I'm slowly falling out of love with football... And it's because of the neverending hyperbolic nature of it. in c/premierleague@soccer.forum

It's also constantly primary school level discussion.

"Who is better, Ronaldo or Messi?"

"Can Haaland/Mbappe/Bellingham get better than Messi?"

"Is this guy overrated?"

Planet has 8B people, every single one of them is a football fan or knows a football fan. They aren't watching Real Madrid or Man City playing each week, many of them are watching a local team nobody's heard of. Many of them volunteer to hang around some no-name club every week to let the kids have some fun.

But no, we need more and more content about the absolute top.

What do you think is the ceiling for someone like Jude Bellingham considering what he is doing for Real Madrid at 20 years old with 15 goals (+ 4 assists) in only 16 games on his very first season? in c/talk@soccer.forum

Dude IS the ceiling. If he doesn't get injured, he's a GOAT candidate. If he does get injured, he'll still be a generational talent, assuming it's not too soon. "Injured" includes both physical and other issues of course, who knows if he decides to burn down his house with fireworks or crashes his fancy car.
