Underrated

@faraz4071 @kpm584 Diaz didn't score four against a team from Azerbaijan.

@Emperorsaint4 @kpm584 Yes he did and it’s appreciated. Gordon outscored him Should i rate gordon higher than diaz ?

Diomande isn't ready. He needs space to kick into and run and with those first quick steps he beats most defenders but he has no answer for tight spaces, no real ball control there, so he bulldozes hoping to win fouls and rebounds in the box. He's a more physical Frimpong.#LFC

@faraz4071 @kpm584 Lol bro Diaz literally helped you reach the champions League final, and scored 7 in this champions campaign.

@kpm584 Diaz looks like top3 LW itw in bundesliga. Marmoush tore up those defenses with the best half a season we’ve seen recently. Most attackers in the bundesliga rely on speed and they look good with the amount of time and space available in that league

@Buchi_Laba I absolutely disagree. People forget this is the first time we had this process do you remember the previous one?? Finishing first then still having to play a knockout play off? That was brutal. The key for these qualifiers is just make sure your World Ranking works for you.

Africa countries Struggle at the World Cup because the qualifition process is stupid, draining and big Countries play each other thereby making it difficult for proper Africa soccer Nations to play at the World Cup. - It’s FVCKING too difficult and too LONG! WAYYY TOO LONG! Compare the Africa qualification process to Europeans and South Americans. It’s straight up.

@brokegirlKay Guys you don't get it Ivory Coast has French scouts in the league that scouts players from a very young age. A team like Asec Mimosas sends players directly to Europe because the connections are already there.

I wonder why South Africa doesn’t export and promote players from youth level the way Ivory Coast does. Looking at this Ivory Coast squad, almost every player is based abroad, in Turkey, Belgium, France, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Saudi Arabia, and Greece. That exposure seems to make a huge difference in their tactical and technical development.

@Mave_Official01 @TheHateCentral Actually they didn't go far in AFCON either bro.

@TheHateCentral They thought the world cup was AFCON 😭😂😂

✌️✌️✌️

@BouafifNour Bro the fact is there's just no quality in that Tunisia team, there's none. You were given hope by beating a French side that changed its entire 11 and had nothing to play for in 2022. Tunisia just needs to find players that are eligible to play for them otherwise you are cooked.

Yeah, we're genuinely the worst team in the competition and no one is even close. Not Curacao, not Qatar, not anybody. Every other underdog has at least shown some fight or a clear identity. We've shown absolutely nothing.

@theoldzealand Just look at their World Cup qualifying group and their performance at AFCON, don't think their performance is a shock at all.

Game 36 Japan: in complete control and opened up Tunisia at will, a win that guarantees a spot in the next round with a final match against Sweden for seeding. This is not a team you want to play later in this tournament, they are very good Tunisia: nightmare, most surprising story of the first round in terms of underperforming, conceded 0 goals in qualifying but have been blown open twice in this tournament, feels like their golden generation is gone and they’re just not up to the level anymore, dark days may be ahead for this once reliable team

@Bd_irB_ll Bro you said South Africa should be sent to Oceana, let's keep the same energy this Tunisia team should play in the Nation's League group that has San Marino and Andorra.

Just saw the Tunisia XI, Renard put the talent on the field. They probably still lose but this I can live with

@ManqobaLG @Skhomo23 There are French scouts with connections in West Africa unfortunately we don't have those. Asec Mimosas for instance always exports their best young talents abroad, just go do research on the list of players they have produced you won't believe it.

@Skhomo23 How do the West Africans do it? How does a 20-year-old find himself plying his trade in a foreign league?

I have South African PSL fans delusional that our league can fight at this level

@Bd_irB_ll I mean Nicolas Pepe is not a bad replacement at all

See what I'm fucking talking about

@pythaginboots My biggest problem with this post is the fact that you not giving us an actual criteria on what a GOAT should be. Your exact words were "I've never seen someone SO OBVIOUSLY NOT TOP 3". You can't just dismiss someone then not give us a criteria then call people uneducated.

Can’t wait in 30 years for the next generation to look back at the careers of Messi and Ronaldo on their 12k devices and pretend football didn’t exist because the TV footage looked too grainy. The disrespect to the likes of Pele, Maradona, Beckenbauer, Di Stefano just to name but a few is absurd just because none of you can be arsed to research, study the work of your forefathers and instead think the world began the day you were born. You’d think the current game is littered with goats across every position the way some are going on ie games never been better - perpetual evolution etc Utter nonsense.

@DanVMaul @pythaginboots You're such an idiot😂😂 Ronaldo was playing as a winger from the time he 18. A traditional winger that is. He scored his first champions League goal after 32 games which makes his record even more impressive. In fact he only scored 15 in 52 in his first Man United spell.

@Emperorsaint4 @pythaginboots The PR campaign forced the narrative of the comparison between him and Messi when there's no possible comparison. He's the CL top scorer because he's the one with most games & shots. He isn't even top 3 in game/goal ratio and he's the 2nd worst in the top 20 in shots/goal ratio.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo the most FORCED GOAT in Sports History? Never seen someone so obviously not a top 3 candidate but his PR campaign is insane. Thoughts? Have we seen this level of delusion in other sports… #portugal #worldcup

@mark1nhu @pythaginboots You still not answering my question I asked where did Argentina rank in the 1970s? I know the Brazilian league dominated in the early 50s-70s and there was no need to leave. I've never really heard anything about the Argentina league one being the dominant league.

@Emperorsaint4 @pythaginboots You know what, there was a time football was not completely Europe-centric. Clubs like Vasco da Gama (40s) and Santos (60s) used to beat the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona with considerable goals margin. Cracks used to stay in their country. Your optics are not accurate.

@The_mad__titan @pythaginboots You can't even read. I put Pele and Messi in my top 3 and said there's an argument for Ronaldo to be there, you keep mentioning Messi and saying Ronaldo fans are delusional when the question HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH MESSI.

@Emperorsaint4 @pythaginboots Ronaldo ain't all-time at anything bro. Just thought you should get that fact straight. Pele had more goals overall. Messi has more goals/game overall. Messi has more non-penalty goals. There's no category where Ronaldo leads anything. That's why they call his fans delusional

@Guok____ @pythaginboots This isn't a comparison on Messi and Ronaldo it's where does Ronaldo rank as all timer.

@Emperorsaint4 @pythaginboots If goals made people goats then I wonder what we'd call likes of halaand. Kane has been racking up no.s barely talked about. CR is often insecure when compared to Messi and despite his hard work, Messi edges him on he embodies football. Never seen a player like him.

@pythaginboots @sjatfkb Messi's fan base sent Higuain into international retirement let's not forget that.

@pythaginboots Is it because of the eye test? Yes Diego won a World Cup in which he almost did it by himself but man's only had like 10 titles throughout his career. Can't Ronaldo's consistency and trophy haul put him slightly above Maradona?( I'm just asking by the way)

@pythaginboots Okay let's have a real and honest conversation I get Messi and Pele that's a given but there's an argument to be had about Maradona. Don't get me wrong Diego was a God but he's best years were at Napoli and Argentine Juniors, where did the Argentine league rank in the 1970s?

@GuguMalwanee @WonderMahlobo My brother Sebelebele only recently got converted into being a RB he hasn't been tested in a high quality game. Our defence is already shaky do you want to risk playing him back there? This is a must win game bru, the Koreans are extremely technical.

@Emperorsaint4 @WonderMahlobo We have Sebelebele who can play in that RB position and actually be serious attacking threat with passes or crosses that lead to something. Mudau will get forward but he’s attacking hardly leads to anything. Most of his crosses yesterday were being defended by the Czech defence.

Hot take . I would bench Mudau against South Korea and start Sebelebele.
