Is this the worst generation of young players in the last 25

You forgot Bellerin.

One of the best right backs in world football. Only 21.

>>73969599
>Who do we have right now that even come close that crop?
Harry Kane
Dele Alli
Eric Dier
Harry Winks

>>73969614
>Le white pacey nigger that lacks sense of space man

>>73969619
Those players in the same discussion as Ronaldo, Iniesta, Cesc Rooney, Messi, Torres, Aguero

>kek

maybe it's just harder for younger players to shine today for some reason.
maybe it is true that 2007's u-23 XI could easily beat todays u-23 XI but maybe 2027s u-23 XI could easily beat 2007s best. maybe it's a cyclical thing.

It is weird how this decade hasn't produced a GOAT tier talent yet.

The 2000s produced Messi/C.Ronaldo, the 90s Ronaldo/Zidane, 80s Maradona/Platini, 70s Cruyff/Beckenbauer, 60s Pele/Eusebio etc.

Currently there's nobody who looks like they could enter that bracket. Dybala is probably the best of the bunch, and he's not even that good.

That is why you fail, Britbong

>Dele Ali and Kane are unironically the best young players in the world atm

>>73969691
I guess the best players who will have their prime in 2010-2020 are Bale, Griezmann, Hazard?
They could at least end up with better careers than Torres, Fabregas, Aguero imo

>>73969599
Likely for the same reason that Brazil is shit now. Athleticism, endurance are prioritized over skill at the youth level all over the globe. This is because coaches and parents want their kid to be part of a winning side, rather than one that focuses on nurturing talent at the expense of some bullshit regional tourney.

>>73969753
Holy shit, what's a leaf doing making an elite post?

Too many black pacy wingers with no footballing brain being prioritized.

>>73969753
first leaf post on fourchandotcom i've ever agreed with

+1

>>73969753

I work at a sports centre and this is so true about the parents and coaches only caring about winning. I overheard a coach telling his side they we're a fucking embarrassment after losing a game. It was an under 9 game.

I really dunno why I thought he was like 28 yo

>>73970244
>you're a delusional nostalgiababby

Just look at the accolades and honestly look at 2017's crop.

>Iniesta
Beginning of the goat midfield trio of Xavi, Bus and him

>Torres
Best first season from foreign striker in premier league

>Ronaldo
Ballon D'or, 42 goal season

>Wayne Rooney
Already the best English player, won PL, CL. Already one of England's top scorers.

>Messi
Argentina's best player
Barca's best player
Just about to become goal machine

>Fabregas
Best midfielder in premier league
Captain of Arsenal

>Aguero
One of Argentina's best players
Best Argentine striker
Scored 27 goals in spanish season at 18 years old.


Compare any of these to the current crop.

Nothing to do with nostalgia

>>73969599
Wtf happened to quality full-backs as well? There's literally NONE at the moment

>R Carlos, Cafu, Ashley Cole, Maldini, Zanetti, Nevs, Zambrotta, Evra, Lahm, Cannavaro, Maicon, Sagnol etc are all a distant memory

>>73969614

>le repeat myself because no one thinks I'm funny man

>>73970290
>Who are Bellerin, Rose, Alba, Caraval, Gunter, Walker, Zabaleta, Evra

>>73970329
Evra and Zabaleta are too old.

The other players are memes and nothing more.

Especially Bellerin.

>>73970329
Caraval is the only full back who could be considered '"good" in that list.

Evra was amazing but he is past it.

>>73970289

BREAKING NEWS!

World Class players near the end of their careers have won more than the current most promising young players in world football.

We'll bring you more on this story as it develops...

can't relate
Italy's enjoying the best generation of upcoming talents since the late 70s generation
God bless the 90s, 5th Cup soon

>>73969753
Not true for Germany though. And Germany has a whole bunch of promising players.

could be the younger generation figured out what a faggot sport soccer is

or the games are still fixed and they set it up so the aging stars are money makers

soccer is a dying sport. only the poor and cucked countries love it

Name one country that isn't poor as shit or cucked by foreigners that loves soccer.

list of poor or cucked countries
>south America
>central America
>most of western Europe or the New European caliph as they call it
>Africa

alright there's your challenge

>>73970367

Great post. When will you be appearing on Match of The Day pal?

>>73970362
reminder that contrary le 1000 goals against fishermen claim no african team achieved anything ever

>>73970367
China

>>73970358
Are you a fucking dunce?

Those are accolades that these players achieved WHILE they were under the age of 22.

You don't watch football.

>>73970367
I think you spelled /pol/ wrong

anyways

Noncucked or nonpoor soccer loving countries

>>73970367

Italy? Germany?

I feel like any country we say you'll just come back with "lel cucked"

>>73970387
oh median income is the deal?
Japan then? or South Korea?
or what, EAU? Qatar? Montecarlo?

>>73970395
literal who

>>73970367
Japan I guess.

The list of rich countries with barely any immigrants is extremely low in itself.

You're basically looking at Japan and South Korea and they both love football with it becoming the #1 sport overtaking baseball recently in Japan

>>73970405
well when you let droves of foreigners who have a high percentage of extremist who tend to riot or commit terrorist attacks while they drain your social systems dry....
you're a cuck country

>>73970406
baseball, sumo wrestling and some form of martial arts are bigger

same basically with south korea

arab countries? you realize like 99.99% of those people live off less than 10,000 a year

come on guys

>>73970367
t. 56%

>>73970442
See everyone is digging.

Yes there are 2 outliers to the trend I won't give them away though

But almost every soccer is clear cut number 1 nation in the world is filled with poor people or is being filled with poor violent people...

Maybe that says something about the country or the sport

hmm

hhmmmm.

>>73970462
Wow m8 I've think you've figured out most of the world is poor and those poor people move to countries that aren't poor.

Who says Americans are ignorant. They should listen to this guy who gets neurons working overtime.

>>73970442
so the US is a cuck country as well?

Unless you watch all 4 leagues, don't complain about no new players. There are young players out there, you just have to find them

>>73970509

This.

If the best young players were easy to find Chelsea would have signed them all by now and sent them out on loan to Holland.

>>73969599
>Wayne Rooney
People should have realized this is a bait thread at this point.

I don't even read the rest of what you guys have to say, this name makes all of it invalid.

I'm inclined not to trust the judgment of an Engishman who tabs two of his countrymen as the only good young players in the sport.

Maybe it'll take a World Cup to drive the point home.

>>73970381
Yeah and Harry Kane is a three season wonder
Dele Alli is a two season wonder

Okay so they're not Messi/Ronaldo tier (Bale was 21 when he ripped Inter Milan in 2010) but no were arbitrarily picking 2017 vs 2007.

Didn't Torres come the prem in 2008? Can't pick him. Iniesta was just reaching first team for Barcelona, and nobody rated him until the euros anyway. Can't pick him. Can't pick Aguero since nobody fucking heard of him.

>Rooney
Oh lawd. Tbf he is Harry Kane level.

Shit list. Comparing Ronaldo to Bale would be a better thread.

>>73970367
The United States is the most cucked country. 50% white including Hispanics

Hispanics hated Trump and California was so cucked he lost the popular vote due to that one state. You don't just get Mexicans, its all south Americans coming to your country. This isn't even including your history of slaves from Africa, your ever increasing Muslim Arabic and Indian population, your philipinos, east Asians, (Korea Japan China) I mean shiiiiit, even New England is mostly Irish.

Also, American porn sites almost inevitably turn to interracial. Nubiles, team skeet, brazzers, bang bros etc. Every now and then I keep seeing interracial. And I don't mean Asians. Its like you want to ruin what good women you have left.

>>73970399
The USA is literally like 25% white you cuck

>>73969599
Bait could have been slightly more subtle

6/10 nonetheless.

Do you realize how stupid you sound when you say that?

>>73970614
>>73970591
it's about 10% white when you deduce all the """whites""" that have bbc ancestors from slavery times

>>73970614
If you're the poster I replied to earlier, I was using his words against him.

It is a stupid word though.

>>73970614

>>73970614
>>73970691
How is it any stupider than any other insult? It's a pretty good dig at someone's masculinity

I agree that Reddit has run it into the ground lately though

>>73970685
And the Pocahontas rape babies aren't white either or they'd have to include Mexicans.

Honestly its like 5% white including Irish and Mediterranean

>>73969691
What's weird is that you talk about GOAT talent but only mention strikers and wingers. Offense has gotten much better and more refined, so people pretend this means that defenders have gotten worse, but that isn't true.

>Jew
>white

Weird how people always romanticise past good players as being on this unattainable elite level

Literally only Messi and Ronaldo stand out amongst the rest and maybe Suarez.

>>73970730
It makes sense as a metaphor when you think about the cuckoo bird's mating habits and relate that to some of our current immigration policies. Although strictly speaking the "cuck" would be the immigrant and the "cucked" would be the native, because it's the cuckoo bird that is the predator/parasite, not the victim

There are a lot of young blacks in Bundesliga to look at

>>73970289

he scored 6 goals

Next decade is gonna be awful

>>73969753
Continental Europe and South America doesn't do this

There is simply too much money in the sport now, which means as soon as a player gets to a club or position in which, if they maintained trajectory, they would become elite, they realise they are a fucking millionaire and stop trying.

Winning a trophy doesn't mean much when you won life at 18.

>>73969599
Dybala and Icardi are both better than Kane

>>73971407

Questionable

>>73971477
>serie a

lmao

No-one really gave a shit about Torres, Aguero or Iniesta back then.

>>73969599

To be fair Lukaku scored 17 Premier League goals when he was 17 years old.

Scored 25 in all comps last season, 20 in the one before and he is just 23 years old right now.

>>73969691
Nerman
Bayol
Hazard
Greaseman
Rodriguez
Varane
Gimenez
Icardi
unironically le dabbing black man

>>73971594
It seems highly unlikely that any of those will ever be thought of as greats

Maybe bale if he goats it up after penaldo retires

>>73969753

>tfw a leaf, of all people, makes a valid point that actually addresses the topic.

Have we been, dare I say, /wrong/ about them this entire time?

Neymar has already been christened as that, sadly. All those Hue-League goals.

>>73970289
AT THE TIME THOUGH

>Iniesta
playing the whole season because Xavi is Inured, won a league, that's about it, handful of Spain caps
So had Koke at the same age
>Torres
Scored 19 in a season, at a peak, not won a title, Athleti's captain, but they've been shit for years
>Ronaldo
finally scoring more than ten goals in a season looks like maybe the 13 mil United paid for him looks worth it, but still has a tendency to fanny about dribbling instead of playing passes

My point is at the time players like this had accomplished little, but the ones you picked out had great careers
But the Champions league still occurs every season and international tournaments every four, somebody has to win them
the current crop of players aren't close to these legends because they haven't had the career yet you dingus
you can only guess, just like 2007 you wouldn't know whether Iniesta or some other no name Barcelona academy reject is going to be the next big thing
