That England eats in the same table as Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Italy, France and Spain even when they havent won anything since that very cuestionable worldcup from the stone age.

So Atleti, Arsenal, Roma, Napoli, PSG etc don't get to eat at the same European table as Red Star Belgrade and Steaua Bucuresti?
 
If anyone goes on r/soccer, they’ll know what I mean, but there was a discussion today about Benitez saying who the best player he ever coached was and he said Gerrard which lead one Liverpool fan to say he’d be considered better than Zidane if he played for Madrid, Gerrard’s PR far outweighs his actual ability - every time the best PL CMs come up everyone always says Gerrard is the undisputed best CM in PL history even though even Keane and Viera were so obviously better it hurts

My brother maintains van Nistelrooy was just a tap-in merchant.

What rubbish opinions have you heard from your family and friends?

A friend of mine is adamant about the very same thing, but about Andy Cole. Says he was purely a finisher, and nothing else.

It's preposterous. His partnership with Yorke just buries that argument instantly. His first touch was excellent too.

A daft football opinion I have: you should get no points for a 0-0 draw, because you didn't do anything. Only score draws should get a point.

Can't have a rule that would encourage everyone to just give each other a goal at the start of each game

TAA is the most over rated player in Premier league history and it's not even close.

I honestly do not see the fascination with this fella. He can be crap all game and deliver one great pass/cross and that's all you hear about. It doesn't matter than he's been run ragged all game.

And Van Dijk had 18 months or so of being good and is now being touted as one of the best defenders ever.

This one is my favorite.The worse thing is that many high level coaches actually belive it.

Can you get deeper than basically creating what became 20th century football and spreading it around the world? The Netherlands were minnows until the late 60s and not to take away from how influential Ajax/national team '70s tactics was for modern football, but they weren't the only ones implementing ideas like pressing, false nine and players needing to be universal/polyvalent. England/UK may have lapsed long ago into tactical dinousaurs/followers of balding Spaniards, but it doesn't get more fundamental than their influence on football.

Well yes English created the game and can't influence more than that you're totally right. I explained myself badly there, I was referring to the modern game. Anyway my main point is I don't consider neither a powerhouse, not at the level of the others I mentioned at least who are first tier.
 
My dad seems to have this weird view that no player actually gets injured, they just decide they’ve earned enough money and give up.

He’s even said it about West Brom’s Dike, who went off the pitch last season in tears with his latest injury.
