Messi 67.4% Cristiano 11.7% Schweinsteiger 7.1% Ribery 4% Why ribery so low, imo he's the reason for bayern's success, well and robben but I don't like robben much. xD | ||

Schweinsteiger world class this season, decent/good last season You can actually see how much players know more than fans/experts when schweinsteiger got 7% | ||

I think because of the recent results, korea's reputation as a footballing nation has seriously gone down, but I just want to show that with the right coach, our team can be very good because Korea hasn't been this talented since 2002 even without park ji sung. I really want to show a lineup that korea can use to show this talent, and well because i don't know where else to post this on the internet  Park Chu Young Son Heung Min - Kim Bo Kyung - Lee Chung Yong Ki Sung Yong - Koo Ja Cheol Yun Seok Young - Hong Jeong Ho - Kim Young Kwon - Kim Chang Soo Jung Sung Ryong I guess only a few fans might know half of these players, but since most of them play in europe, i hope some of you will know. Just in case anyone is interested, i'll explain the players. Park Chu Young - Korea's best and really Asia's best striker until recently(if there are some better asian strikers, i'd actually be very curious). Very bad form recently with arsenal and celta vigo, but still better than any other option out there. Son Heung Min - Recently transferred to Leverkusen. 13 goals last season in bundesliga and only 21. (and i don't really consider him a striker which is why Park Chu Young is ahead of him). Kim Bo Kyung - Was on Cardiff's championship league winning side and will play in premier league. Only played home games because he had been playing literally for 2 straight years without a break but still had a good season according to Cardiff fans. Lee Chung Yong - Stuck at bolton for right now but should be in the premier league because of his talent. Just check a youtube video of him, he has very quick feet and nice trickery. Also, two goals in last world cup. Ki Sung Yong - Deep-lying playmaker who enjoyed a good season with Swansea in the premier league. Koo Ja Cheol - Now plays attacking midfielder, but played a deeper role in the k-league and I think he would do well there again. Played great for augsburg for the past two seasons. Defense - You guys probably don't know these players, but Yun Seok Young is at qpr right now. Hong Jeong Ho would have been the #1 CB had it not been for injuries the past year. Kim Young Kwon was the player that made the mistake yesterday, but ironically his manager Lippi, said that he doesn't make mistakes and would definitely take him to Italy when he goes back to serie a. Kim Chang Soo was another solid player til injury and showed his ability the last two games. Goalkeeper - Was a serious liability in the 2010 world cup, but has developed well. Not great reflexes and doesn't make super saves but does the normal stuff well. On the bench we'd also have players like Ji Dong-Won(augsburg), Kim Shin Wook(1.96m tall guy), and squad players i know hardly any of you know lol. With this squad I really think Korea would win against any side except for the best and still, I think we could challenge them. I'd even be confident of beating our rivals, japan. The reason is that Japan has amazing world class attacking midfielders, but they really don't have any defensive ones. Hasebe is really an attacking mid playing defensive mid. And Endo is simply too old. I might actually try Honda in defensive mid because of his physicality and move Kagawa to #10 but w/e. I hope our new manager picks a lineup similar to this, because our past lineups have been awful with the majority of players being has-beens and k-league veterans. I know I'm one of the few Korean national team fans here, but idk, I just really felt like posting this in case anyone is interested and to show some korean players. If anyone has any other questions, feel free to ask EDIT: idk why the post isn't showing spaces, but this is a 4-2-3-1 formation! Hasebe bosses midfields, he has saved our asses so many times. Endo is old yeah but still his passes and crosses are deadly. I see no problem with our midfield. Of course they have problems vs European defensive midfield players, but I bet anything that Korea would have them too What we suck at is having no real striker and very dangerous wing backs. Also if you really think you could beat us then you arent looking at it objectively. | ||

Also if you really think you could beat us then you arent looking at it objectively. Objectively, we very well could beat you. We beat you 2-0 in the olympics and although you guys missed honda and kagawa namely, we also missed son heung min and lee chung yong. You could point to that 3-0 senior game you won like 2-3 years ago, but we were managed by an awful manager then who had public falling outs with some key players. Also, you can't simply say hasebe "bosses" midfields as an argument. He is really an attacking mid, which he has played for much of his career, and is now a make-shift DM. playing AM to DM is really hard and completely different from players changing off in the attacking three like honda and kagawa do. As for endo, from what i've seen, has lost that power and pace. I'm saying japan really lacks steel in the midfield, even if they might have very nice passing ability. Korea on the other hand, have Ki, Koo, and possibly Han Kook Young. Ki has gotten a lot tougher physically from playing in Scotland, Koo presses well is deceptively strong. Han, although he can't pass, breaks up play very well. The main difference between the two teams right now is the managers. Korea has had very imcopetent ones since the 2010 world cup, while japan has been led well by zaccheroni. But don't think that japan is somehow off the charts better than korea right now | ||

Schweinsteiger world class this season, decent/good last season You can actually see how much players know more than fans/experts when schweinsteiger got 7% +1, and I feel that there are many players in Bayern's team that contribute at least as much as Ribery like Lahm, Müller and Kroos. It's best player of what? The best performance this season or the best player in general? My top 5 of this season would be (in no specific order since they all contributed to a different type of success): - Messi - Bale - Scwheinsteiger - Müller - Ronaldo probably, but I could also see Dortmund's players like Götze/Lewandowski/Reus/Gundogan which were really impressive this year. I should probably put Iniesta since he was on another planet this year but there's always Messi before him... | ||

Lewandowski? Really? I get the feeling no one had ever heard of him before that game against Real... As for Suarez, Liverpool were much better when he wasn't playing. Edit: and no Bayern players | ||

At this rate, Ancelotti will be doing the first training of the season, what a mess. Or...maybe...like the Director said a month ago, Ancelotti will STILL be in charge of you next season  Lewandowski got notice in Dortmunds title winning season tbf lol. Last season he justs proved how good he was by scoring in the BIG games of the season. Thus making you good  | ||

Edit: and no Bayern players Lewandowski was already known as a top-level striker well before that game. However, I do think he is slightly overrated, and isn't as important to the team as any of the key players in the mid field. The only reason that we were really missing him as much as we were when he sat out a couple games early in 2013 was because he's the only striker on the entire roster. As for Suarez, you can't just blame him for Liverpool's recent disappointments. | ||

I know the Premier League has an obsession with playing on Boxing Day, but it's a Thursday this year. So the teams play Thursday, then again on Saturday. Why... March is going to be ridiculous though. Stoke away, Swansea, Spurs away, Chelsea away, then end things by hosting Manchester City. Plus FA Cup and Champions League games... | ||

Christmas period of going to like 3/4 games in two weeks is just how it has always been and in business terms its easy money. Plus im pretty sure early as in the 80s it was even more conjested fixture wise | ||
