Since the 1900s or even before that only one player has ever achieved this incredible feat.
Of all the Finals reached by his nation (4) - he was the sole common factor in all of those finals.
🐐❤️
Was complete trash in first 55min when the game was 50-50, then “came alive” after England gassed out and Argentina dominated
Messi can only perform in big games in good conditions when his team are dominating, still didn’t even come close to scoring
🚨 It has come to our knowledge that a certain FANBASE is trying to BAN Touchmine from X by FALSEFULLY REPORTING our account.
Reason? Because we speak too much TRUTH.
Throughout the World Cup, we covered various controversial incidents, especially those where a certain TEAM was FAVOURED in multiple matches. Every claim we made was backed by PROOF, whether through VIDEOS or PHOTOS.
Not once during the tournament did any of our posts receive a COMMUNITY NOTE questioning the accuracy of our reporting.
Yet, our account received an IMPERSONATION STRIKE two days ago. Although we changed our layout to fully comply with X RULES, we still don't know whether this account will survive due to the continuous FALSE REPORTS from a certain FANBASE.
The fact is, we are NOT impersonating any registered ORGANISATION or PERSON, so this should never have fallen under the IMPERSONATION POLICY in any way.
We will be attaching PROOF in the comment section showing THEM FALSEFULLY REPORTING our account.
It would be of great help if you could tag the X TEAM so they can look into and resolve this issue.
Thank you for your support.
The Touchmine. ❤️
@someballfacts The funniest part of it is I never said either is better than the other, just pure stats.
He read that, arrived at an inference, didn't like it, gets mad at me.
1) Agreed, dribbles are useless stat.
2) Agreed, more touches implies more opportunity to dribble, at least for these 2.
3) Disagree. The stats will hold up. He has the numbers. No need for imagination.
Cont. 👇
@Saintthird_ Absolutely useless stat. Obviously you need more touches to have more dribbles. There’s no guarantee Ronaldo’s aforementioned stats would hold up in a high touch volume role + all you proved is Messi does way more dribbles at the same rate.
@TheAsianLads Unfortunately it won't end anything, because we are dealing with people who get mad at their own conclusions they infer from a given data.
Will do a thread on 17/18 Ronaldo UCL and his role and this end "poacher" gimmick once it for all. Just need to semi and final and explain this role. Prob will take a week due to test.
8) Again, Volume is affected by factors such as opportunity, team setups, and sometimes 'depth vs breadth trade off' in skills.
9) Once again sample size doesn't affect dribbling ability.
6/6
1) Nice hand eye coordination! Because no, you didn't. You replied under the main post which has no mention of "per touch"
2) The graph has every UCL match stats by either of them plotted on it. You can verify it yourself. Made using publically available data.
1/6
@Saintthird_ 1) Nicd reading comprehension. I said this per touch thing is useless
2) Nigga you showed me a graph with absolutely no source. Why tf should I believe this? Anyways, Messi literally does better in it
3) This precision point is true for stats but once again, if two things-
7) Of course, Cristiano is more conservative - which is part of his play style - definitely not a negative, because no-one has ever said one should take all the risks.

8) Meh, Dribbles aren't High value actions.
9) "Much better dribbler" - proceeds to show no reasoning.
10) Touch value acts as the opportunity count. A normaliser.
11) "High touch players are always more impactful" - again, no proof. Too much generalization.
12) 🔁
