Regardless if football is at a higher or lower level now, it’s definitely changed for the worse. You don’t really see individual skill expression like that anymore. Football is more a formula and ‘by the numbers’ than art and magic.
Pele and Maradona on the wing back positions.
It’s obvious who was making the tactics for this team
Zidane played alongside Henry and yet…
3,2,1 @Phoebica
Zinedine Zidane claims that Karim Benzema is the greatest French striker ever
Lacks international success for this to be true but accurate at club level
I couldn’t find any of Benzema with the World Cup
Being serious, though, Henry at his peak >>>> Benzema at his peak, all day long.
Hes unrivalled when it comes to scoring with underage prostitutes and blackmailing his teammates.
Give a shit what that bald fuck says, Thierry is life.
Lovely video from Houllier thinking back to his experience of the CL win in 2007
No one comes out of this with any credit
Can add yourself to that list.
What does that mean?
You can’t go sharing stuff from the old days where we’re crap. The whole point of the old days is we can pretend we have never been crap.
Well it’s a Leeds goal for a start and doing nothing for my journey into work.
Bringing back a bad memory on a cold night at the ground.
Shattering my illusion of how everything was great at Highbury, when the reality is ive seen awful sides there too.
Oh I don’t know, I’ve now watched countless videos of old inter players defeating Milan, when Milan were way better than they are now, but I can watch with appreciation because I still wish both teams had that level of player, the matches overall were way more exciting with more stars who could control a game completely.
Still makes me completely nostalgic for the better times even seeing my own team succumb to rivals, because right round the corner was a trophy, and the team was full of great players, just how it should be for you guys.
Benzema has had as many average seasons as he has good seasons.
To even be thinking about Henry comparisons is a disgrace. Another awful trend.
Also, Pirlo in that second team is a travesty.
Modric > Pirlo. And I don’t even rate Modric as highly as many do.
But aside from that I like the teams.
Pirlo over Modric any day of the week
Struggling with the two either side of Marcelo
Wait, guessing coutinho from the bottom pic?
