Worthless as usual, De Gea and Cortouis both sucks compared to real goalkeepers like Casillas, Buffon, Handanovic, De Sanctis, Wiedenfaller.
Everyone knows that Barzagli and Chiellini are the best centre backs, clearly. Maicon is better than Lahm, Lichtsteiner and anyone else playing right back.
And what the hell happend with Iniesta, Fabrégas and Xavi? They are world class, note that Vidal is better than everyone (including Pogba) on that midfielder list. Pirlo than the most.
Seriously, how could one seriously believe that Gündogan, Matic and Matuidi are better than Vidal and Pirlo? That’s merely obscene.
Forwards were good, I still think Higuaín is better than most on that list, Giuseppe Rossi scoring more goals than practically all of them (almost) . And that happend with Suárez?
Awful.
