That's why he can say that bullshit. I said trade one for the other. I know he has one...that's what makes his lie even more intolerable. He probably said the same thing about his other achievements when he won the World Cup...

Agreed. It's clearly really good without being compelling.
I dont think world cup beats cl or vice versa. Both have their ups and downs.
In the CL you have teams with too much (borrowed) money that dominate. At the World Cup you have populous nations that rule. So the players are kind if always set already. No surprises.
Level of play is higher in the CL, but the WC is more special cause its only once every 4 years and it unites the country.

Takes more than a couple of sad people on an internet forum to kill my joy, sweet Lightning. I'm listening to the new Madrid anthem on repeat and grinning from ear to ear
I can't wait to go to the Bernabeu and hear it thunder to the sound of 80 thousand voices!World cup is exciting exactly that it's country vs country it's every 4 years etc etc.
Domestic club level will always be more competitive than national team level.... international friendlies are absolutely a disaster for national clubs and every year there is always some major team affected by star players being injured during these friendlies.
Comparing World cup to Champions League as to what title is more important is silly because neither have to do with the other.
edit:
Also the theory that big money means you'll dominate every year.... well we see it season after season teams spending xxxx amount of money and never doing anything whether in CL or in domestic leagues...... Tottenham has done absolutely nothing with all the money they spent etc.... money doesn't mean titles
Dortmund, Atletico, and vast others are proving that... Montpellier etc
A few pictures. Phone auto corrected on me and I have read the thread unfortunately.
When pulga keeps doing it in weeks time like bla done last year then complain but now? Seriously? It's the CL!
Of course it's a general statement...meaning I believe most of them would respond that way. But hey go run a poll or something find the actual truth. I mean isn't that like saying the PL League is better than the CL? Who can really say...
Problem is money of course. CL will make you more over the course of your career...so to average player perhaps in the mind it might feel that way.
But in the heart and soul of every player. The World Cup is where dreams lie...any player who answers otherwise is lying to you and himself.

My girlfriend turned to me and said "we are betting on the world cup yeah?, I'm gonna watch every game"
I came so hard my dick sneezed
... yet again, no one is complaining because of the pictures :lol
letters as well, jesus christ
im out, im as bored of this as you all are.
Let the guy celebrate and spam pictures, his team won the fucking champions league. Season's over what else there to post about right now, wildly stupid EPL transfer rumors and whatsapp group in-jokes? Please. It's the same every year and when your team wins the ucl you will also be entitled to run a picture party for a week if you want to. Leave the thread for a few days if it bothers you that much.

In some ways the WC is more boring though if you are not from one of the 5/6 countries that win it.
At least in the CL there is always the chance of some new oil mogul to inject money in some shite team (city/chelsea) to propel them forward. Also the added bonus of seeing billion euro teams crash and burn.
But if im honest im such a sucker for the ec/wc buzz. Love it.

FYI, I only started becoming hostile after people here started berating me for the pictures and talking shit about Madrid. I was pretty fucking tranquil until then, so the Slowpoke and friends can do one.
edit: MADRID YOU MONEY HUNGRY WHORES WHY IS THE NEW ANTHEM $1 ON ITUNES SHOULD BE FREE YOU CUNTS

People start acting crazy the second the football season ends. That's my analysis.

Hostility which began directed at me when all I was doing was posting pictures. Like a few people have said, it's a damn CL title, the tenth one to booth, and MadridGAF has every right to celebrate.
Anderlecht also won the Uefa cup and they won the belgian championship 3 times in the 70's and 4 times in the 80's, far from a walkover.. and there wasn't much gap beetween the top european leagues and the others compared to today.. Dynamo Dresden reach a Uefa cup semifinal in 1989 and before them, Leipzig reached that stage in 1973..Magdeburg won a CWC and finally no East Germany team ever reached a EC semifinal
Atletico and Dortmund are the exceptions that prove the rule.
plus, the fact that clubs that don't/can't spend are always unable to sustain that success bc of lack of funds further proves that there is clear correlation and causal link between spending money and football success.

My favorite moment in World Cup history was when that Ahn Jung-hwan was sacked the next day by his Italian club Perugia for scoring the golden goal against Italy.
So fucking salty.
EDIT: I'm more interested for Dota The International 2014 than the World Cup.
It partly has to do with England always being a disappointment year after year.
Welbeck is the one guy Fergie should have molded into a midfielder (semi srs). He's big, pretty strong for his size, has got great stamina and speed, puts in a quality defensive shift, and has moments of attacking brilliance. He'd of made a quality box to box man instead of being a pretty ineffective attacking winger/decent striker.
I don't disagree with you.
The CL is the peak of what I care about in football. I don't care much for the world cup. Sure I'll watch it but I'd rather Barca win the CL. Then again Irish people don't have much to cheer for on the international stage.
You know that Dortmund lost against this years CL winner and was the only team that beat them ?
Plus they got more points in the league than last year, even without Götze or lots of injuries...
They're working pretty well.
And city is spending truckloads of money, yet they fail miserably in europe each year.
Of course it's a fact that money is a factor.
It's just no guarantee and with alot of hard work other clubs might be also able to achieve something.

The loss of Lewa will set them back a lot though. Not only replacing the player but he was worth a lot of money they miss out on with him moving for a free.

Be careful what you wish for. One day when Pulga's inundated you with the sickening, cloying triumphalism of the most expensive football dynasty in history you'll be begging to find out which wing we'll be playing Nani on.
Very intelligent and well run club. They know how to find top talented players for bargains.

Think they'll be OK. Aubemeyang has had a season to adjust and no club can have injury luck that bad two seasons in a row, unless you're Arsenal.
