Best player ever?

Bold Tone

Just came back to the thread and Quincy's post killed me.
Must have laughed for a minute.

e: Back to the thread, i think this is one of the most iconic world cup photos.
Watching the tournament i understand the fear on the faces of every one of those Belgians.

For those who don't know

It's an iconic photo indeed but, unfortunately, the picture lies. 🙂
Ronaldo scoring his 13th goal of the CL season, which tops all players. Too bad he is finished.

Rex

Those are two different situations.

Bold Tone

I agree.
There was no need to spell out the goalkeeper's silly name.
Picture was gratuitous enough.

e: just teasing Rex ;D

Also to make Belgians feel a bit better, i will post a pic of the midget against us.

If you youtube the situation when that picture was taken, you will see that it is right after a freekick which goes straight into the wall. Even Maradona couldn't get teams to decide to put 6 guys on him. 🙂

What the hell is Matthew fucking LeTissier doing in a conversation about the greats?!

😆 The conversation strayed onto guys who were mostly just lazy, cool and extremely gifted on the pitch as opposed to actually great.

hahaha - Yup. The picture is a lie. Made to create a sense of inhuman ability that requires 5 guys to mark him. Nothing more than a freekick.

If you youtube Messi vs 3 players, or Messi vs 4 players, you will find very long compilation of Wizardry.

😆

Messi vs 4 players

Only a 14 minute compilation. lol

Rex

You are taking this conversation waaaaaay too seriously, my friend. 🙂

Fooking superb video. All the footballers, pundits, managers, they all know. Messi is numero uno.

Just seen the documentary Impossible Champion about Argentina's 1986 World Cup win.

Good stuff.

Maradona-u-ackbar.

Bold Tone

The 86 World Cup was the pinnacle for me.
Every single one since then has been a let down and i have almost reached total apathy.
International football was exciting in those days as there was no satellite tv/internet so you hardly knew the players from other countries.
