I would've luv to see James take more kicks, he is very good at them, he can't be restricted to a role player anymore, let him free!!!

same with Bale in the FKs, you wouldn't know how sharp he can be with the limited to no opportunities.


Anyone that thinks cr7 is the second best player in the world is blind...

cr7 was never good at freekicks, kind of like david luiz. They can score the brilliant fk once in a bluemoon, but more often than not rarely hit the mark.

Once real madrid move on from the cr7 era, the overall team would improve.

This team talent wise is superior to barca outside of Messi, suarez and neymar. Madrid should be winning la liga easily if their talent match their output, however, since a certain person on the team isn't really a team player, madrid fails quite a bit. Messi, was able to play the team concept and even neymar bought in..... cr7 was always about cr7


You are getting on my nerves. That's not a good sign for you.

I didn't see the game so I'm not sure what exactly happened, but he looked mad.

Ter Stegen is rubbish.
Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Toni Kroos, Pep Guardiola, Ernst Happel, Joachim Löw.

To be fair, Sergi Roberto and Bartra aren't up to scratch.

I know were missing a few players, but that was pretty bad to watch.

Barcelona was lucky last season in champs league...

Madrid was injured as was Munich.

This year, the top 4 contenders for champs league are munich, barca, real and psg.

Wouldn't surprise me if PSG can finally overcome Barca this year.

Argentina should be challenging as a top team in the world.

Right now, outside of that FIFA BS rankings, top teams are germany, france, brazil and NEW SPAIN.

what new spain are you talking bout?
We are playing awfull, losing games we shouldnt lose and teh future loos dreadfull there are no real players that look any close to be able to replace Casillas, Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Torres just a bunch of mediocre young talent that signs too soon for REal and Barcelona and thus dont get any burn and go stagnant.

we may not even qualify for world cup, italy is going to kick our butts and then if we are not lucky with the playoff draw we may end up out of the final tournament.

Expect a 1/8 or 1/4 exit in next years eurocup.


New Spain era will begins sooner than later. Guys like thiago, koke, isco, maybe gaya will become first team regulars and start weeding out old players.

Gaya wont, Alba isnt going anywhere any soon. Koke, Isco, De Gea, are not even near to be on par to what Xavi, Iniesta, Casillas were in 2008-12 and to top it we have a senile National team coach.
Things are not looking well.

Yeah, I agree 100% and even go as far as to say those comparisons are insulting (and Isco/De Gea are two of my favorite players). That Spain team was really special, and I hated them. Just an amazing squad though. Ridiculous raw talent.

Can't see them doing that well in the next three/four years.
