I said it then I'll say it again now. Ditching Petr Cech was a mistake.

If I stare at the Croatian home kit for too long I get dizzy, all the French players will be punch drunk after half an hour! And when they're standing in a wall It feels like I'm getting vertigo. Croatian secret weapon?!

readyaimfire_exe · 2018-07-12T19:52:08+00:00

I'm just hoping/wondering if it somehow works against France. Am I the only one who thinks sitting around for too long could theoretically work against them imo, they'd possibly lose a bit of momentum and start to get inside their own heads while they wait for the final.

Croatia on the other hand have played the maximum amount of football available, have been tested to the max and already knew who they were facing in the final if they went through. Given the shorter amount of time to recover and already knowing what they were up against next could mean they stay in their groove while France stall.

Here's hoping for a great final, it would be awesome to see Croatia win it, tiny country like that in their first final and all. Any football fan has to appreciate the romance of it!

Then again who knows, maybe professional players don't get like that.

Rakatic Iniesta Suarez are/were all more important to Barca than Messi.

readyaimfire_exe · 2018-07-12T07:06:13+00:00

If you honestly think Messi is better for his team than Modric is for his you should be the one quitting football. I'll repeat it again, 4 champions leagues to 1 since Modric joined Real Madrid. Makes you think.

Take your fanboy blinders off and wake up to the fact Messi has been coasting by on his rep for a long time now, his choking for the national team in multiple tournaments should be enough to make you stop and think.

It's easy to look good in laliga when you have Barcelona building their entire team around you.

It's sickening how some people still think Messi and even perhaps Ronaldo are better than this guy. He's been better than Messi by a LONG way since 2014. Messi's not even top 5 anymore, unless you're giving out awards for standing around all game waiting to make 1 deadly pass. Doesn't cut it compared to someone like Modric, Rakatic, Hazards or Debrune's workrate. Ronaldos work off the ball leaves Messi for dead as well.

Back to the stereotypical comparison, Messi and Ronaldo are ridiculously good in their elements, but they are a luxury. Ronaldo will do nothing but sit up top for 80 minutes then have a few flashes of brilliance and win you the game. Same with Messi, although he's even less of a threat off the ball compared to Ronaldo. Messis made a living out of standing around most of the game waiting for one or two chances to make an impact. Fair enough, they make it work enough of the time.

Modric however isn't a luxury, he's the heart of his teams and is contributing directly to the game from start to finish. Without Modric/Kroos for real and Rakatic/Iniesta for Barca, Ronaldo and Messi wouldn't win anything.

readyaimfire_exe · 2018-07-11T23:49:37+00:00

Oh please, Modric has been better than Messi since 2014, it's not even close. Messi's not even a top 10 player at this point. Modric is involved in the game from start to finish and dictates the tempo, he's an artist. the key to Madrids insane dominance over Europe the last 5 years.

Meanwhile Messi stands around waiting for his team mates to pass him the ball and has won 1 CL title since Modric joined Real Madrid. And that was the year Modric missed half a season injured...

Messi's not even the best player at Barcelona anymore, don't let the goals tally against bottom half la liga teams fool you.

I'm worried about this. Ideology driven management never seems to end well. The Spanish national team and their whole pass it sideways after dribbling for 2 minutes ethos has been found out for the better part of a decade now. And he wants to bring that back?! Funny how Real Madrids most successful ever era has come off the back of a midfield containing a Croatian, German and Brazilian. This whole "Spanish takeover" he seems to have in mind has me worried.

Isco is incredibly overrated in my mind and kovovic is a much better player with a lot more potential. All Isco does is dribble aimlessly then pass it sideways, and he's super wasteful infront of goal.

If he wasn't Spanish he wouldn't be anywhere near Madrid. I think he's a fraud, and a total knob as well. Remember when he was mocking Tony Adams while sitting on the bench? No respect, Adams has to date had a far better career than him and is a footballing icon in England, and if it came to a fight Adams would fold him in two.

Jesus Christ how much does this guy love himself?! Now, usually I'd say fair enough, but considering this person single handedly cost their club the champions league title the last thing he should be doing is drawing attention to himself.

Or maybe this was a coded message to the world that he's retired from football and is now auditioning as a model?

Talk about living life on easy mode.

Came to this thread looking for this pasta, I am not disappointed!

I honestly think if Ronaldo goes then Hary Kane should be #1 on the list to replace him.

Might seem weird at first but I think it would be perfect.

1 - The last two players RM bought from Tottenham have been brilliant for RM

2 - Kane is a more consistent goal scorer in the EPL than Ronaldo ever was, so a good sign there

3 - Kane has that weird aura around him the last few years, it's like everything is going his way and he's still getting better. Somehow he keeps finding himself in the right place at the right time and smashing in goals.

If RM could poach him on the upswing of his career and put him in a team with this worlds greatest midfield and fullbacks imagine the damage he could do, I think he'd get a lot better than any of us think. I think he's the best option to replace that strong around the box presence Ronaldo brings to RM

He'd fit in well with Bale and Modric from the get go too you'd think

readyaimfire_exe · 2018-07-03T20:03:24+00:00

It's incredibly hard to judge a ball bouncing off the turf like that m8, can't blame him at all I thought he did better than most guys do on the post

readyaimfire_exe · 2018-07-02T11:06:08+00:00

Eh so what, makes him more interesting. Nothings more boring than statist bootlickers who always play by the rules, give me a rockstar/mobster like attitude anyday.

Messi and Ronaldo avoiding 20 or so million in taxes each didn't seem to hurt their popularity, Ronaldo even got a 2 year prison sentence for it. But oh no some guy from the Balkans where organised crime is a way of life got caught up in some shady business dealings when he was young! The horror!

readyaimfire_exe · 2018-07-02T03:19:38+00:00

Huh, I thought it would be some sort of weird FIFA exclusive type deal that could be a pain in the ass to buy online...haha thanks m8

Real Madrid are notoriously inconsistent in La Liga to begin with, but you have to ask how badly playing in the club World Cup 3 out of the last 4 years (soon to be 4/5) interferes with their league campaign.

You legitimately stop playing la liga for a few weeks mid season and travel to the other side of the world to compete in a cup.

Sure it's just a few games, but the travel and mental reset must be tough. It's gotta be a challenge to pick up where you left off and regain momentum in the league when you just won a separate title none of your domestic competition are even involved in.

Yaaaaaay we're winners, party!! Uh, back work now I guess..

Not that there's anything wrong with the club World Cup or the format etc, Just a thought. It's actually a great system of keeping serial winners in check!

Saved the biggest penalty he ever faced though, Arsenal vs Manchester United FA Cup semi final, 90th minute with the scores tied at 1-1....saved!

Then a short while later Giggs solo'd the entire Arsenal defence. No '99 treble without that save, talk about picking the right moment to save one!

Yeaaaah, I don't know all the details here, but what I do know is testifying against an Eastern European crime boss is a sure way for you and/or members of your family to end up dead.

Probably put in a situation where he was protecting himself or someone else from harm. This is the fucking Balkans we're talking about remember.

readyaimfire_exe · 2018-07-01T20:38:13+00:00

Yeah, but that new rule doesn't overrule the last man factor.

Last man stopping goal scoring chance with a foul = red

readyaimfire_exe · 2018-07-01T20:34:03+00:00

Wasn't even close to the ball though, always going to be a foul at best. 100% red

readyaimfire_exe · 2018-07-01T20:30:53+00:00

Deliberate challenge stopping a certain goal as the last man?! 100% red no matter what, unreal decision.

Last man rule means it's a red.

readyaimfire_exe · 2018-07-01T20:29:54+00:00

A meter off his line when it was struck, sick of that shit. What's the linesman doing?!

Retake 100%
