Why not Wesley Snipes and Bruce Lee?

20yr old Muller has 3 goals and 3 assists, Tell me other players records

They have been lucky playing teams who major sport is either cricket(Australia), Shoemaker(Ghana) or Ludo(England)

3 goals n 3 assists after his 4th appearance.
Sneijder is yet to play his 4th game. . . .so are Ronaldo n Villa.

Don't get disappointed when FIFA ignore the Nazis and give the award to a player whose team wins the big prize.
If Maradona eliminates you in the next round, start praying - history will not remember Muller.

dayokanu:
Lailai.
After Maradona comes Zidane, Cryuff, Ronaldo, Pele, Beckenbauer, Ronaldinho, Baggio and Muller.
Messi would always be judged by his success at the world cup,

After Maradona comes Garrincha then Pele and Luiz Ronaldo before Zidane.

[quote author=Kenny_G link=topic=469275.msg6294417#msg6294417 date=1277674916]when? Man utd alternate between 4-3-3 and 4-4-2 infact they tend to play 4-3-3 in the big games hence the reason fergie switches rooney out wide or even plays him alone upfront. My argument is that english press/managers/fans are very averse to change and whenever a manager introduces a new style they just kick up a fuss, just imagine all the noise they made when rafa benitez switched gerrard to a support striker role, despite the fact that he was scoring nigh 20goals a season in that role they still criticised the manager,[/quote]They criticized Benitez because he did not win the league.
The English media is about winning. If you win things, they hardly criticize - in fact, you are a messiah.

Fergie has not named the same team in the past 150 matches for Man Utd - he has never been pilloried for it.
But when Rafa did it and Liverpool couldn't win any competition, they went after him. Ranieri also suffered their wrath - they named him the tinkerman.

Ibime:
I think judging a player on the criteria of winning the World Cup alone is very superficial.

Good players win stuffs for their team.
Maradona in 86. . . . . .Pele in 58 and 1970. He was injured in 62.
Zidane in 98, Luiz Ronaldo in 2002.

Cruyff did not have to win the World Cup, but am sure if he did, they would put him up there with Pele.

Cryuff was outstanding but he did not win the world cup. . . . . .He's in the same boat as George Best, Zico, Socrates and Eusebio.

Zidane belongs in the 2nd echelon of greats. His stars were well aligned for him to deliver at the big finals (1998 Wc and UCL 2002). That aside, he would not rank higher than Socrates who played the same way as him.

Zidane is slightly ahead of em Socrates. . . . . .No one gave France any chance in 1998.
They won it before people noticed they were a great side. Everyone thought Croatia and Brazil especially would tonk em.

[quote author=Kenny_G link=topic=469275.msg6294365#msg6294365 date=1277674415]This result has been long coming, for all of england's good players the foundation of their game is fundamentally flawed. Just listen to their commentators in the EPL, any system that is not 4-4-2 is seriously lampooned. If it's not man-2-man marking its rubbish, players are never encouraged to keep possession of the ball; their fans prefer battlers to flair players so at the end of the day while they get away with it in the league and sometimes in europe they often fall short at the international levels because teams just wise up to their 100km/hr high tempo game,[/quote]But Man Utd won the Champions League playing the 4-4-2 formation. . . . . .
German's Bayern Munich blew the whole of Europe out of the water playing 4-4-2.

England's problem is more deep-rooted than the formation.
They don't have technical players. . . . . .Their talented youths are at home playing PS3.

dayokanu:
The player of the tournament so far should be between Ozil, Schweinsteiger, Lahm and Muller. 3 of them play for Bayern

How can the great Wayne Rooney remain goalless in the world cup after playing superpowers like Trininad and Tobago, Ecuador, Sweden, Paraguay, Algeria, USA and Slovenia!!!!

He doesnt even have an assist

Wesley Sneijder has done better than any German player. . . . .
Errrrrrrrm. . . . . . . .How can i also forget players like Asamoah Gyan and David Villa?
The Germans' stock are rising too but the hype ends when the team a player plays for gets eliminated.

Ibime:
^^^ What puts Zidane in such exalted company and not Cruyff?

Zidane scored 2 good goals in a world cup final against Brazil.
No one ever thunk any Brazilian team could lose by such margin in a Final. . . . .Thanx to Zidane who set the pace.

If Messi should continue this form, he will form a triumvirate with Maradona and Pele, a closed circle which Zidane does not belong to. . . . cos if Zidane belongs in such company, then we must also admit Ronaldo, Cruyff, Eusebio, Di Stefano etc.

If Germany eliminates Argentina in the next round then the hype about Messi dies immediately.
He still gets the hype because his team is still in it - but based on his performance, he hasn't really done squat in this world cup.

Compare Maradona of 86 to the Messi of 2010 and get back to me.

feasy1:
Very true, If Fabiano doesnt score he is useless.

He doesn't really get involved in the build up like the Ronaldos or the Villas.

Ibime:
You must be blind. . . . Messi is by far the best player at this World Cup. . . . any space Argentina create comes from Messi/Tevez axis. . .
Messi performance at this WC alone is enough to put him up there with the greats. . . .

Even without scoring?

Landon Donovan of USA has done more than Messi in this tournament.
I can also mention Gyan, David Villa, Cristiano Ronaldo, Alexi Sanchez and Diego Forlan.

Messi has been wack.

feasy1:
I'm with you on that, maybe Fabiano too but he hasnt been consistent

Only Ronaldo and Villa can make me change ma captain who's got 8 points.
Like the game against Korea, Ronaldo scored 8 points from attacking bonus alone.

Ibime:
^^^Is 8 points acceptable for a striker?

Will Van Persie or Robinho cop more?

8 points is borderline. . . . . .

Like last round, Yakubu was ma captain.
He copped 9 points and i made him ma captain ASAP and he copped the highest points in the striking department.

Van Persie is not prolific. Unless you have Ronaldo or Villa in your team. . . . .Stick to your 8 pointer striker.
Robinho might not play.

Ibime:
Decisions! Decisions!

Should I hold what I have or be greedy and go for more?

Go for more at your own peril
There's a threshold. . . . . . .If he didn't hit 7-9 points, he is going to be BENCHED.

@ DayoKanu

Though, me and you have never crossed path on this board but i must sincerely apologize for "seeing and viewing" you as a worthless and jobless Anglophobic troll.

I agree with everything DK says without apologies to the Pro-EPL commandoes on this board. Does Dayo go overboard? Hell yeah, but who doesn't?

But for Germany to keep on trouncing England on the big stage with 'em "ordinary players" (as some would posit) then maybe DayoKanu head dey house for real.

This current Mannschaft team  is the truth. Very ruthless, efficient and unforgiving.

Imagine Germany's next generation humiliating, owning and sodomizing England's so-called Golden generation to a tilt?

This German team reminds me of Soviet technology: very cheap, sometimes lousy but ruthlessly efficient to a pulp.

While Soviet technology may have lacked  finesse, this German team has an abundance of finesse to decimate its opponent and even give some out as a bailout to the next 25 footballing nations!

This is an indictment and a Big shame to Trevor Bookings , Scudamore and all the other clowns running English football!

Cheese n Rice. . . . . .

feasy1:
Sauron, trust you play the game by the rule. This is my second Fantasy Football, first was with Sun dream team about 3 years ago. Just loving the tactics one needs to apply to score points here. Its really fun now and should be looking out for EPL, La liga et al when the season kicks off. A good avenue to put the brain into some "fun mode"i'll say

It's ma second time in FF as well. . . . .

dayokanu:
Hernandez ko, Dehinde Fernandez ni.

Muller 3 goals, 3 assists Tell us about the Mexican

Hernandez 2 goals in as many as 1 start for his team.
U cannot ask for more. . . .

Muller has 3 goals in 4 starts.

Ma math tells me Hernandez is more effective.

dayokanu:
Maybe behind Thomas Muller of Bayern Munich

Hernandez is better than Muller

HNIC:
Hernandez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a goal
3-1

We have a gem in our hands!!!!!

HNIC:
Omo
This hernandez will relegate Berbatov permanently on the bench!

Looking like it. . . .
He's freaking brilliant!!!

TEVEZ. . . . .

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL

3-0.

Nigeria is a country that thrives on division. If u ve got a BSc, u will be told that it has to be a first class and not from a state university. They will say that 2.1 in federal universities is equal to first class in first class in state universities. Now with a BSc, you will be told there are no jobs because of your school and discipline. If u have got a first class from one of their so called good schools, you will be told that you are over qualified and threat to the management.
Bottom line is that there are no jobs and Nigeria is a country that has thrived on segregation/division to avoid addressing her many problems- from rotational presidency, to quota system,fed unis vs state unis, HND vs BSc , Muslims vs Christians, south vs North etc

It's not about division. . . . . .It's because the market is highly competitive.
Nigerian tertiary institutions churn out graduates every 9 months with little or no jobs out there. . . . .What do you expect?
Of course, employers are going to make sure they get the best of the best out there and that creates discrimination.

@sauron
i see your simpleton yabs again, throw more shots at javalove make i see jare. simpleton . nimphoonthwarts . oya yab am small make i laugh.

O4kaa ma homie, wetin dey happen now?
See as your Super Fowls disgrace us. . . . . . . .Kaita is a bloody nimphoontwat and FATkubu like Javalove is a consummate airhead.

HNIC:
Seedorf is also advocating for Video technology
Come on, this is embarassing
Ref looks lost!

Seedorf is clueless. . . . .

Alan Shearer is w@nking over Hernandez. . .
Priceless!!!

Maradona deserves to win this game - He's been through a lot.

odiaero:
and who said so?

What would football fans argue about if there's goal technology?
Lampard's ghost goal would be talked about for ages and that wouldn't have been possible with a goal tech. . .

HNIC:
Maybe we should wait until a World cup final is decided by a BLIND referee or Linesman . . . . .
football is fast becoming the laughing stock of other sports

Laughing stock?
No wonder FIFA is smiling to the bank and can boast they have the most popular sports on the planet.
When was the last time you saw BASKETBALL World Cup or Tennis World Cup?

HNIC:
Sepp Blatter and his army of morons

Goal. . . .
Higuain!!!!!!!!!!!!

We don't want TECHNOLOGY.
Football is very okay as it is. . . . . . .U will take out the excitement from football if you add goal technology.

eldee:
Hehehe . . . if you're that good, how come you've never been on top??

I am a smooth operator. . . . . .I bide my time.
Ask Feasy1.

Hernandez looks so sharp. . . . .What a player he would become for Man Utd.

This match is going to be explosive. . . .  .

I can see the early signs.
Not the drab game between Ingurland and the NAZIS.

eldee:
Everyone tot it was going to be 0-0 then penalties.
Would you pick Muller over Villa??

Buzz me on YIM make i tell you how this shiznit works. . . . . .
