@noteimporta779@NotoriusBFD@SbondyNBA OP is right, Rafa was horrible for the Red Bulls, and far and away their worst DP signing of all time - on top of constantly being suspended by team or league for infantile stuff, not being good when he was available, he single-handedly knocked Red Bulls out of the 2012 playoffs
@deadeyeperazzi@FranceskAlbs What you are “pointing out” is not correct - again the term has nothing to do with Arabs - it is only about Jews- the person who made up the term said as much and the nazis reaffirmed it
On the rest, I’ll give you the benefit that you are just lacking intelligence and move on
@deadeyeperazzi@FranceskAlbs Why don’t you re-read my post and what grok told you, the term refers to Jews only and always has
So all of what you said in your post about it applying equally to Arabs or a change in definition etc. is just complete nonsense
@deadeyeperazzi@FranceskAlbs Thank you for further proving the point, you likely should have asked grok prior to your first post
It’s has nothing to do with Arabs and has always only applied to Jews
@ProspectsUsmnt You presented that opinion as a “history lesson” not me
You seem to overrate u17 performances vs views of scouts and teams
If that defines a prospect Messi would be bagging mcds and Sinama-Pongolle would be the goat
MA not hitting pace or 1v1 of puli - what makes him better
@ProspectsUsmnt Hence “rambling” - “no knowing if Reyna would’ve gotten a chance to play up at a U-17 WC like Albert. However, if he did it would’ve been as one of the last few onto the team.”
Telling you refuse to engage with the rest of the post tho
@ProspectsUsmnt Ur rambling tweet insinuated he wouldn’t be selected up, which he was. Albert is not the prospect gio/puli/cavan were/are - could prove to be the better pro than gio or puli(unlikely) if he doesn’t have injuries like they did. But let’s not lie because we don’t like gios attitude
@ProspectsUsmnt This is the bigger point, you’re cherry picking to downplay someone who was already widely viewed as a top global prospect. At Albert’s age, Gio was No. 23 on NXGN and getting real Dortmund minutes. I truly hope Albert gets there, but he hasn’t reached that level yet.
@BenevolusLeland@HabCorpLinguist Reading is hard, he def didn’t say bomb pagers “went on to children”, a few unfortunate children of hezbollah parents grabbed their parents pagers to hand to them - they were not distributed to any children or civilians
@chisum_lane@ProspectsUsmnt@usmnthub@St8ofFootball he certainly made that claim to avoid replying to the substance of the tweet, I didn’t say those things were at 17yr4mos tho - sure I said cup instead of bl, I mean okay? Saying he is a better prospect than gio and puli is factually incorrect, weird not to harp on that
@ProspectsUsmnt@MavStreetsBack You remember incorrectly, jude got the start in the ucl matches, but Jude and gio same number of appearances, Jude slightly more total minutes, gio more bundesliga minutes.
You keep ignoring the injuries to prove some huge flaw that’s really just “I don’t like his body language”
@ProspectsUsmnt This is the bigger point, you’re cherry picking to downplay someone who was already widely viewed as a top global prospect. At Albert’s age, Gio was No. 23 on NXGN and getting real Dortmund minutes. I truly hope Albert gets there, but he hasn’t reached that level yet.
@ProspectsUsmnt Feel like useful part of the history lesson - at that time some fans felt he gave off a sense of being selfish and too good for the rest of the US team and have always hated him for it, when paired with quality teammates was never a selfish player
@ProspectsUsmnt That’s not really a rebuttal, that’s confirming he was playing up. Gio was a 2002 selected with the 2001s, his Nov birthday is why he was 13. At 14 he scored in the Dream Cup on a US team that went 0-3. Albert was likewise a 2009 with the 2008s. Same cohort logic applies.
@chisum_lane@ProspectsUsmnt@usmnthub@St8ofFootball Sorry, unused sub and not on the bench for last two bundesliga matches. I truly hope he becomes a top player, just don’t see anything from past or at the moment that says he will be. And please tell me what else has been factually wrong
@ProspectsUsmnt Feel like useful part of the history lesson - at that time some fans felt he gave off a sense of being selfish and too good for the rest of the US team and have always hated him for it, when paired with quality teammates was never a selfish player
@ProspectsUsmnt At 13 gio was already playing up with the U.S. U16s; at 14 he won the GA Cup Golden Ball; at 15 he was DA Conference POY. True Alvarez was a top prospect - both gio and him different levels to Albert
@ProspectsUsmnt@usmnthub@St8ofFootball At his exact age he was #23 nxgn - Albert is not making those lists. All the other acclaim would apply for end of this season. Are you projecting that by the end of this bundesliga season he will hit the marks Reyna was, he isn’t making the bench for cup matches yet
@ProspectsUsmnt@usmnthub@St8ofFootball Albert looks to be solid in a lot of areas as you said, just don’t see anything he does that is exceptional that would put his ceiling at world class, qualities that Cavan, reyna, and to some extent pulisic had as prospects
@ProspectsUsmnt@usmnthub@St8ofFootball He was also getting golden boy nominations, kopa votes, #3 nxgn above Jude and pedri
Ppl don’t like his attitude, that’s fine - but as a prospect he was a different level than Albert
