Paperhouse posted:Should long distance goals count as double? Like basketball where a goal is 3 points if the striker shoots it in the goal from a certain distance, should goals in football count as double if they scored from a certain distance? Double if they're scored from your own half, triple if they're scored by a goalkeeper from anywhere on the field

If you score a goal so hard that the net breaks and the ball keeps going, you win the game instantly no matter what the score is

At Everton Fellaini happened to be in a system that highlighted his strengths and hid his weaknesses, so I'm unsurprised if some posters here maybe saw him as one of the league's better midfielders around the time of his move to Man U. I don't remember the kind of "best in Europe" hyperbole though.

julian assflange posted:*In Manchester United version of Xabi voice* haha remember when every Liverpool fan ever said Djimi Traoré was better than Cannavaro? I have all the posts somewhere but don't have archives so you'll just have to take my word for it Djimi Traore has won the Champions League more times than Cannavaro though

EC10 posted:abolish all international football other than the world cup. its all poo poo and happens far too regularly, and the best players in the world end up getting worked too hard. of course they should be allowed to choose to skip and the clubs that pay them should have a say in it imo get rid of all qualifiers and friendlies every four years the world cup happens, all the world's countries play a straight knockout with no group stage every four years spaced separately from the world cup the different continental associations have their tournaments which are also straight knockouts with no group stage also no seeding, every draw is totally random

Shoren posted:America pays the men's team and at a higher rate than the women and the women throw a fit about it from time to time. Isn't it the case that in women's football some national associations pay their players throughout the year, not just for matches, since they don't make enough from their clubs to actually train full-time?

Shroud posted:Seriously? But Cameroon didn't even bother calling him up. He said he didn't want to play, they didn't call him up, and now they're just forcing him to not play for Liverpool out of spite. If they had called him up and he had actually refused the call there might be a case for the regulations playing a role here. But the precedent actually being set in this case is that international teams can arbitrarily decide that any player of their nationality, even if they aren't named in the tournament squad, can be banned from club football while the international team plays a tournament. Which is an insanely dumb precedent.

Ninpo posted:On the last Football Ramble they talked about how people say keepers are "good shot stoppers" and how you'd expect that, the better keepers are better at other things as well. They made the point that Bravo can distribute but can't save shots and gave some crazy stat that he's pretty much conceded every shot on target. Pep is so used to dominating leagues with 80% possession and needing a keeper who's more of a last-line midfielder that has to save one shot a game that he forgot to buy a keeper who can actually save that one shot

Reprisal posted:Henderson out injured Nah imo Mane being gone is a bigger deal. In the seven games he's been gone we've scored 5 goals, compared to 16 in the seven before he left. Having him on the field makes us much more able to unlock stubborn defences because he runs at defenders and doesn't immediately lose the ball. Without him our offence lacks penetration and just passes side-to-side all day. Coutinho being out also hasn't helped, he's inconsistent but has those occasional wonder moments where he just threads a pass through perfectly or beats a couple defenders to open up space for someone else. We're not actually conceding many more goals than we were before this month, the defence has been shaky for about five years and that hasn't changed, the difference is we're losing games 1-0 or 2-1 when a month or two ago we were winning those 2-1 or 4-2. We'll see if the team improves when Mane is back, but I wouldn't be surprised if this bad run has sapped a lot of morale out of the rest of the squad and they don't feel like they're invincible or can win every game anymore. The one bright note I guess is that at least a lot of these bad performances have been in cup games, so if the team does manage to turn it around the chance of a strong league finish hasn't been completely thrown away along with the chance of silverware.
