Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

Yeah but it's the fallacy of #s in football. The high risk, high reward style of attacking isn't sustainable and you'll rarely beat top teams doing that. Now Bruno is married to that style and you see so many good attacks go to waste when Bruno gets the ball. Idk what they are gonna do with him.




Some said Nunez himself made death threats but they weren't taken seriously because they know he'd miss.

I don't mean to get in my Christianity bag, but I used to think that verse where Jesus was talking in front of his home crowd and everybody was ready to throw him off a cliff was nuts. I was like "I'm glad we're more civilized these days". Naaaah, we're not, lol. Social media has shown just how nuts people are. Between people just saying whatever, and then the crazy situations caught on video, people are just as crazy and unhinged as we've always been

You talking about Paul Kariya? Absolutely not. I meant that Hockey Players and Football players don't flop and it takes a lot for them to stay on the ground/ice for more than 5 seconds

I do understand why soccer players flop tho. Defenders spent so long getting away with murder and the only way players could get fouls called is by stimulation.


but then again, im of the opinion that defenders should not be allowed to use their hands to slow down attackin players…

I don't mind using arms if the players are side by side, as long as you don't like wind up and hit someone. the grabbing from behind, I think should always be a foul though.

Seems we're finally moving on from Frenkie. Finally got it through their thick skulls.

Now we're apparently linked with another player who will never join us.....


Casemiro.

 

[nyknick]

Anybody got Federico Macheda's number

 

[DapMeUp!]

Ngl I would be furious as a Man U fan right now.

I don't recall a more poor window from a squad that so obviously needed rebuilding.
So many people's heads should be rolling for allowing this squad to start the season.

rangers psv should be good later

Might as well look for bebe's number as well. He aint doing to bad in la liga

 

[TobiOT]

Man Utd didn't want to pay the 5M for Moises Caicedo. Now they want him from Brighton who obviously won't sell, unless it's a hefty fee.....

Arse backwards club.

Lowkey United brehs, i knew we were in trouble the moment we paid damn near 40 million for Marouane Fellaini.. it was a sign of “big buys” to come

Thing about hockey and football is that the field of play is smaller and contact is not just "a part of the game", you literally cannot play the sport without touching another human.
Also, in hockey specifically you have more inertia/speed, so expecting people to pull out of a check is physically impossible in most cases.
In soccer, there more opportunity to not have contact at all. But in the case of flopping, that could EASILY be changed by enforcement. If the officials let men play, there would be less flopping. But looking for fouls and penalties is so much of a viable strategy that there's no reason NOT to.
