All you gotta do is put their list of accomplishments and stats side by side and it's pretty clear who the better player is. Not my fault your coke head countryman ended his career early falling in love with yayo.

do you think the difference in talent per eras is greater in football than say the NFL or basketball?

cuz I watch some highlights from like the 50s and I'm pretty sure I could be the greatest footballer alive if I played back then

While I agree.. you got dudes like George Best who looked like they would still be world beaters today. I think the counter argument is these dudes were performing at a high level with out being pampered (poor pitches, balls, rough tackles, etc) and most of them were drinkers, etc.

United> Country. I wasn't serious either but he has had struggles before with Spain and never carried it back to Manchester. Whatever keeps you guys from signing him

I conceded that

Apples to Oranges. The football world was completely different in the 80's. Talent was more spread out and players didn't switch leagues that often. Just taking a look at the list of European Cup winners from 1980 to 1990 shows how there was much more parity back then. Knowing you though, you probably won't because if it doesn't involve your beloved Ronaldo you don't give a ****.

Now **** off and shave those palms. At this point, they're probably too hairy to hide.

RM sign Eidiur Gudjohnsen’s two sons to their youth academy

Not sure if they’re any good but I’m on board with La Masia continuing to get trolled and also because the possibility of one day owning a RM shirt that says Good Johnson is kind of funny

Excited to watch my favorite Spain. The only team that impressed me with their performance so far. Played the best opening match footy even if it ended in a draw.

I've felt the same way when watching old school basketball highlights. The likes of Wilt and Russell were dominating unathletic,mailman looking dudes more often than other elite athletes.

Seeing footage of Bob Cousy doing some of the most basic dribbles imaginable and blowing past dudes like nothing def made me look at that era a little differently

agreed. they played amazing but shot themselves in the foot. they had 3 defensive errors which led directly to the 3 goals

easily the most attractive football that we've seen this wc

rolaholic @rck3sactown football is different tho, if you watch old footage of Pele, Di Stefano, or Puskas you'll see that those dudes had the sauce.

Vazquez gets the start. Thought Spain could have used a little bit of a different dynamic last match instead of overloading with CMs

I feel the same for the most part,those dudes were dominating playing with those old heavy *** leather balls,wool sweaters and just trash equipment overall. They'd be wreaking havoc with today's advancements

The sport hasn't really changed much rules wise either

Get up off your knees for once

His Ronaldo slurpage has gotten to be appalling and off putting.

He capes harder for Ronaldo than Gandhi caped for Indian independence.

 

[ihavemyownopinion]

Not even the ref is safe from scumbag Ramos

On top of that, dudes were getting mauled out there by defenders and didn't have the advanced sports medicine/doctors/trainers that athletes have today. The @%#% they had to fight through to get a goal was ridiculous

Mans caping for Ronaldo, but would never cape for civil rights. Must be one of his rumored boy toys.
