very best in the world at one aspect of the game, namely dead balls (free kicks,...
Oh yeah, no question. There's this weird retrospective criticism I've seen surfacing recently suggesting that Giggs was overrated because he...
One of my favourite ever players, insanely good.
In adding to Whiskey's point, @Xplosive , this is probably the best visual illustration of just how far ahead Messi and Ronaldo have been from...
Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) and Mbappe (PSG) are the two players seen as the guys to take over from Messi and Ronaldo. They're both fantastic and...
Agree with the others that Zidane and Original Ronaldo are the two 90s standouts.
Yeah, it's crazy how one kick can define your whole career in the eyes of some, and all your great moments are seemingly forgotten. The guy was an...
Fantastic player, one of my favourites growing up. It's a shame that sometimes he gets remembered for his penalty miss in the '94 World Cup final...
Personally I would rate Cruyff higher than Best if you take into account the length of his career at the top level and his impact on the game,...
Yep, absolutely. I think guys like Maradona, Best, Gascoigne etc had incredible football minds and could see and do things other players couldn't,...
Yeah he's definitely the GOAT for me. As Feebs has said before, he could do skills with an orange that most players couldn't do with an actual...
It's shaping up to be a three-horse race this season between City, Liverpool and Chelsea. I do agree the Premier League is definitely the top...
I do agree though. I'm a novice when it comes to basketball but I follow when I can. It seems like Steph Curry and the new emphasis on 3-pointers...
I dunno, Haaland is at Dortmund... ...:Jest::Scared:
Yep, the likes of Best and Gazza just can't be saved from themselves at the end of the day.
Yeah I'd agree with that. I think in say sports like basketball, big changes would be more pronounced as it's 5-a-side. In football in 11-a-side...
The guy is a teacher too... :Jest:
Yep, the game and tactics change a lot era to era but the greats of the game would be successful in any time.
Good post but I'd say Best would still be way too talented to not have a significant impact at world level. Maybe not the same, as like you say he...

I have no horse in this race really, but objectively I think Canelo wins fairly comfortably at 160.
Last away player to score a league hat trick against Man Utd at Old Trafford. It's been going since 1992.
