Whoa, where did the Roberto Soldado bashing come from? Leave him that poor soul alone and let him enjoy his moment in the castrol fueled spotlight

That’s some slick accounting, but I wonder if their numbers have any gas. Do you think they’ll cause some friction?

The thing is I’ve bought oil for my car twice, when it was leaking and I needed to refill til I could get to my mechanic and when I moved away for a few months and came back to find the level a little low before, so I bought some til it went to get serviced.

Other than that every oil change is done by my mechanic and he chooses whatever his experience tells him works best. I think I got Shell Havoline oil last service…but I’m not sure and having a football ranking really isn’t going to make me care.

…and now we’re going to drive a little while longer to find a petrol station that isn’t Castrol.

Well, considering this is advertising, it is working. Here we are all reading and talking about it.

How can they think their ranking system is unbiased when there’s 3 midfielders in the top 20? and 11 forwards!!!

But you see…all of you are basing this on opinion! Castrol uses facts! by creating a merit system based on expert input they have created a system which says Wayne Rooney who had numerous shots, assists and even plays defense for his squads (club and country) is not in the top 30!

lol, what a crock.

These idiots reason an intercepting tackle closer the the goal is moar points!!11!!eleven!!! Hmm then I guess Barca should stop trying to win the ball in the attacking 3rd! Tactics be damned, winning the ball from a striker in front of the box…when the box is crowded is FAR more valuable to nicking the ball off the defender and going straight for goal.

Did I mention that a winning goal is no more valuable than a normal goal? Really? Cricket has a wonderful ranking system because the game is simplified to 1 bowler at 1 batsman. All batsmen have the game goal, score runs, all bowlers have the same goals, don’t concede runs and take wickets.

In football the goal is wildly tactical and taking the ball off Player X in front of your goal may be seem better than taking it off player Y in the midfield….what if player X is John Terry and Player Y is Xavi.
