world football's next big thing

Goleo

"At just 18, the rascally lion is still young but already brimming with confidence in his own abilities. He combines the looks of Lothar Matthäus, the elegance of Diego Maradona and the all-round ability of Oliver Bierhoff - or so the brash young lion says of himself in his first interview, albeit with a wink and a grin."

[Raider Ultra]

That thing is hideous. Bring back the Atmos!

Its RVN and Ronaldihno's love child....

and the all-round ability of Oliver Bierhoff

pfft he's no Jurgen Klinnsman or Franz Beckenbauer then. This is a joke right ? Have the Germans already forgotten about these two greats ? My dad will be very upset to hear they've been forgotten already, especially Beckenbauer

 

[Tidus_Raider]

That's gotta be up there with one of the worst mascots ever!

Klinnsman?

This "thing" must be the world's biggest diver then... ;-)

 

[Matt23]

Klinsmann must have been one of Totti's idols then...

I think you are mistaking Totti for Deco - or Inzaghi. ;-)

LOL Hybrid

Yes he dived in his younger years, but towards the end proved how much class he had when he gave up that sad facet of his game.

Still ... even you would scoff at the "all round ability of Oliver Bierhoff" surely :lol:

OVP, Klinnsman was one of the worst diver's I've ever seen. He was a great player, but the way he threw himself to the ground was seriously pathetic and took away from the attraction of watching him play - FFS, even Inzaghi doesn't do it as much.

As for Bierhoff, yes I would scoff at that.

ok mate

but how about when klinnsman decided he was gay if he continued "diving" ... he totally remodelled his game completely. And it was funny to see him 10 times the player he used to be at the end of his career ... which is very rare when you think about it. He totally changed tack and relied on his abundant natural ability for a change. At his best, i've not seen many finer than Jurgen. Sure there's a few, but they are few and far between, especially comparing him to today's standards. Dennis Bergkamp, while better imo, was similar to Jurgen at his best. What do you think ?

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Klinnsman was good, but one of the finest? I wouldn't go that far.

it's Alf!
