Actually enjoying a game of football. wd PSG and Real. Neymar is a ****
I concur but then 2 of the 3 you have named are stellar talents the world does not often see and who we are fortunate to have seen in the flesh, as such.
Ronaldo is not bad either. Boom boom.
I suspect the Brazilian is permanently playing with a chip on his shoulder, he is not the acclaimed world number 1 that the above duo have argued over for years, his move to PSG was I suspect the result of pure greed and bad professional advice and he really needs to deliver the WC this summer to be viewed in his homeland in the same way as the many fabulous talents that have gone before him
Personally speaking I would rather have a Kevin de Bruyne strutting his stuff in N5 instead of Neymar Jnr, I haven’t watched him once this season and came away with anything resembling dislike and quite often it is simply awe.
Schoolboy error Wes as Jorge would never criticise Modric.
Sure hasn’t he been following his career and championing him as a talent since his loan season with Zrinjski Mostar in 2003, back in the days when he sat outside a coffee shop in Bradford with an espresso while reading the Gazetta.
God bless J.
I for one miss him.
Far be it from me to defend Mourinho but it took de Bruyne quite some time to "get it". It was about halfway through a season with Wolfsburg when he suddenly realised he could pass the ball rather than just hog it and shoot all the time, since which time he has developed into one of the best five players in the world. Given the generally cretinous nature of football fans - without going all Full Monty, no one wants that - he simply wouldn't have been afforded the patience at a "big" club to work out his weaknesses, hence I can understand Mourinho's reluctance/lack of patience
I wouldn't read it. Ken Early is the only Irish columnist I may go out of my way to seek down his work.
On a seperate but similar issue I was stood on Tuesday morning in the coffee shop queue right next to Mr E Dunphy. I was tempted to engage him in some light CL based banter but I fear I may just have had to call him a **** thus ruining the ambience and setting the day off on a bad foot.
Guess who he is talking about here.
""That was one moment but if you were to put together, as we often did on RTE before games, his showreel. It's wonderful. Wonderful precision in his passing. Wonderful support for his teammates on the ball. He was a fabulous players and I think the crowd loved him because he was reminiscent of a different era. He was a street footballer.
"He had the same kind of skillset as Lionel Messi. I'm not suggesting he was as good as Lionel Messi but the same skillset. A little wriggle of the hips and he'd lost you.
"He was a joy to watch and I can only imagine a joy to play with as well."
Do you think we can ever be as good as either of them? Wouldn't it be exhilarating to be a supporter of their's?
Instead we're stuck with watching Welbeck run about like a headless chicken on an astroturf pitch in the middle of Sweden on a Thursday evening :-(
Ronaldo’s 2nd goal was better than Salah’s IMO
one chance at it and computed the correct adjustments for the cushioned shot off the lower thigh.
What he does is score goals by the bucketload and wins matches - kind of a big ****ing part of the game, not sure what else you expect from him. He has also improved hugely nearly every aspect of his game since he broke into Spurs side - the ****. Him not you - for once :)
