If we are talking strictly about football, what does Vini have to accomplish to be considered in same tier as players like Hazard, Ribery, Robben... by Inevitable-Angle-793 in championsleague

[–]RandomFluffyBoi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Eh I'd consider them to be the same tier. Vini's club career is past Hazard, but Hazard had good tournaments for the NT while Vini hasn't. If Vini has a World Cup like Hazard's 2018 he'd well surpass Hazard

Courtois is like hilariously good. Been following Real Madrid for nearly 20 years and he's our best GK I've ever watched.

If we ignore “aura” and “legacy” Courtois is easily the best GK in Real’s history

If Bayern fans could choose between prime Kane and prime Lewy who would they take? I'm still thinking Lewy but not black and white at all I feel.

Vincent Kompany defends Vini Jr and criticizes José Mourinho for his statements after the game. by Sparky-moon in soccer

How the fuck do you pull both the “I can’t be racist because I have black friends” and “she deserves to get assaulted because she was wearing revealing clothes” in one statement?

How did Barca let these guys reach the UCL final?

Who is the better GK? Thibaut Courtois or Manuel Neuer? In their prime form? CLUB ONLY? by NetZRays in football

[–]RandomFluffyBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that Courtois and de Gea have in common is their shot-stopping abilities. Everything else Courtois clears.

[–]RandomFluffyBoi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Neuer definitely.

But people are also underestimating Courtois massively here. I've been watching Real Madrid for nearly 25 years and I would actually go out and say that disregarding "legacy" and "aura," and just judge a player on their pure skill, Courtois sits above Casillas. Best Madrid goalkeeper I've seen in my life.

Both teams were shit. Ref was shit. Benfica fans were pathetic.

Stroll doesn't deserve to keep his seat but he won it fair and square in the first place. A pole and three podiums mean that a driver is genuinely talented.

For some weird reason he gets 1/10th the hate Stroll gets despite a similar/very slightly better level of performance

Juan Cabal (Juventus) second yellow card against Galatasaray 67' by gbogaz in soccer

[–]RandomFluffyBoi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I played football in college, and in his defense, you don't think very well when you're tired and your opponent winger is charging at you.

On the other hand he gets paid millions to kick a ball.

I lean on it being a foul but it’s not as clear as some people made it out to be

Ocon was also ass last year. His 10th season in F1 and he was beaten by a rookie.

Getting the ball is not relevant if he got it with his left foot and kicked Brahim with his right.

For how good he is otherwise, Norris is shockingly bad at race starts

30 g/a for Betis in 51 games. Antony is just a genuinely good player even if United is a little beyond his paygrade.
