I wouldn't even consider him the best forward of the last 15 years. Raul, Henry, Eto'o, Van Nistelrooy, etc these players offered MUCH more to a team, just as many goals, more versatility, and these guys showed up in the big games and when competition was it's fiercest. Heard it here first guys, Van Nistelrooy offered more to his team and was more versatile than Ronaldo.

Any soccer article on Canadian news websites is like that too. There's usually about 30 comments, 2 of them will be from some random guy saying soccer sucks, 20 will be responding to that and the last 8 will be about the actual article. If it helps any though, I think that particular guy was just trolling because he drops these later in the same comments section: quote:Farfan is kind of an idiot. Magath works his players hard, but he's largely responsible for Schalke being one small step away from their first ever CL semi-final. He did get them to the quarter-finals. quote:Magath works his players physically harder than any manager in the Bundesliga, by far. The day after he took over Wolfsburg after getting fired by Schalke, he had the entire roster winded with side-cramps. There's a reason he's known as physical demon. South Americans are probably going to have the most issue with this management style.

Edit: To contribute, this is the kind of comment we often get on soccer articles here in Canada: quote:Soccer is ok, but as someone else pointed out earlier, soccer is the game you play while waiting for your skates to get sharpened in the hallway.

That's like saying that Ronaldo is the new Iniesta. Now, the new Pippo Inzaghi I could get behind.

i fel that man u are ojn the right track if reports are correct the spanish goalie & the villa winger a re good signings the centre half seems like over provision bearing in mind the other 4 centre halves on the books liverpool have staked all on caroll & henderson personally i feel they paid £5m over the odds for both men they need a left back if they sign the frenchman from arsenal it will be a step in the right direction kenny appears to buy a raincoat when his boots are leaking ie an attacker when the defence is the problem this sort of myopic thinking marred his 1st speel as manager arsenal have sign the lad from soton with a doubke barrelled name they pipped man u for him a good signing i feel they are also bringing in young defenders which is good all they need now is a decent goalie spurs too need another centre half & a long term goalie does anyone agree with me that seamus coleman of everton was the steal of the decade at £900,000? his pace & committment transform everton from a mid-table side to a good attacking force if only they can hang onto their bright young stars also srtengthen their small squad? if so the europa league beckons

More teams seem to be willing to give it a go this season making for more entertaining matches. I reckon Man Utd for one will tighten up from now on though. The team with the most solid defence will win the league and thats why I don't think it will be Man city.

Here, have a Canadian university student newspaper article about Inter Milan: From the Top to the Bottom Half: What Happened to Inter Milan? For the past several seasons they have been one of the top teams in Serie A, but this season they are currently ranked in the bottom quarter. Does Inter Milan have a chance at snatching the top spot this year? According to FoxSoccer.com, Coach Claudio Ranieri said after the loss to Catania, “We have to remain united and continue to work hard.” Ranieri is correct about Inter having to work. Working as a team, and strengthening a sense of unity among the players can help give the Inter players the new confidence that they need. However, there is no easy answer to explain Inter Milan’s difficulty this season. On October 17th, according to the Inter Milan Fan Club website, President Massimo Moratti remarked: “It’s a funny moment. It’s worrying when you find yourselves in situations like this because no one likes to look bad. And you hope to figure out how to put it all right. We simply must dig ourselves out of this.” Some of the struggles may have been due to the absence of several key players for the past few games. However, many of these players will be returning shortly, or have already returned. For instance, goalie Julio Cesar will be returning, as well as defender Christian Chivu, and mid-fielders Joel Obi and Wesley Sneijder. With these players back Inter can hopefully, as their coach expressed, remain united. However, Inter’s difficulties go past not having the right attitude or not having all of their players. Effort is lacking as well. The team needs results: more goals in the opposing net, rather than in their own. In order to rise up Inter has to work on its defence. In fact, the team has one of the worst defensive records in Serie A. All of the Inter Milan players need to approach each game with a fresh attitude, stick together as a team, and most importantly, remain focused on playing the game.

I found an old BBC 606 thread from when Lucas signed for Liverpool (July 2007):quote:I was went to a few U-20 World Cup matches while was on vacation in canada, and i got to see first hand what kind of player the reds are getting. Eventhough he is no Giovanni Dos Santos, this guy has the best vision and touch I have seen from a midfielder at the u-20 World Cup. I strongly feel he will be a exceptional Box to Box midfielder to go along with the brazilain playing style quote:He could be a good player or a flop as we need 1 a season. I say that if he isn't the best we will make a profit on him if we sell him next summer quote:liverpool are offcially the new chelsea there buying players they dont need and they will end up ruining there careers quote:comment by sycostill quote:Rafa has bought some great players in recent times (Leiva, Mascreno, Babel) - hopefully we will not be so reliant on our captain anymore. quote:5 yrs down the line it'll be an English player like Craig Lindfield or someone leading out the likes of Nemeth, Leiva, Leto, Simon, Pacheco, Threlfall, Darby etc. Etc.

its only here in the uk that people frown upon diving and think that it is a form of cheating. i coach youth football and i would never tell my kids not to do it - in fact, if they do it and do it well i will praise them - i see it as a skill. i'd much rather see a good dive than encourage a little 10 year old to "get in to 'em hard and let 'em know that youre there" of which could result in a pointless injury. unfortunately, the footballing culture in this country will never change and for that reason we will always be a second rate nation that is too concerned about being the guardian angels of the game rather than developing technical programme to improve us ON THE PITCH....i'm actually embarrassed to have anything to do with the f.a and english football - its a joke in this country....too concerned about our image within....trying to satisfy the pc brigade, tabloids, and people who dont know anything about the game....the rest of the world laughs at us and rightly so. anyway....the only thing i would like to see introduced into the english/european game is the temporary pitch spray to highlight the 10yrd distance between ball and defence - it works a treat in south america and stops the defensive wall creeping forward during free kicks.

i cant believe this. Has anyone actually seen the footage, does no one see suarez offer his hand and Evra is the one moves his hand back? its on Youtube for goodness sake or you can see another view on This Is Anfield website. No wonder Suarez said its not as it seems! Especially when poor reporting stirs it up more. I expect this to be moderated but hopefully the BBC will have the guts to go back, look again and start realising there is reason why Dalglish is defending Suarez and get back to impartial journalism. --- Ferguson has never won a championship whilst Kenny was in charge of Liverpool. Kenny won it twice in the same head to head period and only retired due to health isuse. No wonder Fergie sounds like a bitter old man with his stirring. vyelkin fucked around with this message at 07:17 on Feb 12, 2012 |

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! Luis Suarez has been arrested for the murder of Whitney Houston in a racially motivated attack...Eye-witness Patrice Evra says he saw Saurez kill her at least 10 times...Sir Alex Ferguson has called for the death penalty...Kenny Dalglish says he has never heard of Whitney Houston and has questioned whether she actually ever existed...Howard webb says he seen it all! I will say it again, expecting fair-play from Luis Suarez is like expecting a prostitute to be a virgin. Evra is the man. Good morning Man Utd fans and family and to all my friends.

That's what I thought at first too, but then I realized that Arsenal actually did beat Milan 2-0 in the 2007-08 CL. Don't know if it was in Milan or London though, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt there.
