The FOOTBALL thread

I'm not talking about Confederation cup only, I'm talking about TITLES they have achieved in General, Nether Cristiano nor Messi. Could bring a title to their countries, And Yeah, Neymar was the best player in the Confederation cup, He is the best player in Brazil, Neither Protgual nor ARG. Could join the Confederation cup even.

Note : Don't ''LOL" at ''Neymar is the best player in Brazil "part, In fact he is.

Quote from Wikipedia

South American Youth Championship (1): 2011
Superclásico de las Américas (2): 2011, 2012
Olympic Silver Medal (1): 2012
FIFA Confederations Cup (1): 2013

NIGGA THIS IS ALL HE'S WON WITH HIS COUNTRY, it's hardly noteworthy. You're acting like he's won the world cup for them single-handedly. If we're talking titles Neymar shouldn't even be mentioned in the same conversation as Messi and Ronaldo.

And he might be the best player in Brazil, but that only goes to show how much Brazilian talent has stagnated.

WORD.

You're comparing a defender to the supposedly best striker in the world.

He is ''one of the best defenders'' in the world 

[Ragdoll]

Whoever supposed that Neymar is the best striker in the world is clearly lacking brain cells. He's a great player, through and through, but he's nowhere near the best.

That title, in my opinion, currently belongs to Ronaldo.

He is ''one of the best defenders'' in the world 

He's the best in the world.

[Hady.]

His team could win SPAiN WC champions and Euro 2x; 3 - 0, This is a world cup itself ) Moreover, He scored !

@Ragdoll, I didn't say that Neymar is the best Striker, He is Just a perfect player with bright future

You still don't compare a defender to a striker.

LOL beating Spain is like winning the World Cup itself? You really show great understanding of the game.

Spain didn't perform well in the 2009 tournament either just so you know, they lost 2-0 to USA in the knockout stages and finished 3rd overall. Did that stop them from going on to win the World Cup next year? There's bigger fish to fry than the Confederations Cup, just get that into your head lol. 

Koscielny > Ramos

Chill, lol.

[Hady.]

You are showing a good understanding too.
I'm talking about Spain 2010+, No one could beat them and I'm sure you know.
When they lose to the final 3 - 0, this absolutely means that Brazil can win the world cup.  I hope you understand what I mean, beating the world champions and Euro. 3 - 0.

Koscielny > Ramos

Huh.. what?

Ramos is more.. let's say.. "battle-hardened", has leadership skills (yes, those actually matter), has 3 times as many Champions League appearances and thus much more experience.

Ramos.. a defender.. pretty much single-handedly lifted his team's spirits in the second leg of the semi-final last year and even though they lost he was pretty much the best player in that match. He's still 28 and he's got much more to give.

You are showing a good understanding too.

Dortmund beat Bayern at the Allianz Arena with a whooping 3-0. That means they should win the Champions league. But oh look, they're not there.

Spain's rise to dominance began in 2008 not 2010. Their lackluster performance at the Confederations Cup 2009 was right after they'd won the Euro Cup a year earlier, and went on to win the World Cup a year later. This brings me back to my point that only Brazil takes the Confederations Cup seriously, that much has been obvious since 2005. The 2-0 loss to USA was nothing but a small hiccup in the greater scheme of things just as the 3-0 loss to Brazil will be.

Neymar is not as good as Robben or Ribery so 4th best player in the world is an exaggeration, he has to learn a lot before he fills these shoes. He is not even the best on his position I am afraid. I am not even going to mention Bale in case you call me biased but we've seen who has done better in overall this year. And let's not forget who was the injured one and had most of the pressure on him.

I see you guys talk a lot about Neymar around. How can any attacker play his best while Messi is in the same squad? Messi and Neymar in the starting lineup is always risky, not both of them will be in good shape at a time.
