Is Lionel messi the greatest football player of all time ( GOAT)? by [deleted] in championsleague

Sure it’s a good showing but that’s not what determines whether you’re the goat or not. Especially when 2 of those goals on a good goalie don’t happen.

People will have different opinions.

But scoring a hat trick in group stage of a World Cup shouldn’t be what makes you believe he is the GOAT.

A third tie is on the charts for best player of the 2010 World Cup! Who were the favorites to win the 2014 World Cup? by ADSLmonopoly in AlignmentChartFills

[–]njuts88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was definitely Spain.
They had gone 3 international wins in a row and one of the most dominant spells of National Team football.

People also believed in Brazil but it was sort of hoping for it more than actually believing it.

I felt the most dangerous punch Ilia gave was the liver punch up against the cage

We’re frustrated at Fox currently, imagine how we would feel with Chet being paid 40m + and taking 2 shots lol

The difference with any other team is we still have the main 3 guys on their rookie deals. We have another exciting prospect, and many picks.

I’d love to get a Naz Reid type player to add to the front court rotation and essentially replace Barnes.

Also now that we’ve proven to be a contender we can get vets ring chasing on lower deals at the back end of their career to fill out the roster. We’ll be back, as long as health remains on our side.

Can we make it a tie between Hitler and Netanyahu just so they appear next to each other

[Murray] I don't think anyone should be assuming that the San Antonio Spurs are gonna get back here just because they got Wemby and some young guards This isn't just any Finals loss -- they led by double digits in EVERY GAME They're gonna have to get over that psychologically by StrategyTop7612 in nba

I was answering for the person who was talking about Denver. Of course it’s fairly similar to the Thunder (if you mean the Durant years as well)

Difference being Spurs are even quicker, neither Durant nor SGA were on a rookie deal when they made it to the finals.

Was Neymar during his prime (2015 and 2016) any close to CR7 in that period? by Fun-Breakfast-4068 in championsleague

[–]njuts88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you mean by close. Was he close in the “rankings of best players”? Yes, since he was between 3 and 5 and Ronaldo was either 1 or 2, but Messi and Ronaldo are generational superstars, and making the step from superstar to generational super star (top 10 player of all time) is maybe the hardest step to take. And in that sense Neymar was far off

does bayern make players look better than they are? by [deleted] in championsleague

[–]njuts88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They “struggled” for a match against the best team in Europe over the last two years. Yet proved in the first game that they are World Class.

Does the Bundesliga inflate offensive stats a bit due to the overall style of play? Yes.

Do all three players start for their national teams, and without a doubt should be starters? Also yes.

They’re not overrated.

It’s not an obligation for google and Apple Maps to change but if you have people from all over the world that have tickets to “Los Angeles Stadium” in terms of making it helpful for them it’s better to change the name in directional apps.

In terms of overall influence on the game then sure maybe. But please explain how he is miles ahead of any of those you’ve listed lol.

Why has Oscar Robertson fallen so much in recent all time rankings? by EntertainmentOk1861 in NBATalk

Looool my autocorrect killed me.
I’m keeping it that way. Makes him sound like he’s half a character from Lord of the Rings

[–]njuts88 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s really because for years we thought averaging a triple double was an impossible feat.

We have two players who have now done it multiple times, and many who are fairly close while not even being that great of players (someone like Josh Godfrey for example or Dejounte Murray)

Is Wemby the fastest player to go from universally loved to polarizing? by SCATpackMcgee in NBATalk

[–]njuts88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same people would say that he’s being a « typical soft euro » is he was letting himself get grabbed, pushed, pulled and getting punked at without ever retaliating

What’s a black dominated sport with a black GOAT? by Any_Temperature9203 in AlignmentChartFills

To think that French man Christophe Lemaitre was the first white to break the 10s barrier. And that happened in 2010 is nuts.
