FA Cup Semi-final draws:
Spurs v Manchester United
Chelsea v Southampton
Still think its bs that in the semis and if they make it final Spurs is basically playing with a home game advantage
Anyone from Hazard, Neymar, Suarez, or some other one-season wonders might be in the tier below them, but Ronaldo and Messi are definitely leagues ahead of their closest challengers.
Spurs Utd could be a great semi if Utd attack.
Thats a big IF. For it to have the potential to be a "great" game it would need Spurs to score early again like last time. We also need to sort out the whole Pogba/Sanchez dilema but I feel thats not going to resolved within a month.
Guess so yeah. Looks like I want Spurs to score first , and then Utd to really go for it.
I dont really see a big advantage. United have played at Wembley plenty of times in recent years and the ticket allocation will be 50/50 so its not going to feel like a home game for Spurs from that respect. Heck 8 months ago everyone was saying Spurs were cursed at Wembley and coudlnt play their, now its an advantage, I just done see a huge one personally.
Having said that, I wont be surprised if Jose brings that up as an excuse should we lose.
Its got nothing to do with fans its experience and knowinh the pitch. You really think spurs would be happy if it was played at old trafford.
The final should be Wembley the semi at a neutral ground or cardiff
I'd prefer if only the finals were at Wembley.
I swear my Reds are littered with world-class strikers of late who just carry the squad, but can't deliver us a title. In the last 10 years we've had Torres, Suarez and now Salah (though not exactly a striker).
I see Higuain got his first call-up in almost a year for Argentina. It's amazing the attacking talent they have. Messi, Aguero, Higuain, Dybala, Icardi, DiMaria, Lavezzi. I think only France can match them.

I'd probably choose Neymar from those although he will likely play half his career in another generation (to Ronaldo at least). The other contenders for no.3 who played most of their career at the same time as the 2 big guns didn't have either the same consistency or max level.
Yeah I think outside of the big two Neymar has the most natural talent and highest likelihood of taking over, but he's busy ****ing around with his career because he wants to be mr. big shot moneypants. The rest of the tier below them chops and changes, one season Hazard is a world beater, next season it's Lewandowski, now Salah, and so it goes.
Credit to Messi and Ronaldo, the two of them have managed not to get distracted too much by off-field frivolities and they don't seem to buy into their own hype enough to stop working hard.
I didn't quite follow that. Did you mean his world cup place is in doubt or that he will do enough just at World Cups to prove himself as the best?Did Neymar sacrifice potential? His ticket is the World Cup imo. He gets that, he is golden.

Neymar sacrificed some of his potential with that unnecessary PSG move. He was the obvious heir to world player of the year if he kept going as he was but took a wrong choice IMO.
