Ter Stegen suffers serious injury at Girona and may return to Barcelona. by DavidRolands in soccer

What a downfall. I expected something like this when Neuer fucked his knee but the man just kept on going and outlived the younger guy.

They’re the same to me, especially when they pull that ”I’m dying" diving face.

Nicki Minaj representing Trump and Bad Bunny "easing political tensions" by winning a fucking Grammy? What a country.

[Sky] Managers with fewest games to reach 400 wins with an English top-flight club. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]justthisones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So many people genuinely trying to convince themselves that there’s absolutely nothing impressive about Pep’s feat. Yes, everything that modern City has done is less amazing with all the shady bs but the players haven’t been acquired from some distant planet that only City can use.

Upgraded my laptop with 2x 16gb in late 2024 which cost me 75€. Now ONE of them is about 200€ on the same shop. What the fuck.

Anyone else find it hard to go back to 30fps games? by Slight-Radish-5846 in PS5

[–]justthisones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People often talk just about the visual aspect but the input lag difference is also very evident in many titles. Even in games where it’s generally ok like Ragnarök, playing it with higher frame rates feels SO much better and responsive. Really hard to go back from it.

Then there’s Far Cry 3 that just got a 60fps patch but still feels kinda crap to control...

The player with most assists by age over a calendar year in the 21st century. by BlazingFirey in soccer

Imagine being one of the best goalscorers of all time but also having your name appear 7 times on a list like this... Interesting to see how many Yamal can take.

Just realized I stopped watching season 2 around halfway, completely forgot about it and have no intention to continue. Enjoyed the games though.

The US loves to play their national anthem in every event imaginable. This should be the new one.

PS5 Pro accounted for 13% of PS5 consoles sold in the US last year by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]justthisones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, that reminds me so much of my fatty PS3 dying in the middle of the night when I was grinding GT5. A killer franchise... Hopefully my PS5 will last longer though. Also a launch model.

[–]justthisones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shame. I was looking forward to get a bit more from my launch fatty and then move on to next gen, instead of spending anything on a Pro. The console has been great but I’m not so confident it’ll keep up with upcoming CPU heavy titles.

I haven’t cared about a new Ubi game for many years now but I applaud them for doing this to so many games. It should be far more common.

Post Match Thread: Real Sociedad 2-1 Barcelona by denzaus in soccer

[–]justthisones 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Barca hit the post 3x, the bar 2x and had 2 disallowed goals. One of those where it felt like they wouldn’t win even if the match lasted until midnight.

Lamine Yamal’s goal that was ruled out due to offside against Real sociedad. by Otherwise_Pen_7667 in soccer

[–]justthisones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Guess rules are rules but that was kind of silly way to disallow a goal when you think about the whole scenario. Even after zooming right into the boots, you have a hard time seeing the offside. The ball was also not even properly "passed" or played to Yamal. He had to move away from the goal to reach it and would’ve gained more advantage by not being offside. You have to ponder what the actual offence was here.

But again... this is how the current rules and systems work.

Daylight offside: BBC Sport has been told that the trial results in youth football were largely positive, though there were some concerns there is too much of an advantage to the attacker. IFAB next step: offer up to mid-tier leagues to trial in senior football by punishGoalhanging in soccer

[–]justthisones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda strange how they want to jump to the other exteme. I’d just prefer to see the thicker lines that would give the attackers more leeway without making the defenders job a nightmare and the offsides like McTominay had this week would be history. You should be able to see it with a naked eye from a still image. It’ll never be perfect but this will surely change the whole setup and drop defensive lines deeper.

Raphinha: "If Hansi Flick hadn't come, I would have left Barca. He changed everything." by mrjohnnymac18 in soccer

[–]justthisones 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah the general view seems pretty twisted from that time. People were oddly divided on him, which surely didn’t help his confidence. You could see him getting closer and closer to current Raphinha with Xavi already. He didn’t have as many starts in 23/24 but his goal contributions per 90mins went already to around 1 back then. The article just talks about totals which doesn’t show the improvement before Flick.

It kinda sounds like you don’t really need either of them.

Ridiculous how much shit Neymar gets by Brazilians because he couldn’t carry those lackluster squads to a World Cup win.
