1) Champions League Group Stage is rubbish and all former European cup competitions had a better format than the crap we see now.
2) European League, European Superleague or whatever you want to call it is inevitable.
3) World Cup Wins are fucking meaningless.
4) The greatest football player of the 90ies was by far Roberto Baggio.
5) National Team football is emotionally nice but from a quality perspective a waste of time and meaningless.
6) Nation states as constructed from the 19th century onwards are a big reason for our misery and a fucking piece of crap idea, that will hopefully die in 100-200 years as a terrible idea.
Oh sorry, it was supposed to be football only. Well...

The 48 team World Cup will destroy the World Cup as we know it. It will never be the same.
Champions League group stage is just an excuse for bigger teams to beat the shit out of some badbakht poor teams and then get serious in the QF stage.
The 32 team World Cup is more competitive than 24 team Euro Cup.

Yes, they have been pushing for this monstrosity since 99 at least, no?
Each individual game? or the whole tournament?
Jimbo, is that you???
Honorable mention for Bergkamp. I'm being nostaglic, but damn he was beautiful. Why did he fail in Italy?
I find the quality actually decreases once the bigger teams are left standing, simply because they're afraid of losing. World CUp 2014 was a good example of this (except for Brazil, lol).
World Cup 1998 was peak of quality for me. I know our more experienced members will say 82 and 86.
My father still says 1970!
For Europe (especially the East) I'd agree.

48 team WC and 24 team Euro is utterly a shitty idea and will prove to be very shitty with the number of low quality games we see. Already in the 32 team WC there are some shitty games but not to the extend of adding 50% more teams to the competition. Mathematically and quality wise will be shit.
Iranian players will always have a weak mentality despite who is the leader. CQ has done a great job and I love him but you see how they fold under pressure and in their clubs. This will always remain.
Beiranvand will become a legend!!! That's my wishful thinking trying to change his shit form!
Valderamma in my opinion is one of the best passers ever. I would put him top 3!

Whole tournament. 4 weeks, every 4 years, totally meaningless crap
Not his football. Same for Laudrup. Neither really Baggio’s.
My favorite World Cup is 90 but it was rubbish. But I will always say it was the best tournament. Why? Nostalgia! Nostalgia is rubbish.
Why Europe? Look at Africa and the crap they call borders and nations. Or Middle East.

1. There are not many world class players (great stars) today compared to the 90's/early 2000.
2. If Messi and C. Ronaldo in their form and strength they've been during the past few years, played back in the 90's / early 2000, they would only be yet 2 other great players. They wouldn't have had dominated the world football as they do now.
3. Ronaldinho in his top form was the best football player to ever walk the earth. No one has been able to beat him yet. The words, alien or non-human was never best suited someone than when used to describe his skills.

Salary cap in football is a must. Rich clubs are ruining the spirit of competition and the beautiful game.
Fifa should be exactly like NFL. Remote referees and video technology, coach's challenge, 2 times 1 minute time outs per team per half.
No more than 3 non-native players in each club.
No offside calls after the lineman's flag goes up, unless its 100% obvious. Let the video technology confirm.
