ngl I'd love seeing Messi and Ronaldo in the same team

simple seal
#

The team with both would be out of business quickly lmao

#

Would take almost a billion dollars to have both considering Messi's clause

forest pier
#

idk bruh, if everyone on both teams decided to boycott i would support it but if shit gets really wonky then it just fucks up the brackets

#

everyone boycotting also brings in more attention compared to a handful of ppl

winged sparrow
#

it would be kd and steph all over again

PogU

then you take into account all of Juventus' other pieces

personally, i would love to see him in the premier league

@celest zephyr what team is that?
@white arch It's an E-sports team

#

Oh I see. I thought it was a team welcoming Messi like. .they've signed him.

#

So... Bartomeu is pressured not to resign because if he does, the directive has to respond for Barcelona's losses (amplified by COVID), and a lot of them would go broke.

#

I don't think Messi staying is as simple as Barto leaving though

hybrid hull

#

Economically it seems the better choice for Barcelona to leave him go. Even if for a free, wages lighten

#

they can rebuild around Griezmann

hybrid hull
#

Lmao

#

U didn't just say that

#

"Rebuild around Griezmann "

winged sparrow
#

Griezmann could never fill Messi's boots

#

No one can

#

nobody could fill Ronaldo's boots, but Madrid seems promising right now

winged sparrow
#

Idk about all that

#

that despite Hazard's first year has been a mess

Hazard got injured we can't judge him yet

#

Also players first season is always fucked up

how old is hazard atm?

Oh nvm

#

and who won la liga this year?

Madrid

#

what r u trying to say?

unborn sandal
#

It's not like they had a fantastic year, but they're improving

winged sparrow
#

lool just asking some questions

unborn sandal
#

Barcelona is going to suck ass for a couple of seasons, that's clear. But there's space for a rebuild that may not be really possible with Messi stuck there.

Nobita and co have to leave for that to happen, obviously.

yes, like I said

also said clips are most probs winning too

Well yeah

#

PG sucking was the main reason of the L in game 4

winged sparrow
#

messi for David Silva

#

Equivalent Exchange it seems

white arch
#

What does that mean? @winged sparrow

celest zephyr
#

POV: You're a Premier League defender seeing messi, aguero, jesus, sterling running at you

hollow wind
#

PG has 27

#

took the memes personally lmao

winged sparrow
#

What does that mean? @winged sparrow
@white arch just figure of speech about equivalent exchange since David Silva is leaving Man City

#

So adding Messi would make them just as good/better

white arch
#

David Silva and Messi who's better?

winged sparrow
#

well Messi obvs lol

white arch
#

And how did they lose that much without him even scoring a goal KatakuriThink

winged sparrow
#

who Barca?

white arch
#

Yeah

honest umbra
#

because

winged sparrow
#

bad day lol

honest umbra
#

his midfielder was nonexistent

#

you cant be expected to win the ball on the counter against a bayern team, run half the field and then score a goal

white arch
#

He could have at least scored some

honest umbra
#

hes not 19 anymore

#

thats now how football works

winged sparrow
#

plus Bayern were too damn good

honest umbra
#

theres 11 players on both teams for a reason

winged sparrow
#

Barca stood no chance

honest umbra
#

you need the balls set to your feet

#

people need to make runs to divert defenders

#

you need accurate through passes

#

none of which were possible against bayern

#

with their high press and effective ball keeping

#

messi is eons ahead of david silva lol

#

it would be a massive upgrade and thats with silva being a class player, its just messi wont have had this talented of teammates since xavi/iniesta

white arch
#

Normally, Messi can't defend or tackle but at least that over scoring more to even that gap. But no, he does none. .well maybe some assist but against bayern he did nothing really

honest umbra
#

yes I suppose

white arch
#

Right xavi and Iniesta were amazing

honest umbra
#

i dont get what your point is here

white arch
#

They seemed to left a huge hole in the Barcelona midfield when they left

#

Nobody has been able to fill that gap

honest umbra
#

which is all because of the bad deals barca has made

celest zephyr
#

bottomline is: when bartomeu became the president, the club slowly went on a decline

white arch
#

My point is, Messi is supposed to be the best arguably but on the field in the ucl

#

He's nothing like that

honest umbra
#

i suppose

#

but neymar/mbappe didnt score against bayern either lol

#

neither did anyone in the semis

white arch
#

C'mon

honest umbra
#

its kinda a testament that no one could have scored against bayern

#

who won all 11 games

white arch
#

You're comparing those guys to Messi

celest zephyr
#

the final was a bad game lol

white arch
#

Lol

honest umbra
#

neymar/mbappe are like in the top 5, at worst top 10 in the world

#

and if anything should be the ones scoring against bayern

#

theyre younger and much faster

#

bayerns only maybe weakness was a fast attacker getting behind them

#

yet they couldnt even get like more than 2 good shots away

#

if they were ineffective, what do u expect messi at 33 to do? conjure up his 19 year old?

#

this is 2020, not 2011 lol

celest zephyr
#

messi is still better at age 33

honest umbra
#

yea hes an overall better player

#

but there are some things other players do better

white arch
#

Neymar squandered a lot of chances against bayern. Couldn't even receive simple touches and of course his theatrics never stop. With mbappe idk.

honest umbra
#

esp neymar/mbappe pace

white arch
#

Sometimes idget it

#

Some times they can't shoot the ball to net or they have bricks on em

honest umbra
#

yeah

#

happens sometimes

celest zephyr
#

even davies underperformed

#

but mbappe and davies are still kids, man

white arch
#

^ in the finals

celest zephyr
#

^ in the finals
@white arch yes i forgot to add

white arch
#

Couldn't handle mbappe

#

I was surprised

#

All that speed Davies had couldn't match that of mbappes

winged sparrow
#

well Mbappe has that early Ronaldo speed

white arch
#

If there's one thing I've seen Messi do a lot of the time, it's creating chances. All he needs are the right strikers to make most of em. Suarez used to do that but now, he's been slow and misses a lot of chances. That's why Barcelona wanted Martinez right? And that doesn't seem to be going so well. And now, Messi wants to leave. I wonder how lifeless Barcelona will feel or look like when he actually leaves.

celest zephyr
#

it will take time for the club to recover for sure

#

bartomeu has done significant damage

white arch
#

Yeah that damage bayern did

#

Was p deep

#

And it also been a continuous cycle of em losing

#

How many ofcthe Barcelona players are leaving per koeman's wishes @honest umbra

honest umbra
#

a lot of them

#

suarez, busquets, rakitic, vidal, umtiti

#

pique has been asked to stay

white arch
#

Pique

#

Smh

#

Catalonia involvement

#

Would like Messi to leave? @honest umbra

honest umbra
#

yes

white arch
#

Wow

#

How so

honest umbra
#

it doesnt look good now

#

but its better for both parties long term

#

barca arent gonna be competing for a ucl title anytime soon

#

so they need to stop wasting the time of a guy who only has that many years left at the top

#

man city can offer him that ability to compete at the top with a coach he loves with world class players

#

where barca can take this opportunity to get some money/ppl as opposed to letting messi go for free next summer to rebuild and start again with younger players

#

as opposed to relying on older players

white arch
#

If busquet leaves, guadiola might pick

#

Him

honest umbra
#

nope

#

wouldnt be a good idea

white arch
#

Really

honest umbra
#

fernandinho/rodri are both better rn

#

he'd be a good mentor for rodri but like otherwise why

white arch
#

Ok

honest umbra
#

would be too expensive to sit on the bench imo

white arch
#

Who's side are you on Barcelona or messi

honest umbra
#

both

#

i want my team to be better long term

white arch
#

Lol

honest umbra
#

and i want my GOAT to win more

#

you can support both but accept reality

white arch
#

That's true

sweet tree
#

I'm pretty devastated if I'm being completely honest lol

#

I've been in denial when i saw the news about Messi wanting to leave... they were reported awhile back but i didnt know what to think of it at first once it became official that he asked the club to leave I literally felt nothing but emptiness

#

on one hand from Messi's POV, it's good for Messi to move on and be on a team that can give him more help and a team that can compete for greater things than this current barça squad

#

we're in a transitional year with a coach who might ot might not succeed, a terribly ran management board to add as well so I understand why messi would leave as we can't offer a team that can compete in Europe next season

white arch
#

I believe the convo between koeman and messi was leaked? @honest umbra

sweet tree
#

as a fan tho, this really hurts me a lot lol. I really just wanted him to retire at barça and play his final game for us

white arch
#

Dozens of Barcelona fans have gathered outside the Camp Nou to protest after reports emerged on Tuesday over Lionel Messi's decision to leave the club.
The Barcelona fans are chanting - "Bartomeu, resign!!" shouted the fans, some wearing shirts with Messi's name on the back.

winged sparrow
#

well Kristaps isn't even playing

opal oxide

Of course

#

Patrick isn't either

#

"Kristaps is way better" what else dude. Literally all 4 games it has been Luka Kristaps and PG vs Kawhi or Luka and PG vs Kawhi

proud coyote
#

cricket games take like 7 hours

not 5 days lol

#

specifically pro matches take a few days though

#

if you're ever watching an international event it'll be multi day stuff

celest zephyr
#

so like 7 hours a day for 5 days?

#

why does it take so long? lmfao man

proud coyote
#

nah like 2 hours per day

#

that's specifically in test/whatever it's called

"A pure diarrhea of a game with more flares going off in the crowds than a rescue mission in the Swiss Alps. Complete with fat carling drinking hooligans with missing teeth. Top it off with shirt lifting players, and a whopping average score of 1-0... and there you have it... Total Crap!"

@dim ledge are you an aussie, indian, british...?

silk notch
#

lmaooo

winged sparrow
#

I don't think he's overrated as an on ball defender, but I think people overrate what his defense brings to the team concept. He hounds guys and gets under their skin, but being a point/wing defender only gets you so far since you're only guarding one guy and all these teams have multiple stars. Teams need to figure out good team defense to deal with the duos of the league.

#

@dim ledge are you an aussie, indian, british...?
@celest zephyr The British and Indians esp love cricket lol

#

can't think of any others that worship cricket lol

let's see if i'll fall in love with cricket as well

footy I can get, but cricket is next level snooze fest

#

what about rugby, do you like Rugby?

#

it's like an American Football full english

honest umbra
#

nah

#

im not a rugby fan

dim ledge
#

I'm Greek

#

Pretty smoothbrain to assume someone's ethnicity because of their enjoyment of a sport

celest zephyr
#

i'm just asking, lad. no need to degrade someone.

dim ledge
#

No, asking would've been "where are you from?" Not "are you this set of ethnicities?"

#

Finite differences.

#

Again, not that your ethnicity dictates your enjoyment of a sport

#

Don't watch test cricket though. For your first games they take a while and you may lose your attention span

#

Try highlights of CWC

#

Any world cup version of a sport is top tier to me so

celest zephyr
#

what about rugby, do you like Rugby?
@winged sparrow yeah kinda. i think i watched Australian league one time

#

Try highlights of CWC
@dim ledge yeah i'll watch a full game of pakistan v india later

dim ledge
#

Good choice. You'll get to see my favourite thing about cricket

#

How fired up people get

#

On par with footy, the fans

#

Anything with Australia, India, Pakistan, England, Sri Lanka are great. West Indies too but they've lost quality over the years, they used to be amazing though

celest zephyr
#

can you recommend me a specific india pakistan match?

#

one that excites you the most

#

jesus 51 million views

dim ledge
#

Uhhhh hang on

#

It's an interesting rivalry bc the political tensions between the two nations are so high that when there are matches it's like, insane

#

Usually only CWC matches

#

That being said the one you posted isn't bad but there's a match from 2011 that was really really good

#

29 run win by India but it was a CWC semifinal so high stakes=better matchup

#

Iirc there was a matchup in the late eighties where Pakistan one by a single wicket which is fucking insane

#

If you haven't done your research you may be a bit confused/bored (I tend to be when idk what's going on in a sport) but basically everyone on each team has to bat until everyone is out
Once everyone on the first team bats the second team has to get that many runs before they're all out/wickets are hit

#

The wickets are easily the funnest part of the game, it's a tough skill to hit them against world class batsmen but sometimes it works, like this guy

#

There's a whole lot of other very intricate/confusing nuances about the game but the tldr is that bowler tries to hit the sticks behind the batsman (wicket) to get him out, and the batsman tries to prevent that and get the ball as far from the bowler as possible. If the ball is caught BEFORE it hits the ground, batsman is out

#

Unlike baseball though there are usually exact numbers of runs you can get from hitting the ball. There's a boundary circle you'll see in some videos: if the ball hits that and doesn't go over, that's automatically 4 runs. If it goes over it, that's automatically 6 runs. technically if neither of those are achieved and the defending team is picking up the ball, there's no limit to the amount of runs that can be scored from one ball, but unless the defending team lack hands, it's unlikely you'll get more than 3/4. As a batsman you have to be careful because if you're not in batting position when the ball is returned to the bowler, you're also out

Para los que esperan con esperanza un cambio. Messi ha tomado una decisión irrevocable . No es un pulso a Bartomeu . Ni su dimisión frenaría ya la salida de Messi. No volverá a vestir la camiseta del Barcelona. Triste pero cierto @OndaCero_es

Damn!

#

@celest zephyr mans has a fucking €700m release clause

#

Idk who the fuck is paying that. Barça will have to lower if he's going anywhere

#

This is where it gets interesting. Assuming Messi is adamant about never pulling the shirt on again, what do you do? Lower it so it's more realistic and let your best player possibly ever leave on relatively good terms?

#

Or don't budge and inevitably piss him off more, but show people you mean business?

wild basalt
#

Apparently hes orchestrating a move to Man City

#

Apparently hes going to court to activate that clause where he can leave for free any summer

uh oh

#

Looks like it happened

#

However

#

This delves deeply into politics, so best not to discuss it beyond mentioning it happened

#

I will say however that I'd be surprised if the rest of the games today aren't boycotted as well

simple seal
#

Lebron posted a tweet basically supporting the boycott so yeah I would expect so

celest zephyr
#

it's not a boycott, it's a strike

#

because it's like employees not showing up for work

celest zephyr
#

but yeah i hope it gets better for everyone

unborn sandal
#

apparently Man City is preparing a 200M offer, that may or may not include players. I think Barcelona were interested in Eric Garcia

#

Actually if Messi wins the case on his clause he may as well walk out for free, but he doesn't want to leave Barcelona with empty pockets either, so they'd make an agreement.

dim ledge
#

I was discussing with my friend

#

There's no way Barcelona let Messi leave on a free

#

And there's no way city pay that €700m

#

More than likely, I see this: Barcelona say they won't budge. Messi takes it to court. Barcelona lawyers realize hell probably win. They half the deal, city gives €200-350m plus players.

man city lawyers are op

Why not sterling? 🤔

have you seen Sterling at Man City?

He's a young'n and still has like 10 years + left

Honestly don't think trading anyone is a good idea

Jesus ain't going to be a bench warmer forever Garcia already wants out Bernardo Silva is the mystery

if players aren't happy then it makes sense

otherwise I just don't think crippling your team for Messi is a good idea

garcia already wanted to go

i dont have faith in jesus being the main striker after aguero leaves

oh yeh, what's this about Messi leaving Barcelona?
I don't follow European football sorry, just saw a headline on ESPN
@hollow wind president of FC Barcelona is slowly destroying the club, and their recent massive loss against another greater football club made his decision to leave anyway

hollow wind

damn

#

that's pretty big news

silk notch
#

i think barca will be fine

celest zephyr
#

basically they can't afford messi so they have to sell players

#

rough translation: Neither #ManchesterCity neither #PSG can pay transfer + contract #Messi because they would break the financial FairPlay. And it would be risky since they are under the magnifying glass of #UEFA and #FIFA . For that reason they will offer players in exchange in negotiations with the #FCBarcelona .

messi was kinda making it hard to fit coutinho and griezmann and if demeble can stay fit they will still be a good side

ehh not really, ronaldo is 35 years old rn and by the time champions league would be in full effect he'd be 36

and Messi is about to be 34

they'd still probs make a good union, but I wouldn't be scared of the pairing tbh

is their play declining?

like their skills

#

due to age

winged sparrow
#

well Ronaldo is still winning championships in Serie A etc but that's just coz Serie A ain't really a deep league, it's like an Italian farmers league

#

Ronaldo has been bounced out of the Champions league like 2wice now, and Ronaldo isn't getting any better

#

he can still play it's just not as effective considering all the competition now

#

and you saw what happened to Messi

now Ronaldo and Messi at say age 27-30 would have been VERY daunting

But the point is moot anyway since Messi isn't going to play with his rival lol

proud coyote

most efficient is harden

already

honest umbra

lebron, mj, magic, etc were better at other things and probably overall things

but i think kd is the hardest scorer in nba history to stop

efficient, juba? harden?

idk

proud coyote

from a pure scoring efficiency standpoint

#

it's not even close, frankly

honest umbra

its hard for me to describe kd without making ppl think that im describing him as the GOAT

but he is honestly just the best shooter

he's the best shooter yeah

honest umbra

people can clown him for being on the GSW

proud coyote

eye test: when I watch KD, he looks like the most effortless scorer

and yea it gave him a few more open shots with good ball movement

but KD destroyed lebron in the finals

and thats with all due respect to lebron

he was never the problem in OKC

that makes me sad, juba

i also saw the top scorers for the last decade

kd, harden, westbrook occupy 8 of the 10 spots

honestly the only scorers I would definitely put above KD are Wilt, Jordan, and Kobe

KD is a beast

i think in terms of scorers

harden might actually be there

for sure

in terms of shooters

kd, curry and klay might actually all be in top 5

which is yea..

100% that's why GS was a hack

that's just insanity

and game 6 against okc which made kd leave okc (after they lost game 7)

when everyone went cold except him

when klay is on, there is no other player id take in the nba in terms of pure shooting

hollow wind

when Klay gets hot, he's unstoppable

he won't miss

if its overall scoring though, no other player id take other than dame or harden
