shymexx:Football is sometimes like music, you will hold on to the belief that the players and teams you followed during your youth are the 'best' and nothing modern comes close to that. 3 Likes |

solomon111: £40million is not too much for a player of suarez skills,technique,versatility and goal output. Torres loool. That was just waste of money. The Arabs messed up the game with oil money - no player is worth that amount except the little god, Messi. |

supaeagles: It's not just about that, it's about what they did with the ball. Go watch the winning goal Dennis Bergkamp scored against Argentina at the 1998 world cup in France, and tell me all those names you listed can pull that off. |

This squad is still young, so y compare to the dutch team of the 90s. Funny enough, that generation of Dutch team have no trophy to show for all the team work |

shymexx: Most of Bergkamp's technicality was shown in the form of cunning goals and trick back-passes - especially around box-18. Xavi's on is less obvious and is more of dictating the pace of midfield play with passes. A few Bergkamp moments like the 1st goal against Real in 2010 (?) El-Cassico. The guy will neatly square up with Dennis IMO. |

I.Joan: I am so surprised. Football these days is highly fast paced and extremely tight. Ronaldo involves in build up and beat opponents. Batistuta was just a point man relying on supplies. |

Uyi Iredia: Come on now. Xavi isn't more technically gifted than the likes of: Stefan Effenberg and Carlos Valderrama. He's just on everyone's lips now because he plays for a great Barca team. I remember him from the Sydney Olympics in 2000 with Jose Mari et al. The same team that was beaten by Cameroon in the gold medal match. He's a great player, no doubt. But defo not the most technically gifted player ever. |

supaeagles:But it's true. Go and watch step-overs of players like maradona,rivaldo,platini,ronaldo phenomeno. Any time you watch C.RONALDO do one of his fake step-overs,you will nearly puke. |

shymexx: Come on now ! Players evolve. For example, you can't place the C. Ro of FC Porto and Real Madrid on the same footing. I dunno Carlos or Stefan so I'm not in a position to judge. However, your bias for the old school players piques me for the sole reason that; from the few classic matches I've watched and lots of contemporary matches I don't see this better technicality you talk about. 1 Like |

Uyi Iredia: Bro., I'm not biased. Modern footballers are more of trained players. CR7 exemplifies why you can't really compare old school greats to modern players. Just watch CR7 closely, then go on youtube and watch the likes of Rivaldo and Ronaldo De Lima, and you'll see difference. With the old school players, everything they did was natural to them - no need to force anything. Hey, you can also compare Luis Figo's style of play to CR7 and you will see difference. Those guys were born to kick the round leather object. |

In mine opinion, the guys did well. For the mere fact that some of them played for the first time really showed dat the sky is their limit compared to mexicans whose team have been together for long time. As this guys continue to play together sooner than they will b one of the best to reckon with in world football. However, I noticed that we somehw lost our bearing in d game due to lack of technicalities from our coaches. We were just playing one style of football while the Mexicans changed theirs tactically. That's d problem with our local coaches they are always afraid to effect another tactics on the field of play. Anyways! I wish the SE gudluck come this Wednesday when they take on Kenya |
