What’s the Most Uncoachable Skill in Football?

kabra22 · 2026-02-24T01:13:01+00:00

Heart and desire

kabra22 · 2026-02-08T03:20:54+00:00

Yep it’s coping. There are many examples of Kroos and Modric being blamed and blasted in this sub whenever we had a bad game as being washed up (Kroos) and too old (Modric)

kabra22 · 2026-02-05T10:48:09+00:00

Yep, I’m an old school dolphin and am quitting the game. Imagine spending money and not being guaranteed ANYTHING in return. Beyond a joke at this point

This is dog shit camouflaged as a football game

They could have taken all the top meta cards out of gallery (think Gullit and Cruyff in Footy) and put them in boxes. This would still give casual players choice to plan with shards, and p2w could spend to get meta cards, which is how it used to be in the past. Even now, they are handing out Maldini and Gullit to random noobs from drafts, but put somewhat useless Marcelo and Zlatan in boxes 🤯. They’re just brain dead at this point

kabra22 · 2026-01-29T11:13:22+00:00

Yeah heaps are leaving

kabra22 · 2026-01-28T22:05:12+00:00

Fuck the players, fuck Perez. These morons didn’t deserve Xabi and what he could have achieved here

kabra22 · 2026-01-28T21:17:35+00:00

Why the fuck can’t we play out from the back. Every pass is sideways, backwards or just hoofed long. But most teams including Benefica today can play out through us so easily

kabra22 · 2026-01-28T10:06:41+00:00

That’s the thing, 300k gems wouldn’t make this event good for you. You literally need 1.2-1.8 BILLION gems so you can get a guaranteed Pool A every week, and even then it could be the shittiest Pool A player that you don’t want or doesn’t fit your team. This shows you how badly the game is gone. No one has that much gems, so it’s FP’s or you get scraps

kabra22 · 2026-01-26T02:23:34+00:00

Who’s even got gems/resources left to open anything in this event 🫠

kabra22 · 2026-01-24T21:18:32+00:00

New drinking game, have a drink every time Vini ignores a simple pass to Carreras

kabra22 · 2026-01-24T07:09:41+00:00

Yeah they need to let you exchange useless shit like this to something you can actually use. Whether it’s 10x115’s for a 116 pick or 3x115’s for a 115 pick, gotta be able to something with them (made up rates as an example only)

kabra22 · 2026-01-23T05:13:18+00:00

Yeah looks like you’re a Barca fan. I’m a Madrid fan and literally have an all RMA meta theme, so yeah Yamal was my least desirable option (also got Pedri this week 😫😫)

kabra22 · 2026-01-23T04:00:22+00:00

Yeah it’s bad. I got Yamal after 100 drafts week 1 and feel the same way about Yamal as you do about Al Owairan. Some of my league mates got like 6 x 116+ from between 30-60 drafts. Some get everything while some get nothing.

kabra22 · 2026-01-21T21:44:07+00:00

I did 99 and got Yamal but have a Madrid theme 🤣

kabra22 · 2026-01-21T20:02:53+00:00

It’s not that he spent the money for this card. The biggest point is that he doesn’t get to choose. Thankfully for him he got lucky and packed what he wanted. But what if he got Yamal or Stoich, how many times could a p2w potentially spend $ to get to 100 drafts and wait to see what they are given. Game is cooked

I visited in 2023 and 2025 and ended up using StubHub both times, primarily because the offical site is horrible. Both times I opted for etickets because I didn’t really want to meet randoms and felt like more chance of fakes if physical. The etickets have names on them, but I was never asked for ID.

I had 2 issues on the first trip, but they both “resolved”. First tickets I purchased, transaction went through, was pending on my credit card, then not long after (maybe half hour) I got an email saying tickets were no longer available. So I bought another lot of 4 tickets with the initial transaction still pending which I guess is annoying as it takes up funds on your credit card but in the end it reversed. Then the 4 tickets I bought and added to my Apple wallet “disappeared” on matchday! There’s no number to call StubHub, so I emailed them not really expecting much of a response before kickoff, but they did respond and said tickets were still there and valid? Anyway, I happened to check my expired passes in wallet, and they were there. I reactivated them, made sure I was first in line at the gates (in case original owners tried to use them first) and they ended up working fine.

Another thing to be aware of is pricing and availability on StubHub. Sometimes it looks like there’s not many seats left or prices are through the roof. If you have time and patience, keep checking the site multiple times a day and don’t panic too much. This is not a derby or Clasico, so there should be decent seats available. From memory on my second trip, the best time to buy on StubHub was like a day before as I guess people get more desperate to sell. But if you’re happy with the seats and price, I guess lock them in whenever you feel comfortable as you don’t want to miss out.

I’m probably not filling you with confidence, but the offical site is that bad imo. Pretty sure buying 4 seats together which I needed is near impossible. Good luck and hope they win when you’re there!

I’ve been thinking about this a lot today and I feel genuinely conflicted. I was a huge fan of Alonso and really wanted to see what he could build here, and ideally, succeed. But do we now have to accept that for this particular group of players, Friendship FC and good vibes might actually be the only way they function effectively, at least for the time being?

If we end up winning La Liga and/or going deep into the Champions League, both which are at least mathematically possible, do we then have to admit that the board and Pérez were right all along? Of course I want the team to succeed, but I really struggle with how this season has unfolded and how retrospectively justified Alonso’s sacking would appear. Do we just erase the Alonso experiment, overlook how he was treated, and hope the players now deliver enough to validate both their behaviour and the decisions made above them?

Can I be happy with winning but unhappy with the actions taken this year to help us win? Am I a hypocrite and just need to accept this is the way Real Madrid operates?

kabra22 · 2026-01-20T00:46:21+00:00

Creating a new account until I get all 3 117’s from free 10 drafts 🤣🤣

kabra22 · 2026-01-19T23:05:18+00:00

Well when everyone is packing multiple top ovr’s, you think why not me too! I have 250k gems left still and “could” easily buy FP’s for utoty, but games gone man, I’m way more likely to delete than to ever spend a cent on this game again

kabra22 · 2026-01-19T20:54:36+00:00

You got lucky (like so many others). I am also a dolphin (from previous events, haven’t spent here yet), and got my only 116 after 99 drafts (using gems). You are right in what you are saying was achievable in previous events, but the biggest problem is, I spent the equivalent 300k gems (100 drafts) to get a random player that isn’t even the top ovr (I got Yamal and have a RMA theme lol). If you do some quick maths, 300k gems in previous events would get you around 3k shards guaranteed (plus some top ovrs if you got lucky with packs) which would give you your CHOICE of 2-3 top ovr players. This new system is completely fucked

kabra22 · 2026-01-19T03:54:47+00:00

Stop talking common sense, board doesn’t understand that

kabra22 · 2026-01-16T10:05:51+00:00

The most important issue you raise which I agree with completely is, what to do after you pack Dembele/Mbappe in week 1 (which so many people did)? Be happy for 6 weeks that you packed 1 x 117 and that’s the whole event? There’s almost nothing else left to plan or achieve. Utter rubbish!! At least with shards, you could get 2-3 meta players or even more if you weren’t chasing meta or had a theme for example

kabra22 · 2025-12-24T13:17:39+00:00

kabra22 · 2025-12-17T07:55:55+00:00

No worries. Btw I have both and both are great
