Had this conversation with a mate the other day. It’s not just the games. Which are hands down nowhere near as enjoyable as they were pre covid and pre VAR. It’s also the players. How many of today’s elite players are we going to talk about in 20/30 years? Kane? Mbappe? De Bruyne?Lamine Yamal?
Compare that to how many we talk about today from 10/20 years ago. Messi & Ronaldo. Ronaldinho. Rivaldo. Pirlo. Xavi. Iniesta. R9. Figo. Kaka. Zidane. David Silva. Neymar. Aguero. Batistuta. Henry.
