World Cup: National Team threads #2

The club-WM is really going to be hamper on the U21s; as Salzburg's Morgalla & Blank will join the Dortmund & Munchen cohorts...Beier, Adeyemi, Bischof, Wanner, Urbig...in missing the tourney.

Still should be a fun team with Woltemade and Gruda leading the way up front, a strong double pivot, and a lot of depth in defense.

Some insights to what Messi had to deal with prior to 2021. Then you have sickos trying to diminish his achievements. What ya gonna do haters gonna hate.

 

[Evilo]

Who diminished his achievements?

 

[erikhamren]

Messi is one of the best to have ever played football ofc, after CR7 and Pelé so i really respect him and he seems humble and all that but he the football world kinda lost the respect they had for him after he/Argentina stole the WC trophy from Portugal

Who diminished his achievements?

Very clear as to who they are.

 

[cgf]

what

Checks out. Rapey Ronaldo lost to germany countless times, Messi only managed to pull it off once.

 

[Evilo]

Name them because I don't think I've seen many people here claim Messi isn't what he is.

Two words penalty Argentina.

Not just this site everywhere you can see it.

Entirely different than saying Messi isn't what he is.
I do believe Messi should have won the 14 one and lost the 22 one.
Doesn't mean I don't rate him as best ever, as I've done for years.

Pecho Frío Pessi's acchievments are impressive overall. He just doesn't belong in a GOAT discussion.

Ronaldo Nazario, Cruyff, Maradona and others are ahead of him too.

I would have to think I was crazy with my ranking of R9 if not for the fact that most media outlets and publications similarly don’t often rank him anywhere near as high as HFBOARDS soccer does.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

R9's whole case is an otherworldly peak, because he had zero longevity at all. In comparison to some other people in the convo about the greats, R9's peak makes up for the lack of comparable longevity.

But Messi's peak was even higher than R9's was. So R9 doesn't even have that here.

But this is, of course, a tangent from the actual thread.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Ronaldo Brazilian is the best player I ever watched not named Messi.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Not good enough for the top 39 player under 21 but Mastantuono might get a call up next qualifier

Aww, have things gotten that dire for you?

You wouldve built him a statue by now. Jokes aside he's the best prospect they have right now.

Anyway Argentina fans are in hot water over a chant that I won't repeat. Next game might be played without fans.

I dunno about a statue, but having someone extra depth behind Pavlovic / Stiller, wouldn’t hurt

One day there will be proof that these players either exist or you’re just a beautiful mind …

Hey, why not, it would probably a good deal for them. Nine of their teams qualify directly and 10th placed gets to play in some sort of intercontinental play-off.
