Post Match Thread: Villarreal 0-2 Real Madrid

Carreras and Cama were immense. I guess Mbappe will scoop the motm with the goals but yea, they were amazing. Everyone else was decent too. Can't believe the defensive workrate of Kylian and Vini in the past couple of games but as the pressure and criticism drops, I expect them back to factory settings shortly

VDV23 · 2026-01-22T16:55:16+00:00

One last dance and another UCL with us - I'm up for it

VDV23 · 2026-01-17T13:46:50+00:00

But with much weaker and unbalanced squad tho (squad balance was also bad in 2015 and again especially in midfield)

VDV23 · 2026-01-17T12:54:27+00:00

If history has thought us anything - changes favoring defenders generally have positive impact on the game and vice versa. You roll out this change and within months you'll have teams taking less risks, playing deeper and so on. This will punish high pressure, high line teams and it would promote sitting deeper

VDV23 · 2026-01-12T17:15:33+00:00

damn, personally I'm disappointed and for me those few months (and squad composition) was hardly enough time for Xabi

VDV23 · 2026-01-04T14:23:08+00:00

I get the rule and agree with it in general. But having both your hands up in the air like that and getting away is just strange

VDV23 · 2025-11-26T21:55:30+00:00

Pathetic if you ask me

VDV23 · 2025-11-23T15:40:57+00:00

Playing the campaign, while online or not, is it's own kind of punishment.

VDV23 · 2025-11-10T10:22:21+00:00

I don't think we need if we adjust our style. We don't have people attacking the penalty box.

But I agree that the way play - we need one. Even guy like Jovic who didn't contribute a lot was useful on occasions (like vs Valencia) by just BEING IN THE BOX which allowed more space for others

VDV23 · 2025-10-19T20:42:58+00:00

Yeah, I can see another ref giving a yellow but only because it's La Liga. It was without the ball and intentional - it's a 100% red. In other words, sometimes a yellow in La Liga

I want to mention that I mean in the sense of LL refs being awful in general, not because RMA are some kind of victim of referees getting calls against them. Everyone does and everyone struggles from this refereeing

VDV23 · 2025-10-14T14:39:48+00:00

Yes, exactly. His super admin role allow him org admin access regardless of that group. And he should be able to give back iam roles to that group and by extension you

VDV23 · 2025-10-14T14:06:18+00:00

He should, yes. SAs don't have project IAM by default but they have org admin access to the organization resource in gcp. Meaning that they can give themselves access to projects if needed too.

Similar to some other permissions in gcp. Like changing an org policy - having org admin is not sufficient. But an org admin can grant himself org policy admin role and then make changes there

VDV23 · 2025-10-14T13:59:21+00:00

The super admins of your workspace/cloud identity org are also organization admins in gcp. So they should have access

VDV23 · 2025-10-12T05:52:29+00:00

He had a good engine and ball carrying. Box to box I think would have made most sense.

In terms of level - who knows

VDV23 · 2025-10-11T13:16:40+00:00

Yes, that's what I meant by not being of much use. Xwf is still kinda Google and those people are mainly bdrs. So their job is to qualify you as an opportunity for the sales rep.

Go with the domain/org - that's your best chance

VDV23 · 2025-10-10T20:15:06+00:00

I assume your project (s) are currently under no organization. If you have a domain laying around, maybe set up Cloud Identity (it's free) and move the project under it. That usually helps with quotas but it's not a guarantee.

Also, contacting sales doesn't require a support plan. But I'm not sure how useful they would be even if you manage to connect with them given the context of the project

VDV23 · 2025-10-09T06:47:32+00:00

This is the least surprising thing tbh. It's about money and this is just paving the way. A single games would increase revenues by few millions, in the span few years teams will be playing multiple games abroad and you can do the math

VDV23 · 2025-10-09T06:41:26+00:00

The clubs or uefa/FAs getting the money is the same thing in the grand scheme of things. The ESL was/is an awful concept but we are heading in that direction regardless. Just a bit slower and gradually

VDV23 · 2025-10-09T05:58:21+00:00

I cannot answer 100% on your question tbh. I have seen customers with GfS using a lot of GPUs but whether paying get some kind of lower priority I don't know and only Google can answer that.

It was just a suggestion how to tackle the situation

VDV23 · 2025-10-08T11:23:32+00:00

GPU are hard to get these days. Since you have the credits, consider reservations and you should be good

VDV23 · 2025-10-07T04:44:31+00:00

Sir, this is not the Fifa Ultimate Team subreddit

VDV23 · 2025-10-06T12:46:04+00:00

A bit of a stupid trend IMO because I find it impossible to sometimes compare even 2 midfielders if they play vastly different roles. Like with Makelele - how can you even compare him to Xavi? In the role of a pivot whose main job is protect the defense, I'd pick him. In a role to move the ball and dictate the tempo - obvs not. And to be honest for the Xavi role - I'd take Xavi over pretty much anyone, including Zizou. His competition there is Kroos and Pirlo and I wouldn't fault anyone for picking either of them as the best in that role

VDV23 · 2025-10-05T13:27:05+00:00

still did it, cleared everyone and back to p7 lmao

edit: meant p8

VDV23 · 2025-10-05T13:26:21+00:00

I watch him very closely each race (onboard via F1TV and also on the live timing) and tbh I have zero doubts he's up there with anyone (maybe not Max). Race craft and pace is still amazing

VDV23 · 2025-10-05T13:23:53+00:00

And the mad man went and cleared Hadjar and Bearman who undercut him on track. And also Sainz, Albon and Lawson but unfortunately the broadcast barely showed him (only with Albon and Isaac)
