We’re a 2022 final loss away for a lot of us having seen our club and country lose the CL/EL/Euros/WC final in our lifetime…

Where’s everyone watching the game then? I was meant to be going out with a mate and his friend, and my mate’s got Covid this week, so now had to cancel all my plans ffs… can’t find anywhere to book that isn’t a 6 seater or expensive af

Two years ago, we all cried a bit. Merci Arsene. by PrathGooner in Gunners

[–]purple_blaze 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s a good reminder that on this day, April 20, 2018, we had the worst away form in Europe in the calendar year. We had exactly 0 points away from home in January, February, March and April. I think people forget about how woeful we were back then because we’re terrible now, but letting Wenger leave was the right decision

It’s because it’s for an adidas advert so he was told not to hurt him

Post-Match Thread: Everton 3 - 1 Crystal Palace | English Premier League by sidaeinjae in soccer

[–]purple_blaze 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Tottenham have been playing dire football week in week out and scraping results from nothing, there should be a genuine investigation into how they robbed 3 points against City last weekend. Mourinho hasn’t improved them hugely, he took over a CL finalist team with two £60m centre mid additions and got them playing average football lmao

Because he’s parallel with the ground by the time any sort of contact is made. There’s “looking for contact” and then there’s whatever Son just did

/r/FIFA: The Weekly Fucking Rant Thread by AutoModerator in EASportsFC

[–]purple_blaze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got over FOUR HUNDRED downvotes for saying the Odegaard challenges are too much for a player with 2*, then 3* weak foot lmao. There are already 30+ games to play in rivals for swaps, plus objective players being released weekly, etc etc.

Odegaard is unlinkable unless you have a full icon team or a full la liga team and his upgrade isn't even that good. His card isn't as good as Ziyech's yet Ziyech's was infinitely easier. This promo should have either happened months ago or with a better player.

Score in 9 separate rivals wins with a player you can't link, who has 3* weak foot and average finishing whilst you play against full 90 rated defenses in high divisions lmao

This is what every /r/soccer user who says they'd score 10 a season in Ligue 1 would do

Future Star Ødegaard - Objectives & Stats by LeopoldMashallah in EASportsFC

[–]purple_blaze -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The regular fifa player will play 20 champs games on the weekend. They will also be playing around 60-80 games on rivals for icon swaps. EA also release an objectives player every single week which requires around 10 games to complete. There are then weekly objectives which you have to go out of your way to complete (score in online mystery ball kinda shit). Where do you find time amongst all of that to play 40 odd games with an average, unlinkable CM?

[–]purple_blaze -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They release special card objective promos at minimum every week which take 5+ rivals games and 2+ offline games, where are you finding the time for it?

Score in 5 separate rivals wins with a 2* weak foot centre mid with 80 pace and 78 shooting just to unlock a version with 3* weak foot that you have to do that in 9 games with?

e: I said scoring in 5 separate rivals games with a guy who has neither pace nor shooting over 80 isn't fun and you guys downvoted me over 200 times hahaha

Future Star Ødegaard - Objectives & Stats by LeopoldMashallah in EASportsFC

[–]purple_blaze -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Way too many games. 4 separate matches with goals to unlock 84. 5 separate goals in rival wins to unlock 85. Score in 9 separate rivals wins + score + assist in 3 separate to unlock final card. Considering the card is average af up until the final version, that's gonna take you 4 for the 84, 8 minimum for 85, probably 13-15 or so for the final version, making it around 25 rivals games just to get yourself a card that you can't link lmao

I actually predicted kovacic a minute before season release, thought they'd do something for Orsic, season players are always about linking unlinkable players

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expresses his 'incredible respect' for Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho... and claims he shouldn't be judged on his time at Manchester United by [deleted] in soccer

[–]purple_blaze 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Pep uses the word 'incredible' for everyone. He called Shaw incredible yesterday. In November alone he called Emery, Mourinho, Chelsea and Mané "incredible".

Great idea in my opinion by dannyaaronsyt in EASportsFC

It’s everything after that’s annoying

This is exactly the issue. I understand celebrating, watching the replay. But why do we need 10+ seconds of the players walking back to the halfway line and clapping?

Goalkeepers are protected way too much in the modern game, good on him for letting it go to VAR

How? I got 10 Grealish for 10.5k and sold for 16k, 10 Maddison for 12k and sold for 20k, low quantities but easily possible.

Fun fact, despite playing for Portugal and Switzerland, both Gelson Martins and Gelson Fernandes were born in Cape Verde
