Month 9: Got some ideas/games for future SDS episodes. I've been averaging 200-300 likes when I comment this so hopefully someone sees this. Love the pod boys! 1) Random Football Category Draft Challenge: This is similar to the iconic and world cup draft challenges, but each round would be a random football category with a different pool of players. You will have a total of 11 random rounds. For example: - players to never win the Ballon D'or (excluding goalies): Maldini, Raul, Henry, Xavi, Baresi, etc. - Barca 08/09 starting XI - English Midfielders 2) Start, Sub, Sell | Everyting but players edition: Similar format to classic version, but here you would do celebrations, greatest moments, freekicks, iconic hairstyles, etc. 2.5) Start, Sub, Sell | Speical situation edition: Same format, but you will start, sub, sell based on a specific situation. In example: Game is tied 0-0 you have a freekick right outside the box. Who will you start, sub , or sell? - Messi, Beckham, Ronalidno Some questions I thought of that are both related and not related to football: Who would you want as captain in a final? Goalkeeper you would want in a pk shooutout? What player you would want to have in a pub fight?

Eden Hazard was an early prodigy, he broke into the French ligue and won YPOY or POY every year he played while KDB was still finding his footing. Revisionist history regarding the World Cup (Silver Ball) and even 2016 Euros is just shameful and possibly agenda based. KDB grew into his game and is a top player and it is mostly definitely his league and has been for at least 5 years.

[@ahmedawadalla3017]

5 years is over the top. It's been his league since Hazard left Chelsea but 2018 and 2019 Hazard was still best and I'd say only VVD could chat to him then. His overall game and stats were unreal especially in 18/19 and he carried that Sarri team to 3rd place and Europa but it was a very poor side around him (they would've come 6th max without him). He should've been in contention for POTY that year having been the only player other than Messi to get 15 league goals and 15 league assists

Respect to Abz for standing up for his opinion about Hazard, I think he is right, Hazard was able to dominate the league with chelsea and still be the best player in the league even without winning it. De bruyne has been dominating the league for most of the last 6 years, but Salah was almost toe to toe with him, If Hazard was in Man city or liverpool, I really think there would be a different discussion. Like always, we prefer attakers over midfielders because of the dribbling aspect. After some years though, I think De bruyne will surpass Hazard after doing even more in the Prem and winning almost every year with Pep and at the end, it will be just like Henry and CR7, one of them is better but the other has done more in the Prem. Next time you do one of these, bring up old hot takes to test the consistency of the pod members , I think most of them forget what they came up with on the spot at times 😂

The disrespect hazard against because of how his Real Madrid transfer turned out is mental. We all know those years tainted his legacy but that doesn’t take away his talent. Longevity isn’t only if you play after your 30’s people forget hazard was playing since early he won the French league with Lille when he was 20/21 and was crowned the best player. He was consistently good for Belgium since his debut and in belgium he is arguably seen als the best player ever from there. His Chelsea careers was chaotic with constantly changing of managers and never having a real striker besides Diego Costa for 1 year. It is not crazy to say that hazard is the best belgium to play in PL.

[@onset6ix]

preach. i’ve been telling all these salah stans, hazards prime started at 19 up until 29 & salahs prime started at 25 until now where he is now 31, so the longevity argument is automatically in the bin. hazard played for a fuck ton of managers & thrived under any system, surrounded with players no where near the levels like a sadio manè, van dijk, allison who people consider all time top 10 PL greats in their respective positions. unlike salah, he’s never been able to thrive in any other system other than klopp’s. if you’d surrounded hazard with the players salah had, this wouldn’t of even been a debate, let alone the amount of trophies they’d win.

In regards to the youngsters segment, I think Musiala might finally be reaching the point of development that we've all wanted him to get to. Case in point being Bayern's game against Hoffenheim. Completely dominated the game in every aspect and scored the first 2 goals - 1 being an amazing finish and the other being a great dribble with an efficient pass to set himself up on the return ball. That, combined with his insane X-factor of being the best dribbler on the planet, makes him the best young midfielder. Although, Bellingham has had the superior season thus far.

[@kingkong-oq8co]

Yeah those statements about Musiala are ridiculous, it's clear they haven't watched him at all. This season his base level has been insane and he's been Bayern's 2nd most important player after Kane. He's very good in the final third

[@Leschep1234]

Kdb actually had a good world cup and scored in their quarter final tie against Brazil (Hazard did nothing that game. And this narrative that Hazard played unreal against France is kinda funny tbh, yes he completed a lot of dribbles but they led to only 1 key pass and 0 shots on target for him. Kdb also has a much bigger prem legacy than Hazard

[@fb51235]

statboy fuck off, you're ruining the game for people who actually understand it

[@AbsoleteAim]

Last I checked, Hazard got the Silver Ball that WC, not KDB. He probably would have been the best player of the entire tournament if they beat France. Also, the same Brazil game where Hazard outperformed Neymar? A player who was regarded as a top 3 player at the time? You don't need to score to have an impact. It's never that black and white.

Totally agree on the Rashford shout. As much as we know, he's a talented footballer, his time at United has passed. Hes stagnated to the point that we are witnessing someone being compared to Theo Walcott, instead of Rooney. Being an Arsenal fan, i think Rashford should leave for his own development. He's been a key player at United for almost 8 years, yet no improvement on his positioning, his ability to be clinical, his predictability, and most importantly, his involvement in the team. Things we used to question about Walcott.

Hazard has to be the most disrespected prem player ever. Hazard played at a world class level dominated leagues from the time he was a teenager. And then guys like Fuad want to just yell and shout discrediting him because he retired early. He played at a much higher level from the start of his career and it caught up to him unfortunately. Hazard was THE most entertaining attacker in the premier league during his entire time there all while playing in Chelsea teams that didn't have great attacking talent aroud him and didn't play attack minded football. Don't get me wrong KDB is incredible but don't forget he's dominating in a one horse race.

On the Real Madrid point, I believe Real Madrid are the epitome of 'Football is results'.

[@Young_Brumm15]

@@maxymax32 Gabriel has never thoroughly impressed me as a center back. Defensively I can't knock Gabriel because he is a big dude who can put a body on someone to dispossess them of the ball. However, Gabriel crumbles when it matters most. When Saliba was out last season, he did not pick up the slack, which contributed to Arsenal not winning the league like they should have. As for Micky Van de Ven, I have been very impressed with the job he has done so far for Spurs, in the amount of games he's played so far. He's a fast center back, who can facilitate the ball well, is a pretty solid defender, and can be can offensive threat when need be. The only knock on him is his sample size. VDV was doing very well in the Bundesliga for Wolfsburg, beforehand. But nobody was talking about him yet, at that time. But I wouldn't say that it is a "no contest," or that Van de Ven blows him out of the water. It's about current form, yes, however; it's also about preference in terms of ability.

It may be very hot take but I believe Camavinga is a better player than Bellingham. He offers more to the team and the system. He can play 6,8,10. Of course, Bellingham is the starboy, the goals, the assists but he's not doing something I haven't seen before at Madrid. I saw Isco do this, Di Maria, Modric when he was younger. Even Asensio when he first broke through. Camavinga can do it ALL.
