Yeah, in terms of quality, I believe.

Not sure Mandzukic/Ramirez/Asamoah should be above Maicon and Kagawa.

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Sep 1 2012, 08:15 PM)  Not sure Mandzukic/Ramirez/Asamoah should be above Maicon and Kagawa. Leaving out Kagawa for examp., doesn't make any sense to me. Except for the top 3 or so, it looks random. This post has been edited by CHU-LIP: Sep 1 2012, 06:31 PM |

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Aug 22 2012, 05:18 PM) At the risk of being criticised, sometimes when the word 'loyalty' is thrown around it makes me laugh. Ryan Giggs has earned a fortune playing for United, winning everything multiple times in the proccess - is that necessarily loyalty? Totti and Gerrard of those are the most loyal given their teams fortunes, but even then they won a lot. People like Matt Le Tissier who didn't earn a tonne and played for a team who won nothing, for his entire career despite interest from much bigger clubs are better fitting for the word. /rant. Right, De Rossi makes a better fit than let's say Xavi. |

QUOTE And now Serbia's most famous sporting hero Jaric has waded into the row, raking up Britain's centuries-old links to the slave trade, which was officially abolished in 1833. 'Could Englishmen teach us about human rights? They invented hooliganism and slavery. Shame on us if they can teach us anything,' he tweeted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Pretty sure nobody from the slave era is ailve anymore, it's stupid that people should be punished for something they haven't done. And where does this myth that we invented the slave trade come from? We originally bought our slaves from Africa from their owners. Maybe his black teammate Luol Deng needs to remind him how much good the British have also done in the recent past. Or he needs to remember where he is, there's little chance the US is the way it is without British intervention. Or he just needs to be asked what he thinks of Genocide, being a Serb and all... |

Hmh, I'll respond to you questions Kurt, just need time to make a plausible argument.
But in the meantime something very random...it occurred to me that especially Brazilian players playing in the Bundesliga get often surpassed by their NT coaches. Obviously, Ze Roberto and Lucio are more or less exemptions, but one has to note players like Elber, Paulo Sergio, Augusto or Dante. Is something to it or just a coincidence? |

Kolorov to be questioned over racism allegation
Ah, politics in football.. QUOTE It is understood 27-year-old Serbia international Kolarov became involved in a lengthy exchange with a supporter carrying an Albania flag as he warmed up on the sideline during the game.
There is a long history of tension between Serbia and Albania, particularly over the disputed Kosovo region. |

Have you noticed, that if you check which Brazilian player scored more goals in all clubs from 5 major european leagues - the answer would be Hernanes from Lazio with only 7. Pretty amazing stat considerig how much talent they had over here in not so distant past.

It also tells you the level of crisis Brazilian football is going through at the moment.

Surprisingly, their biggest strength is possibly their defence at the moment.

Yep. But it's also not as strong as it could have been, since Cesar, Maicon and a few others deteriorated.
