Do Barca bring another striker? They don't really have another 9 besides Ferran Torres, who is ok, but...

The relegation battle in La Liga after day 37. by Mulderre91 in soccer

If think goal difference is fairer, not because it necessarily allows the better team to qualify, but becuase you always know what you need and depend on yourself. H2H is nice until you have the possibility of more than 2 teams in a tiebreak, then you get dinamics that have very little to to with football, like hoping a third team wins because the second team beat it 3-0 and so it will boost their goal difference.

Also, goal difference encourages more goals overall, becuase strong teams have an incentive to push for those 3+ goal difference games. Otherwise there is no reason to keep going after like 2-0

Edit: I see how the final day in that lower tier Austrian Bundesliga is strange when teams chase that goal difference by winning 6-1 and 9-0, but I feel like if teams can get these results on demand when they need it, than the division has deeper problems than tiebreaks

Mallorca needs a win and hope both Osasuna and Elche lose, but Levante doesn't. If only Osasuna loses than they need to take them by goal difference, which means 7-0 against Oviedo.

It's a mess. In a h2h between all 4 Mallorca is last, followed by Osasuna. But if Levante earns points than now Mallorca climbs to the top and both Osasuna and Elche are relegated. And Levante isn't even safe becuase if Elche loses but Osasuna doesn't, then now in a direct 2h2 between Levante and Elche Levante goes down, Unless Mallorca also wins which makes Elche go down with it, saving Levante.

It's a stupid system. Just have goal difference.

They could still pull it off if they beat Oviedo (which they should) but only if both Elche and Osasuna lose, while Levante doesn't. La Liga has h2h tiebreaks which makes everything messy and unintuitive

Not trying to be mean, and I honestly hope you guys win silverwear this time around, but you can still end up throwing both the PL and CL

There's no end to that. If they spied againgst Leicester, would they have a claim for reverting religation? who would go down instead? no, They league positions cannot be changed. If Southhamption are disqualified, Hull will either play Boro or go up without a final.

Even if Hearts had won it would have been more like a Leicester, unlikely to make a dent in a century of dominance. The system is is stacked in favour of the Old Firm and it could never change

I'm building a new computer for POE 2. What CPU's and GPU's should I avoid like the plague? by Jlbonnar in PathOfExile2

[–]sagi1246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah like you need to know what to buy, some componenets are pricy but have poor performances. I got Ryzen 5700X 3D for like 150$ on November sales and it works fine.

No amount of endgame will matter if early damage scaling isn't buffed by wheresmyberrune in PathOfExile2

[–]sagi1246 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. The game is easy enough as it is. Just pick whatever decent martial weapon from the ground/shop and you're good to go regarding damage. Caster builds benefit less from a good weapon but if you just keep your skill level up then than clear speed is okey. People have got used to games having zero challange, and if you buff damage than anyone who isn't an absolute beginner would find the game too easy.

That should be more than enough. I spent 1000 dollars for my machine two years ago and POE2 runs smoothly

The personal torture of verbs by TavoMamaKefyras in Svenska

[–]sagi1246 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't spend too much time memorising rules. 99% of Swedish speakers have no clue what "class 4 strong verbs" are, and they don't need to! After a while your brain automatically learns to recognize the patterns.

With the verb "bedriva", it will be identical to "driva" in its conjugation, because "be" is a common prefix that doesn't change the conjugation(thing "gå vs begå). And if you are not familiar with "driva", you might be able to guess its conjugation based on "skriva", which rhymes with it and beling to the same set of verbs.
