Alves doesn't suck for Brazil though.

Except in the friendly against Germany. He got that penalty nicely, from Lahm of all people, but besides that he got owned a bit. But in other matches he is actually as good for Brazil as he is for Barca, so he's a good shout imho.

by Zealous Wed 12 Oct 2011 - 20:37

Alvez has been pretty poor for Brazil as of late though Viva.

by billionmillion Wed 12 Oct 2011 - 20:37

So? Messi got 10 assists in last 7 matches. but what they win? baltters ass. if you count friendlies messi made headlines against brazil france spain portugal

The Brazil NT has been pretty poor for Brazil as of late, though, no?

Awww, here I go again: they should've kept Dunga.

Hey hey now, Blatter's ass is actually a very coveted prize you know.

xavi was crap for large chunks of last season apart from maybe the CL final and other handful of games, this season it doesnt exactly look like he is improving lol, btw xabi alonso is spains second top scorer under VDB

villa second...... *not sure if serious*

and ozil for the NT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>any other midfielder around the world

Really? Bias aside do you really think Ozil is better for club and country then Xavi in the last 3 years??? Comon man I know your a Madrid fan and you hate Xavi but give credit where it's due!

by aford92 Wed 12 Oct 2011 - 21:13

Probably Xavi or Ozil.

Xavi is regista, Oezil something else. Of course, Xavi influences a game in many more ways than Oezil. Still, both of them perform for club and country. Messi is the real victim, he can't influence anything at all without midfielders, not his job but makes him look very bad.

Your IQ is below avarage. without midfielders? or without midfielders, defenders and goalkeeper? without a team would be better sentence. nobody would perform better than messi if he played for argentina instead of messi. but instead messi would perform better than anyone if he played for the teams that you mentioned

by Harmonica Wed 12 Oct 2011 - 21:28

Messi.

You should test your IQ level first,you know the part about reading comprehension.I wrote Messi is the victim, what's so hard to understand?

by billionmillion Wed 12 Oct 2011 - 21:33

he cant influence anything at all is not a right word. wasnt he main influence in WC 2010? 80% of teams goals came from him. seems you dont watch him play, you just read goal.com headlines

Who cares about midfielders, defenders or goalkeeper? Messi should be able to win the game by himself, else he's trash. Who cares if the defense is bad? If Argentina loses, it's his fault. Isn't that what you said about Ronaldo yesterday? Why is it any different now?

Leo Messi and Xavi Hernandez hands down. Is there even any question?
I've never seen two players perform so consistently at a high level for both club and country.
A lot of you will obviously say that Messi doesn't perform for country, but that's just because you don't know anything.

by Pedram Wed 12 Oct 2011 - 23:27

Iniesta for Spain and Özil for Germany. maybe Cassano for Italy too but he's inconsistent.

looool. Ozil is ot even in Xavi's postcode, don't mention them in the same breadth. Xavi was poor last season? He tore both our teams apart last season. (5-0) and (3-1). By his standards, maybe, but hwe was still above evry other cm in the world. Ozil? Haha, where was Ozil when Xavi dominated Germany? hwere was Ozile when Barca won 5-0 and 2-0, where was ozil? Don't call that dudes name. Come back to me when he is the fulcrum of a team that wins the cl, euros and WC. I'm not even a fan of xavi, but this is just ridiculous tbh.

i knew you were gonna mention 5-0, wait a sec we made jeffren look like world class ffs, how about mentioning any of the other games we had against them, seriously i bet you dont even watch him play just ride on his rep from 2-3 years ago, its been know for a while xavi is on a DECLINE

was xavi really that good in the 2-0 game, seriously??? dont embarrass yourself ffs

btw ozil vs barca second league meeting???, ozil vs barca copa final??, ozil vs barca first leg super copa??? what do you call those, where was xavi then??? wait it cant be one offs anymore can they smfh.....go figure he had better performance than most of those divers

mate ozil is already the fulcrum for both madrid and germany, while germany looks like a proper united team, spain look soo disjointed and rely on individuals to score

also ozils first season, we reached the semi-final, he had most asissts in the CL, second most asissts in the league, and has got most asissts as of now for the qualifiers

come back to me after youve done some background research on ozil....thnk you

by Be/\/ceCALI Thu 13 Oct 2011 - 19:53

Pirlo, Xavi, Ozil, Schweinsteiger, David Villa, Arjen Robben, Cavani

by Adit Thu 13 Oct 2011 - 20:07

Ozil has been amazing for both.

by Be/\/ceCALI Thu 13 Oct 2011 - 20:09

I forgot to add David Silva to my list. Always admired his play, and won't forget that screamer he scored against Chelsea when he still played at Valencia

by billy_gr Thu 13 Oct 2011 - 21:41
