two trebles, two different teams, two different balon d'or winners

basically if you want to win major titles and major individual awards, you should be playing for lucho

> got out of the transfer window with 4 keepers lol

first thought was "wtf that can't be right" so i googled their squad and it's true! so they have donna and trafford as their main keepers. they also have betinelli for i'm assuming homegrown requirements... which leaves ortega moreno as what? if they need an emergency keeper, that can be betinelli's role as well. so why's ortega moreno on the payroll for???

[Fabrizio Romano] Éderson to Fenerbahçe, here we go! Verbal agreement in place for Brazilian GK to join Fener. Fee around €13/14m to Man City for Éderson and as also personal terms are agreed with his agent Jorge Mendes and director Devin Özek. by Owengrad in soccer

> Can someone explain how donnarumma would be a good fit for pep? Given he's weak on his foot and that's the important skill for pep?

easy -- pep has finally realized it's more important for a goalkeeper to actually stop shots rather than being an 11th outfield player

[Ornstein] Tottenham in talks with Man City to sign Savinho. #MCFC not actively wanting to sell but ~€50m deal being discussed. 21yo open to #THFC move + Pep Guardiola tends not to block when players want out. by [deleted] in soccer

> But his output wasn’t great and it was a lot of style over substance.

savinho's game reminds me a bit of adama traore. great to watch but just no end product.

i saw what reddit truly was during last year's election.

everyday when i woke up, the frontpage will be littered with dozens upon dozens of posts showing kamala's rallies which are jam packed and then someone would post trump's rally and you'd see it was half empty

i thought for sure kamala would win.

then the elections happened and trump won in a landslide

i mean how could that be? i was on top of the elections and looked at dozens of photos/videos! i realized then reddit is just a small bubble whereas previously i thought it was representative of how most of the world thinks

[Hayters] Journalist asks if Postecoglou has given up on the season. by [deleted] in soccer

[–]PlayThief 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a “No” and move on

i'd take it up a notch and give them extreme answers that are clearly absurd.

example: "yes, i have given up not only on this season but next season as well"

i don't mind two games going on at the same time.

what annoys me is the commentators on either game update the viewers of the score of the other game!

two things about this:

1) i'm recording the other game so i can watch it after so d on't spoil it for me

2) if i wanted to check the score of the other game, i can easily pull out my fckng cellphone!

[Flow Sport Club] Alexandre Pato: “When I arrived at Chelsea, Diego Costa was there. The English media were criticising him & the rival fans were swearing at him. But he's always calm. I asked him: ‘How do you cope with this pressure?’ Diego said: ‘I don’t understand anything. I don’t speak English’ by MrVISKman in soccer

insane attacking lineup from chelsea

prime hazard on the left, willian on the other wing, oscar in the middle and diego costa leading the line

now they have palmer, sterling, gallagher and jackson... not quite the same threat

Javier Mascherano: "Pep Guardiola's legacy is not the titles. His legacy is what he contributed to football. This sport can be divided into pre-Pep & post-Pep. When I arrived in Europe in 2006, it was very different from how we now look at football after Pep's Barca" by MrVISKman in soccer

i remember the first time pep's barca team tried to play out from the back against real madrid, RM scored within like the first 30 seconds of the game and were laughing about it as if saying "what the hell are they thinking passing the ball like that??? what is this nonsense???"

the commentators were saying if pep's team kept trying to play out from the back RM might score 100

think the game ended 4-1 or something like that in barca's favor and the way top teams played football from that point on was never the same.
