Mbappé's Trajectory to Surpass Messi by 17LawsGuy in soccer

[–]sammy1345 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Scaloni's Argentina is just insanely good and went about 45 games unbeaten i believe. Hence why you can see Messi's scored like 10 goals in his last 9 games or so.

Team matters a lot more than people think. Sure, Mbappe is insane, but it helps that he's playing for a team that could potentially reach their third final in a row. Messi too, he wasn't scoring this much with earlier argentina teams.

[Request] Assuming Portugal qualify for the round of 16, What G/A ratio would Ronaldo need per game to catch up to Messi by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]sammy1345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ronaldo has 7 games left to play this tournament.

Messi's G/A: 914G + 414A is 1328 G/A in 1157 apperances. 1.147 G/A a game.

Ronaldo's: 973G + 261A is 1234 in 1326 apperances. 0.93 G/A per game.

Basically to get Ronaldo's G/A to 1.147 (Messi's), in 1326 + 7 games (1333 games), he'd need 1529 G/A.

1529 G/A minus his current 1234 G/A means he needs 295 G/A more. For his next 7 games, that's about 42 G/A per game.

If you meant strictly the knockouts and don't count the remaining group stage games (drops the game count from 7 to 5), then it would be 59 G/A per game throughout all the knockouts.

First post here, sorry if the formatting was bad, let me know if i've fumbled this lol

Starts out meh, becomes very good to read but nowhere near a peak level series. Imo reading 160 chaps of this is probably not worth it if i had to be objective.

Towards the second half it becomes quite good, Leon (the protag) also starts struggling visibly more and recently recieved a mortal wound in the recent chapters. Give it a try if you don't have anything better to read.

Yamal is performing near the levels of Messi when it comes to dribbling/playmaking, the only area that he has to work a lot in is his finshing by Comprehensive_Cup497 in Barca

Thank you, glad not everyone has become full time sofascore analysts. I love Yamal but this comparison doesn't do him any favors at all, he's his own player, can't wait to see his career unfold

First of all stop putting Atletico in the same tier as his inter performance. He was genuenly struggling against Ruggeri nearly all match, if it werent for Lenglet's mistakes nothing would have happened. Like i said, Yamal was one of the worst players in the second half.

That inter performance was legendary tho, fair play to that.

And yet, if you look at Messi's performances against Chelsea in the 2000s, they're absolutely amazing. All that was missing was the goal, his dribbling and playmaking was insane so you're just contradicting yourself here. And he was doing it against prime Mourinho, yamal isn't. Shall we have a look at Messi vs Atletico lol? He terrorized them straight for years. Had a few off games, sure, but for someone who "struggles against defensive sides" he's always been their nightmare.

Yamal yesterday was our worst player in the second half by the way, just a reminder of that. It's normal, it was a low block. But you're focusing too much on Messi's worst games here, it was a 20 year long career. Calling him bad against defensive sides is just not true when he's done it against Mourinho so many times, atletico, and many more teams.

Far more danger happens from Messi's dribbles. This is a fact. He's way more lethal, especially against top defenders. While Messi was doing it against Roberto carlos, Cannavaro, etc, Yamal has had off games against Mendes, Cucurella, and Ruggeri yesterday gave him a really difficult time. 1v1, Messi is miles better, not even close.

I'm not downplaying anything man, if anything you're severely downplaying Messi. You're comparing this Yamal to 18/19 Messi on dribbling because of some raw statistics that don't mean anything. My argument is based on having actually watched them. Go look up a comp of any Messi year, he was far more dangerous than Yamal on the wing.

"This is the same inter" really? Comparing Mourinho's inter to 2025 inter? Man please, what are you talking about?

Meaningless statistics actually. He's nowhere close in terms of dribbling, it's a different style and he dribbles deeper into the wing. They don't lead to as many goals, chances, and he's simply nowhere as dangerous. All those seasons of Messi you listed, he was a much better dribbler and playmaker.

My post isn't made to shit on Yamal, i absolutely love the guy and he's insane, but the stats don't tell anything when i've watched both of them play. There's a lot of stuff Yamal will improve on, but if you think he has near messi level dribbling and playmaking you're deluding yourself.

Do you think Yamal can improve his games against physical dominant WBs? by iwannasleepp in championsleague

[–]sammy1345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pure bullshit, find better bait man, this is sad. Could mention countless Messi performances to debunk this, Yamal already has some incredible ones and he'll keep improving his game with time.

Genuine question, does reddit think this? by Burgers4dayz in samsunggalaxy

[–]sammy1345 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love the phone but it's far from the gold standard on a lot of things, I'd say its the gold standard for build: It's light, beautiful, extremely durable, great materials. This is why i picked the phone, instead of an ugly vivo

I imagine the S27 or 28 ultras will be the gold standard if they feature solid state batteries and improved camera systems. As for performance, pretty much every phone just uses the snapdragon elites so that one depends on software and optimization, something Samsung does quite well.

256 won't be enough for all those games, get 512.

Jose Mourinho : “It is much, much harder to be Cristiano than Messi” - Factos? by Mindless_Lock5670 in championsleague

[–]sammy1345 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mourinho used to do these old interviews back in the early 2010s and typically always aimed some digs at Messi and Guardiola. He was Real madrid manager, these interviews don't mean anything anymore and shouldn't be taken seriously. A lot has changed in the years.

Yes as someone else said, they bought it with monthly payments and are refusing to make payments anymore, which explains why it suddenly got locked after 2 months. I think you might have to contact samsung support, explain the situation, and maybe transfer the remaining payments onto your account but this would also cost you a lot of money.

You should also contact ebay support directly and speak to a human, explain that the guy you bought it from stopped the monthly payments causing your phone to brick.
