it's not legal in Spain, but it's widely known, ex players/coaches publicly talk about it all the time.

1m would be for the club. Barcelona will probably offer 5m for the players in that game, as in 5m split between 11-14 players.

I hope Michel doesn't turn out to be a "madridista" like Raul, Casillas or Valdano, he doesn't seem to be like that, though. He should start 6 subs just as a matter of principle.

Legal here too or at least it was 10 years ago when Ajax infamously and succesfully offered Excelsior whatever bonuses to beat table leader AZ only to become 2nd while PSV won the league.

It seems really weird at first, but arguably makes a league more fair as a team will really play to win in a game where it otherwise wouldn't.

Kind of similar with Castro, can't believe he was u21 in 2009, he was a Bundesliga regular in 2004/05! And then I realise that 2009 is way closer to 2004 than 2017 and weep a little
I was surprised when Wagner appeared in a Top 10 speed list this season. Doesn't seem quick at all to me.

U21 is a bit misleading, Neuer is 31 and was 23 at the tourney...I think it's determined by eligible for quali rounds or s/t.
Yeah, I guess there's a reason Aogo didn't do much in his career afterwards. Castro being Spanish-German..just SOL

Last edited by blind squirrel; 05-17-2017 at 06:18 PM. Reason: Castro would have deserved call-ups though. Löw just doesn't rate him apparently.

Our truest of true Madrid fans calling club legends "madridistas".

Ronaldo now top scorer in the big 5 leagues, ever.

What an achievement.

Fell asleep during the break last night. Hence just watched the 2nd half.

It delivered; finally some drama. I mean, what a farce.

I can't decide which was more ridiculous - the 2nd yellow and sending off Aspas for simulating after Ramos clearly fouled him penalty-worthily or Ronaldo diving in the box in a way that puts prime Wu Minxia to shame literally a minute or two later, and no yellow shown obv.

Even Aspas' 1st yellow came from him (totally rightfully) protesting after Varane got away with the clearest of handballs of all times just outside of their own box.

lel
Par for the course, ofc.

3 mill? You're such cheapskates.

Celta players kinda looked like they were trying at times so I assume 3kk didn't quite cut it.
Based on what was on display, though, I feel like it's safe to assume you won the bidding war WRT ref. Good job.

Congrats on league title.
We saw unusually many dubious refereeing decisions go your way this season, but in the end RM were the best team IMO, and by faaaaaaar the best squad.

Messi bailing them out left and right earlier this season and bossing it up at the Bernabeu the only reason Barca made this even seem anything resembling a contention.

Quite an exceptional player.

Sucks for him that it's probably only a matter of time before GOAT takes that spot, though.

And he has still a bit to go to become all time top scorer in Spain nevermind Europe.

Messi +9 league goals in same time in Spain, Gerd Muller 653 total and a few other players have scored more than Ronaldo.

And apparently he beat Greaves into 2nd place though he isn't even record scorer in British football lol.

I think there should be a golden ball for keeper that is like the goalkeeping Ballon D'Or (i.e. prestige wise). Such a wholly different position it can't be compared to outfielders but worthy of its own recognition. I know there are awards but no one cares about them.
Quote

I think Neuer gets enough recognition. And he's won that gk Ballon D'Or often enough for now. Hard to change that no one cares about them.

Draxler's the most capped player for the CC /w 28 lol. Löw just doesn't give a ****.

Buffon winning Ballon D'or actually crossed my mind when Juve reached the CL final. Was gonna bet on it but he was already 3rd fav behind Ronaldo and Messi lol

goalkeepers should play without a name on their shirt so people dont confuse them with real footballers

Hope City think it's too early for him, kid is top class.

Best player in Scotland in years, he's that good.

Still an incredible achievement.

Wait, Muller has more league goals than him in a top 5 league? Wtf was that article on about?
Quote

Gerd Müller has ~360 Bundesliga goals, not sure where the extra 300 come from
Quote

Looked it up, don't know we're you read that from Marty.

Germany - Muller 365
England - Greaves 357
Spain - Messi 347
France - Onnis 299
Italy - Piola 274

Greaves has 9 goals with AC, meant he was leading with 366.

Ronaldo has 284 with Real and 84 with United.

Incredible feat from Ronaldo. Top scorer in the big 5
