Are we really going to act like if last night was in a proper tournament that Spain wouldn't have bored there way to victory?

Sad but true.


Great atmosphere last night but it won't help when they have to play vs this years champions league final tbf. Germany will smash 'em.


Tbh it's not out of the realms of possibility that Messi walks in to Brazil, shows them up on their own turf and cements his GOAT status in the process :manny:

At this point i'd put Brazil 5th favourites behind Spain, Germany, Argentina and England.

Will be interesting to see if Spain adapts and becomes more direct with their attack against better teams Tiki taka got shredded on both the club and national team level ..the last 210 minutes they scored zero goals the only time they showed any life at all was when Navas came on .. Their back line is straight garbage if their midfield can't keep possession ....They will be there next year but can't see them beating Germany, Brazil, Italy or Argentina

They have no strikers. Soldado isnt troubling the top defences, Torres is bushes status, Villa, Messi has ruined his career and he hasnt looked the same since his injury. Who else is there? They need to start playin the young brehs, like Isco, Thiago, Martinez because they fresher, bring new ideas into the team and the fact that they havent travelled allover the world and playing over 350-400 games in about 6 years like Xavi & Iniesta have.

I like Nymar a lot. Dude is just passionate and hungry to win. He should have gone to a team like City or a AC Milan. Barca should not have Neymar, dude gonna turn into a flopper/cheater in no time but he gonna outshine Messi smth serious. Can't wait for him to show Messi is a product of the system not as good as people believe.

Barca next year is gonna b something serious with that False 9 formation ..Neymar will def have a chance to outshine Messi because he ll have a lot of space to run in on the wings ..I can see Messi's goal tally drop and his assists go up there's no fullbacks la Liga that's gonna be able to contain Neymar 1 v 1

Neymar is not outshining the Midget Overlord. Hes already killed 2 of the greatest strikers of the 2000- era in Ibra and Villa's Barcas careers. :mjpls: You really think these Iberians are goin to defer to Neymar because hes got the hype :ufdup:

He's overhyped and how can he be the GOAT player when he isnt even the GOAT player from his own Country. And that GAWD who only took the NT to 2 World Cup Finals in a row, the 2nd one when he was injured for the whole tournament. Took a team from the South of Italy with little history and gave them their only League titles and european trophy to date, while playin in the most dirtiest league of them all.

While Messi's doing it at a club that was winning titles before he made his pro debut and he only plays with 2 of the greatest Spanish midifielders of alltime at club level.

There is a huge difference between being the GOAT and being a fraud and Messi can exist without having to be either one. I don't see why he can't just be a good/great player without all of this extra shyt

Blame the media and fanboys.

He's in the same spot that :sadbron: was at before the Heat won last year :gladbron:

actually scrap that,

Hes in the same spot as :childplease: before he won the 2 rings without :shaq:

But those 2 rings aint more CL, they = the World Cup
