nostalgia is worse than crack. just saw an Instagram page calling Marco Reus "injury ruined a monster" yeah ok lol

[Juan @socraticjuan]

This is what I mean when I say Ronaldo fans see a completely different thing when they watch football.
They watched Messi carry the ball for 50+ yards, get an assist, and THIS was the conclusion they came to 😂

[CR Shivan @teansostrich]

is there a term for bias views favoring black people and going against whites?

[CR Shivan @teansostrich]

@notso_sobermonk Idk how poor he is with the ball but he couldn't make one forward pass in the WC final. That prevented Argentina from building plays and they had to resort to long balls which never let them gain momentum. He'd be ineffective at Barca.

severance is income so why it should not be taxed?

[SumitM @SumitM_X]

SEVERANCE SHOULD NOT BE TAXED !

TATAs legacy is built on classism. You need to read more if you fall for their PR.

Perhaps all consumer businesses in India but nobody else acts more holy than them. Ambani and Adani are totally chill with all the bad PR that goes around

[The ISL Trolls @theisltrolls]

Mr. Ratan Tata’s legacy was built on backing India’s growth, including its sporting ambitions, so seeing Tata step away from Indian football is shocking.

When names like Reliance, City Football Group, and now Tata choose to step away, it’s a sign that something deeper is broken. The biggest loss isn’t financial, it’s breaking the faith of players, and millions of fans who still continue to believe in the game.

who are these players man 😭

[Islam Bouafif 🇹🇳🇵🇸 @BouafifNour]

From where Flick played Adeyemi last night, it kind of confirmed to me that he sees him as Lamine's backup and that he will mainly play on the right wing.

And considering Adeyemi was Flick's signing, I'm sure he trusts him more than Roony, so I don't really see the point of keeping Roony.

We signed him for less than €3m, so we can easily make a profit, call it good business and move on.

@Parsva_10 No. the next world cup

[CR Shivan @teansostrich]

they were seniors man. like good 6-7 years i guess?

[Daisyklaus @Daisyklausdr]

@TouchlineX No Xavi or Iniesta on this list is wild considering how tight that trio was on the pitch for a decade. Genuine question is this about friendship off the pitch, or just who he's stayed close with post-Barça?

[CR Shivan @teansostrich]

lol i don't think him and Paredes are even friends, let alone "inner circle"

they were together at PSG. you can see from training and match videos which players hang out together

what's new and what's so beautiful about it? they're parroting the general test cricket = grind nonsense and some bs about local train travel improving your game. nothing about cricket. nothing insightful.

[sportified @sportified25]

🚨When R. Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane had a beautiful conversation 🚨

R. Ashwin🗣️: "Jinx, you've been grinding it out in domestic cricket and captaining Mumbai. How do you maintain that hunger for red-ball cricket year after year?"

Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: "For me, it’s purely about passion. When you step onto the field, whether for India or Mumbai in Ranji Trophy, the ball and bat don't know what stage you're on. You just have to love the process of grinding out sessions, keeping yourself fit, and contributing to the team."

Vimal Kumar🗣️: "People always talk about the famous 'Mumbai School of Batsmanship'. What makes Mumbai's cricketing culture so unique and tough?"

Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: "It starts early. Traveling two hours one way in local trains with a heavy kit bag teaches you resilience before you even reach the ground! If you get out early, that long journey back hurts. That hunger to value your wicket comes from those daily struggles."

R. Ashwin🗣️: "That mental toughness is why Mumbai produces players who excel under extreme pressure. We’ve seen it firsthand in tough overseas Test series."

R. Ashwin🗣️: "How do you view the balance between young players coming through the IPL and the traditional Ranji Trophy grind?"

Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: "IPL gives exposure and confidence, no doubt. But red-ball domestic cricket builds your temperament. To play Test cricket, you need patience and session-by-session discipline. Both formats complement each other, but the foundation always comes from multi-day cricket."

Claude is too low intelligence at anything other than coding.

[CR Shivan @teansostrich]

@madaan9 yes. Suarez was inconsistent af. Cavani, Ibra, RVP, Aguero finished by mid 2010s

[CR Shivan @teansostrich]

i don't like this guy. too pretentious. he's 15 and still talks about cartoons. which teenager watches cartoons?

15 is tenth and eleventh grade. you're learning physics, chemistry, biology. you're old enough. also his tone of talking - he talks like he's in 2nd or 3rd grade

[Harsha Bhogle @bhogleharsha]

I wonder what the thinking is behind making Sooryavanshi vice-captain of a senior red ball team. He has played 12 innings for 207 runs @ 17.25. His talent is extraordinary but there is a learning curve and he is at the bottom of it in red ball cricket.

[CR Shivan @teansostrich]

it must be so amazing to follow clubs with competent management like Bayern, Real, City, Atleti (zero aspirations but competent for sure). on the other hand... barca...

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🔴⚪️🔐 Bayern will not do any more signings this summer, announces director Eberl.

“We closed the transfers of Nene Brown and Ismael Saibari very quickly. I thought it was clear that we were done with incomings. I had to smile about the names being linked to us. There's 0% truth to these rumours”.

[CR Shivan @teansostrich]

someone posted "wasn't ready for this" on Rahane's retirement. really bud? he's 38, out of the team for years, middling career average of 38. really funny when people put on an act

[CR Shivan @teansostrich]

India has notice period of 90 days? lmfao WTF
