Not great mate. Lots of talent on the pitch but non stop niggly fouls and players rolling over for the fun of it. We've debated Immobile, Kane and Sterling etc in the Euros but they are strictly division two compared to these guys in the play acting stakes. Still an interesting game but could have been so much more. Good to see and hear 7000 fans in the stadium.

[Lancs Harp]

Congratulations Argentina, first title since 1993.

Far from a classic, worth staying up till 3 am for? Not really, a bit of a shocker to be honest.

What he spent the whole time fouling Neymar. Brasil deserved at least a draw and in the second half really took the game to Argentina who were cynical foulers and time wasters. Very anti football.

Would disagree.

I don’t think there is any key standout international teams right now. Like the Euros - several teams could easily win the World Cup.

Argentina team isn’t the best they have had for the last few years but they played as a team hence the win.

Fantastic for Messi and well deserved.

Lots of sport on today but worth a watch for the tackles and fouls alone - ripped shorts / bloody socks and while it was stop start it was pretty funny entertainment at times.

[MWHIBBIES]

I agree. He is well ahead. You don't score an extra 400 goals because pitches and team mates are better. 400 ****ing goals. The difference is bigger than the number Maradona scored.

Messi isn’t even the best player of his generation, he has remained in his comfort zone banging in goals against average teams in Spain. Messi has never come close to matching what Maradona did for his country and I’d imagine that if there was a poll in Argentina Maradona would win it hands down. Messi is a genius, but Maradona was the greatest.

The old comfort zone of a top league and a top team. Very naive if you think the current Barcelona side is a comfort zone for anyone.

You have a clear favourite, but you're argument isn't based on any real facts.

Even if Messi is the second best player of this generation, he's better than Maradona.

Also, average teams? Willing to bet his record against Big sides and great teams is also significantly better than Maradona. Most goals in classicos, 2nd most CL goals etc. He wins every head to head.

Maradona had a great World Cup in 86. Messi has just won the Copa as top scorer, assister and best player. No one has ever done that at a major tournament

Look up Wiki if you don’t believe me but I suppose he could just make it up himself on there

I prefer to go with the official figures 775 and 75 which are still ahead of Messi and Maradona whichever way you might want to look at it

GOAT imho

[Iggy Pope]

I reckon Pele, Maradona and Messi are close to the best players ever to have played the game.
Same goes for Stanton, McGinn, Dalglish, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Maldini, Charlton and Best. And both the Ronaldos, Viera, Petit, Pires, Henry and Roy Keane.
The rest of you need a wee set of Top Trumps cards to settle your spats.

Edit
And Zidane was probably the most complete player I was lucky enough to ever see in the flesh, even including all of the above.

His Wikipedia suggests he scored 709 in 766 appearances at club level with the vast majority of them being scored in a regional tournament with teams from Sao Paolo.

He didn’t fair nearly as well when he played in the proper top tier of Brazilian football where his goals record dropped to about a goal every 1.7 games.

Calling it a regional tournament doesn’t really reflect the high standard - that was just the way it was set up.

His record when he came to play the top European teams of the time is also excellent.

A quick google of the greatest player ever to play the game and the majority of professional footballers and managers or pundits are saying Leo.

I think his period between 2008-2012 was the highest level of play ever seen in the game by anyone by a considerable difference.

Great to get back to actually watch a game with other spectatorsI cycled along to Innerleithen to watch Vale of Leithen, for the first time, vs Cumbernauld Colts. Was great to be back and whilst Cumbernauld were the better side first half it took a bad defensive error for their first goal. After that Vale's heads went down and they lost 2 further quick goals before half-time. 2nd half was pretty much a non-event, although temperature probably affected things. Vale had a man sent off and a late goal made it 0-4. Cumbernauld look a decent outfit, but Vale will struggle and it's only Covid that's saved then from relegation the last 2 years. Crowd about 50.

Have to say improvements at K&Dysart have been pretty good due mainly to the fact they've moved from the Juniors to the East of Scotland league. Ground is now fully fenced, new toilets, new refreshments kiosk & a bar with outside seating to be used when appropriate.
The standard of football yesterday was decent after an initial scrappy 20 mins, all in all just great to be back with others watching a game.
Note: neater pies or cold drinks ran out ��& our crowd slightly in excess of 60 by my quick count ��

Looking at the fixtures I see Kirkcaldy & Dysart have a home game against the famous Leith Athletic on Tuesday 2oth,should be good for an evening entertainment 🙂

Sent from my VOG-L29 using TapatalkI watched most of the game yesterday and other than a few clever moves I thought overall celtic were poor, particularly Ajeti, did they seriously pay £5m for him ? I felt he did not try a leg. Looking at our own Kevin Nisbet in comparison, who in the two games Ive seen has looked very sharp

Absolutely, said it at the time but he feels like such a poor appointment considering the money they have.

He won’t see out the season and you may as well hand Rangers the title now. The ground Celtic have to make up is huge.

Goalkeeper as well has looked a liability every time I've seen him.

Still some decent players going forward though.

Lucky for them there's no "away goals rule" this year.

That back 5 looks absolutely minging. No idea how you go from "quadruple treble" to that in so little time.

Bitton was stupid but come on, he pointed at the guy and touched him with his finger. I know under the rules it’s probably a booking but I despair when players are sent off for stuff like that. You’ll see challenges go unpunished in this game that merit a card far more than that.

Players know the rules. As much as I agree with you that there was pretty much nothing in it, Bitton of all people should know better.

Celtc should probably see this out, even with 10. Midtjylland look toothless going forward.

Celtic do look dodgy. We could have a real go at them this season

[H18 SFR]

I thought Celtic looked better than they were last year until the red card then they seemed to instantly slip back into the style/tactical approach they adopted last year.

All their attacking play in front of the box with zero penetration.

I suspect if you can stop them playing their A-game then it’s there to win.

They looked very "work in progress" to me. Their middle 3 of Turnbull, McGregor and Soro will be the strongest in the league but there were some brutal players in their team tonight.

There's an awful lot of improving to be done in a very short period of time if they're to get anywhere near Rangers.

Shame we don't have them earlier in the season as they look there for the taking right now, and you'd expect they'd bring in a few defenders and have them bedded in by the time we play them in late September.

I suspect Angie had maybe underestimated the size of the job he has taken on, they need a huge rebuild after Lennon's mismanagement.

I think Martin O'Neill and Rodgers made us forgot how bad some Celtic managers have been...

I thought there were signs that if they get signings in they’ll be much better than last season once they get going. The style the manager wants to play could cost them a few goals domestically if they’ve not got a new defence by the start of the season

The full-time team gradually got on top as the game went on. Their first goal was a clever move but overall they didn't look to have much creativity. The defence kept the Binos out without too much difficulty. It was a comfortable evening for them so it's difficult to know how they'll deal with premier opposition.

Disagree about the midfield 3 being the best in the league not sure how highly I rate Soro and Turnbull to be honest.

Thought they was much more energy going forward. Thought Danes were disappointing so not sure how flattered Celtic may have been. Their defence and goalie are very poor imo need huge investment there.

Maybe let's see watched the game last night and thought he was ok nothing more. Christie and McGregor by comparison were much better. Seems to flit in and out of games but obviously a goal threat. My post was more about being the best midfield 3 in Scotland which disagreed with.

What surprised me was that they seem to have fielded full-strength teams in their League Cup matches, which most top flight teams use to give experience to some youngsters. Not even their reserve goalkeeper got a whiff of action.
