So outdated too


I disagree, south america and especially brazil has overall the best attacking players of all time but overall, I'd say the best midfieldlers belong to Europe (Zidane, Luis Suarez, Rivera, Platini, Xavi)

Suarez is Uruguayan


Yes there is luis suarez the uruguyan player and Luis Suarez the first spanish winning a ballon d'or in the 60s, member of one of the strongest barcelona side and of another legendary team, the inter milan of Herrera.

Oh really? Didn't know that, I retract both my comments then. Quite bizar current Suarez is also considered one of the best players in the world.


Not the most uncommon hispanic First Name + Last Name I think. And yeah both players were absolutely stellar (one of whom we witnessed and the other you can read about :D).

True but weird I have such a blank in my football history.
I Protoss winner, could it be?

Messi exists, there's no discussion.


Considering Messi has a midfielder is a stretch tho, especially with his best period being as a false 9.

Naaaaaah he's an attacking midfielder who can play everything else too. I disagree his best was at false 9, his best was always AM.

One of the players you listed one is still active but is 33 and not a midfielder. Sounds outdated to me.

Also, again, Luis Suarez is from Uruguay which is not a country located in Europe last time I looked.


Also again, and as I previously responded to you, there are 2 luis suarez, one of them is a legendary spanish midfield.


You didn't even mention Cruyff 😢

there's some Germans missing as well.

even though Inno was in full control this entire series, somehow Showtime still looked pretty good imo


He certainly has handsome features but that doesn't help you much in a computer game.

Tell that to poor Effort who was denied a salary rise, because he wasn't handsome

is that really a thing or some weird meme? cause that sounds fucked if it's true

i was just thinking, progamer is probably one of the professions where looks play the smallest role

(Wiki)EffOrt
His re-signing affair with CJ is described here, but I remember someone mentioning that they didn't want to pay him, because he wasn't quite popular (effort has quite unusual facial features)

Showtime's approach to the matchup is not the right one and like his 10% in PvT against koreans says.
That's the main reason for his loss, not the supposed "huge gap" in skill; I mean, Inno in shape is for sure better than Showtime but not remotely as much as you make it to be.

Toss a coin to Frank Lampard. Blows almost all midfielders out of the water statistically and in terms of what he's won.

And considering Zidane as a midfielder as opposed to the attacking midfielders in Wax's post also makes little sense.

Michael Laudrup is also missing. Along with Iniesta. (And obviously Cruyff as already mentioned)

Now that the initial match of the day is done, we move on to your regularly scheduled mirror matches.

Literally a majority of the 8 matches are guaranteed mirrors, how depressing.

It's the anti-Lambo!

(because for Lambo understanding the game is everything, actually executing it means nothing)

That's true but I've always found Gerrard's ability to put Liverpool on his back and win to be more impressive.

33-5 in PvP on this patch is a bit of a decent record
