Re: Is Suárez the Uruguayan GOAT ?

by Hapless_Hans Sat Dec 12, 2015 6:39 pm

I read some articles also about this black player, Andrade, recently. (Not sure what was the occasion)

Quite apparently Uruguay had a number of supremely talented players in the first half of the 20th century.
We can't check how good 'exactly' they were but it's a tired enterprise IMO to try to pinpoint the 'greatest ever'.

Saddened by the disrespect to Nasazzi. He played in the 30s so he is totally counted out? That's just ridiculous.

Yup.Messi is the best Columbian and Paraguayan too not just Uruguayan.
I think some would argue that he's the best Brazilian too.

In europe drug abusers are frowned upon, there is no place for people like Messi in our straight edge tournament. (:

Actually put suarez in a mid table team and I reckon that he'll do better than messi tbh..

by McAgger Sat Dec 12, 2015 9:44 pm

Yes he is. Go ask any Uruguayan and they'll confirm it.

Uruguay is just another Argentine province.

Schiaffino is the best according to everyone and Suarez would need another Maracanazo to surpass him.

^ I've thought immediately about Schiaffino when I've read the title.
I know he's rated as the best , probably I 've listened to talk about him more than others because he played in Serie A.
He should have been a player similar to Pirlo yet he is considered also as the inventor of tackle too.

Yes.

Well, in modern times anyway.

Who's actually watched Uruguay pre 50's? Very Happy

No. Also, there is no point of this thread when you ask if Luisito is the greatest of ALL TIME and then say that you cannot consider players from eras ago.

by Harmonica Mon Dec 14, 2015 3:42 am

Forlan - Suarez

5th Ballon d'Or > 6th Ballon d'Or
WC Golden Ball > CA MVP
1 Europa League < 1 Champions League
1 League < 3 Leagues
2 Golden Shoes > 1 Golden Shoe

It's also quite even with Forlan and Suarez still.

Never said that, interpretation is not your forte it seems.

by Robespierre Mon Dec 14, 2015 7:38 pm

ffs respect for Forlan , okay, but Suarez was easily better than him.

Ruben Sosa ffs :bow:

Totally agreed
