Louder for those at the back :ohhh:


Bbbbut Ronaldo is carrying Portugal :mjlol: stupid


Also a BIGGER indicator that Madirds Galaticos method and Barca' La Masia we're godbody for an entire generation. Between them that's like 7 UCL all but one La Liga in the past 10 years. Numerous cups.... literally two sides of the same squad building coin. Both Portugal and Arg have lacked in developing homegrown talent because everyone is getting shipped to Europe. Meanwhile, the teams doing well are either ferociously nationalistic (Spain, Croatia) or have 2nd or 3rd generation decendants of colonized nations (France, England, Belgium)

Madrid's transformative super stars and Barca's harmonious golden generation.

It won't happen this way ever again. The era is over.

America got a new generation is that is a legit golden generation coming up. Pulisic,Weah, McKinnie and a couple other really young nikkas

2022 should be a good warm up, but 2026 should be the year USA can really make noise on the international scene. World Cup at home and all these current 18-19 year olds will be prime age of 26-27.

Messi and Ronaldo both have 0 knockout stage goals in 4 World Cups.

That has definitely diminished their GOAT status for me.

GOAT club players but I cant honestly say they are overall GOAT.

Yes but the handful of games played in the world cup shouldn't determine the greatness of a player. Consistent performance over hundreds of games, season after season at the highest level (which means club level) is what's important.

No its not. Especially when its a player who is at Real Madrid or Barcelona and plays most of the time against teams with far less talent. Those teams Messi and Ronaldo play on are essentially all-star teams. Its not until the quarterfinals of the Champions League that they even play a worthy opponent that is close to them in talent.

No. The world cup is a much better tool for evaluating greatness than club soccer. How come? Because in most cases talent is more widely spread. And that should allow the very best players to emerge better than they would in club soccer when they play on an all-star team against a team with far less talent.

Until we get a black star like Mpabbe, we ain't winning shyt.

I could see us making the quarterfinals again in 2026. But I don't see us making any real noise.
