Just because football isn't an objective sport, like running or swimming, doesn't mean we have to be blind at the clear improvement of the athletes, who are much better now than in 1995 in general.

No. But we're talking about 90s football here, not 50s. Maldini played in the 80s against Maradona as well as in the CL final in 2007 and was voted defender of the year by UEFA despite being way past his prime and 40 years old. So that current players must be "much better" than 90s footballers just because "sport evolution" is a stupid notion and hence belongs in this thread. That might be valid for 50s footballers.

especially when athleticism is far from being the be all end all for a football player .
it that were true , then Mangala would be the goat defender .

Thread is mainly for stupid quotes from those in football hmm

John Carver: "This game has got nothing to do with systems, it is 11 v 11 and whoever wins it is the best team."

Like that one, Free's post would belong in " Quotes of Goallegacy" hmm

Out of all the things Free wrote and he does write sensible stuff honestly, this one really is a bit...ridiculous.

Pretty sure he saw the Dagger as a child too.

Any idiot can do it.

Some cutting-edge analysis by Trevor Sinclair on BBC's Final Score:

Trevor Sinclair wrote:"Hull's points tally that they have got is not enough, they need more points so they are now the favourites to go down in that third position."

Also:

Moal confirm pls

Goal.com

95% of the people who comment on goal.com seem to be from the middle-east or Africa.

Why are Africans on the internet always so angry?
That's the main question Goal.com poses.

by farfan Mon Jun 01, 2015 2:12 pm

i don't get it either .
it's the same thing in these football related facebook pages ( trolls , memes etc...) it's mostly indian and african posters with broken english .
where are all the english speakers form other parts of the world ?

in fact, the reason i didn't join the original forums was because i assumed they'd be populated by the same 15 year old nigerian and indian kids i see fighting over Ronaldo and Messi in the comments .

Ok, stoitchkov surely was better than Pedro, I was overamphasizing. But the difference is small, that was my point and I still stand by it... if you watch football from the early 90's... the lack of quality is painful to watch.

by Thimmy Mon Jun 01, 2015 6:52 pm

To be fair, the quality of defenders and the defensive work of midfielders in the modern game is hardly any better than it was back then. I know I'd take Tony Adams past his prime over pretty much any other defender who's currently active Laughing

I don't know why people always think that "right now is better than it has ever been before".
