People don't know anymore. They don't know what it was like to live in the age of Rooney.

>>158423340
They played different roles and both were mega talents I don't even know what the fuck you're trying to say

Buffon being a top 3 goalkeeper in the world for 15+ years is pretty insane

>>158423946
What could have been if only he didn't break down mentally.
It was his father's death if I remember correctly, right?

>>158424030
He was always reluctant to leave Brazil, but did it because everyone pushed for it. His dad was the main reason, but guys like R9 helped him a lot too. Yet he says he never felt right in Italy despite all the love, that he just wanted to go back home. Then his dad passed away and he never really recovered. Seedorf and Inzaghi tried helping him but nothing worked so he came back, saved Flamengo from its potential only relegation and went on a crazy run to win the 2009 Brasileirão title. After that he got fatter and fatter and never really recovered. He tried playing for other clubs but it never worked out like it did in Flamerda.

Being a favelado he also got in a couple scandals for being involved with some faction members, but it never really amounted to anything.

There is a parallel timeline out there where we had Adriano, Pato, Ganso and Neymar in 2010

Glad no one rates him or remembers him now. He was shit

>>158423670
Back then, basically between 2004 and 2014, Casillas was said to be one of the best keepers in the world. It was him, Buffon and Kahn, later Neuer. And Neuer before 2014 wasn't that special yet. In 2010, he was seen as roughly equal to René Adler.

>>158423583
you will now remember Roy Makaay

>>158424207
it's cech and it's not even close. i don't support chelsea, i saw cech play irl several times including in the 2010 FA Cup final, he was a brick wall even after the head injury. i would never pick meme eccentricity retards or fraudiola-approved "outfielder" goalkeepers over cech. and casillas was an overrated spastic who stood between the posts doing nothing for most of his career.

>>158424452
>the 2010 FA Cup final
Nobody has ever seen this match outside of your island.
Cech was great, no doubt about it, but he wasn't as great as these giants.

>>158423518
I have been following soccer on and off for 22 years

In 2004-2006. The general consensus was that Rooney was a better player than Ronaldo. Cristano didn't start entering into the best player in the world convos for another two years or so

>>158424452
Cech got setbacks from his injury. He was an absolute monster in the mid 00's before breaking his head

>Nobody has ever seen this match outside of your island.
extremely delusional post, you think english football is as irrelevant as bayernliga LMAO

>>158424919
Do you genuinely believe that the thirdies who popularized that league which happens to be played on retard island care about some funny cup tournament? Spoiler: they don't.

>>158423323
id love to go back and see if scholes really was one of the best players in the world. like look at his rating every year from the games at the time

>>158426850
I've seen pretty much every single team that has been to Old Trafford since the early 90s. Scholes absolutely was world class.

Here is one that will make you laugh. I wouldnt call him world class. But I've seen some of the best midfielders at Old Trafford, be dominated by Darren Fletcher. He was fucking unbelievable in a lot of big games after he developed and before he was ill.

>>158424030
He just wanted to sit outside his favourite bar in his favela wearing flip-flops and drink alcohol.

Shevchenko being 9th best in the game seems kinda low considering he literally won the balon d'or that year

>>158430433

nobody gave a fuck about the Balon D'Or back then

>>158430492
Nobody gives a fuck about the ballon d'or today.
