Yeah the set went back and forth but Japan had chances to win it. Hitting the net serving at match point must be devastating.

There's loads of potentially interesting stuff on today, all clashing with each other. It's the same most days. As Loki says, we need three weeks to showcase more sports. How many handball/hockey/volleyball etc players aren't getting enough exposure because their sports are clashing too much...

Volleyball is class to be fair, especially the indoor. It's very entertaining.

That's the point I made. Real have quantity and Barca have quality - Barca's wins seem more special and deserved in the main, at least since 2006, but RM win a lot more even if it does seem more fluky and like they weren't always the best team. For most fans quantity will matter more than...

Also, this doesn't matter and is called an appeal to authority. Hansi Flick is not infallible - he isn't right about everything, and has - in fact - been wrong about plenty in the past. You might as well shut down the forum or any forum if only people in positions of power opinions should be...

You seem to care far too much about a footballer. If Lewandowski is indeed finished (as I have suspected he is for a while) then life will go on. It won't make your life any worse that a random footballer - who is a stranger to you - was finished at the grand old age of 35/36. You will still go...

Yes, Real Madrid are (in my view) the only club who can compete with Barca for size of club. Barca indeed play the best football, have had the best club team ever, and have had so many of the world's best players ever. Clubs like Man United, who talk themselves up, are utter frauds in a debate...

I will quote my post in the Real thread, adding context. Does this sound like a 'RM dickrider'? You really are a child "Madrid have won much more, but as someone who supports neither club, they have never had a team like Pep's 2009 or 2011 teams (not even the teams in the 50s). Furthermore, I...

Not a dickrider. You're talking bollocks. I am not a Barca fan but always liked the club and VASTLY supported them over Real Madrid and still do. I always wanted them to beat Real. But Real are a bigger club to many. It's like how I'd call Man United a bigger club than Man City or Liverpool but...

Yeah true, I shouldn't have referred to the status of the athlete. They should all be treated equally and have access to the same facilities, from the most famous to the most obscure.

He is one of the more well-known swimmers too. Seen him in a few events and he won gold in something. It seems badly organised this event. From this to the food, to the facilities to the state of the river water for the distance swimmers.

I didn't watch the friendly between you guys and Man City, so I don't know how you are looking in pre-season, but Guardiola talks some amount of bollocks at times. He loves to troll. He talks up players from opponents you know he doesn't genuinely rate. I am sure he's praised guys like Fred and...

Happy birthday, seems to be working hard and hope he can have an impressive season.

It was a poor season for Barca indeed. Not sure why really. He just seemed totally out of his depth but then he did an ok job with Mexico and seemed a fairly competent manager before Barca. I think the job of (in my opinion) the second-biggest club in the world was just too big for him...

Anyway this only came up because that guy drew a parallel between him and Noah Lyles in terms of big pressure moments, and it became clear that the myth persists to some. I have outlined examples proving it is a myth. Nobody can dispute those examples as we have all watched them. He shrinks in...

How does it not affect his next play? His horrendous free-kick taking actively sabotages Portugal when someone else could take them and either deliver a cross or score themselves. That's actively hindering his team so he can take the spotlight himself. It's selfish, makes the team worse, and...

If that is too long to read, this is the main point: 'Ultimately, anyone as amazing under pressure as some people claim he is can never have as bad a knockout international record as he has. It's just impossible to reconcile the two things.' It's not even like it takes a slight dip, as you...

He won the 2008 Cl Final after scoring a header, then disappearing in the second half and extra time. He then missed a penalty in the shootout. He gets credit for the 2014 CL semis but it was actually Ramos who sealed the tie in the second leg, as Ramos scored two headers before Ronaldo scored...

Molly Caudery and Amber Anning are very pretty too...

I seen someone on Redcafe after last night's thrilling 100 m race say that Noah Lyles reminds him of Ronaldo- a bellend but brings his A game under pressure. Why does this myth around Ronaldo persist? How do people think he always show up in the big games? Are people just wilfully overlooking...
