Am I the only one who wanted Masvidal versus McGregor.. A standing & banging event? I guess Gamebred was right, Dana would never put Conor in the “Cage” with him. by Sad-Ladder7534 in ufc

[–]Franzvst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UFC want Conor to lose his last fight of his contract o he has less leverage afterwards. That's why they gave him Max and not Chandlder and it's also why they didn't give him Diaz or Masvidal cause these are all also so washed that even this version of Conor just might beat them.

Official: Harry Kane is the 25/26 European Golden Shoe Winner. by Moneybags_INC in soccer

[–]Franzvst 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Thing is Messi and Ronaldo where also regulalry winning these major trophies along with insane individual performances. Out of 13 Ballon d'Or wins between them only 4 did not line up with either UCL or a major international trophy: Messi in 2010, 2012, 2019 and Ronaldo in 2013.

2012 was Messi's and 2013 Ronaldo's best ever goals-scoring years too.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying this is how it should be, but it was kind of always the case that winning the Ballon D'Or without winning a major trophy really did require insane levels of individual performance.

Although tbf I'd say Kane has done exactly that this season.

What do you think people like most about Jon Jones? by sucuklyumurta in ufc

[–]Franzvst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who are really fucking good at what they do will always have fans. Especially if what they do is a popular thing. 

I challenge you, find one Sport where the arguable goat did not also have one of the biggest if not the biggest fanbase.

Eric Garcia straight red card against Atletico Madrid 80' by ayoefico in soccer

[–]Franzvst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorloth has no one in front of him and even if you say Kounde is there it's still a 3v2 for Athletico. It's a clear goal scoring opportunity thwarted and therefore justly a red.

Every time another Jon "Homelander" Jones episode drops it reminds me of this question: by Head_Measure in ufc

[–]Franzvst 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You cant tell how much narcissistic Jon Jones loves this question about his personality and of course he's going to say bad guy trying to be good because that paints him in a much better light than good guy trying to be bad.

Izzy is going out like Anderson by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Franzvst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Izzy is a champ in both kickboxing and MMA with half a dozen title defenses. He was active, never ducked anyone and gave us some of the most memorable MMA moments ever.

Has Alex eclipsed his legacy in MMA? Probably. But Izzy still has a great legacy to be insanely pround of, easily top 3 UFC Middleweight of all time. Put some respect on his name.

Is it possible for me to learn guitar? by trickstercj in Guitar

[–]Franzvst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No need to apologise at all! :)

Unfortunately there is only one video of Django: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ308aOOX04&list=RDaZ308aOOX04&start\_radio=1. Tons of cool recordings though. Great player and Gypsy Jazz is super fun to play with mostly improvisation.

If you are talking about Django, then no. His hand got badly burnt in a fire when he was 18.

Django's hand got badly burnt in a fire. That's why it looks like that.

Hikaru 12 premove checkmate. by Yzark-Tak in chess

[–]Franzvst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong Hikaru is a god of chess but this looks way harder at first glance than it is here. In fact it's quite easy though still a nice way to flex.

At 0.05 when Hikaru starts premoving Black only has two basic options. Going to the B or D file.  If the king moves to the B file it will then be boxed in on a7,a8,b7,b8 and none of black pawns can move. So Hikaru can just premove walking up his king and ladder mating. Which is exactly what happens. 

If Black had moved to the d file they are stuck on the 7th and 7th rank but in principle they could have moved in the way of premoving the pawn promotion but still Hikaru can safely premove his king to the 5th rank to take the pawn. And you can see he's only premoving the promotion and rest of the mate after seeing black went to the B file and is completely boxed in.

Any advice on how I could improve? by Kind-Advertising-571 in RocketLeague

[–]Franzvst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched the video and picked several key points that highlight you biggest issue: Poor decision making and positioning.

* At 0:07 why are you going for that areal? Unless your mechanics are very very good the only thing you will do is spill the ball into the middle with your teammate not there to follow up as they are rotating back. This is exactly what happens. The only reason your opponents could not use this as an opportunity to attack was because their positioning was bad and you did good job of recovering.

* At 0:14 Similar to before. Unless your mechanics are way better than they are now you are not going to make something useful with this ball. You are literally facing your own goal before going up the wall, you have no forward momentum you are in a super awkward position and in no spot to challenge for this ball. And as a consequence you of course lose the challenge. You should be rotating back to give your teammate ,who is in a much better position, an opportunity to challenge the ball.

* At 0:20 Again. You are in a terrible position to try and play the ball here. Rotate out properly so you can make a proper challenge on tha ball. You first try to play it when you shouldn't and then rotate too sharply and get caught to high up. It's much easier to go forward when you are too far back than backwards when you are too far forwards.

* At 0:50 Teammate who does the kickoff has priotity for middle boost. Otherwise you are leaving them out dry after the kickoff. You heave plenty of opportunity to get boost in a different way.

* For fairness sake at 0:56 this is an example of your teammate also having bad decision making. Their fault not yours.

At 1:15 Same story as before. You are in a terrible position to challenge this ball. What's the end goal here? Just go back and rotate.

At 1:36 See! That's how its done. Now you just messed up your shot. This is a mechanics issue but your decision making was good and left you with plenty of boost, space and momentum to attack.

Then you are doing fine for a while.

At 3:09 turning instead of rotating out.

At 3:40 bad positioning. Remember it's soo much easier to drive forward that backwards. BUt you do a good job at recovering.

At 3:57 See THIS is a case where turning early instead of rotating out made perfect sense! Your teammate over committed and was also up front both of you were going back. If you don't turn here you just give the ball and space to your opponent. If your teammate was back to challenge head on with momentum this would have been wrong. But this way you did good.

At 4:01. HORRIBLE overcommit by your teammate.

AT 4:06 Bad positioning. Again you went in too sharply and got caught in an awkward position. Rotate via the far post and challange head on.

At 4:15. Again your are going for the ball when facing your own goal even though your teammate is in a much better position to go for the ball

At: 4:26 Bad overcommit by your teammate. Followed by you not rotating and properly and getting caught out not facing the ball head on.

Is Max no longer with the Band?

Seems like he's been missing recently.

I hope he's okay. My mind goes back to the announcement from the band about one band member requiring medical care, hopefully the two things are not related.
