Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

[Kunty McPhuck]

Remember when Steve McClaren returned to England talking like Van Persie?

bless him and his dodgy hairline.

I thought that was while he still at Twente doing a press conference.

Don't forget Joey Barton doing his best Inspector Clouseau impression.

I remember arsenal knocked out FC Twente in the CL qualifier. He said in a dodgy Dutch accent that he'll get the better of Wenger. We still kicked his team out.

This is why England will never win another trophy.

Barca and Real have the most toxic rivalry, second only to Celtic and Rangers... BUT... when it came to Spain, they knew to put their club rivalries aside as the national team was more important.

These fools can't even let their club beefs stay on the pitch. Rio Ferdinand said the England team during his era was segregated by club allegiances. That team on paper with all it's talent, should've made at least one final.

Embarrassing.

They only did that very recently around the time they won the euro in 2008, mainly due to Puyol and Casillas having so much clout among Barca and Real players respectively. Prior to that Spain national team was like crips vs bloods

I wonder if the growing political tensions in Spain with the catalonian independence movement is gonna have an affect on the national team

Henry and Aguero were better strikers sure but you're nuts if you think Drogba and Suarez were better than Rooney at any stage.

Stop it fam. I’d take Suarez, drogba, etoo, zlatan over Rooney. It was a mistake to make Rooney stay at UTD when he wanted to leave. And in hindsight Rooney was right.

Wenger gets a lot of flack of the players he didn’t buy, think Sir Alex should get flack for the players he bought

 

[Ukbrotha]

Peak Vs Peak I'd take Drogba and Suarez over Rooney any day of the week.

So over the course of their careers? Of course if you can pick anyone's high and say its better than a certain player's but as much as a loved Drogba he's whole career isnt better than Rooney's. Same with Suarez. Dont forget these are players who have pretty much been exclusively strikers their whole careers compared to Rooney who hasn't and has been just as great. Sure if you're going to just look at his fall off sure but he has a good 6-8 years of been unplayable and thats him playing across the front 3.

Eto sure, way better but I'm not having Drogba,Suarez and Zlatan ahead of Rooney.

 

[Montez]

Zlatan no but Drogba and Suarez? Both on their day were unplayable.

Rooney scored big big goals but he never feared him like Suarez or Drogba.

facts, not even a debate. Dude it our here making crazy statements to save face

No it doesn't. It shows a poorly managed group of players.

English players are overrated bro, due to the english media and white man bandwagons. Leave it at that and keep it moving.

Who remembers when Joe Hart was gonna be England #1 for the next 20yrs looooool.

Rooney always been played as a Striker fam . Unless you're counting the handful of games they tried him out as a CM

 

[Sensitive Christian Grey]

Gomez really got a scratch from this beef

 

[Yayo Toure]

Suarez over Rooney easily.

Drogba tho.... there is a debate to be had there.

 

[gho3st]

Eto sure, way better but I'm not having Drogba,Suarez and Zlatan ahead of Rooney.

Don’t let his antics fool you breh, Suarez is class.

SAF was the best and worst thing to happen to Rooney lol....he forcibly kept Rooney at the club for his own selfish ends.
