@edgeandgonee Ronaldo, Henry, Bergkamp, Rooney, Haaland, for a short time Owen... I could go on.

@Fame_0007 @StreetProfessa There's an enormous difference between a myth (cultural and/or religious aspect of a people) and modern fictional entertainment product. How is that so hard to understand? Also, really? How did the Queen of effing Sparta look like? We couldn't possibly know! Really?

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@K_Obabi @asakoplum @Wokenessisevil Thanks, you as well. Have a great day

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@K_Obabi @asakoplum @Wokenessisevil What? Not a backdrop, a foundation. Everything in Homer's epics is about the Hellenic world and people. Place it anywhere else and it changes dramatically. I'd argue Wakanda is a backdrop because vibranium is the root cause for all the "decisions made", not Wakanda itself.

@K_Obabi @asakoplum @Wokenessisevil Landing in an African kingdom thus influencing it's entire history. Also, one is mythology of a nation (culture, religion), the other is modern entertainment fiction. It's apples and tomatoes.

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@K_Obabi @asakoplum @Wokenessisevil Yes it does. The literal Pantheon is an active part of the story, there's the whole "travelling trough the wilderness" to come back home to Ithaka. The Greek kingdoms are "civilized" as opposed to the wild places Odysseus visits. It's as much a part of the story as vibranium in

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@supergeekmike @TchrWOAnswr @TotesMagote Sorry to interject here, but the story of the Odyssey is the story of a Hellenic king's journey back home. Him and his crew, how does that not "requires any characters to be members of any ethnicity"? The Iliad is a story of war between Hellenic factions? How tf is that not Greek

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@K_Obabi @asakoplum @Wokenessisevil It's a story about a war fought between Hellenic kingdoms in which half of the Greek pantheon favors one side and the other half favors the other. How is that not a story about Greece? And that's just the Iliad, the Odyssey is a story about a Greek king coming home...

@pravdoliub_i ... за отменения им гол, трябва да дадеш едно от двете преди 3тия гол на Аржентина. И трите бяха еднакво меки. Да не говорим за постоянното фаворитизиране на аржентинците от '22 насам. Справка - картоните на Ромеро в Тотнъм с/у тези за Аржентина.

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@pravdoliub_i Проблема е консистентност. Първия гол на Меси срещу Австрия беше след далеч по-сериозно нарушение срещу Лаймер, но всичко беше ОК и гола остана. Нито едно от двете нарушения в атаката преди 3тия гол не бе погледнато, въпреки че ако дадеш това, с което започна атаката на Египет

@PanGrandios @theoldzealand As I said, we seem to value different aspects of the game. That's fine.

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@PanGrandios @theoldzealand Ronaldo, even with his busted knees, was the best player I've ever seen play football. He had what Messi and Cristiano have separately in one package. As for the rest... I guess I value different things in the game than you do.

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@PanGrandios @theoldzealand Active player? No one - the game's become too robotic. Seen in my lifetime - Ronaldo Nazario, Tony Kroos, Ronaldihno, Xavi, Iniesta... I could go on.

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@theoldzealand My hopes now rest with Norway, Colombia or the Swiss. That was some bullshit.

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@theoldzealand But they couldn't watch again that first Messi goal against Austria. Disgraceful.

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@theoldzealand Today, I feel... Egyptian. That penalty was fun

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@blockpartybeats @theoldzealand My thing is that the attack started with a foul by a Brazilian, the same way the attack for Messi's first goal against Austria. VAR should be checking all of that not just that final touch.

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@theoldzealand I know I might jynx it but... I can't wait for them to stomp Argentina...

[Alex Ginchev @AGinchev]

@demetrimitche11 Ronaldo
Zidane
Henry
Figo
Rivaldo

You could honestly put Ronaldinho between Ronaldo and Zidane.
