Going off topic a bit as this isn't about the player, but... While that is true and I totally agree with you on the appeal to authority fallacy (in terms of better authorities and an abundance of them descreasing the likelihoold of it being a genuine fallacy), there is also the issue of group...

Good post mate, agree with the majority. I will select two things you said about football: First, the control freak thing. I kinda feel similarly. Guardiola did start it in a way, but I have conflicted feelings. I love how tactical the game can be now, but as you say it leads to decreased...

Don't worry mate, I expect English isn't your first language (y)

It was already otherworldly without a number 9 and with Messi as a false 9. It was close to the perfect team, why would Guardiola have tried to alter it?

I agree, Messi made the system work, just stating what I think he meant. Like I say though, I might have misinterpreted what he meant. It's hard to make out with how it is written.

Maybe I am not reading that right, but I am interpreting it as even a lesser player than Messi could have made false 9 work to a point back then, because of the players and system around him. It's worded ambiguously and hard to make out but I think that's what draconifire meant. Not that it...

You both make fair points to be honest. It's so difficult to foresee what will and won't work with players at a coach's disposal. That's why the best coaches are so good. Making tactical decisions like this is what Flick is being paid for and not us.

He obviously believes he's some sort of football savant.

Sorry Rinus.

Good points but it's still a good option to mix things up for your team. In most games Lewandowski will play because of his (albeit declined) physical presence and being a focal point, and ability to attack Yamal crosses. This would be even more true if Williams joined. A similar profile of...

He arrives in the box like a more athletic Frank Lampard, doesn't he. He seems quality technically too. I saw very few Barca matches last season but the ones I did watch he stood out.

Men's gold medal match in volley at 12pm UK time and handball women's gold medal match at 2 pm. I should be able to see the former and some of the latter (Community Shield starts at 3pm). It's currently 10.27am. I notice a fair amount of the women's gold medal matches are on after the men's in...

Looks great. Only thing is you need a really solid base behind them too (even though they're all hard working and athletic). A double pivot that can build play and mop up behind them is a great front six.

Excellent player but he's only fit on 29 February. Too much of a risk for any club.

Googled it man - looks good. Look how high they get their leg up.

The only good thing about Oreo is his hunger.

It's easier for people who aren't footballers to use hands really in any walk of life, including volleyball. But yeah, if someone has a football background, it would be a major advantage and extra string to the bow to have in volleyball.

Manc derby in the Community Shield today, fewer than three months on from their FA Cup Final meeting. City don't normally take it seriously and have lost quite a few of them in the past, so United probably do have a strong chance of winning. I will watch it anyway. It has little bearing on the...

Yeah she did well. I did notice she was smaller and more muscular and the other competitors were fatter and more rotund. I think it was a New Zealand girl she beat to gold and to be fair the New Zealand girl gave a smile as soon as the throw went in and took it sportingly. The New Zealand lass...

I like how you insulted him then said you are happy for him, lol.
