You lot are mad, that Messi suit is totally fab.

How's Busquets' sillier side nowadays? I always loved him as a player, but he dove so fucking much back then. Was it against Inter he rolled around for a couple of seconds and then peeked through his fingers like a little child cowering from a parental scolding? Ugh.

All analysis aside, it's just easy. Attackers are better players than defenders. They are more mechanically gifted. Also, attacking (or playmaking for that matter) is way harder than defending. Every kid when they grow up (exceptions aside) wants to score goals so everyone wants to play striker. To put it blunt: eventually the best players end up in a striking position and the worst players end up being defenders.


I've mentioned this before, but this is not true everywhere. It's something I know is very true in the netherlands. I remember one of victor's friends being described as "not really good at football, but he's a good defender".

In Norway though, it definitely wasn't the case when I grew up. The best players from the teams I played for during my upbringing would either be midfielders or central defenders (the offensive type though, the one that would essentially be a central defender when the opposing team had the ball, but that would run forward and be part of most attacks). Myself I was a defender when I was good, when I became less good they placed me up front. And it corresponds perfectly with the Norwegian footballing heroes of that time; Rune Bratseth was the only really good player we had during the early 90s, and when Rosenborg had success later, Erik Hoftun (defender), Bent Skammelsrud (def.midfield) and Ørjan Berg (off. midfield) were the top heroes, not Harald Brattbakk who scored all the goals. From what I've heard now, there's a trend (in Norway) that all the best players want to be midfielders, but there's no real striker dominance.

I would guess that the degree to which youth of a country want to be strikers or midfielders or defenders largely corresponds with what positions the most cherished players from ye olde days from that particular country, probably even favored playstyle. Wouldn't be surprised if some of the best Greek footballers who were like, 6-10 during the EC victory ended up wanting to play defense.

and then you have the superhero, roar strand (midfielder too), above those top heros again.

He still goes down easier than most, but if you havent heard anything then it must means its clearly not as bad. He is also not as effective defensively as he used to be because his lack of pace gets abused even against relatively lower level opposition on the counter. Decent in the air though, I prefer Mascherano in holding, he is an absolute beast even if his distribution isnt as good as Busquets its good enough for the cover he provides. And god knows they need it.

As for the suite. Its so shiny I could probably see my reflection. Cant say I'm a fan. But what do I know I have half a dozen black suits

I could never wear that myself but that was my first thought. Absolutely love it.
Messi's suit collection is definitely superior to Ronaldo's (can't proof with statistics, please don't kill me.).

I think messi's suit is about as good as his football ability. so it's currently around the second/third best suit in the world.

During the summer season I wear a shiny purple jacket on a daily basis though so I'm slightly biased.

Welp, that's a wrap. Interesting to see how Swansea copes.

No problem as Swansea have already secured the loan for the almighty NELSON OLIVEIRA.

A loan sounds like clever business, but how good is Oliveira really? His goals/games ratio seems woeful for a striker. Swansea is also be his fifth loan club in as many years. Wow.

Still got 14 caps for Portugal somehow.

He does and in comparison Messi is totally bossing it up.

I'm curious what impact the loss of Bony is going to have on Swansea.
