The bullshit that surrounds 'Zlatan'
Anybody would think he is one of the best footballers who ever lived the way they bang on & on about him

The pundits' mindset that dictates that belgium will do well because they have lots of premier league players whereas italy are no hopers because they have very few.

And as it happened Italy played well as a team whereas Belgium looked very disjointed. Italy impressed me last night, they could be dark horses this tournament. |

One of the best who ever lived ? Not for me he ain't.
He hasn't ever been arguably the best player in the world so isn't in that company.

Messi
Ronaldo
Ibra
---
Everyone else in some undetermined order.
14 titles in 16 years, and still absolutely smashing it at top, top level football at 34 - something Messi and Ronaldo won't be (or already aren't when it comes to Messi).

I would put Suarez above him tbh. I would put Suarez above any of those 3 at the moment actually |

Messi is only 28?  You have missed Miles Storey off that list as well! |

41 goals in 49 games and providing 23 assists (2015-16) is hardly a fading force? Not sure about Suarez, he has had a good season and forced Barcelona to amend their system to accommodate him, as you say a couple of years will tell? |

Zlatan was at Barca, for one season, Guardiola got rid as he said he got in the way. Barca won't be looking to get rid of Suarez any time soon. |

There's never going to be an end to this, can't we go back to people who talk too loudly on phones?

Do you have any idea how weak most of Ligue 1 is? He's good, but he's talked himself way above his station. He looked pretty ordinary last night. |
