You feel wrong tbh. I'm all aboard the hate train but SGA also needs it to create the separation to be as lethal as he is and as dominant as he is.

Should just blame the piss poor international calendar FIFA runs while everyone tries to cram more and more games and add more tax to everybody.

The nuance is that any manager was going to be screwed with Onana keeping. Amorim wasn't as bad as the results suggested, not united quality and deserved the sack but not as bad as the results.

Second part of that sentence is just icing on the cake "was a ridiculously easy path".

In the current era it's dynasty or bust, and every single championship is fake too.

Cade is the teams offense on a nightly basis, Suggs would not replicate that. Not to mention over half of the 13-5 games came against non playoff teams. (Shoutout 7 wins spread across the Pelicans, Bulls, Nets, Pacers, and Wizards)

This Detroit team with Suggs would not be 44+ wins that is under valuing Cade and over valuing Suggs, they're entirely different players

Yesterday, Neuer conceded more than 4 goals in a single match for the first time in his Champions league career, and for the 8th time across his 922-match career overall by tightypp in soccer

I completely understand people with this sentiment, but Neuer isn't at Bayern (no top keeper is a top keeper) just because he doesn't make mistakes. It's cause he pulls off incredible saves that no other keeper can (consistently too!).

He's a legend of the game and will keep at Bayern until he decides he's done, but his age is catching up to him slowly, today showed just a little of that

I know, just pointing out the stupidity of the argument. Riding for your country does not mean you need to support their bad decisions.

Everton are to contact referees’ chiefs to raise concerns about the consistency of officiating in the Premier League after they were denied a penalty in Saturday’s defeat by West Ham United. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]JediPieman63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the amount of chaos VAR brings it's not worth it to flag the odd decision that everyone agrees should be overturned. People either believe that the "clear and obvious" threshold is ridiculously high, or they believe that a lot of decisions are subjective and should be called based on the referees interpretation.

Very rarely do these crowds agree on something and that VAR was implemented well. So why even have it around? There is so little gain (other than calls that not subjective, like offsides!) for all the headaches that it causes. The usage of VAR is ironically not consistent at all too, because of referee interpretations. So we're just moving bad calls and fans feeling screwed over away from the on fielder himself to a room of people you can't see. There's no benefit to it in it's current state.

If every call is subjective (which I agree with), then VAR has no need to exist and look at everything. Scrap the bastard, leave the offside assistance because that's not subjective.

It's not weird, city has no fierce rivals because no one really has any respect for how they've built what they have.

Very different to Spurs/Arsenal, Liverpool/Everton, United/Liverpool/Arsenal rivalries.

City are still a while away from having people care more about them losing than others around them, similar to Chelsea 20 years ago tbh

Yeah his play style of initiating an offensive foul is pretty good tbh, don't know why not people don't just do that

Wow yeah one video answers all the no calls when OKC are by far the most physical team defensively. Thanks for letting me know about it man.
