My apologies, I saw the link on twitter and assumed it was recent given that he's having another transplant. Point remains, regardless.

Both clubs named Olimpique, that's what made you think it was Lyon.

Am I the only one who's beginning to care less and less about football every season?

When a chap like Messi wins the Golden Ball three times in quick succession (while FIFA conveniently overlooking a lot of other players), when there is unlimited oil money involved, the quality of the game goes drastically down by the year, and when LOBOs (low-class-bounty-hunters) run amock, then what can you say?! |

Instead, I think not giving Messi the Golden Ball these years would have been a scandal. Sure, maybe they overlooked Sneijder and Iniesta last year given their achievements, but still the best player in the world won it nevertheless. Messi is at the very top, everyone else can only follow him. And I don't even like the guy that much. |

While I'd have agreed with you any other Wednesday, but the fact remains that it's unjust on other players. Xavi, CRON, Forlan maybe and Milito for sure deserved it more than Messi did. And don't forget the perfect, perfect shoe-in for the Golden Ball, Wesley Sneijder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) He did more in one season that Messi in three. Arguably. Individually speaking, that is. A club treble, plus carried his team to the World Cup final, and almost won it. |

Well tonight's Madrid game's put it over the edge for me. They aren't even trying to hide the match fixing anymore, it's like we have to just accept it's part of the game.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) It's a glorified drama running perfectly to script.

Pele says Messi not as good as Brazil's Neymar
I know Pele is an idiot and no one takes him seriously, but this Neymar kid has been hyped to the moon by everyone. I'm really eager to see him play top flight football. |

Pele said Robinho was his successor, and we all know how that went. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Thanks for the info about the diamond formation Fillipo. I just think what Carletto achieved with that Gattuso-Pirlo partnership deep in Milan's midfield was a such an inspired idea by him that took many teams by surprise and led to some of the most beautiful football I have ever seen, with Kaka and Sheva transferring that momentum to a winning formula. Until every team started studying and figuring it out and management failed to adapt. Haven't seen Milan play that beautiful and consistent football since.
