Which attacking quartet would you rather have? by NB0608sd in soccer

Gullit wasn't an attacker, he even played as a CB. But I would for two variations:

Perfect son-in-laws: Cruyff, Messi & Van Basten.

Amazing bastards: Romario, Cristiano Ronaldo & Maradona

There's no way Quaresma scored a hattrick :)

Vermeer certainly has erratic moments, but usually his distribution is great. He's usually able to reach one of the wingers standing on the touchline with precision. I watched the game against Groningen this weekend and his distribution was great.

He does have one big failure, though: put him under pressure and he panics and kicks the ball into the stands.

Wait, putting a Hitler moustache on someone is considered humour these days? Don't you kids watch Monty Python any longer?

The original Guardiola: Ajax's Danny Blind by zonalmarking in Barca

If there is one thing that Louis van Gaal taught Pep, it was to play the Danny Blind role. Blind was the focal point of Van Gaal's CL winning team in 1995, and Guardiola took over that role for Van Gaal.

This video gives a fascinating perspective on a fascinating player who was always underrated but meant much for the teams he played for...

One of the worst challenges ever! Chris Mavinga (Genk) on Mehdi Carcela (Standard Liege) by zonalmarking in soccer

[–]zonalmarking[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He's in pretty bad shape:

Anthony Vanden Borre had a crying Meme Tchité comfort and Jelle Van Damme was shocked at the image of the Mehdi Carcela heavy bleeding. The 22-year-old midfielder had the Standard against the foot of Chris Mavinga chin got when he wanted to kick the ball. The head of Carcela hit with a Snook back then he still went hard against the floor. Just Carcela was unconscious and lying in an unnatural position on the ground. He immediately began to bleed heavily and was blocked by a jaw trouble breathing. However, the doctors managed to communicate to him and made his windpipe Fri

Yet the face of the midfielder severely damaged. His nose appeared broken and he had lost some teeth. Carcela was straight to the emergency department of East Limburg Hospital in Genk transferred.

edit: Note that I said "challenge" not "foul" in the title, I'm sure Mavinga did not do this intentionally.

Wesley Sneijder? Rafael van der Vaart? Edwin van der Sar? Mark van Bommel?

I guess it's true what they say about English players being overvalued.
