That shot was clearly easier, you don't need to be a footy player to see the skills involved, and I played footy for 10 years from under tens to late teens and I frequently watch Michael Laudrup and Michu train live.
I know my shit. My BMI is also 20% that's normal unless you're a weedy nerd on ESR. Like a lot of you are.
No, no its not. Me, im pretty tall and lanky, if i were healthy my BMI would indicate 17 to 18, and everyone around me would moan its too low. Hence why this scale would work for a perfectly average person, but its merely an indication, nothing more.
the complexiteis of Persies was vastly superior, and unlike you it has nothing to do with nationality cos I'm not dutch.
Robbens was from a corner, unmarked on an 18 yard line, RVP run 30+ yards on to that 60+ yard pass and changed his run speed to make it happen while being flanked by two defenders and having to look backwards while running.
Not even close.
I would shit myself if I scored that goal, even at a sunday league level.
uhm, what? robben and persie are both dutch and i'm not... what in fuck does nationality have to do with anything here?
i've been a fan of dutch football ever since i can walk (and kick a ball), imo (and experience) overhead volleys are far easier than ones coming from a corner/side since you don't have to change the direction of the ball. pretty simple, actually :d
ALmost every weekend someone scores a goal like RVP's. Additionally robben could only shoot right next to the bar, RVP couldve asked the goalie where he would like the shot to go.
Jamerio: "based on me making a factual observation" ..
what does this have to do with him beeing ugly? I mean.. you are ugly too, does this automatically discredit anything you post on esr too?
It was long time a-coming. Barcelona is so one-dimensional and Messi dependant that once people started figuring them out they fell flat on their face without a plan b. You could see all the cracks in their armour when they played against Celtic, Milan and PSG. The Bayern game was simply a coup-de-grace.
Meanwhile Mourinho became so obsessed with matching and beating Barcelona that he seemingly forgot other good teams exist in europe. They're no longer the team to beat, and they haven't been in a while, let's see what good ol' Jose can do next, although i think he won't be in Madrid much longer.
Malaga had a good run but it was a one off and even without the ban they'd be back in the gutter next season. Atletico is already breaking apart, there'll be little left after the summer sale, just back to being a feeder team along with Valencia, Sevilla, Bilbao etc.
Can't say much else than that. I hope other German teams get their shit together and start making waves, no other league in Europe deserves being #1 more than Bundesliga now.

Especially Mönchengladbach and Leverkusen have alot of potential. The latter playing in European cups for quite some time now.
If Gladbach manages to keep Favre as coach, run the club smoothly and choose their picks carefully, there's much room for improvement. Leverkusen being a well-run club for years, they just need a kind of breakthrough again like the season where they went into the CL final against real.
Don't have much hopes for Schalke since their periphery is shit, has always been shit and forever will be shit.
