Look, stop it. You can't compare mindless action blockbusters to "arty" cinema. It’s a false equivalence. One is built to rake in massive amounts of cash, while the other is supposedly "better" filmmaking—which usually just means they're boring. When I sat down in the theater to watch SWAT, there wasn't a single chance I could fall asleep because the whole thing was loud as hell. 😁

Let me be clear... I love blockbusters...😉

Eeeej, I sat through Bad Boys II last night. It’s absolute chaos compared to Godzilla. That Lizard (and even the military) isn't even half as destructive as Will Smith making a mess of the city. 😁

for me, one of the most cringeworthy moments was during the Euro final when, right after Wiltord scored, he stormed over to the Italian bench—where the whole squad was huddled together—and basically told them to shut up and sit down because the game wasn't over yet... which is funny, because we all know Henry was practically invisible in that final.

What's the big deal? It’s a high-stakes game. Emotions run hot. I thought you were going to say he spat on someone or threw a punch...

frozencobra69 said:Look, I’m not arguing with the guy's talent. Thierry Henry was gifted. But I would never call him because he's arrogant... and just doesn't play fair.

Besides, when did Henry actually score a clutch goal? A real game-changer?

Never, man. Just like Del Piero. Both losers...

Unlike Trezequet... (who basically saved the whole thing with that golden goal...)

Yeah, right... Like Henry achieved absolutely nothing in his career. Aside from winning the World Cup and the Euro, plus those titles with Monaco and Arsenal... yeah, totally nothing. A clutch goal? I guess we could pick that one against Portugal in the Euro... if we really have to dig through the pile of goals he scored. Personally, I think Cristiano Ronaldo is better, but that comment about "not even calling him to the national team" tells you everything you need to know...

Arrogance and unsportsmanlike behavior? When and where? 😕

frozencobra69 said:well, that's like your opinion man..

Trezeguet and Djibril Cissé are better than Thierry Henry in my book. Henry just doesn't have the guts.
Ludovic Rothen is a hundred times better than Robert Pires.
Dacourt beats Patrick Vieira any day.

Not sure why you feel that way, but France can put together three heavy hitters... really strong ones...

Does anyone have Santini's email so we can send this over ASAP? Based on her tactics, the French wouldn't stand a chance against the US. Maybe Santini is crazy enough to actually listen to her, you never know...

Henry lacks guts? Maybe. Who knows. I've never checked his pants, nor do I want to. You might have, being a woman... But for us, the bottom line is he's got two legs and they're fast. Plus, his right foot is deadly accurate.

And yeah, France is strong, but only if Zinedine Zidane is ready to go. That's a proven fact. Ludovic Rothen can barely fill those shoes.

She wouldn't call up Henry... That would be like the '86 Argentine coach leaving out Diego Maradona. Or the '94 Italian squad ignoring Roberto Baggio... Jeffrey Watson2, change your signature, this is even more ridiculous! 😁

frozencobra69 said:What's so weird about it? I just can't stand Arsenal, mostly because of how arrogant Thierry Henry is, plus I can't stand that slippery Robert Pires or Vieira's build. They're French. Aside from those three, I actually like most other French players... I like the French league and France itself as a country (I've visited there plenty of times).

I honestly don't get it.

So, you love French football, but you hate three of their four best players. Makes perfect sense...

frozencobra69 said:I’m pulling for Marseille. I just love France, the French people, and French football... (except for the guys playing for Arsenal FC).

That’s probably the biggest load of nonsense I’ve heard in a long time.

Honestly, I couldn't care less, but I'm still not casting my vote for anyone.

frozeneagle49 said:Yeah, Beckham is basically the hottest guy on the planet right now!!!!!!

Anyway, Beckham's leaving Real Madrid, and Real just lost 0-2, wheeeeeeeeee

Please. This English "savior" didn't even bring home any trophies. Honestly, thinking about all those debates over how good he actually was makes me want to gag...

Arsenal is sitting at 0-0 today... Are they trying to ruin their reputation? At this rate, they might as well just give up before the whistle blows. I really wanted them to stay undefeated, but they’re already screwing it up...

Nah, there’s a fourth one too. I know because I've sat through all four. They're top-tier. Easily some of the best horror movies out there. Just pure terror—the soundtrack absolutely wrecks you...

I know, I’ve seen them. Most of his Blockbusters, actually—I even have them on VHS.

You're way too young to actually remember football from back then, yet here you are acting like an expert on stuff you clearly don't understand.
Scott Collins30 already brought up two players, so I'll throw Spasić from the Chicago Bulls into the mix—guy was famous for more than just own goals; he specialized in basically breaking people's hips. 😁

Even I—an extremist from the opposite side of this forum, the absolute king of being contrarian—have come to the conclusion that Sheva is just talking nonsense. He isn't funny, he isn't smart. He's completely useless.

Yeah, sure. If I had a flying Ford, maybe I could take you back in time so some defender could just snap your leg...

Let me break it down for you. It's a play on words. Read it like this:
Some guys are just a little better, while others are way better. Get it now? 👋

Yeah... and some are just Johnny Banana. 😛

restlesssurfer97 said:Some are slightly better, some are way better, but honestly, most of them are just better.😂

What kind of stupid wordplay is that even supposed to be? Saying "I'm black, I'm white" is like saying😁

Well, well, well. This is some serious 180-degree turn, kind of like watching a sudden shift in DC politics. Suddenly, everyone’s my best friend... 🙄

copperpuma96 said:Of course they aren't there. Defenses are 1500 times stronger now and players are in way better shape. Put Ronaldinho in that era and see how much havoc he would wreak.

The players were just way worse back then...

If you had actually followed AC Milan from 2002 to 2004, you’d realize the Michael Jordan era was basically defined by defensive butchers. Honestly, the '80s might have been the absolute worst period for the sport, and he was the only one who saved it. If playing was ever actually hard, it was then.

Susan Rogers86 said:He’s got the charisma, the talent, the looks, and the charm... all rolled into one package.

If that's the metric, then Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is basically untouchable.

Back when I was visiting the States, he was still serving as Governor, and he even made an appearance as a referee at WrestleMania. Once a wrestler, always a wrestler...😁

I can play just about any spot on the field, but I’m always looking to push forward. I know how to find the back of the net, though some days I just can't buy a goal to save my life. I'm pretty lean, but my technique carries me through. There might be a few better players on this forum, but honestly, I doubt it. 😁 🙂
