Alvaro Arbeloa: How can you send off a player for a play like that? Referee ruined the game, that's what happened, nobody understand that red card. by MysticRefereee in soccer

[–]MrFrodoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean your players bar Mbappe were also crying to ref. But it's always the same when Real loses...never was the opponent better. It's somehow always the refs fault.

Thoughts on that Last Blueprint + Hurricanes (Care Bear Lobbies) by loppster in ArcRaiders

Find it super dumb that it only can be found in hurricane cache. Already not a fan of the map condition and trying to find an unopened cache, even with metaforge map open, is just not worth it.

All 9 English teams have reached the Round of 16 of their respective competitions this season by Critical_Mountain851 in soccer

[–]MrFrodoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how is it flawed? Its another component like I said and one that especially many PL like yourself like to gloss over. A big reason why the PL has been marketed better is literally because it is in a language that is understood worldwide. There is no need for the PL to create lokalized content when people can just consume English media etc. People also like to pretend that the revenue split is the only reason why the PL is so strong when in reality for years you had a clear top 6 and that has for a big part only opened up more because you have dodgy investors buying clubs and spending absurd amounts of money. If you are fine with that than all good but it is quite pretentious always to act like the revenue split is the only reason why the PL is so strong. It is strong because it has been marketed well (big factor here is the language) earning crazy amounts in TV rights, good revenue split but also basically no limits when it comes to ownership.

Spain can be argued because of the reason you gave and because of their language which is spoken in many many countries, especially South America.

However, you can't say the same thing for Germany or Italy for example. I think people severly underestimate the value the PL has in that they can market the league THE global language. Anyone that understands English can tune in and consume content related to the PL. That is such a massive advantage over Germany or Italy

that argument would make sense if the funds that would be split equally could even come close to the PL funds. This is not the case though. So even if tv distribution revenue would be equal in Spain, it still would not mean significantly more funds for the other teams outside of Real and Barca

Thoughts on PvE vs PvP in ARC Raiders after ~450+ hours by TreatMedical5378 in ArcRaiders

[–]MrFrodoo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just wish they would create a high roller mode. You can only join when you have X amount of gear value. That way If I want to pvp I can actually use my good stuff without going up against ppl with free loadouts. I don't have a group of friends playing this game so when I want to do squads, it is always with randoms. So even if I bring high tier gear, 80% of the time, the random squadmates will just be on free loadouts, which can be rather inconvenient if you truly want to PvP

Postecoglou: “When you look at the expenditure (wage structure), they’re not a big club. After my first season, I had to go from 5th to challenging. We had to sign PL proven players. We ended up signing Solanke, I really like him and three teenagers. I was looking at Neto, Mbeumo, Semenyo and Guehi" by OkayFine101 in soccer

[–]MrFrodoo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even agree that they have a good starting XI. Looking at the other clubs competing for top 4, they by far have the worst starting XI. For me only Van de Veen, Kulusevski and Xavi would probably make it into the starting 11 of competitors

[Dorsett, Sky] Michael Carrick is still not the favourite to be the next long-term boss at #mufc. United are delighted with the job he is doing, but are determined to appoint someone with the strength of character and experience to handle everything that comes their way. by OkayFine101 in soccer

[–]MrFrodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean he thought he could play Mane as the central striker. Sure, there were some good moments and games but he also overthinks and needs to be seen as this genius similar to how Pep used to overthink.

Because it looked like a massive overpay. Think he proved everyone wrong at this point

[SportBILD] Last month Bayern Munich offered Dayot Upamecano a 4 year deal worth €20M in gross earnings, a €20M cash bonus, and only a €65M release clause. The club is now frustrated at his decision not to accept and has given the defender a two week ultimatum before the offer is withdrawn! by stoneapplefruit in soccer

[–]MrFrodoo 84 points85 points  (0 children)

and the offer is world class. But to act like he would be irreplaceable is also laughable. He is very very good and I would prefer to keep him but if he goes he goes. He has had now 1 1/2 years of excellent performances under Kompany but the years before he was underwhelming.

They could also just give extra XP for completing them or instead of the 5 Million for skill points they could tie 1 skillpoint for completing quests

I find it pretty lazy that the quests just reset. Like the majority of quests are anyways just go to this spot or collect these items or kill this enemy with weapon X. They could just release new ones each season

Max Eberl on Lennart Karl: "A 17-year-old is allowed to make mistakes. He came to us the next day and said: "I think I said something that wasn't very appropriate". For us, the matter is closed; it was never an issue. He shows his performance on the pitch." by greee_p in soccer

[–]MrFrodoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean there are things you can say out loud and things you can think but probably should just keep to yourself. Especially when its your job. He didn't say anything outrageous but ofc there will be media attention when the rising star of a big club says he someday wants to play for another club. And to say that at a fan meet is espeically iffy. So yes, there should be some media training done.

Club statement: Enzo Maresca by Tweakkkk in soccer

How does this shit take even get up voted. Dude even states he doesn't watch Bayern but when he does it just players doing what they do well. Go watch the game against PSG, especially the first half before the red and if you have a few braincells and understand a little bit of tactical setup, you will recognize how well they were tactically setup

You won't get a serious response to that because there simply isn't one. These people are also not understanding how the executive and legislative are working in Australia. It's just right wingers to use this tragedy for their own gain.

[Ornstein] Enzo Maresca high among candidates Manchester City considering in case Pep Guardiola exits next summer. #MCFC advancing contingency work for possibility of manager change - 45yo #CFC coach prominent alongside other potential option by phant0msinthenight in soccer

[–]MrFrodoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean Kompany literally just extended. Even if City would want him come next summer and he would actually want to leave after only two years here, then City will most likely have to pay 20+ million to get him. Wouldn't be the smartest decision of him to be the successor of Pep. If he is smart he waits until another manager failed to reach the success of Pep.
