What the hell.. I have not been black and white at all.. it is you and Spor who have gone overboard. I have conceded that both teams will score here, just that my attacking prowess should see me through. You on the other hand think your defense will weather all attacks and win 4-0 or something.
Once again Milan comparisons are off. Show me where they faced attacking talent equivalent of Muller, Moreno, Garrincha, Nedved and Rivera. That's 5 players that will be attacking at most times before you add in someone like Falcao also effecting the attacking game from midfield. Basten Elias match up is pretty much the same as Baresi - Muller one. Then you have Maldini who by your own admission will have to help out Brietner against Garrincha, which shall force Davids to pick up Moreno one would think. Who is picking up Rivera then? If it is Vieira, then you pretty much leave Falcao free unless Laudrup is going to press him.
I love Becks, he gets way underrated on this forum and for a period of 3 years he was better for us than both Giggs and Scholes. But he is definitely one of the weakest players in this draft. Vieira is way overrated on here, he never pulled his weight in Europe for Arsenal and even for France it was Makelele that was a key in the midfield behind Zidane. Davids is easily a better CM than Vieira for me.
Anyway I am done with this, scoreline is way too lopsided to recover.
We didnt say your team wont score, we just said our team will score more as our attacking players play 1v1 on the open wide spaces against yours while your team will be congested small space against defence lead by greatest defender of all time.
And we didnt draw comparisons with that Milan team, we just said that we have proven partnership iz defence and what they achieve together. You say that Milan defence never faced attacking talent like yours, tell me, which attack faced defensive talent like ours? Basten against Figueroa pretty much the same as Muller vs Baresi? Muller is the better goalscorer but Van Basten is better and more rounded player while Baresi in worst scenario is second best defender off all time.
And our defence is not man vs man like yours, they will mark the zone as you do when defending from deep in high numbers, we have 3 midfielders with high workrate who are brilliant defensively + best defence in the draft.
I know i said you are done but i just wanted to respond. Good game crappy, you had bad luck with the draw....i dont have by any means the best team in the draft but i am probably the worst opponent for you.
