See this is the way you will beat Spain put pressure from the start, not like Uruguay hoping you win the match from a set piece :snoop:

Neymar is much more complete than Robinho and just as or even more electrifying, he shows that in the brazilian league, which is definitely comparable to the quality of football played in Spain apart from Barce and Real. He will ball in Spain, and against the top level teams in the league and in Europe he will play the system football that Barce has adopted which means he'll still play great. Going to Barce could only make him a better player, similar to what could've happened to Robinho if it wasn't for the trainwreck that was/is Madrid with their transfer policy and the in and out of coaches.

The same can be said about Robinho's move to England, where he was sought out by City after spectacular, league winning seasons at Real. If City were to sign Robinho-like-quality payers they could've amounted to something and could've put themselves along with their poster-boy on the map, but the likes of Jo, Santa Cruz, Elano etc won't get you far.

:whoa:

If Mourinho is who I think he is Mikel will be the first name on the team-sheet.

Mike was pretty average last season in premier league but if there is anybody that can get the best out of him it's mourinho I guess :yeshrug:

Disagree with the Barca thing, don't think that's the team for him at all.

This makes no sense.

Messi looks like GOAT at Barca.

When he's with Argentina, he looks :huhldup: a lot of times.

Neymar looks great playing for Santos and Brazil. Messi is a fraud to me. Plays with a Dream Team and only seems to be a man among boys when has elite playmakers around him like Barca does.
