Baggio was drafted 27th in the all time draft, therefore 27th is clearly his right place in the ranking, not 16th.

Sorry I meant that in another way. Excuse me, I thought everyone was on my level, but I couldnt assume that, you are right.

It's obv not meant as an absolute value, but more as a reference.

stop embarrasing south american please ramos

You didnt answer my question...

I dont put much thought into this south america vs europe debate, its preety stupid.
Europe has 52 teams, we have 10, thats a preety big edge.

Anyway Europeans have to decide.
- Winning is everything
- Overall performance.

European were using the overall preformance before the world cup because we were 9 and 9 but suddenly nobody cares about who makes the QF its all about winning inconsistency imo.

Anyway I care about Chile not the other 9 teams, I dont care what other southamericans teams do, I just want Chile to win
And we have sucked throughout the years, its a shame that our awesome team is going to be once again ****ed up by Bielsa whose attacking game is good to get points out of Venezuela, Peru and Bolivia but whose not modern enough tactics once again fail to deliver when it really counts.

I dont know where else to post it but I just ordered the following books I saw on zonal marking bibliography:
- Soccernomics
- How to score
- Invering the pyramid
- Football & chess.

Im an average chess player so the last book called my attention

Inverting the Pyramid is awesome. Soccernomics is okay.

Its being reported that Maradona is about to quit. Said something on some TV Channel about it being over

That South America - Europe discussion on ESPN is even more stupid than the America - Europe discussion here.

btw I had not thought the fact that while we give europeans better players they give us better coaching in return, our coaching is clearly inferior to what is going on Europe.

If you use the World Soccer ranking as guideline, Dino Zoff.

Then how come every time I open this thread you are bringing it up?

that was me trolling europeans.

The reason I dont like the debate its because the confederations are not comparable, ok so your 3 elite teams owned us, but what about the other 45 teams that suck?
An average conmebol team is better than an average uefa team but Faroe Islands isnt even a proper team, so it really doesnt make sense to me.

I prefer comparing things that are comparable.

btw nigeria president move seem expert, humilliate the team and then not face the consequences

ps: Nigeria president removed the ban from the team.
