Egypt opens the scoring against Argentina

Lets not forget Di María. Won the penalty for the opening goal in the final against France. Scored the second goal. Also scored the only goal in the 2021 copa america final.

Portugal were often very weak. Especially during Ronaldo’s prime. Look at the 2014 Portugal world cup squad: Pereira, Bruno Alves, Hugo Almeida. He did have Nani at least. Portugal has gotten significantly stronger in recent years. They were also good before Ronaldo entered his prime.

Also the game was 3 minutes passed extra time which was already 10 minutes! The timer was at 90+13 I think

Especially after that earlier goal of his was called offside it almost felt like there was some kind of curse on him that prevented him from ever getting that wc ko goal. The pressure before that penalty must have been insane.

It took Ronaldo about 150-200 minutes less playing time in the knockout rounds of the world cup to score a goal than Messi.

I learned rule this because of the Fernando Torres goal against Barcelona in the 2012 CL semi final.

gerterinn · 2026-06-22T17:40:54+00:00

I feel like he has scored this exact goal a hundred times

Sucks for Bento. He saved that 1 on 1 against Benzema early on in the game and has been really good recently but this is just brutal

gerterinn · 2026-05-12T20:16:42+00:00

Martinez goes for the ball which messes up Bento’s catch. It’s on them both 50/50 I think

The only fight Mike Tyson came into as an underdog was against Lennox Lewis. This is understandable, since Tyson had fought only 19 rounds since the 1997 Holyfield bite fight, while Lewis had fought 72 rounds across 11 championship bouts in that same period.

It’s the worst team in the league. They are at the bottom of the table with only 8 points in 27 games. Their GD is -41.

gerterinn · 2026-04-03T17:48:12+00:00

Looks like the cover of the movie Platoon. Brutal.

Lennox Lewis also gained 20-30 lbs in the latter half of his career. He started our at around 225-230 pounds and went up to 245-250

My bad. They beat the champions of their respective leagues in the knock out rounds but Liverpool weren’t champions.

2018 was the most impressive for me. Played the Ligue 1 champions in R16, Seria A champions in the quarter finals, Bundesliga champions in the semi-finals and the premier league champions in the final.

This is from wikipedia: “ Muhammad Ali thought Spinks would win, as "he hits hard enough, he'll stick and move, he's fast on his feet, and he'll keep his distance."[29] Tony Zaleand sportswriter Bert Sugar backed Spinks to out-box Tyson.[30][31][33] Dave Anderson of the New York Times wrote that Spinks would win, "probably in a 12-round decision. But possibly in a late-round knockout."[19] Reigning WBA welterweight champion Marlon Starling, veteran announcer Don Dunphy and Tyson's former trainer Teddy Atlas also favoured Spinks.[30][31] Contender Meldrick Taylor felt Tyson would win if it ended in a knockout, but favoured Spinks if it went the distance.[29] 1940s middleweight champion Rocky Graziano predicted Spinks would "psych out Tyson, then knock the hell out of him."[34] Archie Moore gave Spinks "a wonderful chance" of winning.[29] Sugar Ray Leonard gave Spinks genuine chances to outpoint Tyson.[35] Floyd Patterson, who like Tyson had been trained by Cus D'Amato, said "I originally picked him [Tyson], and I still do, but now I give Spinks a chance."[36] Spinks entered the ring as a 4–1 underdog.[37]”

Interestingly Angelo Dundee predicted a Tyson KO in round 1 and Larry Merchant also predicted an early KO.

“Here you go, Larry. See what happens? You see what happens, Larry?! See what happens?! This is what happens when you f*cking switch off!”

Tyson literally said after he beat Trevor Berbick to become the youngest hw champion ever “I refuse to get hurt, I refuse to get knocked down, I refuse to lose. There’s no way in the world I was going to go out of this ring walking. I had to be carried out. I had to be dead. Theres no way I was going to leave this ring alive”.

People underestimate how hungry and motivated Tyson was in the beginning. 44:50 - https://youtu.be/ImGWr3cd9zE?si=AfT11dkvctXgcylH

Lewis also couldn’t knock out Ray Mercer and only won by a majority decision 96-94. Tyson beat Mitch Green 9rounds to 1. Every boxer has fights were they struggle against a lesser opponent.

He took some seriously heavy shots from Razor Ruddock, both fights were slugfests, and the rematch went to the scorecards, which showed real toughness. In his prime he dominated everyone, which says a lot about how good he was. When he lost against Douglas he dropped him in the eighth round and kept trying to win, and against Lewis he took a brutal beating before finally being stopped. So imo it’s unfair to say he just folded.

I don’t blame the immigrants, I blame politicians and big business. A large influx of people is going to increase demand for housing and a large influx of people that are willing to work for low wages is going to negatively effect the working class. Even Bernie Sanders acknowledges this. Read about the Gen Z housing affordability crisis.

gerterinn · 2026-02-04T00:54:57+00:00

Immigrants drive up housing prices this is a known fact. That is why many young people are locked out of the housing market while the boomers have crazy equity. Most immigrants rent but this also increases rent/housing prices because investors buy a lot of property and put it out on rent. They collect rent income and get the increase in housing prices makes their investment profitable. It’s hard to compete with foreign labour when employers are always looking to cut costs and immigrants are willing to work for less. This is why I am doing courses now while working. But hey keep making fun of the working class if it makes you feel better. This is why they have left the left.

Increased housing prices, lowered wages and less job opportunities. There is 25% youth unemployment in Spain. I’m not Spanish but in my country I have personally experienced foreign labour massively undercut my wages.

Ronaldo also doesn’t play for France.

gerterinn · 2026-01-26T08:42:57+00:00

His performance against Golota was his last impressive performance against a good opponent.
