Legend or meme?
Club legend; don't shit on Totti you faggots
half and half, the Italian Gerrard
>>66064885
Both
He's a legend but his age is turning him into a meme. Needs to retire t.b.h.
You either retire a legend or play long enough to see yourself become a meme
>>66065079
Totti has won the domestic league and a WC, how can you compare him to Gerrard
meme legend
>8 second place league finishes
holy keks
>>66065188
Gerrard won a CL which is inarguably a higher level of competition then Serie A or World Cup
>>66065186
good one venancio
>>66065260
>>66065260
Even if that was true, Liverpool is one of the biggest clubs in the world and Roma a shit
>>66065188
Gerrard won the CL which is infinitely better than a league title and Totti was lucky enough to be born in a country that challenges for the World Cup on a regular basis, Gerrard was not
>>66065315
You can't be a legend if you have never won a domestic league
You can be a legend without winning a CL
>>66065315
>instrumental to the teams success
>lucky enough to be born in the country
Get over it, Gerrard just couldn't put his country on his back like a true GOAT would
a wild Simone Padoin appeared!
>>66065260
>>66065315
a round robin league is more valuable than a knock out tournament
also, to win that league they've had to beat teams on the same level of those liverpool has beaten in the cl
>>66065338
>You can't be a legend if you have never won a domestic league
And who set those criteria?
>>66065344
If Totti was born in England he wouldn't even sniff a World Cup final. And Totti did not put anything on his back, Buffon and Cannavaro did
>>66064885
>le one-club man
Pretty rare nowadays.
>>66065394
I'm pretty sure we can actually all thank Zidane for that World Cup :^)
>>66065338
Incorrect
>>66065344
Oh yeah I forgot, please remind me how many times Argentina and Portugal have won the World Cup in the last ten years
>>66065373
Nigga, it's a fair fucking comparison so shut the fuck up
Both have won valuable silverware for their teams and both were instrumental in both those teams
Perhaps Totti is more of a legend for playing for longer, and for being a one club man, but Gerrard is still a fucking legend
>>66065463
>Oh yeah I forgot, please remind me how many times Argentina and Portugal have won the World Cup in the last ten years
>world cup
>last ten years
British people.. just watch cricket or whatever the fuck you play please
>>66065463
I wasn't shitting on Gerrard, I was saying a knock out tournament is not more valuable than a round league
>>66065508
He's implying Ronaldo and Messi are GOAT
>>66065508
Difference is Gerrard actively fucked up in a fair few vital games for England. Gerrard's only a club legend. Even when he was a legend at Liverpool others were better players (Alonso, Suarez)
>>66065528
so a Premier League medal > a World Cup?
>>66065508
2006-2016
Ronaldo anf Messi both played their first WC in 06. You retarded wop?
>>66065508
Making a point about Messi and Ronaldo mate, sorry if it flew over your head
>>66065528
I don't necessarily think it is either
I think winning the CL or winning the domestic league are both pretty big achievements t.b.h.
>>66065586
PL medal > CL medal
for international football it's different, as you (?) said, you have to be born in the right place
>>66065622
To be fair, Messi was instrumental to Argentina's success at the last WC. Can't shit on him really for losing to undeniably the best team in the tournament
>>66065641
>PL medal > CL medal
uhmm, no
winning a competition between the best teams in England << winning a competition between the best teams in England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal etc
>>66065641
If PL medal > CL medal then why do Man U have way more PL titles than CL titles?
Checkmate Mario
>>66065648
You can shit on him for being anonymous in the final though.
>>66065716
What was anonymous was Argentina's entire defensive line, but yeah I get ya
He's a legend desu. He'll always have the backheel and the GOAT vision.
To be a legend you have to have excelled at something, you have to really be special. And Totti was that.
But he should retire already with honor. Will never forget this glorious motherfucker
>>66065716
>not scoring means he didn't do anything
This ain't Rooney you're talking about, m8
>>66065693
>>66065699
I don't know, I'm still convinced that a competition that tests you all over the season is more valuable than one that tests you for only a handful of matches, regardless the opponent's level
>>66064885
totti is a shite overrated spaghetti slurping wanker
pound-shop lee cattermole
>>66065079
Hes more the Italian Beckham.
>>66065846
dont dox me you fucker
>>66065782
>To be a legend you have to have excelled at something, you have to really be special.
This over and over again
Stats, wins etc are cool and that but it can never quantify if a player took your breath away.
>>66064885
did you see the match yesterday? did you ever see the entire bernaveu clap like that before?
>>66066013
Gerrard's best quality was always grit determination and stamina. Once we saw that dwindle with age we saw how poor/average as a technical player he was.
Compare him to Scholes who you could probably put on the pitch now and would still be one of the best players on the pitch. Even when Brasilian Ronaldo got unfit he was still a phenomenal player. Gerrard was just average once his body failed him
>>66066191
>Once we saw that dwindle with age we saw how poor/average as a technical player he was.
He was the best passer/set piece taker in the league in 13/14
>>66066058
Yes

>muh stats
>>66064885
>literally who
>>66066508
what stats did I quote?
retard
>English people actually think Slippy G was a better player than Totti
>>66067534
>Scousers
>English
>>66067063
Then what justification do you have for saying he was the best passer/set piece taker in 13/14?
>>66067910
watching the games I assume
>>66067910
Gerard has always been a great stiker of the ball, it was part of one of the major criticisms of his game >muh hollywood ball.
>>66064885
Shitter
>>66065186
nice
Legend.
Unquestionably.
>>66067910
watching the games and comparing his passing ability to other players
>>66064885
memend
>>66065315
>scouse delusion
A legendary meme
>>66066285
But in that instance Del Piero had but in a Masterclass performance though.
Totti got a standing ovation just getting subbed onto the pitch, which was a level of respect I honestly didn't think Real fans could display tbqh and it was just a fantastic moment.
A shame Salah and Dzeko couldn't convert chances for shit or they would have easily gone through though.
>>66065648
>team didn't score a single goal in the nearly 300 minutes after di maria got hurt
I'm loling at all the Johnny Come Lately's rating this overrated spaghetti slurping wanker
he couldn't hack in the prem, he's a scared wee lad
>>66067534
Im sorry but prime slippy g> prime totti
totti (whole career)> gerrard (whole career)
Not really a controversial viewpoint, gerrard averaged a goal every other game from centre mid in his prime, whilst playing under benitez, and his link up play with torres was sensational for a while.
Shame he didn't retire earlier desu
>>66082338
Im pretty sure outside of Liverpool fans, literally no one thinks he was a better player in his prime than Totti.
is this the new >zidane thread?
Totti obviously has nothing on Gerrard. It is funny how he is compared by roma fans to a true legend like pic related, while he is much closer to a player like Di Natale, who is at least likable.
>>66082795
Del Piero > Totti
why not both?
Totti? Totti was a fucking great player.
Gerrard was also fucking great player.
You people are incapable of enjoying anything.
>>66082888
is this a memeposter or a legendary poster?
>>66064885
Serie A expert here.
He's more meme than legend, his goal tally in Serie A is massive but.. he's never been instrumental in winning anything, he's never been clutch for club or country. He's just 39 year-old who's who's gotten alot of goals along the way. He's a statpadder
A much inferior, italian version of TSSUUUUU
I'm so fucking embarrased for /sp/
Totti and Gerrard are GOAT
I guarantee you retards would be talking shit about Iniesta if he played for Newcastle all his career.
>>66082941
>he's never been instrumental in winning anything
except the 2001 Serie A title
>>66082555
gerrard was a top 3 player in the world in his prime, totti was never that good...
>>66064885
Forever in the shadow of the true italian greats like Baggio & Del Piero
>>66082983
it was all about batigol, please don't rewrite history
Totti is an all time great like Marco Di Vaio Antonio Di Natale and Alberto Gilardino. Just a tier below Luca Toni and above Antonio Cassano.
>>66083120
'no'
Totti was the best player on that team
>>66083172
just looking at the players shows it was a very good team, many of them went on to actually win trophies later. Even the likes of Tommasi looked good. But it was not about Totti and he was not even their best player.
Also, it is hard to argue he was unable to win anything in the past 15 years even without a strong Juventus for years.
>>66082941
he might not have carried the team to glory in 2006 but that dude put the Azzurris on his back in 2002
The state of Italy now
>>66065091
Yeah, he was a legend until this.
http://www.goal.com/en/news/1716/champions-league/2016/03/09/21139102/totti-not-playing-for-real-madrid-my-only-regret
Now he's a faggot
>>66084511
I miss zambrotta so much
>>66065290
he's right
>>66065394
Totti scored the winning goal against Australia while Gerrard managed to miss a crucial penalty against Portugal. None can say that Gerrard would be better.
