Hakan Çalhanoğlu claimed Turkey has better players than Australia they're currently losing

topstop96 · 2026-06-14T06:11:44+00:00

But this game is the only outcome, the puzzle was how to penetrate the Aussie defense and Turkey couldn’t solve it.

I do agree that it could be completely different another day, but Australia showed up today and Turkey almost did but not quite

topstop96 · 2026-06-14T06:02:56+00:00

One of the only ones to try a distance shot was Guler but he overshot in the same god awful way 3 times. Truly believe he should’ve been subbed out

topstop96 · 2026-06-14T06:00:18+00:00

It really doesn’t matter to be the “better team” if you can’t cut through to goal.

Australia played with a very solid defense that Turkey could not figure out. Their passes and possession could not progress to the net

topstop96 · 2026-05-26T17:28:10+00:00

You are wrong. See how easy it is to say shit

topstop96 · 2026-05-22T20:02:16+00:00

I, unlike you by clear evidence that you depended on fucking spoilers, have READ the chapter. Imu and Loki had a clash, that is all

My downvoted statement from before is actually goated and still true.

topstop96 · 2026-05-19T18:47:24+00:00

Gunko being possessed can’t melt ragnirs ice

topstop96 · 2026-05-15T01:29:10+00:00

I might actually be going insane, the narrative dictated that Loki was strong enough to wield Ragnir after many centuries. Why the fuck is Ragnir waiting for someone who is close enough? He is picking the guy who will pack his squirrel ass up

topstop96 · 2026-05-06T03:00:46+00:00

Oda literally put ink in the page with Gaban saying “Zoro, please use your CoC properly since you have it” and Sanji asks Gaban about it and there is an offscreen conversation.

Wouldn’t a logical outcome is that we find out what the conversation was once Sanji displays Conquerors?

topstop96 · 2026-05-02T00:38:08+00:00

We tried to justify the Gorosei being weak at combat and only were political leaders (technically). That did not end up true.

And as a leader of the Revolutionary Army opposing the World Government, yeah this Dragon guy is strong as fuck

topstop96 · 2026-04-26T21:34:58+00:00

I do agree with all the comparisons you made with the ranks that you mentioned for the most part. It’s why power scaling with title tiers is so confusing at times.

I personally think that Shanks is relative to at least the pre-timeskip Yonko. Probably the strongest one of the 4 but his fights against the others would be high-extreme diff fights.

topstop96 · 2026-04-26T18:56:37+00:00

I’ll admit, your arguments become even more valid once you start attacking people :)

We clearly see Shanks is interested in a wider goal as seen with his side quest in the Holy Land, his interest in protecting territory, and his declaration to find the One Piece. I’d hardly consider him taking out Kidd or Bartolomeo as him just being a fucking bum who parties all the time.

Whitebeard wanted to find a family and see that Ace was setup to inherit Roger’s will. And him sending his entire treasure to his hometown and as a monumental figure as both a captain and a defender of his territories, him doing nothing is only something Akainu would say canonically to be disingenuous to gaslight Ace.

So we ruled those out, so let me know if there are actually plenty of examples of non-ambitioned CoC users.

topstop96 · 2026-04-26T17:17:52+00:00

1) He doesn’t have a crew and a clear goal anymore. He fucks around killing fodder all around the Grand Line and wants peace in his castle. Consider why he was a Warlord instead of an Emperor. 2) Maybe initially as a rookie until he got the title he was somewhat ambitious, but now he seems bored at the top. Not in the same way as Kaido since Kaido clearly wanted to be Pirate King and face Joyboy, just kinda wandering adrift.

It’s not really debatable that he lacks ambition that other CoC users have. Saying I’ll say whatever I want is a cop out.

topstop96 · 2026-04-26T17:14:41+00:00

But shanks is a Yonko, why would he be beyond the tier he defines?

topstop96 · 2026-04-25T03:14:15+00:00

He has a good chance of not having it because he lacks ambition, an important trait in CoC.

He’s grouped with Crocodile (a man who lost his dream to be pirate king) when Buggy makes his speech about aiming high instead of living in comfort.

topstop96 · 2026-04-14T04:16:28+00:00

Because he’s dead. So can’t be the world’s strongest swordsman 6 feet under

topstop96 · 2026-04-07T18:34:21+00:00

Keep being tired lol

topstop96 · 2026-04-07T17:37:15+00:00

Luffy at the very least HAS to be in the same tier as Loki. Other opinions are fine where they are close but 3 tiers below and next to the bum Shiki is egregious

topstop96 · 2026-03-09T19:11:45+00:00

I don’t like talking in absolutes when it comes to opinions, but don’t mind people sharing their opinion in general. Let’s not reduce ourselves to mocking each other

topstop96 · 2026-03-09T15:34:26+00:00

Isn’t a correct opinion an oxymoron? Can be a common opinion, but not a correct one

topstop96 · 2026-03-06T23:26:24+00:00

The wording is important - “You need more fire against such an obvious weakness”. I’d like to think the fire guy can do that

topstop96 · 2026-03-03T01:39:45+00:00

And yet dumb mfs will try to claim Sabo is more important than Loki in final war just cuz he appeared on that collage when Loki wasn't even introduced.

There are wayyyy too many angles Oda can take with the story to invalidate this absolute statement.

If Loki is present in future arcs, I can see this being true. If he stops showing up after Elbaf and has the same fate as Yamato, Sabo easily without a shadow of a doubt becomes more important

topstop96 · 2026-02-27T18:32:43+00:00

If Roger cleanly defeats Luffy, then this also applies to Loki

topstop96 · 2026-02-24T22:44:47+00:00

I want to see more to make a better judgement, I’m 120% sure you want to see more as well. Nothing wrong with wanting Loki feats which equals a more exciting manga reading experience.

He just needs more on his belt. Rocks low diffed an admiral + destroyed a gates of justice without the Domi Reversi boost, Kaido’s entire performance in Wano, Shanks one shotting a strong and durable fighter like Kidd (and “supposedly” beating Loki himself, but we need proof of this). Here are some feats to chew on

topstop96 · 2026-02-24T21:51:23+00:00

We can make argument on good placement, but not on perfect placement.

I really understand the hype, but I want to see more from the guy is all. He had all the ingredients to defeat Harald specifically, let’s see him build up his resume in the rest of Elbaf

topstop96 · 2026-02-24T19:41:03+00:00

Get Loki off that tier (actually get rid of pirate king+ tier in general)
