The European football thread

Name somebody who's a better combination of #10 and #9 all in one? Bergkamp comes close.

Actually Pele is the obvious best but I hadn't considered him.

Pele, Bergkamp, Messi when he's playing in behind, Rooney, Totti.

it's not that popular of a role tbf so I can't give you a comprehensive list.

Totti is a good shout. I'd say Messi never came close to being a #9, he just played central for a few years. Bergkamp isn't in the same class, dude barely scored any goals.

Football is a funny game.

'Best team in Europe' Real Madrid lost at home last night and are 7 points behind 'self imploding', end of an era Barca without Neymar just five games in. League is gone.

Messi has scored 12 in 8 apps

Messi is finally showing his true form. Super Saiyan Messi this season.

Just in time for Russia.

last year was Ronaldo's year, this year it's back to being all about Messi. with ronaldo's suspension and Madrid playing like **** Messi is still just doing his thing with Barca.

super bummed about Dembele getting injured though, he's so fun to watch. not sure anyone can fill Neymar's boots but a two footed player with moves like he has will most certainly prosper playing alongside Suarez and Messi. hope he's back soon.

Just a heads up that it's Rangers vs Celtic this weekend at Ibrox. Lots of bigotry and bants to look forward to

. There will be some football played too.

Hoping for a Gers win really, Celtic constantly bumming them isn't good for entertainment or the title race. A win would put Rangers back in the race (obviously they won't win it).

despite the obvious gap between the teams now it's still a good time. will be watching.

Noon tomorrow UK time, not sure what time is in Canada, I'm guessing 4/5am?
