The bae sicks. Accent was wildI'm watching this all or nothing on Man City and Delph out here talking like he a bad man. Toure and Kompany said that they lost to United because they got more physical, which was correct. Delph starts going off on them and saying that wasn't the reason. Talking bout "its the basics".
PreachIsh is an insult to dudes like Pele, Maradonna, Ronaldinho, Zidane, Ronaldo
You know the post asked who was about who was the best player in past 20yrs not all timeI'm sorry but Cristiano and Messi aren't even top two. If you've been following the sport for 20+ years, you know that. All those balon dors was politics and marketing weaving themselves in the modern game. Market the two of them=more money for all parties involved. Nike, Adidas, La Liga, Uefa etc.
As soon as the sport was becoming more commercialized, they propped those two up to be the face of it. I promise you, take the two of them, have them play in the 80s-90s when the sport hadn't reached its full commercial potential and you would have a different outcome. Average players, just a footnote.

Both players outside of la liga in other leagues clearly shows the favoritism they and their teams enjoyed in la liga was a factor.
And let's not forget the penalties to boost the goal scoring stats. People just caught up on goal scoring stats these days and prisoners of the moment.
When it's all said and done, neither won a world cup and they had competitive national teams.
You can't be in the goat conversation if you've never won a world cup. Especially with a competitive national team on multiple occasions.
