Off topic, can i just ask if Cardiff stadium is all fine and dandy (which appears the case) why the fuck are the FA cup semis held at bloody Wembley? o_O


Oooooh now that's a goal! (clearly my fault again!) :p



They hold the semi's at Wembley to help pay for the stadium. Or that was the original reason anyway.

How many absolute world class players have gone on to be successful managers?

I can only think of two. Cryuff and Zidane.

Its because he is a machine. Football hipsters want their players to be "sexy" and silky. Ronaldo is like the polar opposite to this. He is ruthless and efficient. He trains hard 100% of the time and he is a winner, losing is not an option.

IMO Ronaldo will leave a greater legacy in the game than Messi when the dust has settled and the whole reason we see players like Kane now is up and coming players are starting to copy his lifestyle and work ethic.

He's basically the football version of Kobe Bryant and long may it continue.
