By Ashwinho Go To PostZizou fans doubling down to show the few genuinely great performances he has had(as counted before by yours truly) is truly amusing.
Zizou is what Yurt has accused Iniesta of being regularly(rightly so)- Great players,(the best their countries have had), able to produce magic in instances, but not consistent enough to warrant being anywhere in the conversation for being in top 10 or even top 20 of all time.
The first video showing three minutes of Barcelona missing chances and then the second starting with a terrible pass and a foul was very funny.
By n8 dogg Go To PostThe first video showing three minutes of Barcelona missing chances and then the second starting with a terrible pass and a foul was very funny.If one tries to make an "Amazing Zidane performances at Juventus" video taking the ones posted as the north star, it would be even funnier. Del Piero will mostly be the one we see with greater frequency in them.
By recon_zero Go To PostWould you say that Deschamps was better than Zidane?Ofcourse not. I have said the Zizou is the best French player. Not my problem if fans cannot take criticism of their icons due to childhood nostalgia or are incapable to have a critical look at their careers taken as a whole- game by game, season by season.

By n8 dogg Go To PostThe first video showing three minutes of Barcelona missing chances and then the second starting with a terrible pass and a foul was very funny.Zidane was not a week in week out, year after year great player. He was mostly a moments player that was above average outside of those moments.
There's a reason why when we discuss GOATs we don't mention just specific games and nothing else. But for some reason that's always the case with zidane.
With Messi, Pele or Maradona or even lower tier players like cr7/Cruyff/Neymar/Beckenbauer/R9 etc. you can discuss their greatness without ever recalling one specific game to make your arguments.
If someone said "discuss maradona's greatness but you aren't allowed to bring up 86 world cup", you could give a 2500 word report.
But with zidane, it's always "remember Brazil 2006?!", CL final goal or 1998 WC final. Purely big moments.
People love moments type players, iniesta wasn't a moments player like zidane but moments did make people believe he was better than Xavi, when he wasn't.
I get it, the moments are big. It's what wins titles. It's CL or world cup finals, as massive as the moment can get, but moments alone don't make you a top 5 player in my eyes. I rank him around 16th in my official top 100 list.
By recon_zero Go To PostWhat about Cantona. he kicked a guyWouldn't be a french midfielder without some violence
zizou is nowhere near the best french player lmao
not to mention how he arguably lost France the WC by getting heated like a schoolboy

On another note, talking about WC98 & Euro2000 (perhaps the best international tourney) reminded me of how good the Dutch side from 98-2000 was & how badly they choked.
That 0-0 against Italy is one of the most amazing games. Zambrotta sent off after half an hour, Dutch missed two penalties in normal time & three in the shootout.

We always knew Argentinians winning would be awful m9s
it's the price we paid to see Messi lift it.
May they never win anything ever again.

By n8 dogg Go To Post‘I rank him around 16th in my top 100’ likely gave Laboured a stroke
I will endure it, but I will not forgive it.
By inky Go To PostWe always knew Argentinians winning would be awful m9sThe only way for things to go back to normal is for Madrid to win the CL again.

Iniesta and Zidane get called moments players but is there a supposed world class player you can’t name a single significant game or moment? All that to comes to my mind is David Silva

By Frustrated_me Go To PostJohn TerryHey now, him coming down to hold the CL trophy after Chelsea won it is one of the funniest footballing moments of last decade.
#1 is Mou running around Nou Camp & showcasing the softness of Barca boys. Them having to turn on the sprinklers to slow him.💀
By Frustrated_me Go To PostJohn TerryThis is false, everyone remembers the Champions League final when he celebrated in full kit despite not playing as well as the CL Final 2008 miss in the shootout. Checkm8
