98 Brazil was full of men. Real men with talent, swag, charisma. No nose jobs.

Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Carlos, Cafu, Dunga man what a jizzfest.

But then again most of NTs were like that back then and almost all of them have turned shit.

Italy, Germany, France, even Holland And nowadays they're led by punks.

England has remained the same, thanks to Lionheart JT.

Can you just edit this post and say "I'm a bitter old man"


I don't buy any of this though. Everyone loves to idealize football from the past.

Midnight in Paris.

But anyone loving past more than present isn't necessarily delusional. I really think at least that Brazil was 10 times better than this Brazil.

great movie :D :D. BTW Woody allen's filming his new movie very close to me. I'm trying to go down there and watch. Starring cate blanchett, louis ck, alec baldwin


Yes, it's possible, but I don't like Mano. He's assembled an FM pedo-bear dream team.

He's not calling up the best players, much less using the best formations.

Lucky you. Woody and Baldwin :proud:

Brazil in late 90's and fro what I've heard 80s and 70s had character and soul. They had their own brand of football that attracted everyone.

Now Spain has repalced them, but they are cold and clinical.

This new Brazil is just opposite of that team. totally unbrazilian.

we're watching the most dominant team in about 40 years. Starring 3 transcendent players. How does it suck?

Does it suck, or are the teams you like having a downcycle?


I'll side with my pops on this. He's approaching 60. In his opinion, football today is a much higher level overall than 10 or 20 or 30 years ago

Brazil have a long history of being non-clinical/choking.

How many titles do they have? Now consider how many they didn't win despite huge talent.

1982 comes to mind

one (two) dominant team wasn't affected by the cycle :tongue:

i only like one team, and yes, we've been having a down cycle for quite some time. but it's not just us, feels like most teams out there don't have that quality i was used to see 10 years ago.

another problems is that 4-5 teams are so rich they've bench players who really shouldn't be on the bench. the quality isn't spread over europe.

i 100% agree on your point on the spreading of talent. It's annoying when certain teams benches are probably ucl quarter final worthy themselve.s

I strongly believe quality is higher today though. Overall quality of players. I think people glorify the past too much....

Woody Allen is God. He's filming his next movie here in Stockholm next summer.

Possibly starring Scarlett. I win. :D

This Brazil is like all the others of the past... Pack a lot of talent upfront and hope they figure what to do and win games.

It worked in the 60's and 70's. Failed after that. And only ceased to fail when solid defenses where built behind them (and usually defensive solidity is seeing as a treason of Brazilian football).

Really? The pedophiliac pervert who married his daughter? The annoying idiot who came out and did a press conference saying Obama should use the military to become a dictator and kill anyone who's against him? That guy?

If you are talking about Barca -I think transcendent is too much for Iniesta and Xavi, they wouldve been eaten alive by mids and defenders of the past where a dirty look in your direction wasnt a yellow card.

Maybe iniestas not


Xavi certainly is a top 5 player in my lifetime.

I'm 27. I don't see how you can argue it considering spanish/barca dominance of last 5 years. Its honestly debateable between him and ziidane for best midfielder of last 20+


And it should ben oted. If he struggles...spain and barca struggle. Euros and ucl showed that

hmmm. I mean zidanes rated on 'his highest level' but consistency. I'm not sure he was ultra consistent.

Xavi certainly controls a game better than both. Maybe not as directly impactful as a zidane could be but really his ability to dictate a game is amazing

Thank you - sometimes Senatore you should pause before you type.

Xavi is what?????????????


Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane, Messi and then you have Xavi?

Xavi is a great mid but he plays in a great team - that list is for people like Pirlo, Figo, Giggs

And lets not say he gets over them because he has a WC - he wasnt a standout above the others. Even Pirlo when everyone was jizzing wasnt the standout player.

Also Barca exist at a time where football rules are set for teams like them to put on exhibitions - the pitch, the ref, the rules etc.

Lets take Xavi and stick him on the France team and tell him lead them over Brazil, then come back after you have retired from NT and lead them to qualification and then to another WC final.

Xavi plays with a million guys that can control and move with him and he plays his part. It is a system. Zidane on Juve, it was like everyone including the opposition moved at his pace.
