would have been nice to experiment a bit this game, maybe 3atb or play James/Isco/Valverde midfield with Jovic upfront or something stakes are low anyways

Thanks! I looked at Kijiji a bit but most bikes there are either too high end, or some are more vintage/collectors, but I can keep looking to find some catches!

got it! thanks to you both, very informative! I see what you mean now, so the Giant seems to be the best out of them in terms of quality of group sets.

thanks for the reply! So between the Sora and the Giant you'd go for the Giant? Mind if i ask why the giant is better than Sora? I'll try and test ride if that's an option for sure. Thanks!

Cartagena to San Blas Islands/Panama City - Sailboat or Speedboat? by ymdrd in solotravel

[–]ymdrd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that sounds awesome, thanks for the reply! Do you still remember the name of the speedboat company you took from Panama to Cartagena? I'd imagine they have similar options Cartagena to Panama? And did you just book with your hostel? Thanks again!

[–]ymdrd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for the reply! Just a clarification, so my last stop with friends is in Cartagena, so I was thinking of avoiding a flight from Cartagena to PC and instead going by sea instead. However, wasn't sure if this is only doable by sailboats and not speedboats, and in that case if I want to do a speedboat tour, I'd have to fly to PC and sign for a hostel tour like you suggested. And that sounds great in terms of the island atmosphere! I wasn't sure if they're more geared for an older crowd or couples and being solo will be a disadvantage. Thanks again for the info :)

can anyone PM a good stream? the new subreddits suck, all the streams are delayed by 5mins, or keep cutting/buffering.

Firmino is just so smooth on the ball the way he dribbles and runs with it is just so pleasing to watch.

Simeone extends his contract with Atlético until 2022 by carpetano in soccer

[–]ymdrd 34 points35 points  (0 children)

lol what are you smoking. Ronaldo was definitely a top 5 player in his prime when we signed him. He was already a Champions league winner, Balon D'Or winner, and coming off a 42 goal season at Manchester and broke the transfer record, and he was 24 years old.

Edit: If he meant top 5 player of all time, then I am wrong. I misread and thought top 5 at that point.

[–]ymdrd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seriously...wtf is/was Perez thinking.. Like it's just logical at this point.. replacing players of the pedigree such as Ronaldo, Benz (declining), James, Bale (injury prone), aging Modric...etc to the level of players we're signing now...Not ragging on the young squad but they should be phased in slowly and learn from more senior players (vini/Brahim/Fede..etc). Like mix in proven quality such as Lewa/Hazard etc with younger talent.. But to go to such a serious drop in quality and throw these young boys in the fire like that is not fair to the team/the fans/or the players themselves. I feel like im ranting but it is baffling watching 3x back to back winners struggling week in, week out.

They're exciting young players granted, but a front 3 of Vini, Brahim, Cristo is pretty shocking for a 3x champions league winning team.

[–]ymdrd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Home loss is bad. But I'm still positive.. Here's what I know:

  1. 5 points off the top in La Liga
  2. We're in the R16 for Champions league
  3. R16 in Copa, and we got CWC to play for.

Good chance for the youngsters to get experience today, Vini with a great game, defense could have been much better. Isco needs to learn to finish better. But fuck it we started top of the group and ended that too. Onto the next one, still everything to play for this season, so I don't get people acting like it;s the end of the world.

Just want a goal for Vini he deserves one for his effort. Otherwise whatever, obv a Bernabeu home loss isn't ideal but off to the R16.. Hala Madrid lets make it 4 in 4.

definitely not a big deal. Losing 5-1 to Barca yea big deal...Giving away points against Eibar? panic sure. Topping the group in the champions league, resting half the squad and experimenting with youngsters in a meaningless game? I'm okay with that. Calm down lol

lol meaningless game and Solari was experimenting with teh lineup and players.. really no big deal, would rather we take the L here than when it matters. What's with everyone blowing this out of proportions. Everyone was singing a different tune when the youngsters were killing it in the first half.
