Update, 88th minutes Milan scores! Lazio 0:1 Milan

Man... These Milan-Lazio and PSG-Monaco will give me a heart attack. All those goals canceled by VAR. Too bad that Lazio's Pellegrini got second yellow, but there are only 10 minutes remaining so it could really end with a draw. With both games ending in a draw, I think I would secure my win in the friendly against Harkorede.

This can be determined without waiting for players to retire! Ronaldo is still playing, and we all know his peak was at Real Madrid; he will never be able to replicate what he achieved anyplace else, just as Hazard did at Chelsea, and Neymar is still playing, but he will never be able to replicate what he did at Barcelona. Salah is peaking at Liverpool, and it's clear he'll never reach that level anyplace else until he retires.

Some players were lucky to peak early in their careers, while others did so aged 28 and 30 (Vardy, Benzema, Higuain, Immobile......).


Honestly, we're seeing the best of Mbappe, and we may never see this version again, for two reasons:

1. At PSG, every attack goes through him; he does not struggle to receive passes since the entire team is playing for him.

2. If he joins Real Madrid, he will compete for passes with Vini, Bellingham, and Rodrigo, all of whom are young players looking for an opportunity in the spotlight, therefore Mbappe is likely to fall short of expectations. Mbappe at Real Madrid would be someone who won trophies while scoring and assisting at an average rate + Better PR. IMHO.

Players get hit by unfortunate circumstances like Hazard and Neymar with injuries and whatnot, Hazard reached is peak Chelsea ? You can only say that because his spell at Real Madrid didn't go as planned, but nobody, at least most people never expected him to perform less at Real Madrid than he did at Chelsea, they were even expecting more than would put him at arguably the 3rd best player in the world right behind Messi and Ronaldo, or even go at loggerheads with both Messi and Ronaldo for world the best player in the world debate.

And how do you predetermine a players peak when their career isn't over yet ? Because in your statement of him reaching peak at Chelsea it's as though, there was bar or any level left for him to surpass that hasn't been done while he was Chelsea before his move to Real Madrid was announced, because I'm sure quite a lot of people here would agree that the Benzema had the peak of his career during the 2020/21 and 21/22 season, a time when he was already of age 33 and 34 years old respectively.

And so, if that's the case, I would like to ask a simple question Mbappe have proven himself very talented player already and not just some kid with potential like you considered the likes of Neymar, Ronaldo and Co to be then. Now to my question would you say Mbappe has reached the peak of his career and there is not a level left that could be attained for him, If he completes his move to Real Madrid, because Mbappe is currently 25 years of age, the same age Neymar was when he left Barcelona for PSG.

I did not generalise my comment, and the most of the players you named were young players with great potential (not kings) who only reached their peak after leaving their comfort zone and became Kings.(Neymar, Ronaldo, Suarez, Lewandowski, Salah).

Neymar, Ronaldo, Suarez, Lewandowski, and Salah's first big moves matched Hazard's move from Lille to Chelsea; he was already one of the best in the French league but not the King, and he reached his peak at Chelsea. Do you understand my initial statement now?

Just because the move didn't turn out well for them doesn't mean they made the wrong decisions, Neymar was already a king a Santos before coming to Barcelona, If Ronaldo had stayed back at Manchester United do you think he would have achieved half of what did with Real Madrid, should Mo Salah have stayed back at AS Roma because he was already one of the best in Serie A then ?

Lewandoski and Marco Reus were a duo-king in Dortmund back then, but Lewandoski moved to Bayern Munich and what would you about both players carrier after Lewandoski moved to Bayern, and Reus couldn't complete his away from Dortmund as well, who carrier had been more progressive after that split ? Suarez also was a king in Liverpool in the Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling partnership but did his career retrogress upon switching to Barcelona ? I could keep on mentioning names, of players the left a club because they needed a better shot at being the best in world or playing for a bigger at least for their brand and image right increment and probably a larger exposure or more attention, after all it's usual just business for the club when you become aged and almost can't give your 100% any more they begin to you uttermost less respect and priority, so I'm with a player who make move which they believe would be step up to their career and brand as a whole, because after their football career that'd be all they have left, I'll end my statement with an infamous quote that goes thus, "If you can drink from the fountain, why then, should you request for a drink of water from the cup?".

Strange how every team plays dirty against me!

Pogba's career was dead the moment he left Manchester United; the doping sanctions is merely icing on the cake. For the past two seasons, the Mafia has never kicked a ball for 45 minutes.

Juventus must be regretting bringing him back in the first place; they inherited a dead leg with hefty wages.

Maybe who knows he could end up like Liverpool biggest Legend Daniel Sturridge on TikTok 

@slackovic- Yes you can.

I Don't wanna celebrate too early..
Like I said,  3 different answers is a huge thing,  so I will just wait to see how lazio game goes. 

You have already won in my book @Chi20, I like us having such different answers to the questions for the final though - could have been a bit more interesting but it is what it is

I'll congratulate you already, and I'll seek my revenge in the next season!

Well well! @Hhampuz,  by my calculations I'm leading 4:1 already and we still have 3 different answers and one of them is city not to win against United which is very rare. Maybe lazio and Milan could be a decider today if they draw or Milan wins. But then , just like notblox1 said I shouldn't relax,  I'm not relaxing as anything can happen.

Just so you know, you already has my support because  i can't forget how you've supported my team this season and also, I was happy you won the Division 2 league.
 And I wish you the best in upcoming season...

So, I can thank cryptofrka and his mafia friends for this gift? If that's the case, then thank you cryptofrka I'm feeling pretty comfortable with my 3-1 lead. It's actually weird to have two goals lead because I'm always somewhere near my opponent. Too bad I went with Atl. Madrid to play in the final. I would be the only one with the perfect score so far.

Dirty is his middle name 

Did you hear about Pogba four-year suspension ban from football for doping?
Maybe he is going to move to some other sports now, maybe running or basketball since he is over 1.9 meters tall 
He is only one guy caught using doping, there are many more doing the same thing.

That VAR decision put Cryptofka at a huge advantage now. Not gonna complain but if he somehow manages to win just letting y'all know it was that dirty Var decision. I should have listened to my team doctor and postpone this game instead of fielding kids in lineup.

Neymar, Pogba and Hazard are perfect example of how a single move can ruin your career - Where you're King? Stay King.

I guess I'm losing this friendly, only 1 point form 4 questions and I'm not hopeful anymore after seeing F1 test results in practice sessions Red Bull surprised everyone by not being top, but Mercedes is also not what I was hoping for, I don't know why I thought some other team would somehow get the job done lol

Anyway, I guess better to lose this last round to reset my players for new season, gonna be so tough in division 2, dangerous guys promoted and we have to fight many battles!

Well for the record, I just got squashed by cryptoafrka. He basically won a point from the first 4 question out of 8 different answers between us lol and realistically speaking, Im pretty sure I wont get 4 points from the last 4 question so this round pretty much over between us. Well I guess this is it for me but Im kinda glad that I managed to flush one bad rounds out of me before the league even started.

Well done @cryptofrka !

Well... After seeing Bilbao leading 2-0, I knew I'll lose that point and I thought that both of us will be wrong in the Sporting question. Now it's 3-1 and if I calculated correctly on my phone, we have only two different answers to be settled. If that's right, the best you can get is a draw. But I'm sure that won't happen

Damn! I thought I had gotten even with my opponents for a moment when Benfica equalized, only for freaking VAR to ruin the party, sigh 




If it was about the money, they paid more to get Sven Botman from Lille, Anthony Gordon cost way more, while they paid twice as much of that to land Alexander Isak, and also paid 30 million Euros for Chris Wood about 2 seasons ago, although the sale of maximin was a profitable deal for Newcastle as they only got him for about 18 million or thereabout from Nice. I just don't think the deal was solely a monetary motivated deal for Newcastle.

Yes it is all about money, and Newcastle is not in the groups of richest clubs in Premier League.
It was £30m deal and Al-Ahli is owned by Saudi Public Investment Fund, that holds 80% stake in Newcastle.  

Good.
Remember that I supported you this season, so you have to pay me back next season  

I feel the excitement already!
Evil fee name is perfect for Cro2 team  
Now you have to think about adding Good fee.

Given Athletic Bilbao's form not so different from Atletico Madrid's own for this season, and how awful Atletico have been a lot of times, I'm surprised that some still consider them favorite with a goal deficit and playing away from home.

Even the sportsbooks have Athletic Bilbao as the slight favorite on money line, to win the game in regular time, and I saw how how Bilbao had played against Girona a few weeks ago, I just thought they can't be undermined with such an advantage.

How's oblak still in the post for ATM in 2024 ? That bro fell off a long time ago.

As long as Simeone is in charge, the team will never progress beyond its current level and will remain in a showdown of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Simeone is doing to ATM what Arsene Wenger did to Arsenal: the club's expectations are low, and they are only sucking money from player sales.

Simeone needs to go with his toxic football, Oblak needs to leave, and the team needs a modern-day manager to compete again.


More experienced? Yes, Younger squad? No. You put the piece together so well, this is what I was expecting to hear and not the age thing that was trending.
