The one I highlighted is how I see it in relation to sport.

See.

Well I guess we are both right then.

[fah-q]

Impossible. This is the Internets.

[Alex]

Too be honest, I think we are talking about the same thing, but just different ends of the spectrum.

Fantastic gif....can I nick that after the WC is over and use it as my new av?

[Darkon]

sure, go ahead mate

It is great, however I could see a problem fitting it within the requirements here and still look acceptable.

Thinking about this after watching the Dutch:

Not including Robben’s diving, do you see the ceiling for Raheem Sterling as being roughly Arjen Robben’s game?

Obviously, Raheem already passes better and has a touch more vision and is on his way to being the world class finisher on the break/ cutting in from the wing. But what is his ceiling? I think he has a way to go in terms of being a consistent game breaker and always making the right play (even when it doesn't work out). His head has gotten much, MUCH better, so I think he can surpass a player like Robben, but what does a maximized Raheem Sterling position/career look like?

Multiple premier league and champions league career at Liverpool with the odd FA Cup and worthless cup thrown in too [emoji1][emoji106]

If we manage him right and send him on loan 15 times, he might be as good as Andros Townsend. If we're lucky...

[Norbs]

Crazy talk

[TheElephantMan]

Robben is an incredible player, if Sterling reaches half of his level we'll have some player on our hands. I think he's very very good, but I wouldn't compare him to the likes of Robben just yet. :-)

[Roboklopp]

Aye. Can't believe he had time for all them Lord of the Rings films and yet can still play at such a level. Especially after Reina hospitalised him that time.

[Paddy]

Our new No.7 now that Teixeira has 31? According to pictures anyway.

[Liverpool]

Can our new 23 was wearing 19
