Other football 2016/17.

[Sputnik1]

England not looking very strong or stable. 

[magicrat]

Theresa May watching her team fail twice in a week

[Strontium]

Not enough guile to get through France's back 7.

[magicrat]

We would be a real threat playing 9 man teams 

[aRdja]

I stand corrected. Mbappe is miles ahead of Rashford and Sterling.

[corro]

Eric Dyer is one fucking awful footballer. Has nothing to offer but 100% mediocrity.

[Strontium]

Still, great to see another Liverpool youth team player making it at international level.

[Creator Supreme]

Dembele is fucking mustard!

[sir roger]

Our players are so overrated, Alli looks brilliant in the Prem but looks hopeless at international level. Our ball retention is risible considering the fawning over these guys and the money they are on.

Sterling is brilliant with the ball at his feet. As soon as he has to give it someone else or do something constructive with it, it's a fucking lottery.

 

Other than Ibe, this is the best bit of business by Liverpool since Torres was sold.

[Grinch]

Easily the worst England team since the early 90s.

 

No top class talent to call upon at all. Chamberlain, Livermore, Dier and Stones as midfield options, fucking hell. Henderson might just be their best midfielder too.

[Strontium]

Dembele is fucking mustard!

 

25 million euros Dortmund got him for I think.

[3 Stacks]

I never saw Brazilian Ronaldo as a teen and I'm a little too young to recall much of teenage Cristiano and Messi but I can't imagine them being much better than Mbappe is at that age. He's a freak. Dembele's not that far off either. 

[Jairzinho]

Cristiano Ronaldo was pretty shit as a teenager. Basically had all the histrionics that he has now but without any of the goals. Just doing step overs on the half way line and falling over a lot. Was only in his early 20s when he went to the gym that he became the excellent player he is.

 

Ronaldo and Messi were phenomenal as teenagers. The latter got a hatrick in the Clasico as a teenager. Mbappe is nowhere near that level.

[aRdja]

Messi was the best teenager I've ever seen to play the game.

 

Second one was Judas. Ronaldo was probably better but for a few years Michael Owen was absolutely electric.

 

Oh, don't mute the video. A cracking soundtrack.

Yeah. The "gym". The same "gym" as Ben Johnson, Lance Armstrong, and other great athletes.

The foreign players and managers usually do the thinking and the hard technical and tactical stuff. British players finish off the moves and look like geniuses. 

[Lee909]

Ronaldo between the ages of 18-22 was far better than Owen ever was. He was the best player I'd ever seen play. Had absolutely everything you'd want from a striker

[Lee909]

The fact the man could go on to achieve what he did after the 98 world cup final just shows how good he was.

 

I dont think he ever recovered from whatever happened in the build up to that final (i still think Nike pretty much forced Brazil to select him and pushed him to play) then the knee injuries post world cup took what made him really special away. Yet he still went on to play and score for fun for the biggest clubs and still showed glimpses of what he was (the game against Utd springs to mind). The thyroid issue finally done him in.

[lifetime fan]

There's a real dearth of quality all over the pitch. England don't have enough great players.

 

 

We don't have a single great player.

[lifetime fan]

Eric Dyer is one fucking awful footballer. Has nothing to offer but 100% mediocrity.

 

 

And Henry Winter wanted him to be made Ingurland captain I shit you not.

[Lee909]

We don't have a single great player.

Dontbe daft

They have a RB worth between £40-60ml

A back up keeper worth £30ml

A CB costing £50ml

A dwarf winger £50ml

Kane and Alli over 80ml each

 

They must be superstars
