Match Compilations

Needed some break from the frauds so here is a pinch of Rome Magic :drool:
 


Very good game from the fraud IIRC as its been a while since i made the vid, Arnau gifted him the goal but overall game was pretty good and he only had one brainfart at the back.
 


Probably my favorite project since Gazza. Not really the type to fall in love in a fullback but sweet lord how can you not? So different to most fullbacks of that era, pretty much a modern defender moved back in time, shame he is pretty much forgotten, reckon a win against either Real in European Cup Final or Soviets in Euro Final would catapult some of those gems(Sekularac, Galic, Skoblar) deep into all time waters.
 
I was reading an old thread on another football forum earlier about bundesliga average kicker ratings for 60s-80s and noticed Jusufi was high in the fullbacks section (i'd forgotten he even played in Germany). Seems like most of the Yugoslav players that moved to W.Germany in 60s/70s did well there. Zebec was really highly rated as a manager too.

2.05 Vogts
2.33 Briegel
2.42 Dietz
2.44 Höttges
2.46 Reuter
2.47 Kaltz
2.48 Jusufi
2.48 Saida
2.50 Bleidick
2.51 Heidemann
 


first time ever went to check the result before picking a game, of course the Gods punished me with a game where he got injured in the first half! Looked class in the period he did play! @Jim Beam
 


closest thing to a DM performance i saw.....defensive wise not that good, partly at fault for 2 goals but looked much more composed on the ball and his passing was much more accurate.
 


rankings that year(most years tbf) were absolute travesty, how Papin won when he got schooled by Belodedici in the final while being a big favorite is beyond me...and funnily enough, that isnt the funniest thing, Pancev finished in top 3!
 


prosinecki in this era having a bad game, collectors item....still grabbed an assist though.
 


England playing weird 4312 with Scholes as n10, fair to say it didnt work....
 
Some other Germany vs Netherlands stuff with Olaf Thon getting his ankles brutalised by Netherlands during a vital WC qualifier; these 70s/80s between the two countries were always really heated. The 89/90 season he would suffer injuries that would become recurring, derailing his trajectory and consistency, but in this 88/89 game (in the midst of a great first season at Bayern) you can see some of why he was considered a great young talent in his Schalke years and one of the very best players in West Germany at the time.

 


@Invictus
sooooo good, reminds me a lot of Scholes, both in style of play(even "poor" tackling) and in career trajectory in terms of playing roles.
 
:drool:
 


watching the game and thinking how Figo isnt doing much and then he destroys Mauro Silva!
 


Heard a lot of talk, Del Piero was this, Del Piero was that before injury but never really saw it in games i watched.....until now. Tbf he was always a joy to watch but different class this game....defended well, hold up play was good, was creative and scored a winner against a pretty decent River side with old Francescoli and young Sorin, Salas, Ortega and Julio Cruz-
