Why has no other region of the world produced a Messi, a Pelé, or a Maradona?1. Mesii2. Pelé3. Maradona
>>152629181It's a team sport. Europe produces better teams.
>>152631692>conmebol: 10 countries>uefa: 55 countriesalso that's missing the uruguay gold medals
>>152631692"We" will never have as many Rigmet trophies.>>152631712Add concacrap to conmelol and check if that makes any difference.
>>152631712So there's more competition to qualify in Europe. It's not like South America where there's like 10 teams and 6 of them qualify.>uruguay gold medalsGood Christ. Are we going to include the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy too? Incidentally it's what created the world cup as we know it now with a whole plethora of rules because a ragtag group of miners from the Norf suffering from consumption fucking humiliated the best the world had to offer. They didn't even do it once neither, they did it twice.Don't get me started Mexico because you are walking on thin fucking ice as it is.
>>152631111Quads of truth. That said, Ronaldinho is the greatest player there ever was.
oh no no nowould you look at that>Isak underwent surgery on Monday and while there is no timescale offered on the injury, the 26-year-old is expected to be out for a few months.https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13486859/alexander-isak-injury-liverpool-confirm-sweden-striker-suffered-leg-fracture-after-micky-van-de-ven-challenge
>>152630876Considering initially we all thought ACL, yes it's about as good news as possible
>>152630887Maybe he might learn how to play for a big club by then.
>Trooncastle
>>152630660Such a baffling purchase by liverpool
>>152631585Socialist club innit. If they want to spend £500m in one window and still need PGMO to rescue them who are we to argue?Just be thankful you aren't the player who dragged them to relevance, their best ever player in fact, who they're now trying to hound out of the club because he, on merit, called out their dogshit manager.

>Allegri>Rabiot>GattiI guess you have to do something if you're unable to fill your own "meme" folders...
>>152631805>>152631825WTF I kneel 8lini
>>152631805cant they take kalunegru back instead
>>152632178They will take Vlahovic in June so you can finally support bbilan :)
I’m morbidly curious to see Allnegru’s project continue to develop. Fullgrug is extremely Allegrian, and then you add a bunch of Jj rejects that he himself failed to unlock. After that we might even get the pleasure of seeing his oneitis Isco and perhaps even an Emre Can comeback. Anthony Martial? Never say never.
>didn't even show the phantom holding callFuck the refs
Hey refs, get back in ya she sheds ya fuckin queers
>>152632385In OT. Perfect fucking pass. And inl watched it 199 times, ball didn't even come close to the turf. Just beauty all around.Bears cant wait to play san fran.

>>152632617Too specific. Homie knows how to get s gay by. Props desu
>team is literally called “browns”>color is orange Okay…?
>>152618295No, but you're welcome to be unfunny about this here
>>152608582They ate too many carrots
photographer here, have you ever seen the color dark orange?You have, its called brown.Brown and orange are indeed the same color.

Any other examples of beautiful historic stadiums that don't get used anymore?
>>152618335This gets used for an easy 3 points every other week
My nigga Darius is still MVP 226 A.D.
>>152626072Most of these stadiums were built in sections over often over a century. That's why so many older big clubs in England have abandoned their "classic" stadiums over the last decade or so for more "American" style megastadiums. Even United is building a New Trafford for a couple billion quid because simply put, even a big budget Frankenstein stadium is still a Frankenstein stadium and has stand built at angles that simply didn't seem possible or necessary at any given time.
>>152625839partly why I love Neyland stadium, it’s right in the heart of the campus by the riverif only we could hollow out the entire earth below campus and put parking there
>>152611153Harvard and yale have cool old stadiums
>>152578198What was he supposed to do? Stand and bang?
>>152578298Yes and his gf's pussy juice
>>152578198Seriously what happened with this fight? Did Jake fool himself into thinking he was an actual boxer after his previous rigged fights, or did AJ go off script?
>>152578198kwab
>>152580250BTFO'd him completely
Who fought better?
>>152611897He is going to need some decent pain killers for a good long while after this one. Fucking ouch. Eating is going to be a massive pain too... good luck in your struggles bro.
>>152601996Did Tyson throw the fight against Paul for $$$? Rewatch the later rounds, you could see Tyson beating on him then Jake says calm down and he backs down.
we dont watch that crap live
>>152602143>Jake is actually a decent boxer.I watched the fight and he seemed terrible to me. He kept his hands down all fight, couldn't defend and couldn't dodge anything either. If Joshua wanted to he could've KO'ed him in the first round.
>>152602327Joshua himself started at 18 and already won five years later Olympic gold
Someone starts it.Patrice Daka after his equalizer for Zambia.
The fuck why is afcon at this time of year?
Twainbros?holy shit wtf is this captcha?
>>152631701playing a tournament in Africa in the middle of summer doesn't sounds like the smartest idea ever
>>152631701nigga it's africait gets hot in the summer
>>152631892>>152632168>yuro education
Is he the most skilled boxer of all time?
Heavyweight yes but there will always be someone more skilled at the lighter weightclasses as a general rule
>>152624810holyfield got beaten twice by lewis btw
>>152627992Lewis won the first fight and got robbed.Holyfield won the rematch but the judges had to "correct" the previous decision.Holyfield would've won by KO if they had a third fight, like Marquez on Pacquiao he was starting to get his timing down.
>>152627857Lower weight classes are irrelevant. Only little manlets follow them. The rest of the planet only cares who the heavyweight champ is.
>>152632286Mayweather made the most money so if the world only cares about heavyweight it's not being reflected in PPV revenue. Usyk is a cruiserweight and we just watched him move up to heavyweight and dog walk the whole division. Opetaia might do the same after he unifies at cruiser and moves up.
Lando Norris winning has got to be the most boring conclusion to the championship. Why was it so boring? No one literally cared he won. F1 will die.
>Xmas is coming
do NOT look at Yasmine Baker's instagram story
>>152615690Not sure how Leafs feel about rugby but they might be an easier sell. CFL is even closer to League than NFL is. Less so going forward with the changes though.
>>152624240They had a team playing in the English league for a few years, Toronto Wolfpack, everything seemed to be going well until covid and some of the English clubs don’t want to have to play in Canada. The real issue with expanding into non-playing countries/regions is the lack of junior clubs, the game needs that base of families and kids playing through the age level grades at local clubs then playing opens (adult) and having pathways into the professional clubs. For example in Toronto they should set up at least 4-6 clubs with teams going every year from under 7s up to under 16s then 18s and 21s (or even 23s) then opens, ideally close enough to each other for travel to not be any concern. After that you have a system in place to select the best players to play for the pro team, and you augment that by bringing in mercenaries from outside, and you have a growing fanbase of young people and families who are all attached to and part of that club. Most of the NRL clubs do this or something similar, some of them are more parasitic than others
>>152624496>The real issue with expanding into non-playing countries/regions is the lack of junior clubs, the game needs that base of families and kids playing through the age level grades at local clubs then playing opens (adult) and having pathways into the professional clubs.In all likelihood it's too niche of a sport over here in the Americas. Union is likely to swallow up most of the potential athletes.
>>152628137Yeah it can be niche, the thing is not to worry about national reach and exposure rather to start it off locally at the grassroots and let it grow. There’s no need for some kind of major league rugby league just get some regional competition(s) going and they can be semi-pro but the main thing is they should be teams close enough to each other that travel isn’t expensive. There’s already some teams in NYC and Philadelphia for example and they aren’t far away from each other for the adult competition but they are far too far for juniors so you need 4-6 junior clubs around each of the senior clubs, ideally really close like mostly 15 minutes from each other so it’s not difficult for families to get the kids to their away games on weekends. As for union poaching players it’s not something to worry about because league is a better game and eventually, if properly administrated, poaches union by the club and competition
