chrisooblog: Actually, His contribution to the french team is higher than Mbappe's and Messi's in this very World cup. His crime is not scoring. He's outdone many legends in just one. WC appearance, maradona inclusive, except Goals. It's no agenda. It's a fact! Considering how Deschamps is using him again, the more the merrier. He is in contention for MVP. He's totally earned it, especially for someone playing deep and still best attacking threat for France again. All this makes me realize how Deschamps is so underrated by all. He respects the natural roles of his players and deploys them mostly that way. He definitely saw something extra in Griezz that made him get this new role. |

TheSuperNerd: I THINK THE ISSUE IS THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE THAT THE SOUTH AMERICAN LEAGUE WAS EITHER AT PAR WITH THE EUROPEAN LEAGUE OR EVEN BETTER SO THE FACT THAT HE DID NOT PLAY IN EUROPE CONFUSES THEM PEOPLE FORGET THAT UNTIL THE 90'S SOUTH AMERICAN LEAGUES WERE AT THE SAME LEVEL AS EUROPEAN LEAGUES EVEN NOW THE DIFFERENCE IS NOT THAT CLEAR IF ALL THE BRAZILIAN PLAYERS RETURN TO SAO PAULO LETS SEE THE EUROPEAN TEAM THAT WILL BEAT THEM TO A LARGE EXTENT IT WAS THE SOUTH AMERICANS THAT REALLY BROUGHT OUT THE BEAUTY OF FOOTBALL AND REINVENTED IT I DARE SAY THESE SOUTH AMERICANS MADE FOOTBALL BEAUTIFUL AND MARKETABLE 3 Likes |

@Emboldened... This right here! Well said Dave. Exactly why I said Deschamps' only positive is that he picks his squad right. But how to flexibly run with them tactically, this is where he falls short due to his predoimnant conservative approach despite the ultra-insane attacking and creative quality of the French side. And it is this OVERquality in the side that nicely papers over that crack. daveP: 2 Likes |

Undoubtedly. Age wise, I should belong to this Messi-CR7 generation and when it comes to picking the GOAT, I should be in either camps but I am not like that. I love to study and REALLY KNOW. I love to research deeper than what have been served to know who truly is the GOAT of football. My research led me to Edson Arantes Dos Nascimento, AKA Pele. I am glad to have seen Messi and CR7 from the start but mehn... everything I have seen, watched, enjoyed from these two is still dwarfed by the Pure Unadulterated Magic or Miracle that was Pele. I always wondered why I didn't exist in Pele's time. I really would have loved that. But then Football gave us Messi and CR7 as compensation and before that Maradona to show us whole glimpses of what Pele was. Pele was too complete. Messi and Ronaldo are like breakaway variations of the player Pele was. Ronaldo is predominantly all about Athleticism, Speed, Power and Finishing. Messi is predominantly all about High technical ability, Ball intelligence, Spatial IQ and Creativity. Maradona was is also a god of the game, a predominantly one-footed god but Pele, the two-footed god transcends in every way. Pele was the perfect footballer who had all of these and more. No one like him have come up again. No one. Only players close have come. But none above him and none that matches him in Everything. Truidstar: 2 Likes 2 Shares |

TheSuperNerd: If he wants to play possession football, Saliba dey to effect the point from defence. He even has the best squad for Counters. It's a big blessing to have such overquality. But i believe he influences the tactics mostly during the 1st half. That Tchou goal vs England is a flow of his setup. Our team have suffered from the fix in problem that natural roles are now scarce. If they kon sabi their moves again.... Bigger blessing. France should take this. |

Aston Villa youngster Tim Iroegbunam is weighing up his options. Iroegbunam is currently on-loan with QPR. The Athletic says some 'elite clubs' have put the player on their 'watchlist' with interest growing in the youngster. The report does add that Villa have 'no plans' to sell Iroegbunam as he continues to develop into a Premier League player. The midfielder has four years remaining on his deal at Villa Park, meaning that the club is under no pressure to sell even if clubs do come calling in the next couple of years. Speaking about the player back in October, former QPR boss Beale was excited by the future that Iroegbunam has ahead of him. “Tim is really enjoying it, we're enjoying having him and we can all see he is a player with a big future in front of him," he said |

The Argentines did not win the midfield battle. All their goals came for counter attack. The Croat underestimated the Argentines by pushing too many men forward while leaving the defense open. Nevertheless, you comparing, Rabiot, Tcho and Greizman trio to33 year old Modric, bench warmer Kovacic is laughable! mostob: 1 Like |

Marjoribanks:The first goal didn't come from a counter attack. It was a looped ball from midfield to Alvarez before he was fouled by croatia's goalkeeper. The last was from a brilliant piece of messi magic turning gvardiol inside out. 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd:All what you are saying won't really matter if messi finally gets his hand on the trophy. That singular missing achievement would propel him to the best player in football history even above Pele that hardly anyone here watched. Research can't beat eye witness in this case. |

Odunayaw:Did you watch Pele play? So much talk about how heavy the ball is, how players were clattered, how there was no social media to boost players profiles but nothing about how loose the offside rules were in those stone ages, food science for players to take better care of themselves see modric playing till 37 now, better academies to churn out players, advanced tactics, VAR, goal line technology and also social media and the mainstream media always there to criticize you to suicidal thoughts once a known player has a bad game. 2 Likes |

elyte89: The fact that you never saw it yourself doesn't mean it never happened. Your post tells me that you just started playing FIFA more recently and didn't play the much older games. Did you know the FIFA series dates back to the 90s? The Nigerian national foootball team was a regular in the early 2000 editions of the EA Sports FIFA series. I can confirm this myself having played FIFA Football 2004, FIFA 07 and FIFA 08. Unfortunately my PSP no longer functions, if not I'd have taken pictures to show you perhaps. I think Nigeria stopped featuring around FIFA 11 or 12. Maybe it's licensing issues, I don't know. This is Vic2Ree btw 1 Like |
