Leicester's scored 3 goals and are down 2-1
I don't think Toney is the only one betting on games
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying he was trash
he was an amazing player.I might be coming off overly dismissive because I'm judging him based on GOAT standard where he is often placed.

I'll accept that. I just think people are overly harsh on him because he hasn't got the stats. I watched enough of him particularly from the 96 UCL semi final against Ajax. That's when I started paying close attention to him. And even in games he hasn't been impactful he still did things that take your breath away. Add to the fact he was a big game player. And how he completely dominated the 2006 world cup.Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying he was trash

They did offer him an 8-year contract recently but he rejected it.
Come the summer he has 1 year left with an option of a further year, so basically 2. They'll 100% sell him this summer because a year later his value plummets.
Chelsea probably.

I’m now even deeping that tier bullshyt. Trying to tell me Pavel Nedved is a tier above Kaka and Totti?
He's not GOAT tier and tbh on that image the GOAT tier is far too bloated.Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying he was trash

GOAT tier is(no order, but we know it's Messi)
Pele
Messi
Maradona
C. Ronaldo
(Look I hate Ronaldo more than probably anyone here but the idea he's second tier there is insanity
)Then under that your tiers are much bigger.
Zidane is at the VERY top of the 'god tier' on par with a bunch of others.

He should stay there. He aint ready for top level. Man Is afraid to receive the ball if a player is whithin 1-2 feet of him

that chart is a bit old now so for examplo messi should be moved up (and mbappe is missing .... ).
i think it is supposed to be in order so from best to worst within each tier - making zindane the 2nd worst in the GOAT tier.
1998
and then in 2006 as well ...
I initially wrote "WC/International play and five Madrid years" but then deleted it
My thinking was that if he was judged by today's media/fan standards and expectations he would be savaged for some of those France results.
But I might be wrong to use today's 'standards' to judge him. Because let's face it these 'standards/metrics' are fukking trash and I don't really pay any mind to them
