Sergio Ramos at Real ?
Was he not being played out of position alot when he went there?

He was cause at one point Woodgate was still feeling out the team and Salgado was injured and Mejia was also feeling out the team their was one point where our entire line were literally playing with eachother for the 1st time on reg. season games. You could really see it in the way they played and the score of the games during that time.

I know he's good and highly thought of and is mainly a flair player but thats it

Thats just the begining IMO, hes probably the FUTURE of the best. I think VERY highly of him his rookie season 2005 was just crazy. I sware and call me crazy but seeing Franco played reminded me of Ramos. I know I never got to see Franco play live or a complete game but I know of him and I've seen a lot of footage on him.
Ramos is a scorer, if you look at his videos you will most def. see a handful of goals hes very offensive but is never a miss on the defense line.
On corner kicks or free kicks forget it, it's almost a for sure thing Ramos will somehow get to that ball before anyone and score.
Cannavaro had a shakey start with us but hes fell into place now and is really doing he proper job there.
On Sun. we beat Sevilla 3-2 putting us just 3 points behind Barca with 5 games left in the season. It's gonna be close.

To be honest with you Cutme , i don't keep up to date as much as i should with Spanish football ,i know alot of people are big on Puyol and Cannovaro is European Player of the year but it's harder to evaluate a defender from TV its not like watching them live or being familiar with who they're up against !

I see what your saying makes sense, but I mean if you follow the league from the start you'll get a good feel of whats going on and all that....
I try to watch as much footy as time permits most of the time I have to get up at 6:00 am to catch the games live plus I like getting an early start mornings....

John Terry and Rio Ferdinand are my favourite pairing for England i think there is something Special about both , things havn't been going well for this england side but i have a sneaking feeling this is weeding out the good from the bad and John Terry and Rio are always the 1st to stand up and be counted .
Seen John Tery handle so many top defenders yet be much more than just a defender , Rio is a great distributor and winner .

Terry I like, Rios had his moments but IMO he just not stable enough for me. He can have one really good performance and then the very next week he can play like shite!!
(and I'm a United fan ) Rio just doesn't cut it for me. I've seen the other Ferdinand and he looks decent needs some work here and there but looks well.

Are you familiar with Jonothan Woodgate ? He was at Real but had a nightmare with Injury , i was watched him own Theirry Henry and i've always thought if he could just get over his injury he'd be hot on their heels .

Yeah! unfortunately his stay at Real wasn't a good one aside from the injury he and the rest of the line at that time were all having a hard time adjusting.... But I had seen him prior to that and I've seen him after hes def. up there with the best of the lot.

Cutme, whats the story with Mexico ? They should be kicking Arse all round the world it's a question i've asked myself so many times ! They have the population and the passion and whilst they produce the good sides they've not consistently produced great sides like German , Argentina and Italy .

Your guess is as good as mine.
I don't know really I mean the FMF (Mexican League) is a very tough and competative league players like Hugo Sanchez, Butragueno, Negrete, Rafa Marquez, Cabinho, Carlos Perucci, Daniel Brailovski, Oscar Ruggeri, Ivan Zamorano have all played there I mean I just don't know really. The level of playing is great but for some STRANGE reason once the cup comes they just fall short. A lot of people REALLY belive Hugo Sanchez being the coach now is really gonna work out and the expectations are as high as ever. Hes (Hugo) already talked the talk now he has to walk the walk.
We'll see how that goes.

I'm just waiting for the day the USA and Mexico really come of age on the world Scene , America always give a great account of themselves and Meixco nearly always give a good account .

It'll come but god knows when, IMO I think Mexico has performed slightly better overall then the USA but it goes without saying that untill either side wins it or at least take 2nd or 3rd neither one can say bad about the other.

Hope the MSL get serious it'll take time andit wont happen overnight.
1 thing Cutme, i don't thik MSL being played in massive stadiums with only a few people watching will do it any favours financially or growth wise .
Football isabout Passion , its much better to have people crammed on the terraces than having football played in those huge Bowls designed for American Football .

It'll take time I agree, but theres soooo many intangibles.....

Whats your take on the MSL ? Is it gonna take off and get serious or just export it's talent ?

Money, money, money....
Untill the MLS either increases the salary cap on teams it wont go anywhere.
The players will cpntinue to leave and IMO theres no way the league and or the USA team will develop that way. Check this thread out..
