Wow, the top 10% can choose when or when not to work. Klopp is no different by quitting this summer. Whereas, majority nowadays work paycheck to paycheck, and cannot take a break even when they need or want.

He aren't struggling, maybe his plan was always just a 6 months handsomely paid holiday. And it's a lesson for all of us. These modern footballers are like politicians, all their beliefs have been taken with a pinch of salt. And how common people espeically young kids need better heroes than...

No issues. They are free to put anything on their own social media. Like in election season, many Brazilian footballer clearly showed their stance. It is freedom and has be respected. My main issue when they bring their politics on the pitch. Like, Moeen Ali wearing the Free Palestine bands ...

Lots of jealousy. His footballing peers must be extremely jealous and envy. Henderson brings no stardom, no style, even no really assists/goals. Yet he is getting the big money. Mainly because of his connections, or rather his friendship with Gerrard. Connections always matter for success, and...

Good thread. I now completely ignore the numbers of transfer fees or wages. The numbers are crazy high. It is their money, not mine. There is no more "we" when talking about clubs or their players.

The 100M corrupts the opinion of the fans. Imo, we should not judge players of their transfer fees anymore, they are their big money, and the fans are irrelevant today. Without the price-tag, it's clear LFC are better with him in the team, and he is taking the shots, just not precise enough.

Brilliant WC, and will miss it. It's great to watch/talk about this sport with the gf, family. The people who matters the most being there for the occasion. The WC, there is more context, more connections and more fun.

Its like pre-season. These international teams have little gelling time and preparation. so like clubs in preseason, these national teams are out of rhythm, yet the passion overrides everything. That alone makes world cup the best

What about money making them stupid? These are big big millionaires, and surely, some of think go crazy with all that money. Their head must be away from reality, and general information.

Fans are one-dimensional, and think based on hot trends. Now, geganpressing is the thing, so Ronaldo is out is the logic. Yet, Ronaldo has great strengths, and his future career path will be based on that. Not his weakness or geganpress requirement.

These owners see the club, like their employees (players) as commodities. Nothing wrong with that, and they will always look to buy cheap, sell high. The fans are always pointless, irrelevant and meant for exploitation. Then, their are super-owners, for whom ownership is about ego, power and...

Football players are different. They elites play in a competitive team environment, and yet want to dictate their own terms. Federer is a different sport of more individual values and control.

I would think all elite players have big ego, and you do need that at the highest level to succeed. There is incredible money, jealously, fame in this game. Thus, there is nothing wrong or special on Ronaldo. It's just that he speaks English, and can reach the audience directly. And he choose...

EPL is the harsh league with lots of press freedom, questions, and criticism. Mbappe isn't going to thrive in such a "hostile" environment.

Kudos to Mbappe. Mr consistent. He has shown it again, irrespective of money or power, he will always be a diva.
