    They are also critical of Hugo Sanchez for being a terrible and overpaid coach. Chivas fans hate Ochoa, they mock him by saying he closes his eyes when he catches the ball. Chicharito, I feel people are fond of, as well as Hector Herrera, and Andres Guadrado. An dark horse is Chucky Lozano, they love him.

    I've heard alot of criticism for Hugo Sánchez.

    IDK all the Mexicanos I know make fun of Rafa Marquez for being a cartel bitch. Ask America fans and Guillermo Ochoa is top of the list. 

    I actually forgot about him. But you're right, he is likely number one. México have had some top players but then some who could have become much more for them, especially Vela.

     

     

    The greatest ever player from Central America is Mágico González.

    Unfortunately the Houthis won't be able to do much against more experienced and more well equipped mass murderers like the US & UK military. Always making sure that a war is taking place on someone else's turf and against far weaker opposition is a privilege that only the biggest dickhead country's have and it makes it a situation where the opposition just has to survive rather than a situation that they can win. Either everyone just bows down to these types of countries or they get slapped around. Sad state of affairs.

    Shouldn't you be out pulling statues down or gluing your head to the road or something?

    As for other picks, these are the ones I want to leave a comment on.

    I will admit Bobby Moore passed my mind but England has so many players despite only having 1 World Cup. They are the pioneers of the sport after all. I think Moore, Hurst, Keegan, Lineker, Rooney all have a proper shot. I'm sure there are also many pre-50 footballers that I am not familiar with.

    Hans Krankl! My dad told me great things about him and how he was a star for Austria.

    Great choices for France. Platini NEEDS to be in all of them, but second choice is between Zinedine Zidane and Mbappe for me.

    Spain is Xavi, Iniesta, Luis Suarez, Butragueño and Puyol I think.

    Portugal is the easiest pick after Argentina.

    Disagree with the USA ones. Friedel is worthy of a spot but I don't think Dempsey gets ahead of Donovan.

    Zico is a superb pick and is forgotten because Brazil didn't win that World Cup, however that Brazil team is supposedly the best to never win and them not winning it changed their mindset for the rest of time. I think second choice could be Zico, Fat Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Garrincha. There is so much to pick from but those 4 are heads and shoulders above the rest. Neymar, Vava, Kaka, Tostao, Roberto Carlos, Marcelo and Cafu all have a say but I wouldn't call them different compared to the 4 I mentioned.

    Disagree on Higuita. James, Falcao and Asprilla before him. Even Willington Ortiz I'd say.

    I would put Rivaldo ahead of Ronaldinho for Brazil. Best player in their Copa América 1999 win and their best player, along with Ronaldo, in World Cup 2002. Also Romário practically won the World Cup himself in 1994.

    To be honest, I agree with James, but due to him falling off at club level so quickly, I didn't like choosing him. For Colombia though, he's arguably their best.

    The Colombia team of 94, which Valderrama and Higuita were part of, was class and should have done more. 

    There is probably someone better than David Alaba as well. I just couldn't think. Most of the best Austrian players are from before my time. 

  5. England: Bobby Charlton & Bobby Moore

    Scotland: Kenny Dalglish & Denis Law

    Northern Ireland: George Best & Pat Jennings

    Wales: Ryan Giggs & Gareth Bale

    Germany: Frans Beckenbauer & Lother Matthäus

    Netherlands: Johan Cruijff & Marco Van Basten

    Denmark: Peter Schmeichel & Michael Laudrup

    Austria: Hans Krankl & David Alaba

    Romania: Gheorghe Hagi & Gheorghe Popescu

    Sweden: Zlatan Ibrahimovic  & Henrik Larsson

    France: Michel Platini & Zinedine Zidane

    Spain: Xaviniesta & Luis Suárez

    Portugal: Eusebio & C.Ronaldo

    Italy: Paolo Maldini & Franco Baresi

    Croatia: Luka Modric & Davor Suker

    Turkey: Tugay & Hakan Sukur

    USA: Clint Dempsey & Brad Friedel

    México: Rafa Márquez & Hugo Sánchez

    El Salvador: Mágico González

    Argentina: Lionel Messi & Diego Maradona 

    Brazil: Pelé & Zico

    Perú: Teófico Cubillas & Héctor Chumpitaz

    Colombia: Carlos Valderrama & Rene Higuita

    Uruguay: Luis Suárez & Obdulio Varela

    Chile: Alexis Sánchez & Arturo Vidal

    Cameroon: Samuel Eto'o & Roger Milla

    Ivory Coast: Didier Drogba & Yaya Toure

  6. Obviously this is nothing new, but you can clearly see that the street gangs(not Cartels, but the street gangs) in Latin America are largely heavily influenced by USA gang culture. The way they dress, the gang signs, the music, etc. 

    In fact, those clowns in the video, who took hostages live on TV, appear to be a street gang, but are committing a crime with the level of organisation expected from a Cartel. I'm guessing the Cartels have the street gangs working for them.

    Youre being very generous. The English there is definitely worse than in countries like Germany or Scandinavia but I just checked with Spain and the English proficiency is not bad.

    I do agree it's a bunch of countries where it's far easier to know the native language but I don't think it's impossible to get by. In South America on the other hand it definitely is barring Argentina.

    What I'm saying is, even if they can get by, people shouldn't be expected to learn English in the countries mentioned and it should be the other way around.

    Venezuela still on top. The one that surprised me was Colombia, I didn't think they had more than Mexico and Brazil.

    El Salvador, 405 days without a murder apparently.

    Cala Millor in May/June, Slovakia again at some point and also wouldn’t mind somewhere different…. Such as Iceland, for a long weekend.

     

    Didn't you go to Cala Millor last year as well? I remember you saying. Looks nice on that side of Mallorca.

    Great pictures by the way :)

    Fuerteventura is great. Definitely recommended.

    Hippos kill more people than any other animal every year, they'd be my last choice.

    What are we fighting the animals off with? Our fists? If so... uhh I pick living over participating.

    A Tiger would be the worst because if it was to attack you, you wouldn't likely see it first. It would come out of nowhere and attack from behind after stalking you for 20 minutes beforehand. 

    I'd choose the bear, unless it was a polar bear. There is more chance of it leaving you alone. Saying that a Tiger or Croc may only attack when hungry, while a Hippo would kill you just because it thinks you are a cunt.
