    Luis Suarez’s career post Barca, has honestly been incredible with what he has been able to accomplished with Atletico Madrid, Nacional and now with Gremio potentially.

    I know many people don’t want to hear it, and this is coming from someone who grew up around R9, but Luis Suarez is definitely the best Striker of his generation by a considerable gap from Lewandowski, Benzema, Aguero and Kane. Ill even further the point that Suarez is better and greater than R9 in the sport, but many people do not want to entertain that.

    Suarez has seemingly gone to every team he has ever played for an succeeded individually and almost nearly (outside of Liverpool) won a league title. Even though he didn’t win something with Liverpool, he was undoubtably the best player in the Prem till he left and his last season is one of, if not the best season the PL has seen individually.

      The Suarez vs Lewandoski debate is the most braindead talking point in football imo. Lewa was banging in goals for a super team vs nobodies from the bundesliga while suarez was pulling historically clutch moment out of nowhere year after year. Especially win kane now and how lewa is doing its beyond clear that lewa needed bayern more than bayern needed him.

      I could care less about champions league stats, anyone who’s watched both of them seriously with their own eyes sees there’s 0 debate

        Not to mention the hundreds of assists in difference. This is a man that topped goals and assists charts at every league he has played in. Most goals and assists for Uruguay.

        What’s the comparison here?

        Agree with the rest of your comment but this part is braindead. Bayern isn’t always as dominant as they look in results. Lewy has never gotten credit for the periods where Bayern looks a mess and he’s carried their dead attack on his shoulders.

    There’s a famous saying in Brazilian football: “there are things that only happen to Botafogo”.

    On days like these you can definitely see where that comes from

    Huh I knew Rafael (Da Silva) played for Botafogo, today I found out that his twin Fabio plays for Gremio. Funny that.

    Botafogo is literally pulling off an Arsenal right now. They can’t take advantage of their one game to spare, and they’ve lost 2 consecutive 3-4 thrillers. It would be very shameful if they squander what was once a double digit gap.

    Things to highlight:

    1 - Botafogo is pathetic. 2 - Santos will NEVER be relegated.
