Messi makes it official that he is staying at Barcelona
Announcement will be made this evening

TheSuperNerd:
Firstly, at least you stylishly agree now that Alampasu is not playing at the highest level compared to at least two of the lads now. Okay, Let me say even one... Yakubu. So that is settled.


Now yes, The English Championship is definitely better than some top flight leagues in Europe. Players playing in Sweden for instance may make moves to the Championship and it is seen as an Upgrade. Coz it is easier making it into the EPL from the Championship than to make it into the EPL straight from the Swedish Allsvenskan. The rarity of it is there.

Afterall, England is #2 and Sweden is #21. Would you also say playing in the Israeli top flight is better than playing in the Championship? Or the top flight of Kazakhstan is better than the Championship? Ofcos not. So you see... Even some second tiers are better off in quality compared to some top flights. And from my observations after watching a couple games across all three leagues, that is the case with Israeli 2nd tier and Austrian 2nd tier compared to Latvia.



The latest 2020 rankings you show actually has Israel in #23 and Latvia in #37. That is a 14 places difference. Not 12.

And Yes, based on this Austria is 25 places ahead of Latvia. Still emphasises my point. 28 or 25... It is still over 20 places above Latvia.

I have been using the postulated 2021 ratings that follows the latest 2020 ratings as released by UEFA on August 26/27.

Where did I agree in this post?

I only corrected you and asked a question.

The last time I checked they are not playing in the FIRST DIVISION of Austria and Isreali leagues. That's is a big fat lie.

Which of the League is championship better than? Isreali, Switzerland, Greece Swedish etc?

Players move from championship to Swedish leagues too. It doesn't justify your assertion.

forgiveness:


Point of correction, Austria league places 25 above Latvia league while Isreal league 12 places above Latvia league.

Based on your assertion, is Championship better than Isreali, Serbian, Sweden Switzerland, Greece, leagues?

Ok

La stagione sta per iniziare, quindi aspettiamo

Hehehehehe.... You didn't reply to the part of Yakubu playing in a much better league than Alampasu naa. You completely left it unaddressed. So you "stylishly" agreed. Or you still saying that is not so?


And there was nothing really to correct. Was using 2021 rankings that will kick in once this year is over, Latvia will be #38 dropping one place from #37. Austria will be #10. Moving 2 places up from #12. And Israel will be #22. It was only a matter of which year ratings we were using. The one you dropped is for 2020 but small changes are expected to be made soon.


Now, I corrected you on the 2020 rankings saying Israel is actually 14 places higher than Latvia. You said 12. Probably a miscalculation on your part. And the point remains same... Both Austria and Israel are leagues upon leagues above Latvia. Finito on that.


And I already answered you on this 2nd tier thing. I just told you English Championship is definitely better in quality than some top flights in Europe like Sweden for instance. And I see the same thing when the 2nd tiers of Israel and Austria are brought in comparison with Latvia based on quality. Simple.
The Championship is definitely better than some top flight leagues in Europe like Sweden, Norway and even Israel but since there is no actual rankings to assess that would you say that is also not true? Come on. Lol.

I will like to see how he fits in Barcelona though and the 10mil is reasonable

Victor oh My Victor.... What else can I say?

The Monster Machine himself.

Danielnino00:


You probably didn't read your first paragraph well..

According to you,we should use UEFA ranking to decide that Shaktar are better than Chelsea but moving to Chelsea will be a better move because technically (putting UEFA ranking in thr inconsequential), Chelsea is better than Shaktar..

Is Salzburg bigger than Rangers and Genk?

Anyway,Tijani has been loaned out to TSV Hartberg

Margin between Sharktar and Chelsea is minimal. However, Chelsea is in the top five leagues in Europe. Ranking is still on point because UEFA ranking of Chelsea in the last five years places Chelsea above Sharktar.


But both Rangers and Scottish Leagues are below Salzburg and Austria league in UEFA ranking.

On the other hand, Genk is in a better league than Salzburg though Salzburg is ranked higher than Genk but if we look at the performance of Salzburg in Europe, it is far ahead of Genk.

Is Napoli bigger than Porto and Rangers?

Napoli now 2-0 up. Lozano gets in on the act.

Napoli is playing 4-2-3-1 with Victor up top. Politano and Lozano flanking and Younes behind Victor. Hmmm... Definitely a test run. Mertens and Insigne will come in later.

Rare photo of Lozano standing besides a star

Younes being treated on field. Still Napoli up 2-0 thanks to Osimhen and Chucky Lozano.

2000 Cameroonian Olympic football team. He was part and parcel of the squad that won gold.

Mehn...excellent defending from Koulibaly and he surged forward and received the ball again on the right wing and did a sweet legover to get past his marker. Koulibaly doing leg over. Chaaaiii... Lol. Had that cross found Osimhen we could have been talking goal number 3.

Osimhen's hold up play have been excellent in this game so far. His linkup play also easy on the eyes. And he also tracked back when necessary. One time he chased a player all the way into center circle just to help his team apply marking pressure.

It may be a friendly but the lad is doing what he gotta do knowing the first real tests await.

HT in Castel Di Sangro. Napoli 2-0 Teramo Calcio

Goals from our Monster Machine and the Lightening Mexican, Lozano.

Couple of more chances made which Napoli wasted but Teramo have also defended well.
