Keep em coming:haha::haha::haha:

oh finally!

:tup: One thing we will always agree on, is that football was more enjoyable back then. :P

It is crazy haha!

Yes but the 3 points for a win argument doesnt apply to the Batistuta - Kane argument. It was the same in most of Batistuta's time. With regards to players being more protected, i think anecdotally that seems to be true, not only for us watching, but players mention it often too. But I am not...

On this whole generational topic. I'm wary of sweeping judgments about quality of football declining. Because what exactly does that mean? If we are talking subjective entertainment value. I am on that train too. I used to watch football obsessively from mid 90s up to around mid 2010s. I just...

Haha so true! I never thought they'd have a chance. But Egypt comes to life when uts Afcon. I just love their passion man.

Logical fallacies :lol3::lol3: What exactly in any of your posts has been anything but, believe me past players were better today's players suck, if you can't see that you're......

Om el Donya kolaha:heart: One more to go!!!

It's going to happen to every generation. Do you guys not remember your parents or older ppl telling you Zz, Dp, fat R9 were nothing compared to Maradona, Van Basten and Baggio 1643924078 From now on I think I will:ratcafe:

I'm glad you settled that. I'm probably older than you though and maybe even have been watching football longer :rolleyes2:

They were spread out, but Italian teams in general were the richest in the 80s 90s :D But ya seriously, a lot of players on the bench at city, psg, bayern, Chelsea nowadays would have been star players at other clubs in the past

True:sergio: 1643924143 Penalties!!

When Ac Milan was one of the best clubs in the world, they were also one of the richest. Football heritage never meant anything if you didn't have resources. When Serie A was the best league in the world, it also was the league players got paid the highest, and some of the biggest transfers...

This I think is true though. Resources and money are more concentrated at the top now, which causes this. But an Aimar, Riquelme or Batistuta would not be playing at a smaller club nowadays

On the flipside defenders are faster, stronger and more fit.

This is a different discussion altogether. It might be true, Kane does have advantages Batistuta didn't in terms of sports science etc. But then we are getting into hypotheticals. I think it's easier to just compare performances, results and what not. Otherwise just Don't compare players across...

I get the romanticism. I miss the days we had #10s honestly. The game has become a lot more physical. But honestly I think this is pure nostalgia. You can say Batistuta is better striker, but you make it sound like they are levels apart, and they aren't. In what way was Batistuta so superior to...

I don't know about you guys, but I appreciate good football and those two were two if the greatest to ever do it. Who cares if they had a lot of plastic fans, why can't you just appreciate high level football when you see it?

The whole tournament has been a joke. I just watch and cheer Egypt
