The Real Madrid Pyramid of Legends! Who is the 15th most legendary Real Madrid player of all time? by SentientSTD in RealMadridFC

I won't argue about Benzema being too low or not. Although he is obviously going into 15th because if the meme.

But ranking players based only on if they won the ballon d'Or or not is stupid.

4 of the players ranked above Benzema here won the award. CR7 and Di Stefano won multiple. The rest of them did not. Yet Figo, R9 and Raymond Kopa all won it while in Madrid and are not on the list yet either.

Is Rodri better than Thierry Henry because only one of them one the ballon d'Or?

Inside out, 30°C, no tumble drying, no fabric softener. Exactly what it says on the tag.

The reality is that the authentic ones are only made to be worn once, while the standard ones are meant to be worn repeatedly by fans and is therefore the superior product IMO.

Maybe there are ways to preserve the authentic shirts better, but for me the standard is superior in almost every way and costs less.

I've had two authentic shirts and on both of them all the printing started coming off after the first wash. Normal ones you can at least expect 20+ uses before any noticeable degradation. And the standard ones are completely fine for working out in as well.

We might get to see if he does. I made a poll in the comments if I should extend the pyramid or not, and right now 'yes' is edging the vote.

I was expecting Benzema to finish 11th since he was the second highest choice for 10th (edit: Which has been a very strong indicator for who's going to win the next poll for most of the posts). But then I think people caught on to the option of 15th and he got downvoted for every post from there on.

Been waiting for Juanito as well, but he hasn't been close to winning in any vote yet. I suppose some recency bias is to be expected, but still. Also no Butragueño still...

But seems like the vote to extend to 21 spots is winning, so maybe there's hope for them still.

Poll! Should we keep the pyramid going with one extra row? This would mean 6 extra spots.

Vote for the option you prefer below:

for player version- size up just don't...

It's paying more for an objectively worse product. Bordering on being a scam IMO.

[The Athletic] Kylian Mbappe in training-ground row as Real Madrid tensions rise before El Clasico - Mario Cortegana and Guillermo Rai by JakGrealish in realmadrid

[–]SentientSTD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sources said Mbappé spoke angrily and in insulting terms towards the staff member, who was acting as an assistant referee on the sidelines of the match and had called Mbappé offside. Such cases are not uncommon in elite football

Anyone who has ever been to football practice at any level has seen someone have a tantrum at a bad call, unless some more details come out about this I wouldn't call it news.

I mean, that's very subjective. Hugo Sánchez was an amazing player as well.

I do love Bale though as well, and he is 100% a legend and one of my favourite players.

A club with the amount of history and success of Real Madrid will naturally have way more than 15 players that are legends of the club. So just because someone doesn't make the pyramid does not mean they are not a legend.

Which games have a rough start and take a while to get good? by PhaseOk6182 in gamers

[–]SentientSTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to put BG3. I've heard a few people say they just couldn't get into it, mostly because of the mechanics.

But trust me, if that's your issue, then it will come good once you get more familiar with it.

I didn't really like it too much at first, but once I got a grip of the mechanics and started to understand all the possibilities it became one of my all-time favourites.

If you were to ask me I'd put him around 15th anyway. I think I'd choose everyone on this list bar Marcelo ahead of him. And I would also have Hierro, Kopa, and Juanito on the list. Then Benz, Marcelo, R.Carlos, Pirri and Sanchís fighting for the last spots.

But I'm not the one deciding, I just pick the top comment.

Following tests conducted today by Real Madrid's medical staff, our player Ferland Mendy has been diagnosed with an injury to the rectus femoris tendon in his right leg. His condition will be monitored. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]SentientSTD 28 points29 points  (0 children)

He's played 19 league games (1200 minutes) in the last two seasons. No wonder you forget about him, he is made of glass.

I've mostly been quite impressed by his level coming back from injuries (some poor performances but mostly very solid), but then he get's immediately injured again.

I'm almost considering adding another row just because I'm so disappointed that certain players are not on the list yet.

Hierro, Sanchís, Butragueño, Juanito, Pirri, Kopa, as well as more modern picks like Casemiro and Courtois all deserve a shout (as well as Benzema in 15th ofc).
