@Jon_Mackenzie My fave quote about technique reframed this kind of thought — technique is about how you execute a decision. If it ends in the result you want, it’s the correct technique. I think about received wisdom of “don’t use your toe” and then about ronaldinhos goal vs Chelsea or Romario
@GoodVibePolitik As we all know, Qatar, UAE and Saudi only got involved with euro soccer because they have an altruistic love of the beautiful game and enhancing the infrastructure of Paris and Manchester 😌
@MagnificoIX@esjesjesj@CodyLibolt@grok Penicillin, insulin, and polio vaccine all given away for free or basically free as their inventors knew it was deeply evil to try and profit from them. Please read a book
@TILIKI_OS@kimmoFC It’s just the overly online 21 yr olds tbh. I barely see it now I blocked so many of the worst offenders and don’t engage with any others
@timstillman_ What’s crazy is tuchel has spoken about needing overlaps or true footed wingers vs deep blocks and then proceeded to play Spence and Gordon on the left! Best cross from the left when mads went over and hit the bar from James finally overlapping
@cfcyusxf So no one read the article then? Because nothing in it was anti-Palestinian or said that was the reason for the controversy (that comment was related to the dwarves at his party), and in fact it gave him praise for using his platform to advocate what he believes. Be better people
@TeleFootball@SamJDean It actually insane how many people didn’t read this and jumped to conclusions (which, based on the telegraph is usually totally fair) but in this case Sam is being hard done by imo. It doesn’t help the righteous cause if we are not intellectually honest
@_Zeets Idea: 64 team WC. After group stage it routes into 4 separate last 16s, ending with a champion for each “division”, obviously the main winner being from the top group of 16
@KlonnyPin_Gosch I’ve been watching the telemundo broadcast on peacock along with TuneIn radio commentary— no ads during the “hydration” breaks as well
@scottjwillis@FortWorthEddie Rodman is 5’8 and the average wnba player is 6’0, which suggests she would, in fact, not be as successful in wnba as she is in soccer.
Also, (sorry to remind us all) Arsenal are taller and heavier and have more traditional “athletes” than PSG, and yet… 😢
@pranav_m28 I say this as a data guy — this doesn’t pass the smell test, at all. How can the values for release speed, press resistance and composure all be low? That is completely contradictory and suggests he panics but doesn’t release the ball and then it gets stripped from him. Lmao
