I used to think I knew a lot about football. Although nowhere near as informed as I used to be I could still probably pick out most of the highly rated young players around the world. I read about the game most days, subscribe to World Soccer and keep an eye out for the next big thing.
And yet on here there are people who have massively passionate opinions on the most obscure players around. I expect I've seen Martina play but I have no idea what he is like. Unless a player does something spectacularly good or bad it is really hard to remember them. Have people honestly been following him since his days in Holland? Why? I could understand Depay/Dolberg etc but this forum seems to have people watching midtable Dutch teams fullbacks. Dedication.
