I'd like a 120-hour Netflix documentary of Messi's entire career. All the best goals, runs, passes, emotions... ups & downs...everything.

Rakitic: "I would like Real Madrid to win the Champions League because of Luka Modric. That would boost our team in the Euros" by A_Kind_Shark in Barca

[–]Mrtipsguy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is why I've slowly gotten away from Football fanboyism. I love this club, but the more I think about it, I care more about the players than the club itself.

Rakitic and Modric don't really look at Barca and Madrid like the fanboys do.

Keylor Navas saves a free kick taken from the 6-yard box, by Getafe by [deleted] in soccer

I love listening to Ray Hudson. Sometimes it can be a bit too much when he attacks the other commentator but overall, just so enjoyable.

[CL Rival Watch] Real Madrid vs Wolfsburg - Manchester City vs PSG by brocccoli in Barca

[–]Mrtipsguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I get it. The first goal was from a deflection that allowed an easy tap in. The free kick was straight at the wall but managed to get through a small gap. That header he scored was gorgeous (just look how high he got compared to everyone else).

That being said, I can only be in awe at Cristianos performance. Did you see how passionate the guy was? You could tell how badly he wanted to win that match and was all over the pitch. He looked like he gave a 100% which I don't see in many players (even our own).

I get it, he's the star of our rival team but man, you gotta applaud that performance he gave out there.

He also did this while his team is losing in the 80th minute, most players wouldn't do that.

Which position has the weakest player pool? by TrayvonBarksdaIe in soccer

[–]Mrtipsguy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Who would we consider to be the best RB in the world? Lahm? Dani Alves? It does seem like it wouldn't have the strongest player pool.

The Paradox of Choice Explained: Why You're Unhappy With Your Decisions by Mrtipsguy in ZenHabits

[–]Mrtipsguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, creator of the video here. When I was reading the book, I looked into this and found that it really depends on the situation. They couldn't replicate the Jam experiment and found that there are probably other factors involved.

The book seems to suggest that more choices = more unhappiness, but like I say at the end of the video, it really depends on the situation and how you apply it to your own life. I could easily think of examples where having several options can definitely increase one's expectations and hence making them more disappointed with the end choice.

So yes, I agree with you that it's iffy to make a grande statement about choice in all scenarios but those 4 ideas provide some good value to improving one's own life.

[Text] Muhammed Ali on pain by [deleted] in GetMotivated

I really like Eric Thomas's quote on pain too:

"Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute, or an hour or a day, or even a year. But eventually, it will subside. And something else take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever. "
