Wow, that was a lashing. Real's problems will become more evident over the next few years: Messi is better and younger than Ron, Suarez is better than Benz, and lets not even compare Bale with Neymar. There is no one Real can buy that would put their front 3 on a par with Barca's.
And those tactics from Benitez; Barca had effectively 4 midfielders to Real's 2, and got completely dominated.
He was actually just trolling Obama, who as everyone may remember somehow got the prize despite doing absolutely nothing, and after 8 years of presidency has done nothing good for the world and has actually invaded more countries than his predecessor.
If I had to put my money on one team, I'll go France . They have a good generation developing - Lloris, Varane, Zouma, Kondogbia, Schneiderlin, Pogba, Griezman, Fekir, Lacazette. Belgium are also strong contenders.
Looks like FIFA 15 will be my last FIFA. It's hilarious, and disgusting, how the sports business is trying to push women's 'football' down our throats. Get it into your heads - it's poor quality, not entertaining, no skill or talent - rubbish. EA barking up the wrong tree here.
You wont find Utd fans putting up statues of opposition managers outside their stadiums (a la Moyes), or brandishing a huge banner ('Moyes is a football genius'), or starting a campaign to make sure their loser manager isnt sacked (again, like Moyes). Face it, Liverpool fans loved every minute of last year and went OTT - they didnt think for a moment that they would be back where they started. 4th isnt our new goal, just a climb back to the inevitable title win - we wont wait 10 years...
Loving it!!! After the rubbish Utd fans had to put up from this lot last year, it's almost poetic! Haha. #BodgersIsAFootballGenuis
Judging by his performance against Juve, Salah's the better deal and he's younger. Wouldnt be the first time a player left Chelsea and blossomed - Matic, de Bruyne.
Someone should make a Ron v Messi match.
Liverpool's hardly a paradise. A lot more in London for a young rich guy to do (he's also from London).
Makes Utd draw look good!
Disagree? It's a fact; simple mathematics of currency conversion lol.
No, this is 13-14 so the new GM and Adidas deals havent kicked in; it also includes a 7th placed finish. As I noted above, Utd have already overtaken them using current exchange rates. The strengthening pound gives English teams an advantage in transfers and wages, and with QE just announced by the ECB the euro has a lot more to fall.
If current exchanges rates applied, though, Man United would be above Real Madrid in top place in the ranking of clubs by revenue.
Agreed. He's still one of Europe's top strikers just going through a rough patch. Why would he even contemplate leaving the best team in the world for a mid size team in a scruffy city? Even if Real choose to sell him, he'll pretty much have the choice of any other big European team who can actually afford his wages.
The 352 formation is ridiculous for this group of players. Why hamstring the team by playing players out of position? - Rooney should be up top, either alone or with Falcao; Di Maria should be in midfield (in a diamond) or on the wings. LVG's making this harder than it should be.
A CB, RB, 2 CMs and a new winger are needed even after all the money that's been spent over the last 3-4 years (something like £300m+). A simply shocking waste of money as with that spen...
Everything involving FIFA seems to be corrupt and a joke. That said, anything involving a subjective element of judgement will always be questionable eg look at boxing and points scoring - there always seems to be controversy about why judges give rounds to one boxer and not the other. Maybe we need some objective standards but they are too difficult to formulate. Fans will always vote for their favourite player (or to spite an opposing player); these clowns at FIFA will vote according to int...
Happy for Moyes. As a Utd fan i knew he was a good manager, but the Utd job was too big for him. The abuse he got from all angles last year was unjustified (especially Everton fans who claimed he was 'holding them back' lol). He's at his best at smaller clubs with smaller egos.
On the other hand, I wonder if Enrique would survive if City put them out of the ECL? I'm surprised at the lack of creativity with a forward line of Messi, Neymar & Suarez.
He's 26 in March and he hasnt really achieved anything of note for the club. Are Arsenal one of those clubs where you just have to turn up for a few seasons and you are automatically labelled a legend?
First one defo not a pen, and the second one is questionable given how often hand balls are not given.
it was actually a stunt by PaddyPower, not real United fans. They'd already paid out on LVG being sacked and Mou being appointed by this match. Notice the club name/badge are wrong or fake - they obviously arent allowed to replicate the real thing.
