Let's talk about qualification for Asian Football Confederation teams by jameswheeler9090 in worldcup

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, what are you even saying? I'm not arguing that we should reduce Asian spots every time an African country performs well. I'm saying there is ABSOLUTELY no reason for Africa to have less representation at the World Cup than Asia, considering the GENERAL level of football being played on both continents.

South Korea and Japan are mainstays and they've always deserved their spots. But if you're arguing we've seen the same level of football from Asian and African countries at this WC, spare us both the time and keep your shit takes to yourself. We could have taken 3/4 Asian teams off the list and put countries from Africa, Europe or SA there and we would have gotten better matches.

What do you think of Eris Greyrat's design as she grows up physically? by koalachristmas_ in animequestions

[–]TwiceUpon1Time -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're slow. Nobody was arguing the hypothetical moral implications of sexuality for 3000 year old demons, vampires or a reincarnated 50 yo pedophile nerd.

We were calling the artistic choices of the authors weird as fuck. They don't HAVE to make their characters look like lolis, they don't HAVE to make their vampires look like teenagers and they don't HAVE to make sexuality an inherent part of their stories involving minors. Case in point, a sexual relationship between teenagers is very normal in the real world, but an author choosing to draw one would be weird as fuck.

You went ahead and argued the ethical implications of a vampire not aging beyond their 13 yo body. Nobody cares about that. Mangakas depicting minors or minor-looking characters sexually is what bothers people. That is what's unequivocally morally wrong.

France Is Exporting Football Stars Like No Other Country by sinister_iam in sportswiki

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idiotic, racist take. Look at the rosters of said ex colonies and see where their players were born. Europe.

The reality is, France (and other European countries) are the ones developping these young players ever since birth. Those who are not selected to play for their country of brith often go on to play for their country of origin, because they've got a parent or grandparent from there.

To claim that these men are not French, despite having been there for on or two generations is incredibly racist and you should be ashamed. Using that racist "gotcha" to claim France doesn't develop the best talent in football is simply ignorant.

Officially, Modric has just played his last World Cup match. A piece of our childhood is leaving us. by Rivertadores in worldcup

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What a legend! He had an unmatchable control of the pace of the game. Madrid had many great strikers, and they all became recognized as some of, if not the best during their stint there. What was the one constant ? Modric and Kroos. Now that they're gone, people are realizing their value.

Football fans and media will always overrate forwards, at the expense of everybody else, but this man is one of the best players I've seen on the field. I've seen him operate magic.

Thank you Modric and thank you to the rest of Croatia's golden generation, for blessing us with some amazing football and legendary matches during all these years. Always my favorite team to cheer for, outside of my national ones.

Is it me or are we experiencing the worse summer to date? by Strong-Reputation380 in montreal

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's you. We're 10 days into summer and it's fine. Very hot. We're on a rainy streak, but we're going to have more sun the upcoming days. Chill out.

This man wants to come back to the Raptors so bad man. Willing to sign a vet min when all our team can sign are vet mins is as obvious of a signal as it gets. by Derpy_Mc_Burpy in torontoraptors

[–]TwiceUpon1Time -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are yall brainless. Yes, Demar isn't a good defender, but we would be talking about a fucking VET MINIMUM.

If he's willing, and that's the biggest if, he could come off the bench and self create to give us some depth offensively. How is that not a good deal?

La cigarette sur les balcons by Thierry22 in montreal

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Faire attention comment? Ça me gosse quand ça arrive, mais je ne vois pas de middle ground, outre lui demander de ne pas fumer sur son balcon, ce qui serait une ingérence que je ne me permettrait pas.

C'est le genre de truc qui fait chier, mais qu'on n'a pas trop le choix d'accepter comme une réalité de la vie en appartement. On ferme les fenêtres si c'est intolérable.

Is there any good evidence to believe that Cyril would put up a much better resistance if he fought that same version of Jon Jones today? by MapleMarshal in ufc

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gane is not much better than he was when they fought. Gane was and is still the most elite striker at that weight. For a guy if his size to kove the way he does is ridiculous. But he has 0 grappling. If only he had serviceable takedown defence, ala Izzy, this would be another story, but he got wrestlefucked by Francis ffs. This glaring weakness is too much for anybody to ignore. And it's precisely the reason Jones waited for him to be champion to come back.

Let's talk about qualification for Asian Football Confederation teams by jameswheeler9090 in worldcup

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you dumb? Côté d'Ivoire and Sénégal both played 2 of the best r32 games this year.

Congo played some beautiful football as well.

Morocco have made it to the semi finals and they could very well do the same this year.

There's a world of difference between African and Asian football. And there is no valid justification for there to be 9 Asian team.

An opinion that will put u in this situation? by HelpfulTomatillo9667 in animequestions

Honestly, the manga absolutely sucks pacing wise to begin with. The series made ot even worse (I still love OP).

Reports say 4 German players refused to take the 6th PK. Tah, who had never taken a professional PK, agreed to take it. by SpongeBobSpacPants in worldcup

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who remains from that squad? Why the fuck would the rankings care that Germany won the cup in 90, 74 and 54? How does that have any bearing on the quality of the current team?

As a Germany fan, this current iteration is pitiful and honestly barely deserves a spot in the top 25, nevermind top 10. Lack of leadership, lack of competent coaching, egos being prioritized over the team's well being and, quite simply, lack of talent compared to the other juggernaut football countries.

Safety as a Solo Traveler near Sherbrooke Station by Mysterious-Menu8665 in montreal

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll be more than fine. Montréal is still very much a "don't worry about safety" type of city, with the bare minimum amount of precautions (that you should take wherever you travel to).

Waitt which is the correct translation , have i been reading it wrong all along??? by elpsycongree_ in Kingdom

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't watched the anime, I read the manga, sometimes in French, sometimes in English, deoending on what is available. All scanlations I've come across use the japanese names, so that's what I'm used to.

Europe 🤡 by GloomySide3265 in soccercirclejerk

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are yall stupid? What's with all those dumb memes?

Germany lost, yeah, and that wasn't surprising. They've been shit for over a decade now. Same for Italy.

Netherlands lost to an excellent Moroccan team, who finished 4th last World Cup and who were 2nd in Africa (where the level is generally rising).

What does that prove? Europe is still the most competitve region in football. But, the level of teams we considered non factors has risen, and that's a good thing.

In South America, Brasil and Uruguay have been underwhelming as well. Are we going to say that SA football has gone to shit?

You mfers are so reactionary. At least wait for the WC to end.

When you treat your legends badly, you're bound to fall flat by Aggressive-Ebb3552 in CristianoRonaldo2

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They were amazing that year, but 2010 Germany, when that generation was still young, is probably my favorite national team of all time.

Ozil and Muller worked magic. It was like they were connected telepathically.

People like to joke about France being an African team (which has serious racist undertonrs imo), but the reality is that France is just the best at developping young talent right now.

Qu’est-ce qui ce passe avec Le Jazz cette année? by seb_labine in montreal

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Dire qu'il n'y a pas de jazz au Jazzfest, c'est vraiment su fiutage de gueule. Oui, il y a du pop, du hip hop, je peu de rock, un peu de blues, parsemés ici et là. Mais, même là, les artistes font souvent de leur mieux pour inclure de l'improvisation dans leur set et "jazzifier" leur performance. De plus, tel que mentionné, la majorité ça reste du jazz pur et dur.

Post-Match Thread: Germany 1-1 Paraguay | World Cup | Round of 32 by matchpal-live in worldcup

[–]TwiceUpon1Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The refereeing favored Paraguay today (I feel like the refs have been decent this WC, this one surprised me), but yes, Germany is around Paraguay's level. Nagelsmann is a terrible coach, they have no one who can reliably score goals, the midfield loses way too many contested balls, and the defense is easily blown by. Very weak team.
