    So do they draw up plays and stuff like in NFL or does everyone kind of wing it

    Yeah he’s one of the goats, but the opposition he played against at club level is questionable

    He scored over a 1000 goals for club & country but there’s dispute over how legit that record was..Also won the World Cup at 17 years old

    By that I assume you mean tactics? That term isn’t really used over here

    But yes, football is very tactical

    Hold up ya'll say tactics? That sounds badass as f---

    Yeah that’s basically what tactics are (I thought that term would be used in America too). Different formations, different styles of playing, different players starting the game etc. all depending on the opposition

    Then during the game there’s different tactics depending on the situation, e.g if you’re winning you go very defensive often called ‘parking the bus’

    Can understand the argument for both but I’m tired of debating it tbh so now I’m just fully appreciating how lucky we are to have them both playing in the same era

    True I can totally respect having Messi as #1 I just prefer CR. Both legends who deserve all the credit they get imo :emoji_thumbsup:

    Boy this gonna be an interesting tournament; very balanced groups with no real clear group of death...Granted I'd say Poland's and Argentina's are fairly difficult. Mexico got the one team I really did not want to face in Germany but we've improved heavily lately and hopefully we give them a good fight on the pitch.

    I've learned that it's too early for predictions, injuries happen and coaches might fall out with players or questionable call-ups. Who knows what the f--- is going to happen between now and next summer. All I know is that I'm hyped to be alive to see another world cup, I've been fortunate to remember 98 to some semblance!
