Nerdy IT guy by day. Nerdy purveyor of sports opinions by night. But most of all, proud father.

@WillLov145398 @BayAreaEmo What Wyndham was way more egregious

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@Skilfuul @Kelz_bania @Dayveed_Ade You think Fergie created a system for Ronaldo? You clearly don’t know ball. Zidane was an ego manager not a system coach.

In fact, Leo is the player that gets the system built for him. Not a criticism. His unique set of skills in the history of football obligates that.

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@firstmanreal @Skilfuul @Kelz_bania @Dayveed_Ade How many champions league editions did Messi flop in then? Two greatest players of all time and you have to act like one sucks.

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@Skilfuul @Kelz_bania @Dayveed_Ade Ronaldo dragged Portugal to World Cup qualification multiple times (2010 and 2014) with mediocre teams. But you have already decided upon your narrative.

Messi started at Barca and played with the Spanish national team basically. Pretty easy to be comfy there

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@firstmanreal @Skilfuul @Kelz_bania @Dayveed_Ade Okay buddy. How old was Messi at PSG? 34/35? Interesting

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@firstmanreal @Skilfuul @Kelz_bania @Dayveed_Ade Just saying “Penaldo” demonstrates you are not worth responding to

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@Skilfuul @Kelz_bania @Dayveed_Ade He flopped at PSG. Nothing can erase that. Messi needs to be in a comfortable environment to thrive

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@Don_TEE @Obeyamark @Masta_bobi The coach lost his voice during the game

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@JackRafff123 @EBJunkies It requires an enormous amount of athleticism when you do it like Ronaldo does. Not all bicycle kicks are created equal

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@afcliver13 @amzacpay @zobozlayi Wrong

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@amzacpay @zobozlayi look at that Spain team and look at Portugal and tell me how often Ronaldo could have dragged that team to victory. The 2010 and 2014 Portugal World Cup teams were not world class around Ronaldo. He dragged us to even qualify for those World Cups

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@jaycaspiankang I think today is showing more how flawed the media narrative for the last week has been

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@Piquelme21 @birdsofprey1101 Not convinced by that but it’s not an unreasonable position

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@Piquelme21 @birdsofprey1101 Not entirely unfair in recent years but to suggest that we cook without him is incorrect. We look for him too much sometimes but I don’t see that as the main problem of this game. I thought Vitinha was shockingly bad and played at too slow of a tempo

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@Piquelme21 @birdsofprey1101 “You’ve never seen Portugal play any differently” is a dumb thing to say by someone who is not dumb

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@squirrelwire222 @jonahcelona He actually won the ball but the yellow was correct for the follow through

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@bigsnugga @CockyMF @DragonflyJonez I tried but you are married to your own revisionist history.

Once again, his stock at the time the Bulls took a flyer on him was Will Perdue, a rotation center who averaged 8 pts per game his last season with the Bulls

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@bigsnugga @CockyMF @DragonflyJonez Rodman only worked in Chicago because of Phil’s handling of him (the genius of Phil) and his respect for MJ. This is not a controversial take

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@CockyMF @DragonflyJonez I never said he had no value. I said nobody wanted him at the time the bulls got him. And that’s right. Rodman was an amazing defender but also an incredibly challenging character to have in a locker room.

[Daniel Alves @Alves5Daniel]

@bigsnugga @CockyMF @DragonflyJonez Rodman was an awesome defender. All time great defender. But his behavior was also incredibly erratic and he was suspended by San Antonio during his final year there and had a huge falling out with the organization. Nobody wanted to deal with him
