its called "generations" breh some generations are better than others and that will always happen...i dont get your point...all the big nations always have quality players and develop them thats why they are the "big" nations..but some generations are better than others in certain things not in everything...

as for the club thing again you talking about competition between big and small clubs and that has to do with "money" not lack of talent...the teams with most money snaps the best player..its that simple the talent is not as spread out as before...but it goes back to my point about globalization of the game and the tv/money aspect not lack of talent

In comparison to their peers yes they are great but in comparison to the older generations not so much, outside of Germany and Spain very few of the big name teams have maintained that and for Spain this is their first cycle of success so they are basically the standard bearers. I just dont see any exponential increase in production of quality players just because of the reasons you mentioned like globalization or even professionalism. The athletes are fitter yes but without even going country by country the 2006 Italian team was better than the 2012 one, not at everything perhaps but probably as an all round team.

Intros for shows were much better in the 90s btw and that goes for all shows not just sports related ones.

I really don't know why this was slept on :wtf:

City Guys Intro 1 - YouTube

CRACK :whew:

haha, I remember City Guys. In general you're right, but then you'd have bottom feeding swaggering p.diddy inspired pissfukkery like this:



Now, I did like Smart Guy, I just always hated that intro with him swinging his shoulders and dancing.

everytime frush or anyone here says football players aint as good anymore i just :snoop::rudy:

the globalization of the game has taken away the "aura" of some players and nowadays everything is covered and seen unlike before...to me if anything i dont remember seeing that many good players ever talent wise..the game has evolved and like kunty says there is more games now and squad rotation is a MUST...

the problem( to me is a blessing) is that Messi/CR7 are once in a generation players and are a level above everyone else and it takes away from other great players that in other eras would be considered great or the best...when modern football (late 70's/ early 80's) "started" tell me how many players would score as many goals as say messi or cr7? they make it look easy but tell me what great players were scoring as many goals and making it look easy like them after "modern" football started? people were amazed when the R9 scored around 40 for Barca once but messi has done that for years and people are so spoiled nowadays by the likes of messi that when he doesnt score its a travesty/worst thing ever..

what globalization also did is the professionalism of football nowadays is much higher than before...shyt teams/countrys are more competitive/ or harder to break down do to the technological/medical/training advancements in soccer...the game was slower and there was more space back then but it has to do with what i stated above...now there isnt enough "space" but that has to do with the fact there is better training/athletes even in shyt countries/teams...also there is more "specialist" than before too but it has to do with the "space" on the pitch and tactical advancments made..

In all fairness, Pele would still dominate this era more so than Messi. Bigger, faster, just as skilled, he was like 5'8 Wilt Chamberlain.
