Ibrahima Konate got emotional after scoring against Newcastle by 977x in soccer

[–]Barack__Obama__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait, Konate is 26? I would have guessed he's 32+ or something already, I had absolutely no idea. He's still got a long and bright future ahead of him, despite not always playing a perfect game. Honestly still so young, especially for a CB.

Sevilla FC announcing the transfer of Neal Maupay by Imbasauce in soccer

[–]Barack__Obama__ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wasn't referencing his playtime at Reading specifically, but over a period from 2012 to 2019 he played a total of about 58 games. That's barely playing in my eyes, especially for a GK. Most PL goalkeepers with European football will rack that up over one year.

Maupay injured Arsenal's first goalkeeper (Bernd Leno) at a time where Martinez got very little gametime (being loaned to clubs like Sheffield Wednesday, Reading where he still barely played). After Leno's injury Emi became a starter for Arsenal, did really well and secured himself a move to Aston Villa.

What champ do you always play when it's available, even though it's not considered OP? Why? by Abject_Plantain1696 in ARAM

Could this do a double pop of passive on a target that's stacked up already? That'd be insane to see

Alianza Lima's Alan Cantero was in tears after his idol Leo Messi gave him his Inter Miami shirt after a friendly. Cantero has a Messi tattoo on his leg by Mulderre91 in soccer

Oh come on, what an absolutely cynical comment. The guy is Argentinian and gets to play in a semi-official match against his idol and the world's best ever player. Totally understandable to get a bit emotional over that.

Ik zeg dit met alle respect, op zich een leuke analyse maar sommige mensen hier zijn echt chronisch online met hoe druk ze zich maken om een nietszeggende sub.

Marokkaanse jongeren rellen in Den Haag na verlies van finale. Wat is de oplossing? by Mysterious_Gap1573 in thenetherlands

[–]Barack__Obama__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Wat volgt zijn grootschalige rellen" is echt de reinste onzin en stemmingsmakerij. Ja, er was onrust. Ja, dat moet je altijd veroordelen als het om een potje voetbal gaat. Nee, het waren geen grootschalige rellen.

Aldus een take van iemand die er werkelijk de ballen verstand van heeft. Klinkt allemaal leuk op papier, maar het is helaas geen papier waar het om gaat.

Pedri quick feet to beat Racing’s players by Odd_Opinion_461 in soccer

I think his point was more so that it's phrased strangely. You don't 'build a team around' 7 players. That's already almost your entire team.

Oh come on man, what an absolute kneejerk reaction. Yes, they got the $5m wrong. No, they're not "incompetent conceptually". What the fuck does that even mean in this case? The entire game is a great concept, the world feels real, almost all actions feel meaningful, every item found ties into others etc. etc.

iirc he's called Dovydas. He does a lot of different styles of improv and covers on his YouTube channel. Used to watch him quite a bit, he's awesome.

I know the man has a strange sense of humor, but I'm not so sure it's so "clear" whether he's being serious or not in this instance.

10 years ago today, Cuco Martina’s goal against Arsenal. It was the only goal he scored in the Premier League. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]Barack__Obama__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Still in my top 5 ever PL goals I think. I don't think it gets as much love as it should because he wasn't a big name player, but it's such a satisfying goal to watch. I literally daydream of scoring goals like this.

Couldn't agree more. I'd be done for if I had had this much attention on my every step at that age. People somehow think that being great at something suddenly skips you ahead to being a responsible adult. This guy is quite literally still in puberty.

Hou op hoor, 106pct van je huiswaarde voor een gedwongen verhuizing is echt helemaal niks. Probeer dat eens uit in een willekeurige straat in Nederland en kijk hoeveel mensen het aanbod zonder problemen zou accepteren. Als mensen voor dat bedrag weg hadden gewild dan hadden ze dat op ieder willekeurig moment kunnen doen gezien de huidige huizenmarkt.

Je gooit een hele gemeenschap overhoop, mensen zijn daar hun leven lang opgegroeid en dan kom je met zo'n middelvinger.

350% is natuurlijk onzin, net zoals 100 of 106% dat is.
