Like the every year penalty against Oly kind of a thing

This face is associated with corruption across Europe whether you accept it or not.

Why should he answer your question when you've been doing a fine job dodging his/our question for years? Again picking at one point while ignoring the obvious doesn't justify s%$#!. Please enable us more with your facts.

I'd throw in Mystakidis for Pelkas. Deflate that little ego nice and early. Besides the game will be hectic in the first half. Second half, throw in Pelkas, Berbatov. Still got Jairo and Rodrigues as well.

Pana97, it is really hard to judge. And yes, it's generational. But statistics only give you part of the picture. I tell you this much with certainty. The 40 and 50 goals that Christiano and Messi bang in La Liga, no way that would happen in the old Serie A. Not even close. They would probably get half that, which is still crazy. Back then, you'd be lucky to have one or two players get more than 20 goals for the season. The defenders back then were defenders.

To write us off now is ridiculous, with 5 games to play. Yes we did expect 3 points from this game and we didnt get them, is it the end of the world? No. Qualification will come down to the back to back games against the Russians. In all likelihood we will need 6 points from those games, 3 from the home game vs Qabala and anything taken off Dortmund is a bonus. It is going to be tough, but I think we'll go close to qualifying.

Forwards vs midfielder. Apples to oranges... If I was building a team, and had the choice of either in their prime, I take the Frenchman.

Zidane didn't rely on speed as does Messi. At 35/6 do you think Messi will be as dominant as was Zidane in '06? Me thinks not...

You should watch highlights of a geriatric Zidane dismantling Brazil and willing France to the final of WC 2006.. He was no longer in his prime yet he made millions tingle in bewilderment.Both Messi and CR7 need to win on the national stage to be compared to the likes of Zidane, Maradonna, and the like... Bonus: here's Zidane in his prime vs Brazil in WC'98 https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&persist_app=1&v=_lfs87QI8cA My God he was a Wizard in the truest sense of the word.. A midfield general.. A proper number 10 that controlled play effortlessly.

Well said. Players like ronaldo are the reason you start watching the game. I think if I started watching nowadays, I wouldn't be so interested. I feel for the younger generation, hell I missed out on a lot. Unfortunately the seed has already been planted, but it gets harder with each passing season. In the past, players were much more technically gifted. They were worthy of their reputations and salary. Nowadays you have the likes of Muller and Diego Costa...
