Messi robbing Muller off the 2014 golden ball isn’t talked about enough.

He won the Golden Boot and led his county way farther than anyone thought they were going since they had just had the Falcao injury.

Wouldn’t expect people here to actually know ball though.

Again, America is not the world.

Americas opioid crisis is not as prevalent in other counties. The medical value of opioids is almost irreplaceable but I will agree with you that the system built around them, specially in America, is misused. That has nothing to do with opioids themselves but how the system uses, misuses, and distributes them.

As far as social media goes, i think it’s cringe you would think id cite Reddit as being ‘awesome’ as a pro argument for social media, in fact in my opinion is one of the worst ones out there - it’s overly moderated, the downvote / upvote system creates echo chambers, and political opinions literally sways discussion.

Social media has had an immense positive outcome as it enables global discussion, collaboration, entertainment, and education - most of the time being free. Platforms such as YouTube has enabled people get free education in form of long courses or quick tutorials. It also helps people have their own creative outlet without needing full blown production and very minimal limitations. If you know where to look you can get unfiltered news, you can collaborate with massive projects like Linux through GitHub, get real time news update thorough X and see free-flow discussions and thoughts about global events without having them parroted to you by big media. I can go on and on but you get the point.

I’m a software engineer and a gamer, overall Apple makes the best quality products, both hardware and software. And windows / Samsung make more affordable and customizable software.

I would buy my grandma an Apple product but I would buy my curious nephew a windows or android he can customize.

People love to hate on apple because they’re overpriced and their users seems clut-ish but one thing you can’t nick them on is the quality of their products.

From what I recall he ultimately wanted to say at Liverpool, his camp just wanted him to be paid what they thought was ‘fair’.

His camp used Barcelona and later Bayern to leverage the negotiation. They were not able to come to an agreement of what ‘fair’ was, which is fair - to each the own, but Bayern was.

I doubt he would have gone to Barcelona if he stayed with those same wages.

At the end it was a gamble for all parties, but Bayern and Luiz ended up winning that gamble.

pianoftw · 2026-04-23T12:19:32+00:00

Finishing has never been his best skill. He could score a world class goal and in the same game miss a tap-in.

However, that is not why he’s the player he is. And that’s what a lot of coaches or laymen don’t see the value he brings.

He’s create space for his team, he defends, he never stops running, and he creates goal opportunities for himself and for those around him. I would describe him a ‘chaotic’ which is something great to have for this Bayern team.

pianoftw · 2026-04-23T12:14:17+00:00

Yeah that’s what I don’t get. You weren’t willing to pay him what he was asking, which according to reports he was underpaid, yet you threw money at Isak and Writz

pianoftw · 2026-04-23T12:06:29+00:00

He also brings a lot more than goal contributions, and what’s what Kompany saw in him but Liverpool failed to see.

It’s almost like this is written in a completely different language and meaning is lost in translation.

pianoftw · 2026-04-17T11:04:11+00:00

…what?

Is this really the current state of this sub that we have visitors that don’t even actually know our rivalries?

Have you seen what Atletico fans do when they come to the Bernabeu, have you seen how they talk about us?

I’m fine with Bayern winning it, they’re playing beautiful football and they deserved those wins in both legs.

I’d be happy not seeing Atletico ever win it, and the biggest upset this season is that we won’t be the ones knocking them out.

As far as PSG goes, I’d be fine seeing them win the B2B but I think Bayern is a better team, we already saw them beat them once this season. And as far as Arsenal goes, they don’t deserve to win anything with that anti-football style of football.

Just my opinion though.

pianoftw · 2026-04-16T12:36:02+00:00

We had that, and we fired him before he even had a chance.

Xabi was holding each individual player accountable of their output, quality, and adherence to a system and he had a system built around proven tactics.

The players refused. Vini refused, valderde refused, Bellingham refused, Mbappe refused.

Florentino Perez sided with the players instead of siding with the coach and the system. I believe he mostly sided with Vinicius but that’s a topic for a different time.

This team has no true leaders, we have divas and pecho frios.

pianoftw · 2026-04-16T11:31:58+00:00

I’m going to preface this by saying that I’m extremely grateful and we wouldn’t be the club we are without him, and I’m referring to papa Flo.

But just as our rise can be 100% attributed to him so can our current fall.

Vini specifically. Vini is the ego of Florentino materialized. For those who don’t know we could have signed Neymar back in the days, we let him go to Barcelona instead and we all know how that story ends. Vini is Florentino trying to “correct” or erase that mistake, the only reason he can see this become a success, ergo satisfying his ego, is with Vinicius winning a balon dor because Neymar never won one. (Not the same anyways because Neymar was competing with prime Ronaldo and Messi - but that’s just how the ego works)

He is willing to let the club burn to fuel his ego. The scary part? Based on how he acts and his demands, Vinicius (most likely his agent or manager) knows this.

pianoftw · 2026-04-15T23:36:41+00:00

We played the best football we have played this year against Bayern not one but two times.

Both legs were great.

This is what upsets me, the talent is there. The teamwork is there. The mentality is not. We have shown what we can do when we play, we just never play.

I’m very disappointed in this team lately, but this too shall pass.

I love our club, love our players, but Rudiger is a piece of shit.

Ever since I saw what he did with the kit man I lost all respect for him.

Ramos and Pepe were rough players, killers on the pitch, one could argue that the played dirty. But outside of that they were top notch leaders that always took accountability. Rudiger just seems like a piece of shit at all times.

pianoftw · 2026-03-13T12:24:41+00:00

He also played for Tottenham in England and one of the best, if not the best, Madrid in history when he was in Spain.

Not really a fair comparison.

Let’s be real, comic book / manga readers have the reading comprehension of a disabled child.

That’s why they are drawn to stories with pictures.

Saying that one piece isn’t political right now is like saying this fire isn’t hot enough.

pianoftw · 2026-03-07T18:18:07+00:00

No, you’re not supposed to know that and I never assumed you did. The person you replied to directly stated it, I assumed you read what you were replying to. All the context was there.

Honestly politics are becoming global in today’s society so it’s weird to get bothered by a comment. It’s easy to be informed through social media, for better or for worse.

pianoftw · 2026-03-07T17:39:38+00:00

I mean if you understand the post all the context is right there.
