    Just STFU already. Now you are going to tell us about the "more well rounded Uruguay team"
    "This is why my basketball intelligence is unmatched on this site. I'm sure there are better cappers but no one can tell you the strategies of most coaches before the game even starts "

      All garbage every year.

      They go back to their pee wee leagues and everyone acts like they are gods.

      These guys played how many games and don't think they scored one goal against a real team that meant anything.

      Pele, Maradona, Zidane, Boniek, klose, etc.
      Imagine these guys scoring 1 goal in the 3 world cups.

      Messi actually got goal or two cause he got to play against some homeless countries. We all know once he plays Netherlands or someone like that he won't do shit.
      one of the dumbest threads ive seen in a long time at SBR. Every year? First of all the World Cup is every 4 years and Lionel Messi has been brilliant so far in the World Cup. Did you not see his amazing game winning shot?

      Reminded me of Angelina Jolie in that movie "The Wanted" the way she made the bullets curve around 1 person to hit another. Messi does a great job of creating something out of nothing and has single handedly put Argentina on his back and said I will not be stopped. Messi is on a mission fellas, you can see it in his eyes.

The ppl that all score a lot in the world cup do so usually because their teams are stacked. The germans, the old brazil teams, the french teams and italian teams of the early 2000s.

        How many goals has Pirlo scored during his world cups? Is it his job to score? Pirlo has been the best player on Italy and one of the best midfielders in the world if not he best for the past 15 years.
        Oh yeah and what are all these weapons Uruguay has besides Suarez,without him they are lost period,do you actually believe they would be in the WC without him.

          Ever time ronaldo plays you know he won't do shit. Maybe boot a shot 100 feet wide.
          Ronaldo sent a perfect cross magic Johnson style to complete the latest goal in regulation WC history. Had to count for something. 3 us defenders there and only one Portuguese player but he gets the header

                pirlo is great on those free kicks but the best midfielder the last 15 years? I think he gets more due than he truly deserves because he looks like he is 45 yrs old with that beard and he resembles "the most interesting man in the world"

                dont get me wrong i root for him and he was great to watch during wc 06 but lets not get carried away here

                    Rooney is not a top 10 player. I don't know why you put him on the same list as Messi or Ronaldo.

                    Messi has 2 goals and will go at least to the semifinals possibly, Neymar has 4 goals already, Ronaldo is playing with tendinitis.

                    Not sure what your point is.

                      Once you score 10 goals or more especially in international play you're basically in the soccer Hall of Fame
