Diego vs. Modric (31 Viewers)

[v1rtu4l]

what do you agree with? He asked a question

it was really a question (even if i do not rate schweinsteiger)!

the overall impression i got from him (judging from the bayern games, not the national team) is, that he has many games where he is clearly 2 classes below ribeiry ... nothing to be ashamed of, but surely not someone you really would like to have in your club.

often he disappears and does not do much useful just as if he had no idea what to do with the ball.

for our vacant spot on the left (nedveds position) he isn't great as well ... he has not the ability to get good crosses in with his left foot.

i guess to many remember his goals against portugal in the world cup, but fail to remember that they only happend because Ricardo (portugals keeper) is a terribe "fliegenfänger" and should have at least punched his first goal easily away. the replay clearly show that the ball passes one meter two his left ...

many players look good in the german national team but suck on domestic level. just look at podolski . . .

So that's your argument for taking Modric over Diego?

What if Juande Ramos benches Modric because he needs the team to be more compact? Could we then say that Modric isn't as good as Julio Baptista then?

Diego is the better player just like Rafa Marquez is better than Gooch Onyewu, but that's because I'm unbiased enough to acknowledge it.

No, that's my arguement on Rab claiming Diego didn't succed in Brasil because he has Kaka and Ronaldinho over him. At Copa there were neither, still he did not play the whole tournament. But yeah, that's because of silly Dunga and his stupid decisions who ended up winning the tournamtent.

And Juande is no longer the coach so your theory goes down the drain because Redknapp is and guess what, he fancies Croatians.

What are you trying to prove here? You just fucking said it, played with a small country... Diego plays for the Brazil NT and it happens that the best football players in the world are currently playing in his position. That doesn't mean he failed ffs.

Watching too many games doesn't mean you know what's right from wrong and vice versa. Diego is the better player and it's a fact whether we all like it or not. And there's really no comparison between the two players. Modric hasn't proved anything yet. He's not even in the top 15 midfielders to say the least.

I wont call you biased or anything, but seriously get your facts straight and stop hiding behind Modric's five good matches with Croatia. He's very talented again, no one can deny that, but just don't compare him with an extraordinary player like Diego.

What next? He'll play decent match with Tottenham and you'll make him better player than Nedved.

Playing with a small country and winning against stronger opposition, that's my point. When Diego leads the super starred Brasil to half the wins Modric lead Croatia to, than we can talk.

You all claim of his fucking achievements, what are they? 2 years flopping like crap at Porto, being sold for peanuts to Werder, 6 FUCKING MILLION EUROS and playing one season well? Wow, he's surely one of the top midfielders in the world.

FFS, I would understand if you people were speaking of Fabregas or Ribery for example, but not fucking Diego. He is a pumped up Brasilian playmaker, the same type you can find in Brasil in numbers. He's in Europe for over 3 years now and has nothing to show for it. He's no more succesful than Quaresma. He's playing for an average club in a leauge that's far from its past glories and he's not the next Kaka and he never will be.

You're obviously biased, but that's okay because I don't have a horse in this race. I like both players but Diego is better whether he's picked by a national coach or not.

Dunga hasn't chosen Amauri either. Baptista must be better than him too.

Modric is playing for an average club that never really had any past glories.

Next argument, please. If you have one.

Then you should have kept your mouth shut.

I'm not biased, I've never praised Croatian players for the sake of it. I'm praising this new generation which is simply incredibly talented with players like Modric, Eduardo, Corluka, Rakitic, etc. 2 years ago I was spitting all over our NT, because we were crap. Now when we again look like a team and have some incredible individuals and I praise them, I'm biased.

Amauri was a no-one till yesterday.

Modric is playing for an average club that never really had any past glories.

Next argument, please. If you have one.

He just got there, lets say it's his Porto. Only he'll go onto a bigger club than Werder next.

I agree that Bastian isn't really impressive with Bayern, but most people wanting Schweini here take into account the fact that he would be for free.

Woher in Deutschland kommst du eigentlich?

 

[Bjerknes]

Vlatko, you're biased here regarding Diego, that's for sure. Your argument fails without you even comprehending the error that reeks of idiocy. When Dunga doesn't pick Diego AND Kaka and still wins a tournament, that doesn't mean jack shit. If so, that would mean Baptista is better than Kaka, which to even new football fans doesn't make any sense. Therefore, you can't use Dunga's picks against Diego in this case, so your argument fails there.

Your argument regarding the club matter also fails too, as Tottenham is a shitty club, so perhaps we'll see Modric playing in the Championship next year... if I was like you perhaps I'd conclude that Modric isn't a very good player either then. But no, I won't do that because I like the player.

 

[Ahmed]

Ronaldinho and Kaka

 

[Azzurri7]

No, that's my arguement on Rab claiming Diego didn't succed in Brasil because he has Kaka and Ronaldinho over him. At Copa there were neither, still he did not play the whole tournament. But yeah, that's because of silly Dunga and his stupid decisions who ended up winning the tournamtent.

I don't get it, you keep repeating Dunga's achievment, so what? What this has to do with Diego not playing? That they're a winning team without him? Hell they won WITHOUT Kaka and Ronaldinho.... pfft, I still dont get your point.

Croatia are currently doing bad in the WC qualifications, does that mean that Modric isn't good? See, I can make silly arguments just like yourself.

Playing with a small country and winning against stronger opposition, that's my point. When Diego leads the super starred Brasil to half the wins Modric lead Croatia to, than we can talk.

what winning against stronger opposition? I hope you don't consider Modric as the only Croatian player that took part in the Euro08. But fine, If thats the case or your theory like usually, Diego has won against stronger oppositions in Europe with Bremen unlike Modric.

Again, you make no sense and you're running out of arguments.

You all claim of his fucking achievements, what are they? 2 years flopping like crap at Porto, being sold for peanuts to Werder, 6 FUCKING MILLION EUROS and playing one season well? Wow, he's surely one of the top midfielders in the world.

Where did you see us talking about his achievements? Where is Modric achievements?

If you think he only had one good season, then again I was spot on when I said you petty much know shit about football and you need to play this sport instead of watching.

FFS, I would understand if you people were speaking of Fabregas or Ribery for example, but not fucking Diego. He is a pumped up Brasilian playmaker, the same type you can find in Brasil in numbers.

Oh god.

Yeah, calling one biased is the solution to lack of arguements.

When he doesn't call up Kaka and Ronaldinho and still does not play Diego, speaks pleanty, sorry. And it's not like he did not call Kaka and Ronnie because he thought they weren't good enough.

I never claimed Tottenham was a big club, that was never my arguement, you invented that. I said Diego plays for an average club, after flunking for years in Porto. Diego has over 3 years in Europe, Luka has 3 months.

if you take into account that he was for free, than i would take him too (even if he is a real ugly pig).

ich komme aus oberhausen (im ruhrgebiet), bin aber unter der woche beruflich immer in einer anderen stadt in deutschland.

 

[Ahmed]

Croatia isn't in Europe?

Pretty absurd argument, I must say. Humorous, too. Doesn't prove jack shit. The argument revolves around Dunga not picking Diego, trying to insinuate these facts mean Diego must not be a good player, but then suddenly throws out other evidence regarding Kaka to seal the deal. Nice try, but it doesn't work.

Luka is flunking as we speak.

And Croatia is in Europe last time I checked.

If you think he only had one good season, then again I was spot on when I said you petty much know shit about football and you need to play this sport instead of watching.

I never claimed Luka was the only one, don't make up stuff for lack of better arguements. Just a few post above, I praised our key players of the last few years. But Luka was pivotal in pretty much every game.

What achievements? Beating England 2 times and making them not qualify for the Euro, topping the group naturally. Winning the group stage in the Euro and beating a nation the size of Germany in it, only to lose in a shameful way to an unexplainable phenomenon which was Turkey.

We're not doing so well? True, the loss to England shook us up but it was coming since we were undefeated on our home pitch for a very long time. Still, lots of matches coming up. We'll qualify most likely.

 

[Azzurri7]

I wont continue arguing about this. You're going different road. I just hope Croatia and Modric will give it all and clinch the first place instead of England.

Whatever.

New leauge, new teammates, new country, new language and not 3 months have passed. You cut more slack to Tiago I must admit. Second year going, you still belive in him adapting. Though Luka was pretty good the last 2 games, even got in the team of the week. He's slowly adapting.

Don't be a moron, you know what I meant.

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

guys, let's spend a moment and ponder the fact that juventus would be better off getting any of the two. both have skills that juventus needs and for the adaptation risk they bring, both would be a gamble

 

[cunninlynguists]

Guys you have no clue.
Modric survived something that no Brazilian would. Only for that reason he's better.

He later claimed that "someone who can play in the Bosnian league can play anywhere", referring to the physical demands of the league.

 

[Ibrahimovic9]

haha modric is a funny dude, he is right too

yes he said it, so it must be true
