raumdeuter: Mourinho found the perfect level for John terry His name is Phil Jones. Mourinho is even having problems knowing who is better between Phil Jones and John Terry. You come dey waste my time all this months
Compare Phil Jones to Terry and I will have no complaint
Mourinho seemed to have John Terry in mind when sketching out his blueprint for the ideal defender, though he is wary of direct comparisons. “They are different players and it is difficult to compare,” he said. “Phil is faster than John, John is better in the air than Phil. They are different players but what they have in common is that they enjoy defending and that’s what I like.
raumdeuter: Paul Scholes left the English team in 2004 about the time the useless Terry was making the team when he probably noticed those fake awardees like Terry Beckham Owen were the core of the team who dont know how to play ball but depend on award
The self respecting guy just left the trash to them
BTW I am still waiting for the Galacticos that got destroyed by Liverpool
Where was Paul Scholes when Romania were knocking England out of Euro 2000 Group Stage?
Leave that thing. England problem is tactical not talent based.
A nigga like Lampard with niggas like Kroos and Schweini with him woulda won buckets for Germany.
Likewise nigga like Schweini woulda won nothing without nigga like Muller and Ballack to make it count.
I won't disparage Schweini because he is one of my favourite DMs of this era, all I would say is if a failed AM like Schweini meets a successful AM like Lampard who used to bully him in the 2000s, he should rankadede. Even Ballack was not Schweinis mate at Bayern or Getmany, and he knows Lampard isn't someone to play with in that AM position.
raumdeuter: Oh Amazing, Englands best run came when an Owen Hargreaves who didnt win any of those FIFA or UEFA award was when ENgland had their best run not when the numerous award winners like Beckham, Gerrard Lampard, terrible, Cole etc were playing amazing
If this isnt a direct hit on the credibility of those awards then what is.
WHo was the ball playing or ball winning DM that won Germany the world cup? Bastian no award Schweinsteiger
You ain't saying nothing except about getting the balance of the team right which England failed to do in the last 15 years.
What did Galacticos of Madrid win after selling Makalele except getting disgraced and thumped all over Europe including 5-0 to Liverpool. That says nothing about the individual quality of each galactico. Its how you put the team together that counts.
Schweinsteiger is a failed attacking midfielder who was saved from years of mediocrity by LVG turning him into DM where he became World Class. If he ever comes across a successful AM like Lampard or Ballack, he should rankadede. Shoe get size.
raumdeuter: Which usual Engliah problems? The team that had award winners like terry Beckham Gerrard Cashley Rio Lampard so which problem are we talking about?
There is always an issue or two with England team. Media picking players whose styles don't compliment etc but the major problem in the last 15 years IMO has been the absence of a decent ball playing and ball winning DM that understands the position. Englands best run actually came when Hargreaves was fit, and that is no coincidence.
This has always been the case with England. Even Kevin Keegan the King of Germany and Europe cannot be accused of having had a good England career.
A40: Where were the teams Sonny Anderson tormented? Did they have 3 CL titles over a 4 year span? Did Sonny Anderson win a CL? Abeg stop chatting vague megedefegede
Owen never deserved. Balon D'or in 2001. And if he were Oweninho he would not make the Brazilian squad either so mechionu with your backup narrative
When Owen was scoring against Brazil in 2002 World Cup, where was Elber? On Copacabana beach?
When Owen was tormenting Argentina in France 98, where was Elber?
Face it, that's why Owen had higher profile than Elber. When Owen was tormenting their National teams, Elber couldn't make the squad. That's the difference and that's why Elber belongs with the Ailtons, Amorosos, Andersons and Jardels, not in WPOTY reckoning.
Not saying he's not a good player but if your own country don't reckon you to be in their top 23 players, why should the rest of the World?
A40: Madrid fans would tell you about Giovane Elber and the headache he used to give them. You are a neophyte for comparing him to Jardel and Sonny goddamn Anderson.
Middling striker? Someone that was Bayern's topscorer while we were one of the strongest teams in Europe. Ori e o pe! Elber in his prime was one of the most feared strikers in Europe. Tormenting Europe's elite like Madrid and United not some random and unknown clubs in the Uefa Cup.
Do you know how many teams Sonny Anderson tormented in Europe in late 1990s
Leave matter for Matthias. Shoe get size.
Elber should go battle with Marcio Amoroso, Sonny Anderson and Jardel as to who will take the last backup role in Brazil squad. . . . not WPOTY status.
A40: Robben is not obligated to list anybody. I don't know how this changes the fact that John Racist never got to the semis of any major tournament
You are a jester. What smelling oga? Why didn't Lampard ever replicate this performance for the Three Lions? When Schweinsteiger was dominating in Euro 08. Lampard could not even qualify his team for the tournament. Let's not even talk about the WC 2010 or 2014 and expose Lampard's incompetence further. Everything Lampard has done at club level Schweini has matched. However at International level Lampard is not fit to shine Schweinsteiger's boots
Please oga don't go there. Schweini has not matched anything Lampard did at club level. He has surpassed him at International level but that is due to the usual English problems.
Even still in Euro 2004, Lampard was top scoring midfielder and UEFA Team of the Tournament.
UCL, he scored in one final and won another one.
He has beasted against all the top teams in UCL including 3 goals against your beloved Bayern and Schweini in 2005.
WPOTY and Balon D'or, he placed 2nd.
Schweini only got hot from 2009 to 2014 after LVG moved him from left wing to midfield. Before that he was being compared to Joke Cole. Lampard was hot from 2003 to 2012.
You talk about 2010. Schweini at 31 was retired and finished, being disgraced in Manchester and kicked out of first team. Lampard at 31 scored 27 goals with 20 assists in a season in 2010.
When Schweini was being dominated by self confessed hõmosexual Thomas Hitzelsberger and Stuttgart in Bundesliga in the 2000s, Lampard was dominating Europe.
A40: You are a confirmed mugu and fully certified. How was Elber one of the most dangerous forwards in Europe not world class? Iwa omugo e o de face cap
Scholl was easily one of the best midfielders in Europe circa 99-01. You couldn't possibly know this that's why you would laughably list him with Valeron and Pires. You have a long way to go
Where did Kahn finish in 2002 POTY? Yet keepers aren't reckoned with. Maifren will you KIPCHOT
Only a drunkard would look at that Bayern team of 2001 and claim Effenberg and Lizarazu were the only WC players
My friend sharrap! Elber WPOTY? Why not Sonny Anderson or Mario Jardel?
Elber was a middling striker and everyone knew it. Did Elber win any domestic award in Bundesliga. . . . .yet you want to put him on the world stage?
raumdeuter: There was Scholl, Elber, Lizarazu, Effenberg, Kahn, Jeremies etc who were very influential in the CL
Jens Jeremies over Michael Owen? Now I know you're deluded.
None of these guys had the profile Owen developed just off France 1998 alone. Only fat Effenberg, leftback Lizarazu and Goalkeeper Khan had the profile to compete with Owen that season.
One was fat, the other a leftback and the other a GK.
Effenberg had the best chance of the three and walked away with European Midfielder of the Year.
A40: Schweinsteiger is also not on the list. Guess we can safely conclude Van Bommel and Lampard are better
Maybe Robben wants a true tackling DM (Bommel) rather than deeplying playmaker type (Schweini). What tactical excuse does Boateng have for Terry taking his spot?
As for Lampard, not only Robben, all Bayern fans know who their oga is. I'm sure you remember how Lampard decapitated Bayern with 3 goals in 2005 UCL QF (I forgot you were Arsenal fan then. If you don't know ask a real Bayern fan like Raumdeuter). Below is just one of the three goals.
A40: Neither UEFA nor FIFA are infallible. I remember the year they gave Owen European player of the Year because of Liverpool's Mickey Mouse treble or in 03 where FIFA gave WPOTY to Zidane for God knows what. Or is it in 2010 where Sneijder didn't make the top 3 shortlist despite being Europe's best midfielder
Beckham was good. Just overrated and had no business finishing twice runner up for WPOTY
Who should have won EPOTY in 2001? The UCL champions that year were boasting the likes of Carsten Waanker, Salihamidzic and Sammy Kuffour.
Their only player of world class calibre was fat semi-retired Stefan Effenburg and a left back Lizarazu.
airmark: Ronaldinho also could not be wrong, despite terry being his rival. I am waiting for the likes of kelvin prince boathand to smuggle his brother into his best 11.
A40: Beckham was another massively overrated English product. Why una just like to dey argue the obvious
He was massively ovrrated.
Wht we are saying is that you cannot argue with his award in 1999. He won the treble and was very influential in doing so, and there was no International football that year.
agrovick: 'Jerome has to find his balance again,' 'There is a bit too much hype around him at the moment. It would be good for him and the club if he came back down to earth a bit.' - Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
Cc: everyone who has a grind with egbon raumdeuter's hype of Boateng.
One small Kicker Award and he cannot behave himself again.
How would he start behaving if he wins multiple European Defender of the Year awards like Terry?
No wonder this eediot got 3rd class. He studied Mass Communication, yet cannot communicate effectively without spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.
At first he told us Kicker Award is for Bundesliga only:
raumdeuter: Boateng was Bundesliga player of the year meaning he was the best player in the Bundesliga
Now he is telling us Kicker Award takes into account UCL, League and Euros.
raumdeuter: Boateng body of work in the League, Eurocup(which doesnt concern Bayern fans) and CL made him win the award
Confucious!!
Kicker Award is the most parapo award on Earth. Explain how no foreigner won the award until 2004? The German parapo would rather give award to German players in foreign leagues than award a foreigner in Bundesliga.
They are using Kicker award to reward every German National Team Player slowly slowly. That's how Ribery was best player in Europe, 3rd best WPOTY in 2013, yet they gave the award to Schweinsteiger.
raumdeuter: Who are these coaches the world over? 75% of them dont even know anything about football, Africa has 54 nations voting Asian has another over 50(Kazakhstan, Tajikistan), Oceania (has Fiji Tahiti Papau New Guinea) these are the type of people who are voting Beckham for FIFA awards while the Man utd faithfuls who watch games daily voted Roy Keane as their player of the year
Cos they saw that without Roy keane Juventus would be the team playing in the CL finals Not Man Utd
So is it the Tahiti coaches that voted Beckham as UEFA POTY and the Papau New Guinea coaches that work for all the top newspapers in Europe that voted him 2nd in Balon D'Or? Ode!
raumdeuter: Go and see Roy Keanes performance in Turin(vs peak idane, DelPiero, Conte and Inzaghi) that dragged Man Utd into the final after going 2 goals down, Those are the type of things the fans see that make them vote him, Not the showman Beckham who is there to reap where he didnt sow, Thats why they are giving him an "assist" that touched 5 players before it went in.
Those are the people who know the contribution not the coaches in Fiji and Malawi who are just voting the players they see the most on TV
The only noteworthy thing Beckham did in 1999 was marrying spice girl not the football he played
I did watch that match, however one match does not make a season.
What did the Bayern fans see that made them completely snub Boateng in their voting, only for Kicker parapo journalists to throw him a bone at season end?
Boateng was Bundesliga player of the year meaning he was the best player in the Bundesliga
Bayern player of the year includes both Bundesliga and CL which means Lewandoski could have narrowly been beaten in the Bundesliga awards but performed better in the CL games thus aggregating to be a better Bayern player than Boateng overall
Now you explain how Beckham failed to win Man Utd player of the year(CL + League), failed to win PFA award(League alone), No international yet he was 2nd in FIFA award
My friend shut up!
Kicker award is not a Bundesliga only award. It covers all leagues including UCL and even foreign leagues. How did Bierhoff win it playing for Udinese or Mattheus whilst playing for Intermilan?
Roy Keane did not even play UCL final so WTF are you talking about?
Beckham was honoured by UEFA (midfielder of the year), FIFA (2nd in WPOTY) and all the top journalists in Europe (Balon D'or 2nd place). Three different bodies, and you are here talking nonsense.
If anybody's award has been proven to be a fraud, it is Boatengs. His own club fans did not vote him in top 3 in Bayern, His fellow professionals did not even place him in the running in Bundesliga Players player of the year. Parapo journalists at Kicker just decided to throw him a bone so he won't finish his career without any Individual honour.
You know Kicker is a German parapo award when they give awards to German players in foreign leagues, did not award any foreign player in Bundesliga until 2004, and even gave Schweinsteiger Kicker award in 2013 when Ribery won European Player of the Year and placed 3rd in WPOTY.
raumdeuter: No you are not being logical, It could be Yorke dominated the league games thus he was Man Utd best player in the league thus winning PFA, But Keane had way better performances in the CL and thus deserved Man Utd player of the year since Man utd played CL + league games
Who were the top 3 in Bayern POTY? Cos I dont seem to remember such awards. So where did you get your fabrication of those tales from?
So Beckahm who wast good enough to be the best in his home club suddenly was 2nd best in the whole world. Is that what you are trying to tell us?
Bayern Fans vote on Bayern website picked Muller, Lewa and Vidal as Bayern best 3 players of the season.
Explain how the fans who watch the team week in, week out did not pick Boateng but Kicker did.
