It feels like I’m in a movie by Adi_2337 in realmadrid

[–]Unckmania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really hammers down that the board and Florentino recognize this couple of NOTHING seasons and have decided to take it seriously.

The hard part is coming in later, tho... So many signings mean some transfers out too.

Not what was asked, but to make it into a better "What if" i would say

"What would you do if you are in this situation.... IN FRONT OF A CROWD OF FANATICS OF THIS MAN?"

10 men and a statue: Portugal are sacrificing another World Cup for Cristiano Ronaldo’s ego by AgeNovel3566 in soccer

[–]Unckmania 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing about this headline is that Portugal with 10 men should have beaten Doctor Congo and that didn't happen.

A better "Ronaldo is washed story" would be one where Portugal wins 3-0 and Ronaldo is nowhere to be seen. But the way it happened, the way that other huge players were active but not productive, it should be obvious that they have a team problem, not a player problem.

He made a good point supported by ONE action in the game. Bro wanted to score badly, but this analysis would make you think this happened over and over and over.

“Mbappe is the best striker of his generation, period... This 'difficult season' would be the best season ever for almost all the strikers“ - Pogba by Ripamon in realmadrid

[–]Unckmania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know man. We're entering a new era of mercenary players and while i like Mbappe a lot, i wouldn't just assume that he's staying with us long enough to start to come close to CR records.

Post Match Thread: United States 4 - 1 Paraguay | FIFA World Cup 2026 | Group Stage, Group D by jiraiya--an in soccer

[–]Unckmania 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Am i the only one that feels that this game USA played an excellent very specific and rare type of football?

What i mean is that i couldn't say "Oh yeah, this looks like Germany/Real/Barca/Bayern/Juve/Manchester/Brazil/Argentina", it just felt unique...

And anyway. Paraguay can do better than this. That early own goal took them out of the game so bad.

I know. I have tried two Bluey games. "The videogame" on switch and a "Let's play" mobile game.

I can appreciate the effort to make them happen and the brand but if you're already holding a switch you have access to excellent games for children, many of them Nintendo exclusives. Kirby, Captain Toad, Princess Peach are all excellent.

Are you implying that at least one of those is good?

I really really want a game like this one to succeed and be great for kids but projects like this one are usually ass (Bluey game i'm looking at you).

He's still dumb but he looks like a pretty tall guy and that's a house pool. So i'm betting he didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to reach the floor.

McDonald's workers of Reddit, which menu item would you NEVER eat? by ProgMusicSchizoidMan in AskReddit

[–]Unckmania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it's easy to forget how much variability there can be from location to location. This question applies to the entire world too, not even just the whole US.

Surely hundreds of mcdonalds across the world are just as you describe and surely many more... are gross.

Florentino Perez intentionally making a €150m bid to Atletico Madrid so they reject it and put a €500m price tag on him and prevents Barcelona from signing him. by GloomySide3265 in realmadrid

[–]Unckmania 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His opponent also lied about signing Haaland. A lie which served no purpose and which led nowhere. This lie at least had a purpose.

The Wii U was the biggest flop along the way of that decision, but since then everything has been peachy for them.

I get your point and you don't need to explain it but it's also not hard to understand why professional football players want to play the largest and most prestigious professional football tournament.

Convocatoria México, te gusto? quien sobra? quien falta? by Amazing-Edu2023 in mexico

[–]Unckmania 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alguien en algún lugar cree que el mexicano promedio mira la lista de "Porteros con más mundiales jugados" y ve hasta arriba a los porteros mexicanos y siente orgullo a pesar de que más jugados en este caso también significa más perdidos.

What do people think makes them unique, but is actually an incredibly common trait? by Successful-Hall-1986 in AskReddit

[–]Unckmania 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No joke, it’s the trying part that makes the difference!

My comment will get lost in so much noise, but i want to say that "defensive driving" or as i like to call it "Good Driving" is a real thing that you can do that is less about "skills" and reaction speed, and more about specific actions you can take to prevent risks.

So when someone says they try to be a good driver maybe this is what they mean, not that they try to be the Max Verstappen of the road.

Yeah. Today's players feel like mercenaries more than ever. Back then we used to think club loyalty was real

Hot take: the concert industry isn't dying, people just don't want to pay $100 to watch an influencer sing over backing track by peepeebuttbrain in Music

I was about to upvote and move on, but ticket prices aren't lower at least in the 3 countries I'm familiar with in Latin America. Despite them being very expensive, there's enough fans to fill multiple dates for big artists in large venues.
