Tell me you never played football without telling me you never played football. To even suggest that Mancini or Zola were nearly as good as Baggio was is hilarious.
I was born in '83 and even though I'm Arsenal I watched Serie A religiously because all my favourite players were there, AC Milan was my favourite team because of Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, Baresi etc. Roberto Baggio was one of my favourite players, I'll never forget when he hit the crossbar in the 94 world cup. The difference between Baggio, Mancini and Zola is negligible, each if them has their own strengths and weaknesses but overall they're at the genius level. Picking one over the other is just a difference in taste, like the difference between flavours of gelato. It's like that with all the very top players there's no real gap between them. If you had 22 of the best ever players and made them play a 11v11 you can be pretty sure the difference between them will be luck, that's why footballers are so superstitious. Sometimes the margins are so fine they don't even exist and all it takes it that bit of luck to win.
@@jc6087 Baggio was a top 10-5 player in the world for 5-6 years (1989-1994) and was the best player of his national side during the same period. He averaged a goal every two games as a starter both for club and country despite never playing as a striker. His highlights as a Fiorentina player by itself is better than career highlights for Zola and Mancini. Zola and Mancini on the other hand never became regulars for Italy because simply they were second tier stars. They couldn't deliver at the highest level. This is why no real European giant tried to sign them. You got to differentiate between a player who can be great against any type of opponent and one who can be great against particular opponents.

Well in the 4-3-3 they played 6 midfielders. Xavi busquests xabi iniesta fabregas and Silva. So only logical answer is yamal for Silva cuz Nico is not coming in for iniesta. Even though Silva is a legend he would be the one dropped if it ever came to that. He is not comparing him but rather just saying he is the only one who has a shout. It's not fair to compare yamal to Silva. He is 21 years younger than Silva and his career has just started. Understand the nuance my friend.

Why don't they say if Liverpool will win the League, as they used to say for Manchester United! such a double standard and stupid thing 😂 ESPN FC is a JOKE 😅
Baggio over everyone of them. Mancini was good but, yes, he didnt always produced. Hence always remain at Sampdoria. Almost an Italian version of Matt Le tisser. But if you remember Baggio from Juve days, hes in a different class.
Pathetic that these pundits do not know how FIFA rankings come up. Its by points gained and lost during friendlies and tournaments. How do expect Belgium that couldn't make it out of round of 16 be above Brazil. They both lost.
It is far to premature to say as all teams are going to do a lot of buying and selling until August 30 at 11pm to be precise, when the transfer window closes, until then we can not make any realistic prediction on how certain teams will do so it is pointless speculating right now. If City remains largely intact, they should be favourites to win the Premier League again, realistically speaking.
Shaka's world 🌎 rankings do (at 3:38) are based more on recent performance than the official FIFA ones. I still think France should be higher on his rankings though because they would probably beat most teams he has above them. Also, Brazil 🇧🇷 would probably beat Switzerland and Canada for example. However, the FIFA world rankings are based on points acquired during the last couple of years (I'm not sure exactly how many years it goes back). This is why we still see Belgium high because they still qualify for tournaments. Italy must still be in the top 10 due to their Euro 2020 win.
The word curry is a British invention for one. Most of India is vegetarian through the Hindu traditions. So meat with a gravy wasn’t a thing.

It normally goes pete tong after a long term winning manager leave Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger come to mind , so now Klopp has gone Slot has a lot to do
Silva was a great player but Yamal is more talented. Yamal has generational, multiple Ballon d'Or talent. Silva, while terrific in his prime, didn't have that kind of upside.
@@clartigue10 Yamal is miles better than Fati ever was. He was already one of the best and most productive (goals and assists) players of a major international tournament. Obviously he doesn't have the accomplishments of a David Silva yet but in terms of pure talent he's in a tier above.
@@PaulRichardson4678 these are the same comments we were getting four years ago about Fati, and now all these people are seers again and know for sure this one is different and the one- I hope they’re right, but to say he HAS x and y that he hasn’t shown us yet is unfair to him and any conversation about him. The kid had some good games and a good euros, let’s not make him another Renato Sanchez
Clearly in phase 2, Spurs and Man City should be title favourites now Postecoglou can settle for his 2nd season. Liverpool without Klopp will become Gerrard's Liverpool title losing experts and Arsenal will cement their annual runner-up status. Chelsea will also push the Top 4 but depends how the PL treats their transfers.
I support Liverpool and am not at all convinced by Slot or the new backroom staff. Made worse by the fact that the club are 'undecided' about whether to release footage of a behind closed doors game being played. Doesn't take a genius to know why. Either the club or Slot himself are scared about the reaction if it doesn't go well. Saying that though Chelsea also look to have an underwhelming manager, ETH has bombed in the league, so 3rd and 4th place are up for grabs.
Huh??? Slot hasn't even *met* like 75% of his most important players because they were at summer tournaments. Team haven't even played 1 friendly. Goodness gracious, give your head a wobble. 🥴
25 players used. First time out. Lots of juniors and fringe players. Personally, not reading much into this free pass. We will know more with the 3 games coming into focus.
@@Fobbie498 It was more the fact they didn't want the footage released, highlights have now gone up but there's no way that would have happened under Klopp. For the club to say they were undecided about showing the match just strikes me as Slot running scared. But yes if we beat MU and Arsenal who will have a hugely under strength squad then that might ease some fears.
Dude liverpool play mostly kids in these friendlies. Only Salah, and dom will play that too for half time. You're a reactionary social media football fan@@nonnayoubuzinnes1669
Liverpool will be top 3 again this season easily..usual tripe pre season from the "experts"...they will make 2 /3 smart additions as always before window shuts and be right up there once season settles in..the new manager is a class act..
Who is "Kloop"? Alex Ferguson was there way longer and didn't have Man City to contend with either. Klopp racked up way more points in a season than Ferguson ever did. Klopp is actually a better manager than Ferguson, the league was far less competitive during Ferguson's heyday, plus he had all the refs in his pocket.
@@Fractalchemystical you must be stupid. cuz United had to compete with prime Arsenal, prime chelsea, (improving liverpool towards late 2000). And an unpredictable city from 2010-13 for titles.

@@amrm612 ye but the way the breased past spurs, united and chelsea with a brand new midfield was easy. You do know man city tried to win the league cup too lol. Go on try again. Troll harder.

Liverpool without Klopp will become Gerrard's title losing failures and Arsenal will cement their annual runner-up. Chelsea will also push the Top 4 but depends how the PL makes up stuff to keep them down as always
The question of every season as if the top aim for the club is to finish in top four, answer is maybe but what certain is that City will win the PL next season!
Will the expectation and pressure be as strong on Slot as on Arteta? Nope!!! It’s a “transitional season” with someone who hasn’t coached a minute in England but Liverpool should be challenging for the League. Not saying or expecting they will it. As for top four, it should be City, Arsenal and Liverpool, not necessarily in that particular order. Chelsea and United should be more cohesive than last season but that’s not saying much. Newcastle? Nah. Aston Villa should be more nervous about them.
Liverpool can only finish in the top 4 if they sort out a defence that lets in the first goal in too many games! I don’t feel Slot has the tactical know how of Klopp. Klopp made the right substitutions to get Liverpool out the jam and win games. That’s the only way Liverpool can compete with City’s money and squad of 20 world class players.
Does anyone know the reason that Dan Thomas hosts more shows than Kay Murray? It’s pretty obvious who the better host is, I think it’s time for ESPN to make the call to give her more air time and make Dan the sub or maybe put him on back room duties.
@@danielsultimaterockmetal9363 I hear you to be honest. Dan is annoying but he does have sharper wit than Kay or Seb. He makes me laugh even though he also annoys me. Kay is a good stand in but she doesn't make me laugh as much as Dan. Each to their own, I guess.
Can’t believe gab said he prefers Rodri this is what I talk about whenever you’re retire or not playing at your highest level people forget how good you are I mean even fabregas said it no one from this team would get in no one Rodri can’t lace Busquet boots bro
Your delusional. Rodri does everything busquets did plus score goals, big goals. Busquets had a very short prime. His last 5 or 6 years he was very mediocre.
You are talking nonsense. FSG has spent enough money for Liverpool to win every trophy out there in last 10 years. What the f**k are you talking about? There is no another team in England besides Man City who has won more trophies in last 10 years than Liverpool. You just like talking trash, don't you? If you don't have nothing good to say it's better not to say anything, because your meaningless comments don't mean s**t. Garbage.👎
As a Liverpool fan I doubt it. Once again we are being dominated in the transfer market by half a dozen clubs only this time we don’t have one of the best managers ever to make it work.
@@jimmelton5846 Of course e doesn't have Klopp's pull. But he still has Salah, Van dijk, Diaz, Szobozzlai, Trent, Allisson, Gakpo, Jota, Mac Allister, Robertson, Gravenberch and a bunch of top class players to work with. So he has a top 4 squad, he just needs a lot of money to keep up with everyone else
@@SonnyK248 Yeh, but how many of those will be looking for an exit if Slot has an unsuccessful first season? All if and buts yet I feel Liverpool are a way off City and Arsenal and they do have a draw at this time. This may not be Fergie/Utd levels but don't be surprised if Liverpool have their struggles this season.
@@SonnyK248 yes, as mentioned. We shall see how important to the team Klopp actually was. Scary prospect after the success he had but Slot could be the 2nd coming of Pep, so who knows?

@@lwandilentaphane5719 You're utterly clueless. It's not even that difficult to tell Busquets was technically miles ahead of Rodri. The guy was more skillful under pressure than De Bruyne and Rodri combined.

Spain 2008-2012 had better players but current Spain team better balance. The old Spain team was just pass pass pass but now Williams and Yamal have pace and dynamism. Will be better to judge in a few years when wingers with the young players

No Klopp = No party
Baggio over everyone of them. Mancini was good but, yes, he didnt always produced. Hence always remain at Sampdoria. Almost an Italian version of Matt Le tisser. But if you remember Baggio from Juve days, hes in a different class.
Gabs wants to work for Italian FA
Pathetic that these pundits do not know how FIFA rankings come up. Its by points gained and lost during friendlies and tournaments.
How do expect Belgium that couldn't make it out of round of 16 be above Brazil. They both lost.
It is far to premature to say as all teams are going to do a lot of buying and selling until August 30 at 11pm to be precise, when the transfer window closes, until then we can not make any realistic prediction on how certain teams will do so it is pointless speculating right now. If City remains largely intact, they should be favourites to win the Premier League again, realistically speaking.
Shaka's world 🌎 rankings do (at 3:38) are based more on recent performance than the official FIFA ones. I still think France should be higher on his rankings though because they would probably beat most teams he has above them. Also, Brazil 🇧🇷 would probably beat Switzerland and Canada for example.
However, the FIFA world rankings are based on points acquired during the last couple of years (I'm not sure exactly how many years it goes back). This is why we still see Belgium high because they still qualify for tournaments. Italy must still be in the top 10 due to their Euro 2020 win.
Shaka putting Canada at number 9 on the power rankings is beyond delusional
Shaka is on the power rankings for most deluded pundit. Top 3 easily.
Scotland are not better than the US… Scotland don’t have a Balogun.. a Pulisic. Robertson is elite and McTominay can score goals but…
Actually most of the popular Indian curries were developed in the UK, not India.
note: by an Indian in UK
The word curry is a British invention for one. Most of India is vegetarian through the Hindu traditions. So meat with a gravy wasn’t a thing. Curry belongs to us brother if you are a Brit from Indian descent. That doesn’t mean India doesn’t have fantastic food probably better than ours in many dishes. But curry is ours. 😂
@@HdHd-hp6qz Ill also like to point out that curry word comes from "Kari" tree, which leaves are used as spice in India.
@ prakrit8284 I’ve heard something different as the origins of the word curry. Which is meant as having food in a (hurry) something that doesn’t take long to cook like a stew.
@@HdHd-hp6qz wrong cuz then i wonder why fast food doesn't have Indian curries.
Shakas algorithm sucks!! Power rankings is still a top 2 segment of the show,only behind extra time😂
It normally goes pete tong after a long term winning manager leave Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger come to mind , so now Klopp has gone Slot has a lot to do
The disrespect to David Silva… every day Gab demonstrates he shouldn’t have this job
Silva was a great player but Yamal is more talented. Yamal has generational, multiple Ballon d'Or talent. Silva, while terrific in his prime, didn't have that kind of upside.
@@zalemdreams no, Yamal MIGHT have that talent. Right now he’s still a kid who’s shown about as much as Ansu Fati; don’t lose perspective.
@@clartigue10 Yamal is miles better than Fati ever was. He was already one of the best and most productive (goals and assists) players of a major international tournament. Obviously he doesn't have the accomplishments of a David Silva yet but in terms of pure talent he's in a tier above.
I know lol. Yamal may have a high ceiling but no way in this universe is he better than Silva
@@PaulRichardson4678 these are the same comments we were getting four years ago about Fati, and now all these people are seers again and know for sure this one is different and the one- I hope they’re right, but to say he HAS x and y that he hasn’t shown us yet is unfair to him and any conversation about him. The kid had some good games and a good euros, let’s not make him another Renato Sanchez
Clearly in phase 2, Spurs and Man City should be title favourites now Postecoglou can settle for his 2nd season. Liverpool without Klopp will become Gerrard's Liverpool title losing experts and Arsenal will cement their annual runner-up status. Chelsea will also push the Top 4 but depends how the PL treats their transfers.
I support Liverpool and am not at all convinced by Slot or the new backroom staff. Made worse by the fact that the club are 'undecided' about whether to release footage of a behind closed doors game being played. Doesn't take a genius to know why. Either the club or Slot himself are scared about the reaction if it doesn't go well. Saying that though Chelsea also look to have an underwhelming manager, ETH has bombed in the league, so 3rd and 4th place are up for grabs.
Huh??? Slot hasn't even *met* like 75% of his most important players because they were at summer tournaments. Team haven't even played 1 friendly. Goodness gracious, give your head a wobble. 🥴
25 players used. First time out. Lots of juniors and fringe players. Personally, not reading much into this free pass. We will know more with the 3 games coming into focus.
@@Fobbie498 It was more the fact they didn't want the footage released, highlights have now gone up but there's no way that would have happened under Klopp. For the club to say they were undecided about showing the match just strikes me as Slot running scared. But yes if we beat MU and Arsenal who will have a hugely under strength squad then that might ease some fears.
Dude liverpool play mostly kids in these friendlies. Only Salah, and dom will play that too for half time. You're a reactionary social media football fan@@nonnayoubuzinnes1669
Liverpool will be top 3 again this season easily..usual tripe pre season from the "experts"...they will make 2 /3 smart additions as always before window shuts and be right up there once season settles in..the new manager is a class act..
Nahh maybe if they sell salah and give Edward’s a budget to work with
Im a Doncaster lad thats always been lfc.
Stevie played proper well atvdrgc in his 40.
Hed rinse shaka
"Kloop wasn't quite as successful as Fergie"
You don't say Stevie, 13 titles to 1. Not even the same stratosphere
Who is "Kloop"?
Alex Ferguson was there way longer and didn't have Man City to contend with either. Klopp racked up way more points in a season than Ferguson ever did. Klopp is actually a better manager than Ferguson, the league was far less competitive during Ferguson's heyday, plus he had all the refs in his pocket.
@@FractalchemysticalExcuses. Klopp was there for 7 years and Ferguson had to battle with Arsene Wenger and Prime Jose Mourinho for titles. Try again.
@@Fractalchemystical you must be stupid. cuz United had to compete with prime Arsenal, prime chelsea, (improving liverpool towards late 2000). And an unpredictable city from 2010-13 for titles. It's just shows how good sir alex was managed and dominating the prem for the span of 3 decades. klopp cant do that😂
@@clvn9janone of them as good as pep with City
@@clvn9ja Wenger is only rated in the PL and even in the PL he was only a temporary challenger at the top just like Chelsea was. Y'll are simply clueless about the fact that both on average have been Europa League knock-out stage level for more than a decade. Add United to that as well.
See no signings over there...
Nor sales.
they already have a banging team.
@@NeilLewis77 i agree. and continuing giving playtime to our babies to get more experience when pressure is high
@@NeilLewis77banging team that could only win a carabao cup and now they have a worse manager as well
@@amrm612 ye but the way the breased past spurs, united and chelsea with a brand new midfield was easy.
You do know man city tried to win the league cup too lol.
Go on try again. Troll harder.
@@NeilLewis77 Liverpool couldn’t beat the worst United of the decade once
Spurs and Man City should be title favourites now Postecoglou can settle for his 2nd season. Liverpool without Klopp will become Gerrard's title losing failures and Arsenal will cement their annual runner-up. Chelsea will also push the Top 4 but depends how the PL makes up stuff to keep them down as always
Captain Teebs? He owns a chain of luxury hotels right?
The question of every season as if the top aim for the club is to finish in top four, answer is maybe but what certain is that City will win the PL next season!
Will the expectation and pressure be as strong on Slot as on Arteta? Nope!!! It’s a “transitional season” with someone who hasn’t coached a minute in England but Liverpool should be challenging for the League. Not saying or expecting they will it.
As for top four, it should be City, Arsenal and Liverpool, not necessarily in that particular order. Chelsea and United should be more cohesive than last season but that’s not saying much. Newcastle? Nah. Aston Villa should be more nervous about them.
Liverpool can only finish in the top 4 if they sort out a defence that lets in the first goal in too many games! I don’t feel Slot has the tactical know how of Klopp. Klopp made the right substitutions to get Liverpool out the jam and win games. That’s the only way Liverpool can compete with City’s money and squad of 20 world class players.
Season 24/25:
1. Arsenal
2. Man Utd
3. Man City
4. Liverpool
……………….
5. Spurs

Does anyone know the reason that Dan Thomas hosts more shows than Kay Murray? It’s pretty obvious who the better host is, I think it’s time for ESPN to make the call to give her more air time and make Dan the sub or maybe put him on back room duties.
i prefer dan but like kay too. everyone has prefrences
Dan has been the host way longer and basically produces ESPN FC! Get a clue! Dan is the main host!
@@Fractalchemystical but the time has come for him to handover the keys…
@@danielsultimaterockmetal9363 I hear you to be honest. Dan is annoying but he does have sharper wit than Kay or Seb. He makes me laugh even though he also annoys me. Kay is a good stand in but she doesn't make me laugh as much as Dan. Each to their own, I guess.
You're talking nonsense
Headline:Will Liverpool make the top 4 next season? Discussed for less than 40 seconds. Laughable clickbait.
Can’t believe gab said he prefers Rodri this is what I talk about whenever you’re retire or not playing at your highest level people forget how good you are I mean even fabregas said it no one from this team would get in no one Rodri can’t lace Busquet boots bro
Your delusional. Rodri does everything busquets did plus score goals, big goals. Busquets had a very short prime. His last 5 or 6 years he was very mediocre.
Mancini was clearly the best of the 3
Shaka have a few drinks backstage before filming? He was on one.
Everything takes progress
Liverpool need to be relegated in order for FSG to shown some ambition and start spending the money 😂
What a 🤡 comment
You are talking nonsense. FSG has spent enough money for Liverpool to win every trophy out there in last 10 years. What the f**k are you talking about? There is no another team in England besides Man City who has won more trophies in last 10 years than Liverpool. You just like talking trash, don't you? If you don't have nothing good to say it's better not to say anything, because your meaningless comments don't mean s**t. Garbage.👎
Manchester United they said were title contender last season. What happens. They never qualify for Champions league.
Never? Like as in two seasons ago when United got 3rd and a trophy? 😂 United gets UCL just about every other year or two.
Daniel Carvajal
Sell salah, get nico and a solid centre back
Nico plays on the left, Salah on the right. You make no sense. Liverpool have enough forwards who play on the left already.
As a Liverpool fan I doubt it. Once again we are being dominated in the transfer market by half a dozen clubs only this time we don’t have one of the best managers ever to make it work.
Arne Slot has zero draw, this will be a problem post Klopp. Everybody wanted to play for Klopp.
@@jimmelton5846 Of course e doesn't have Klopp's pull. But he still has Salah, Van dijk, Diaz, Szobozzlai, Trent, Allisson, Gakpo, Jota, Mac Allister, Robertson, Gravenberch and a bunch of top class players to work with. So he has a top 4 squad, he just needs a lot of money to keep up with everyone else
@@SonnyK248 Yeh, but how many of those will be looking for an exit if Slot has an unsuccessful first season? All if and buts yet I feel Liverpool are a way off City and Arsenal and they do have a draw at this time.
This may not be Fergie/Utd levels but don't be surprised if Liverpool have their struggles this season.
@@jimmelton5846 Well that's a wait and see isn't it? We have to see his first move.
@@SonnyK248 yes, as mentioned. We shall see how important to the team Klopp actually was. Scary prospect after the success he had but Slot could be the 2nd coming of Pep, so who knows?
No mention of Argentina situation from ESPN FC crew yet?
It's not a big deal, get over it.
Of course not. Doesn't fit the agenda. If it was England, they'd be talking about it until next year. Hypocrites
@@Fractalchemysticalit doesn’t affect me I’m just surprised they haven’t talked about it at all yet
@@Supertoe82they can’t talk about it now cus it’s not clear what the punishment to Enzo is after it gets revealed they will announce it
Gab needs to hit the gym and get at least 15,000 steps a day plus start intermittent fasting
hey gab - there are no friendlies anymore
Maybe but they will not be challenging for the title next season.
These clowns have ignored Enzo's racist chants
France's team is full of Africans though, it's not racist, it's factual.
Enzo & his coach already apologised
Because it is not racist
Have you ever seen someone that's said they are racist ?
Racist for stating facts? How?
Stevie says where's Craig when you need him, need him to do what say something terrible about United when speaking about internationals?
bro gab marcotti is the brian windhorst for espn soccer
2024 Carvajal>>>2012 Arbeloa for the Spain combined XI
Yes, we will. Only lost the race for the title after having the second most injuries, last season.
The second most injuries behind Chelsea Newcastle Manchester United Brighton Tottenham and Nottingham Forest. Manchester City also had KDB stones Haarland Grelish and Edisson missing from a 3rd of the season. Let’s not forget that Liverpool lost form when the injured players had returned to the first team
We going miss Gab and Juls Show no doubt
Only if you’re a child

Average bottle fan being like
Did Gab say Rodri>Busquet? Wow.
Pr working for balon D'or
Yes Rodri is better than Busquets. In every aspect. He is creative and can score at the same time is currently the best player in the World.
Most of you are still stuck in the past. Nostalgia nonsense
Busquets better on the ball but rodri is far more effective because he can actually defend and score clutch goals
@@lwandilentaphane5719 You're utterly clueless. It's not even that difficult to tell Busquets was technically miles ahead of Rodri. The guy was more skillful under pressure than De Bruyne and Rodri combined.
What! I love the Gab and Juls podcast. I miss it already. Have a good break!
👀
Why does it look like when Gab talks, his mouth moves 1-2 seconds out of sync with his spoken words!
It's like some one has unbeknownst to me, flicked my channel to a Chinese, Kung-Fu B-Movie.
And his mouth uses up way more calories, than you'd think the words sound produced from it.
Carvajal from 2024 Spain absolutely gets in over Alvaro Arbeloa
Yes 2nd or 3rd chelsea will be better this year
Spain 2008-2012 had better players but current Spain team better balance. The old Spain team was just pass pass pass but now Williams and Yamal have pace and dynamism. Will be better to judge in a few years when wingers with the young players
No one knows who will finish where it's just opinion
What about in 10 yrs....i can travel back in my 83 supra and get the sports almanac.... 😂 bad question...upgrade. new discussions. Too americanized....keep it 🌍🌎🌏
Nobody cares about Fifa rankings. It's all about Trophies.
England above Germany and Canada at 9??
No ,top 4 Newcastle man city if no point reduction, arsenal and whoever ,so could be Liverpool I suppose but I fancy Chelsea . As long as it's not man united 😅😅
Liverpool won 1 title in 34 years and the talks about the title.
Yeh, they are playing for top 4.
If they don’t make any signings probably not lol I don’t know if the owners r delusional. But every season they “gamble” and make no new signings Liverpool suffer
Wearing wool socks to bed=best sleep you've had and most dream production possible🟫
They will miss top 4 like Nunez misses goals....
