  1. Pele

    Translated from a recent article in brazilian media: " Before the World Cup in Qatar, FourFourTwo magazine published a list of the 100 greatest football players in history. Lionel Messi was already leading, even without leading his country to the world title. He was followed by Diego Armando...
  2. Ronaldo vs Ronaldo

    Some people really like statistics more than watching football it seems. Ronaldo would leave everyone dumbstruck and do the impossible on the pitch. Its absolutely impossible to watch both players actually playing football and still say Cristiano is better.
  3. International football beefs: who does your nation hate, and why?

    Not so much a beef my country (Brazil) has with other countries, but the reason the whole world aside from Europe has the majority of people cheering for Brazil is european colonialism, since Brazil always has the highest chance of beating european countries that plundered most nations. That and...
  4. International football beefs: who does your nation hate, and why?

    The one in which Zuniga assaulted Neymar and almost made him paraplegic?
  5. The natural successor: Has Neymar blown it?

    I am no Lula supporter either, but for every corruption scandal in Lula’s tenure there’s something worse Bolsonaro did. For thirty years as a politician Bolsonaro and his family have employed straw-man with public money to not work and give them back a share of their salaries. The guy who used...
  6. The natural successor: Has Neymar blown it?

    Personally, I don’t like Neymar one bit. But from a footballing only perspective he’s a player who represents a lot more of what I like in this game than any other player right now. The freedom to express oneself in a football pitch shouldn’t be curbed, the fact the guy gets such a crooked...
  7. The natural successor: Has Neymar blown it?

    I’m brazilian. Anyone in Brazil, naturals or residents, could take the vaccine from January onwards through public healthcare, despite Bolsonaro. The first vaccine to be available in Brazil was the chinese CoronaVac, which Bolsonaro publicly attacked many times and actually tried to halt...
  8. Let's all laugh at Brazil

    Croatia had 2 shots on goal, one on target for the whole match. uncanny how Michael Oliver looks just like Bolsonaro in a way…
  9. Do Brazil dance too much? Never gonna dance again

    The west is ruled by the logic of forgiveness. In Christianism the original sin made the world, so it’s necessary to mitigate in each act the weight of this negative conscience. For Africa the big Arché is joy. For the Nagô (the enslaved africans who spoke the Iorubá language) the world is how...
  10. Are there any genuinely exciting footballers anymore?

    Thats true, this was always a thing. But if football is missing “flair players” the fight should be for more protection towards these players. Like him or not, the way Neymar has been fouled throughout his career borders on criminality. Just yesterday there were many people in these forums...
  11. Are there any genuinely exciting footballers anymore?

    It’s funny that people miss “flair players” but they say nothing about the amount of cynical fouls being commited against ballers. I don’t really like Neymar personally, specially because of his political views and his persona, and being brazilian I actually feel more close to a brazilian side...
  12. Ronaldo, The Phenomenon: The Rise, Fall and Redemption of Ronaldo

    There are videos on youtube of Zidane, Seedorf, Maldini, Guardiola, Mourinho, Capello, Nistelrooy, Guti, Villa, Henry all saying Ronaldo is the best player they’ve seen playing live. Whoever trained with Ronaldo say he’s the best they’ve ever seen.
  13. The natural successor: Has Neymar blown it?

    I find it funny that so many people talk about him partying and going to his sister’s birthday, but few people actually talk about the real reason he’s been missing matches in the last few years: Neymar is one of football’s most fouled players ever. The constant hacking has taken it’s toll and...
  14. Say sorry for your conspiracy theories here

    That's the good post? My God, that's embarassing! "Sick of hearing about how it's 'theirs to win', it's destiny and all that rubbish." Not the feeling around here, at all. In fact, as a proud footballing nation, everybody saw the team wasn't playing well since even before the World Cup began...
  15. Say sorry for your conspiracy theories here

    The disallowed Hulk goal against Chile is a "clear handball", but Robben's first touch before the "penalty" is clearly on the chest? I see nobody in here has said a word about Maxwell's offside in the beginning of the second half. Maybe it isn't as interesting for some of you when the call is...
