Did nothing in the 2007 final except score twice. The mark of a truly world class goal-poacher (even if one of them was a lucky deflection).
I think you said it yourself, his all round game was too good to be labelled a goal poacher.
Not recognized as he should because he was far more than just a poacher, but when he decided to wait and tap, man he tapped it good
The only contractual obligations I am required to fulfill on this forum are ELEX related. Neymar is just a bottomless treasure trove of ridiculousness.

do you have some contractual obligation to post something neymar related every 10 posts
FIFA knows no bounds
I'd agree on Hernandez, even if he has been shit at doing it for a few seasons, but Jesus and Sterling help set up goals and track back too, so are they still in a poacher role?
Fagner is really a WTF selection. None of the left backs can play on the right? Filipe Luís for example or Alex Sandro who was left home?
As in setting up goals? Yeah. He's world class at it too.
Diving ?
I'm just in awful pain and bringing awareness to the terrible fouls I am subjected to.
Meh I suppose Pep makes them work. They seem to only ever score tap-ins though.
What is this myth that jesus actually score goals
Bruno Peres could play RB
But he has a fatal flaw in the eyes of Tite - never played for Corinthians

That wasn't really the clue of my joke but I'll let you get away with it.
As fake as a $4 USD bank note.
Edit: holy shit I googled "3 dollar bill" to see if it was a thing and I just learned it's a homophobic slur, WTF.
Depends where you come from. Never really understood this anger about north americans using that word. Who cares? Well, lots of people. But why?
From a cynical point of view, I feel like the last thing a modern striker wants to be is a poacher because you are absolutely quantified by your production. It's not like you can argue in an off year of production you track back or hold up the ball or contribute through balls to your strike partner. If you don't score for a year, or god forbid two, your value tanks
No idea why people expect Ozil to track back and defend tbh and then say he "goes invisible" He's a playmaker, and he does it well.
Which part of my post is wrong? He sets up the most goalscoring chances in the entire league.
We have DMs who are meant to help our defenders, not his fault they're so bad at it.
It came from the UK as an abbreviation of Association Football. "American" Football was originally called gridiron football as it was an offshoot of Rugby football. They shortened it to football because soccer wasnt popular here yet and called soccer soccer because it was a popular and well known name of the sport back then in the UK.
It makes sense but everyone seems to be misinformed about this.
He sets up chances all right but he's also a gutless streak of piss who goes missing when needed most. IMVHO.
If you help set up goals and backtrack you are not a poacher. A poacher who backtracks is an oxymoron in definition. People are confusing "finishers" ie a striker who is an efficient finisher with an outright poacher
I disagree with this.
He's the scapegoat for when the entire team goes missing. We have a team of gutless cowards, thankfully that's being rectified.
I agree. That's why I'm asking if the poacher role is dead in modern football.
Well it was more a tongue in check attempt at banter(was thinking of that disco quote in Simpsons, but the numbers did not really work). Instead of just saying I don't think the past meetings mean much in regards to many goals/excitement in tomorrows match.
As a Roma fan, I can tell you that if you actually want your FB to defend. Don't play Peres lol. We were so exstatic to get him two years ago, now we're trying to pawn him off as fast as possible. Probably at a loss
Not in brazil we don't!
Bruno Peres would still be a far better third option than fagner. he can actually attack sometimes. hell i would even take Nino Paraíba over fagner, at least he doesnt get carded as often
Soccer comes from Association Football and calling it just Football came later so knock yourself out calling it whatever you like. I call it Daisy - it doesn't seem to mind.
I think it is. As I mentioned to someone else prior, people are confusing a striker whose an effecientl finisher with a poacher. If you do ANYTHING extra outside of slamming the ball in the back of the net, you're not a poacher
Cant sleep, popped in to see what you are all up to in my favourite thread and wtf....lol
Prefer my eggs scrambled, hopefully like Sweden's defence this weekend...
