Povertyball fans, hold this L.

[Clipper Nation]

The GOAT of your "sport" just got suspended for 4 games... for insulting a ref:

http://www.espnfc.com/argentina/story/3090900/fifa-hands-lionel-messi-four-match-ban-for-insulting-referee-in-world-cup-qualifier-vs-chile

What kind of a pussified excuse for a "sport" is this? Oh yeah, the one where a literal midget is the greatest player ever, every game ends in a 0-0 tie, and the corrupt refs' fee-fees are so fragile that you get four games off for "insulting" them.

I'll back DAF86 here.

In my limited time watching the midget and the plastic looking Ken Doll faggot with the 5.0 sec 40 and shit 30" vert, it was even obvious to me that Messi is the more skilled and impactful player. Better with the ball, better touch, more creative, and more explosive, which is funny given Ken Doll's obvious PED use.

That said, does Tic-Tac-Toe ball have any advanced metrics? You can't do on/off in Tic-Tac-Toe, but you could easily devise a metric that correlates player touches to goals/shots on target. i.e Messi produces 1 goal per 100 touches, whether through scoring or goal creation. When Messi doesn't touch the ball, his team's goal/100 drops to .50. Something like that.

[midnightpulp]

Ah. They do.

Gotta love these povertyball fans. Darth posts a couple of images to show that Messi is really a midget compared to "athletes" in other major sports. Here comes 3 floptrot fans to give their opinions. We'll call them Tic, Tac, and Toe.

Tic- "Messi is not the GOAT. OP is a faggot"
Tac- "I doubt Messi even knows who J.J. Watt is. Who cares that he's holding his jersey?"
Toe- "Look at all these faggots. They would rather watch mongoloids play for 7 hours."

Notice how neither Tic, Tac, or Toe said one gotdamn thing about how Messi looks like a toddler compared to other athletes who play real sports..

Weight class based sport, though.

Of course Messi is an athlete. CN is just using soccerfan's logic of fat=unathletic against them by twisting it to short=unathletic. In pretty much every sport aside from the soccer that isn't weight class based, the short guy is usually dominated, unless you're a super-super athlete like Barry Sanders.

This goes beyond the baseball vs. soccer debate. I see this logic from soccer fans toward American Football, too. "I tried watching their 'handegg' Super Bowl and all I saw was a bunch of fat guys smashing into each other for 2 seconds and then having to take a break. Seems you don't even have to fit to play it, mate!"

This always begs the question from me: Why are European sports fans so obsessed with "stamina?"

"Because playing through fatigue is the ultimate endurance test!"

Fair enough, but soccer doesn't really push an athlete in this regard. Average soccer player might cover 7 miles in a 90 minute game. Do the math, and his average speed is 5mph, which is walking speed. Soccer's cardio demands is nothing an NFL skill position player couldn't handle.

I know damn well what Clipper Nation was trying to do, it's a lame counterargument though.

When you think of an athlete the first thing that comes to mind is a person that is fit, regardless of height. In fact, most of the athletes all around the World are on the shorter side of the spectrum.

Only in baseball and NFL linemen you find overweight "athletes" (cue in the pic of a no name Russian weight-lifter with a belly, or of an amateur soccer league substitue keeper).

Did you not just see ITT the pictures of fat rugby props? :lol

Did you see how fat and out of shape George Foreman was when he won the world championship? Have you seen how fat some Olympic wrestlers are?

Also, who gives a shit what an athlete looks like? Ronaldo is lean and shredded and completely underwhelming athletically. Size doesn't betray athletic ability. Like your favorite target Sandoval, just as fast as Messi.

[PingPong]

It's all about physics, folks. Short guys like Messi have low center of gravity, which is an advantage in soccer's abrupt changes of direction, start and stop.
Soccer players run an average 7 miles per game, some reaching 9.5 miles. Players like Arjan Robben can reach 23 miles per hour in a run( the olympic sprinter qualifying speed is something about 22 miles/hour) and some have a 3 ft vertical leap in the grass. Cristiano Ronaldo can generate a 5 g power in a jump. But most of soccer players have weak upper body because their strength need to be in the lower body and the lighter upper body lower the center of gravity.

Sorry, buddy. I know the run you're talking about and it was debunked.


The winger was reported to have clocked 37 kilometres per hour (23mph) as he burned Sergio Ramos for pace during Netherlands' World Cup clash with Spain in Salvador on June 13.

However, Robben's speed has now been amended to 31km/h - and the Dutchman is not in the least bit surprised, joking that he never felt like he was in the same category as 100 metres world record holder Usain Bolt.
