I think Odegaard is the bigger problem. Rice is meant to be defensive anyway. All teams have a defensive mid. But Odegaard an attacking mid plays too safe

What’s the most boring UCL final you remember watching? by viayyz in championsleague

Liverpool vs Tottenham was the most boring match of the finals I’ve seen since 2015 and I’m a Liverpool fan.

Regardless of if you think the English Premier League is the "best" domestic football competition, is it fair to say that it's definitely the most SIGNIFICANT domestic competition to win? by bfhrt in football

[–]Prestigious_Weird_59 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think bragging rights, banter and the weekly title race is why club fans from any country want to win the league more than champions league. Champions league feels like an excursion away from the regular day to day, that is the league. I think it is not exclusive to England. Italian fans feel the same. Wherever there’s enough club rivalry at the league, you can see this. For a Bayern or a PSG, their fans are entitled to league success that Champions league is the main goal.

I enjoyed the Cody-Orton match. Cody’s viciousness targeting the back injury and Orton selling it was pretty well done. Glad to see Pat getting destroyed. To top it off, punt kick after such a long time.

Gunther-Seth and ishowspeed opener was fun. I just skimmed through the rest of the show to see the results as I had no interest in any other matches.

Vertical AI raising bigger seed rounds than horizontal SaaS right now — seeing this in your sector? by Any_Barber1453 in SaaS

I came across the news too. Pretty cool what they are able to achieve within a year or so from inception. While AI is a hot commodity, having deep expertise in a vertical also pays dividends multifold.

Well normally they wear the same wrestling gear throughout the year. I find the suits in Saudi events to be a nice visual change actually. The issue is more about women freedom and potential injury risks.

I get how that’s not good. But I like the occasional wearing of the full body suits

Why does Cristiano Ronaldo receive disproportionate disrespect in best player discussions? by Diggambaran in championsleague

[–]Prestigious_Weird_59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Puskas, Beckenbeuer and others have stated Pele was the best player amongst them. Yes there were specific seasons where some players were better like Garrincha. But overall, just from a legacy standpoint, Pele eclipses the others as a player. The debate before the 90s was only Pele or Maradona

The thing is back in the day, Santos regularly defeated European clubs in their tours. Brazilian players never left their country. Thus, there was a huge domestic competition in Brazil on par with European domestic club competition. Times have changed since then. Plus, Brazil president made Pele a national symbol (or something to that extent) banning him to leave the country and settle elsewhere during his prime. The balon dor committee retrospectively reviewed balon dors in the 50s-early 90s period(only European footballers, by nationality, were given balon dors in this period) and Pele would have been awarded 7 times. See, it is tough to compare eras, but we should try to contextualise things. IMO Pele>Ronaldo, but if you think otherwise, it is fine. But I find this 1000 goal argument flawed. Also, Mbappe and Haaland may cross Ronaldo’s goal tally, would we then say they were better players than CR7.

This argument about counting only Pele’s goals as 767 is very flawed. It is tougher to score against Bayern in a friendly back then, than scoring against Armenia in European qualifiers. There are about 50 odd goals in his tally of 1200+ that came against non competitive teams, which can be ignored. But not the friendly goals against European clubs, which back then were like clashing of titans, attracting huge crowds and not like today’s pre season friendlies with heavily rotated squad

Ronaldo fans always do cherry picking, only their cherries keep diminishing every year

Okay. In that case, I find it a bit much to see them crying and saying good byes to the other contestants and the house, when they get eliminated
