[Lord]

Goonerbhoy: How could you say today´s soccer is better? You were there?
It´s a marketing word.

Today It´s more physical, but it makes the players better? They have to play hard but not better.
It´s just marketing! You are going to buy a shirt from a medium player? No! So the market needs 109098 great players! Like the great players that disapear after 1 year. (Just like music)
Today soccer is 50% technique and 50% marketing.

After you say Bergkamp is the best we could end the discussion, because... nevermind...

PS: How old are you?

 

[GOONERBHOY]

Only 17, but i know my football.
Todays players do have to work harder your right, with more cup`s than ever before. And why do you say "century" It britian we`ve been playing professionally for 120yrs, how old are you?

 

[PolishPower]

Goonerboy:
I have to agree with Lord, once you start saying things like Bergkamp is in best 11 of century or that Scottish league, or English 1st division is better than Seria A, etc. you lose all credibility. You can't make crazy statements like that and think people will take you seriously.

 

[GOONERBHOY]

I ment that the scottish prem and english 1st div are better to watch, you don`t need money to put on a show. I think you`ll find there is alot of people agree with that.

 

[sglean]

Hey Idiots, Soccer/ Fotball is what it is Today because of these guys who would be any eleven on this planet or any other no one can pick a squad without picking at least half of these players

1.Banks Best Goalkeeper ever ask Pele
2.Vogts nuf said
3.Brietner best ever in that position
4.Krol check out Hollad 70 - 78
5.Beckenbaur Every Honor in the game
6.Charlton ask Beckenbaur
7.Cruyff only Pele was better in the 70's
8.Maradonna ask England,ask Germany ask anyone
9.Muller greatest striker ever
10.Pele no need to explain
11Best only mistake was being Irish

 

[Lord]

No Goonerbhoy not many people will agree with that.
In Brazil no open TV shows the English Championship. We watch Italian and Spanish Championship. The cable tv (ESPN) shows few English games, very few. We don´t like it, they way they play.
And I think Argentina and the rest of South America feel the same way (pls someone from Argentina, Paraguay... help me here).

And I don´t think someone from Italy or Spain will say they like English championship that much.

Just because they have to work harder, be more physical, it make them better players?!
I assume you didn´t watch Puskas, Pele or Cruyff games. Not just WC finals, but at their clubs, at national team...

So you grow up watching Bergkamp playing? Uh... Now I understand...

My best player will be Paulo Vitor! Fluminense Goalkeeper in 80´. That´s the guy I want to be when I was young!
But when we talk about the best team of the Millenium I have to see the facts. And Yashin is better...

PS: 120? Ok let´s talk about the best player of the last century! From 1880 to 1900!
Duh...

[GOONERBHOY]

Lord,
I think you`ll find that more people worldwide are supporters of the english premiership than the SIERI A and SPANISH PREMERA put together!
And More people support a brittish club than any other!
WHY...it`s obvious!

 

[PolishPower]

Prove your point about England having twice as many supporters Italy and Spain etc. based on what? On your delusional dreams?

 

[GOONERBHOY]

No, no, actually something you are lacking, COMMON SENSE!

 

[celtic fc]

British football is the best football to watch.I would watch a scottish or english priemer league match before I'd watch a serie a or spanish primera match!

 

[PolishPower]

Wow big surprise hearing that coming from a mouth of someone who is Scottish or English or whatever your home country is.

Goonerboy what you call "common sense" in your neighborhood is known as "bollocks" in the rest of the world...

 

[GOONERBHOY]

PP,
Your talking a fair bit of shlte there. Where`s your team anyway?

 

[kevedo]

I'm from Argentina and I like english footbal. But, if I have to qualify what I like more, that will be south american football, italian, duch, french and spanish.

I don't know how to make the best team ever, but I'm sure that Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Platini, Eusevio and Garrincha should be there.

 

[Lord]

I agree with PolishPower.

English Premier is not the most popular.
I look at ESPN site and ESPN international didn´t show the English Premier, but the Spanish League. Why? Don´t know about Japan, Kprea or Africa, but here in Brazil and South America I know why.
Nobody cares! One open channel brought the English Premier sometime ago, but it was a failure, they just show 10 games, no one watch. We just don´t like the way they play.
We like the Italian and Spanish League.

So South AmericaN don´t like the Premier, now what about the European? I don´t think the Italian will say they like the Premier league more... Or the Spanish.
About Sweden, Denmark... I don´t know.

But watching the marketing, the midia cover (ESPN) I would say that Spanish and Italian league are more supported.

BTW just for curious how much fans Manchester United has?

 

[ezio]

Well I just did this online. SO here is my team:

GK = Dino Zoff

LB = Paolo Maldini

RB = Carlos Alberto

LH = Bobby Moore
RH = Franz Beckenbauer
LM = Johan Cruyff
RM = George Best
RCM = Johan Neeskens
LCM = Michel Platini
striker = Paolo Rossi
striker = Pele

 

[PolishPower]

Did you see the results for Best players of 20th century in World Soccer?
1.Pele
2.Diego Maradona
3.Johan Cruyff
4.Franz Beckebauer
5.Michel Platini

 

[GOONERBHOY]

PP,
Acording to who, not me and that`s all i wrote about .I didn`t expect mine to be anything like the majority that`s why i posted it.

Lord,
Here in australia we have Fox sports and we get 3-4 live English games and one Scottish. All of which are repeated the next day and we also have 3 different highlight shows.

But for the rest of the world we have one Italian and one Spanish game none of which are live. And we get 20 minutes of highlights from the entire rounds of the Spanish, Italian, Dutch, French, German and Sth American leagues just to fill in time at the end of the English Prem, Nationwide and Scottish highlights. The aussie media obviously recognises good Football.
