Sharing my views on the game. FC Barcelona fan since 2006. Debunk Myths and Analyse Players

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

@Romanofan82739 @Thefrenchlad274 I agree. But you're gonna need to ask yourself - do you take Kimmich's rather average defending for exceptional passing and creation or Pedri's superior defensive game for his good not great chance creation.

I'd choose Pedri personally.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

In the entire 2020s decade so far I'm only picking Modric and KDB over the Pedri we saw last season

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

There isn’t a midfielder on the planet I’d have above Pedri, and I’d make a strong case that I’ve never seen a midfielder at the level he’s consistently been at since he was a literal 16YO.

If he has occasional drop offs (which are massively exaggerated btw), it’s because every coach he’s played under values him too much to actually give him a sufficient amount of rest.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

At first I was like 26 years is awfully specific. Then I remembered we're in 2026 and have gone through 3 different generations of football in this century already.

[Luzeniho @luzen360]

he's by far one of the 10s in the last 26 years.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

@blancoparotta Yeah I agree there's also the thing that back in the day just flair was enough to get you through the door. Now even a guy like Yamal needs 50 g/a to be part of any serious conversation.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

Disagree with Nani, agree w Costa though. Tbf it was pretty universally agreed that in say, 2016 he was one of the 6-7 best wingers itw.

In a VERY strong pool of wingers btw. So yeah. If Gordon goes for 80 mil I wonder what someone like Costa goes for.

[Captn 🇵🇸 @CaptnGuardiola]

I feel like dribbling becoming a lost art in modern football is the only thing driving up prices for some dribblers. I swear some of these 80M€ wingers today aren't necessarily better dribblers than guys like Nani, Douglas Costa or Coman from a decade ago.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

What did you notice this based on?

[Agnik🇵🇹 @golazonaldo_]

One of the most beautiful thing I noticed among the Portuguese players that they all want to play for Ronaldo and want him to win the World Cup except João Cancelo of course.

It feels very similar to the mentality Argentina's players had toward Lionel Messi during the 2022 WC.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

This was not said about Messi. Or Suarez. Or Neymar.

[HasToBeMessi @itsworldclass]

Lamine's goal contributions are supposed to be an EDGE for our squad. Not the foundation

60/70% of our goals should be systematic. Systematic goals are what win you the big big games because you don't have to rely on your star players to "show up"

MOVE. THE. BALL. TO. THE. NET.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

This would be a good front 3 tbh.

[FT @FootbalTimelyn]

He’s showing Deschamp the front 3 he wants for France at the World Cup 😭😭

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

Solid take. This person definitely watched this WC

[matt law @THEZONEEEEEE]

Spain deserved to win in South Africa and were far superior to Germany when they actually played them, but the team with the highest level of performance in that tournament was definitely Germany imo just tearing everybody they played apart

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

He's in year 3 give him some time to work on his game. As is a big reason he doesn't bang with 7 ft guys in the paint is to prevent injuries.

I'm sure eventually his post game will develop.

[Jacob @Jacobtheclipper]

I told yall not having a post game is going to cost Wemby.

When push comes to shove playing like a guard wont get you far ✌️

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

@Thefrenchlad274 I thought about 20/21 Kimmich. It's close but for me Pedri's superior defending wins it.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

@thedoctor00_ Yeah true. I missed him

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

@eltubrutus Fair point

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

@eltubrutus Nasty statpad sesh

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

I disagree, I don't think Doue is a generational talent.
Mbappe and Dembele are greater talents and they broke through only 8 or so years ago. Sancho and Saka are also comparable talents.

Yamal is a different tier guys. Stop bringing him down to Doue's level.

[𝐄𝐑 @ErlingRoIe]

Doue and Yamal is the distinction between generational talent and all timer talent

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

@CRISGOATIANO Now do UCL winners IN World Cup winning squads.

You're suggesting an opposite correlation - more UCLs generally means higher tournament quality, which means a higher chance to win.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

Imagine if Messi came into a tournament with UCL winning midfield, best LB itw, a top 5 CB of the 2020s, a top 5 AM of the 2020s and some good (if not great) pieces around them.

The cut victim complex among Ronaldo fans is genuinely hilarious. It's almost as if they know he's

[Kylian's Kompany @someballfacts]

Nah I'm convinced you people are deeply ill and hate football. Very miserable. Portugal is an outsider for the World Cup under any circumstances. Choose a different career path mate.

When I say Messi and Ronaldo have been judged by two different measuring sticks their entire careers and the degree of vitriol Ronaldo has faced vs the support and adulation and protection in the media Messi enjoyed - I am proved right again and again. If you're around long enough you would see it.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

@AarnavVerm96079 No, a strong showing was never enough. Maradona won in 86. Maradona himself said Messi will take his place in football history. Messi HAD TO win. Anything else would be a failure.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

This is how they were treating him back then

None of that "he is an outsider" bullshit.

World Cup or bust. Because his benchmark was Pele and Maradona.

[Oyiga Micheal @Nsukka_okpa]

Messi World Cup career before FIFA stepped in to save his legacy:

• 2006: Benched
• 2010: 0 Goals
• 2014: Choked the final
• 2018: Knocked out by a teenager

Zero international trophies,
Zero knockout goals.

They started doing COPA America every year instead of two years just to make him win over Chile.
They brought back Finalisiima after so many years because Ronaldo had Euros and lied that the competition is important to football.
Why wasn’t the Finalisima played between Spain and Argentina if it’s important?
The moment FIFA needed a script for Qatar, he suddenly got 5 penalties in 7 games.

Let’s stop pretending.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

@AarnavVerm96079 Did he not come back

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

Deep this - Messi's international career was being set up being his OWN manager since he was 18 years old.
Expectation to win was on his shoulders ever since 2008. When he was 20.

This is what Messi and LeBron dealt with at the age where mfs cut themselves after breakups. GOATs

[Huz @huzcw7l]

deep down we all know Ronaldo isn't winning the world cup 💔

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

@andriii110 Says washed right there.

[The Footy Dynamic @TheFootyDynamic]

They're being overplayed like crazy.... Foden Saka Jude Lamine Pedri Musiala Gavi it feels like everyone is getting a quicker start.

Partly because the 90s generation, which was supposed to be peaking now, was so shit. Thiago, Isco, Neymar, Griezmann etc etc washed.

[BR0TD🕊 @bronthedouble]

Many of the youngsters from the new generation are already losing the explosive directness they had earlier on. Time’s a gimmick.
