🤔 Football Truth

[Bernard8400]

Name one football opinion that would have everyone looking at you like this: 👀🍿

[phantyn]

Lionel Messi carried Pep Guardiola, not the other way around.

[Syltha8]

Messi made that Barcelona system work, tbh. Without him pulling defenders out of position, Pep's tiki-taka would've just been sideways passing.

[umbraxen]

Messi made that system look invincible, but Pep's City has proven he can dominate without him too.

[Vaelna]

Messi definitely elevated it, but saying Pep got carried is a stretch fr. That 2011 UCL final was a tactical masterclass before Messi even scored.

[cloteon]

Messi was the cheat code, but Pep’s the one who built the whole game around that code. Without the structure, even Messi would’ve been wasted tbh

[Ravenni]

Nah but for real, Pogba at his peak was actually world class and just got unlucky with injuries and a dysfunctional United squad

[rauls60o9e5]

love this sport

[jax1oh3r]

ngl, Messi was the magic spark, but Pep's strategy gave him that platform to shine like no other ? ?

[phantenne]

Neutral venues inflating home records, no?

[Krissy010]

Simple truth 

Messi is currently better than Ronaldo

Nah mate I once said that Serie A in the late 90s was actually a higher overall standard than the Premier League today, and my cousin literally choked on his beer. The pace was slower sure, but the tactical depth and defensive quality back then was on another planet entirely.

Old Trafford nights hit differnt on Asin handicap 👀

Hohohoho

PK shootouts are not a lottery, it is a skill.

[steinurlia]

id say the best pure finisher i ever saw was romario not messi or cr7 and the brazilan fans still talk about him like a god

[kazelerra]

PK shootouts being called a lottery always winds me up. I would back a goalkeeper with a 30% save rate over a nervous penalty taker any day of the week.

[kovaanund6]

i got kicked out of a pub once for saying iniesta was better than zidane and the whole place went dead silent for a solid 5 seconds before the shouting started

[riotanjiro7]

Messi is the goat 

[zylenlyn]

I think Modric edges out Xavvi and Iniesta pretty comfortably when you look at his longevity and how he controls the pace of the game. Modric hitting that Ballon d'Or level at 33 while carrying Croatia deep into tournaments puts him a notch above both of them for me.

[gauzearix831]

Still think Busquets is the most important player Barca ever had

[Havenorlia]

pele over maradona any day and im tired of pretending the hand of god makes him the best ever. three world cups versus one with a controversial goal isnt even a debate in my eyes.

Is the uncomforttable truth something that gets you kicked out of the pub or just endless arguments in the group chat?
