Exactly You cannot build a team around a 33 year old Messi any more. Xavi was phased out. Iniesta was phased out. It's time for Barca to contemplate phasing out Messi little by little.

Once you mark out Messi we look so darn ordinary. I thought we would have learnt from last season.

Griezmann is just another Dybala situation to me. They are not compatible because they operate in the same space. If you want griezmann to flourish you give him a free role in the team.

You know your soccer.

Cut that crap abeg

He’s always confuse and always passing the ball back rather than boost out attack

So what would you expect someone who is not a winger to do? Dribble players and pull out crosses?

Only one formation... #PasstoMessi formation.

This formation has made our midfielders and attackers impotent.

And even Messi is noticeably slower. It is a bad strategy to still be depending on him. Like build around someone else so Messi can be free to wreck teams.

Tammys legs are wide apart, Girouds legs are almost together

Just because he did not want to accept that Giroud outjumped his VVD.

See Tammy, clearly taller than Giroud. Even putting his hands over Giroud's shoulders at an angle that shows he is taller.

Yet they want me to take CFC website that said Tammy is 1 inch shorter than Giroud.

All those citadel nonsense, i don't even care. Nobody should just talk nonsense and think we should just accept without thorough look.

That's how the same eruditor claimed "tallness is a talent", and we should accept because he could type 1000 words per minute. He was subsequently disgraced.

I am only replying this because you mentioned my moniker. You are still trying hard to redeem yourself and it is funny to behold.

BTW, there are at least 3 people who visit here and are ardent basketball watchers. Ask them to tell you about the only 2 skills James Harden said another basketball player has. I want to check something.

I don't know the origin of the argument (I stated that ab initio), neither do I know who's taller between Cahill and Giroud. I'm just concurring with Airmark's position that when one's height is measured in the straight position with both legs firmly closed together, when such a person raises one of legs from that exact position, his height won't increase. The leg he's standing on must be flatly placed on the floor and not lifted from the floor.

I know you mean well but it is better you observed the discussion from where it stemmed from. It will help you understand how to come in.

You see all that akimbo and alert. It was a ploy to divert the argument. Same goes with accurate measurement of height and how your legs apart won't give an accurate measurement of one's height. Nobody was discussing it all.

But even if Courtois opens his leg, he will still be taller than Kante. I don't need to know he is 6'6" or not. In the same way, I was trying to prove that Cahill is taller than Giroud to prove that VVD is indeed taller than 6'3" Giroud.

Because I did not have a huge trove of pics to prove it. I brought up other 6'3" people of different variations (anyone 190-192 cm is regarded as 6'3" although some are weak and some strong) to show that in pictures VVD looks ~ 2 inches taller than them. Alison Becker, Klopp for example.

I also brought the fact that Matip who many list as 6'5" is not taller than VVD in most of their pictures. Then finally, Fraser Forster who is listed as 6'7" looks maximum of 2 inches taller than VVD.

You can tell that I am trying to argue that VVD is a very strong 6'4" (194.5 cm) or a weak to average 6'5" (196cm) guy.

Now tie that with Pogba, Cahill who are strong 6'3" s. And see that both Pogba (in many pictures) and Cahill (one good pic we have + CFC fan link) are taller than Giroud. So we can conclude that if VVD is taller than other 6'3" people, he will be taller than Giroud with about the same 2inches. That is how to analyze.

The funny people (there are actually just 2 of them) who want to argue rubbish using CFC website. Side-stepped the fact that the same website said Giroud was taller than Tammy Abraham. Because that website is probably reporting a measurement that was taken when Tammy was 16-18. Tottenham Website said Eriksen was 6'0" (weak one - 182cm) but the player himself said on a Danish TV show that he is 178 cm.

Tammy Abraham is an average 6'5" or at his minimum, a a weak one (he is clearly taller than Rudiger, Zouma etc.) And both Rudiger and Zouma are listed as the same 190cm that CFC website gave Tammy. That should tell you one thing, if nothing else...the website cannot be trusted.


My final word.

That's the tactics most teams use and will continue to use until His teammates decide to turn up and make things easier to for Him. AD and Bron were also taking turns banging with Him in the post. That shyte is going to tire you out eventually.



The series in tied 1all too. Both teams won at home. However what His significant about this game is that the Buck's loss is much closer to the playoffs. True about the Heats plus they've actually won both of their match ups.



100%....There absolutely is. He is never going to be as Silky smooth as Steph or Durant is but bet He is working hard to improve His game. His FT % for instance has come on leaps and bounds since He changed His routine I think before the All star break(His 3 missed shot came after His knee tweak).



LOOOL C'mon bruh did you actually think that? No chance they win 70 games let alone threaten your record. Your record will be safe for a longgggg time. A fully Fit Clippers are the Best and Most well rounded team in the playoffs. Also looking forward to that game.

Banging him in the post and getting sometimes flimsy free throws which they were making. Those things add up.

The L IMHO has nothing to do with the playoffs. If anything it made it clear the Bucks will win a 7-game series against LAL because they will have home court and even fringe players generally shoot better at home.

Yes, to me, he has added some level of 3-point shooting but I also think he needs a consistent midrange and some other ways of attacking the paint even when bodies are packed in the paint.

Clippers have the highest peak but they are flattering. I don't want to call them frauds yet but the much defence everyone thought they would have is at best mediocre. They tend to step up when they want so I know they would be good. But for now, not so.

buck's bought perimeter shooters because of Giannis, that team was built with him in mind over the last 3years, that is reversible especially now, given the way they play another star would be wasted, its not worth it, besides what do they have to trade? Asides Giannis?

He isnt going no place, if he does, he would take so much hate, it will be heavy on his career, lebron and Kawhi got nothing compared to what buck fans will to do Giannis, his entire family is being taken care of by the fans and franchise, like he is their jesus literally, don't play guy man is not going anywhere, if anything, they have draft picks but be honest, given how good they have been, their picks will be too low for teams to desire, bucks have their work cut out for them and its almost impossible, I don't even want to think about it.

Translation: I am praying he does not go there. Jesus please let him not go there. Sh** the league will be dominated by one team again if he goes there.

The change is minimal.
It's something that s simple.. Pure physics

That's the mistake you are making, ..when measuring height, after 150cm is not 151cm, you still have 150.1cm, 150.2cm etc

I did not see this in time.

So, assuming you're 150cm, on raising your one leg, you'd become 151cm or what?

Why don't you walk into a hospital and measure your height when you're standing straight and when you've raised your leg, let's see the number of inches raising your leg added to your height then.

LOL

Try it agn.... A change will occur, human body is built to be balance with both legs, tempering with the equilibrium, by raising one leg, will immediately Lead to slight change in height.

Someone who is already arguing that he does not care about where the argument stemmed from is blowing hot air.

Whether Giroud is taller than Cahill is none of my business. I didn't confirm that either. I'm only saying when your height is measured in a straight position with your legs clasped together, raising one leg up won't another inch to your position. That's my stance.

At this juncture, your opinion is summarily useless.

From what I've read from last page to your post, Airmark is not wrong. See, what Airmark is saying is that when your height is measured in a STRAIGHT POSITION (which is the official and universally accepted way), raising one leg won't add or even reduce your height. No expert takes your height measurement while you're standing at akimbo or with some angles between your legs.

When your two legs are closed and are straight and your height is taken, raising one leg up doesn't alter it. It's when you're at akimbo like the diagram Ibime posted, that your height increases when you stand on one leg coz you'd be forced to stand erect. It's just common sense.

To confirm this, walk into a hospital near you and tell them you want to measure your height. The expert will tell you to stand beside the measuring equipment. Now, consciously part your legs a bit and you'd see that the next thing he or she would tell you is to close your legs together and face front without looking down. These measures are to eliminate any factor that will reduce your actual height. After taking your height measurement, raise one leg up and no inch will be added to the new measurement.

The pictures of the players posted while they were standing at ease won't tell you the full picture unless the disparity in their heights are much.

So where did anybody say that the official position for measuring height is when someone is at akimbo?

So who was more at ease in the picture (I uploaded) and yet still taller? I just want to check something.

Make we hear word about defence ojare. They did community defending for Giannis. The home team deserved to win and Lebron on the offensive end was aggressive.

Now, it is time for the "it is just a regular season game" energy to be maintained. Don't use it when you lose twice to the Clippers but celebrate it when you beat the Bucks. They got owned by Miami and the Spurs too. Na so regular season dey take be sometimes.

There are still some palpable limitations to Giannis' game. But imagine having to play him this hard and hope his usually reliable Chris Middleton stinks up the joint again. I don't wager it is likely.

As a GSW man I just wanted Bucks to catch that 10th L so I can rest knowing 73-9 is still intact. Sunday will tell me more of what I want to see. After all, you have to come out of the west to be able to face Giannis and his Bucks.

Bro,

Stop wasting your time trying to correct those that are ignorant and don't wanna listen.

Cahill is taller than Giroud.

Some are scared of bn wrong, that is why they turn and turn, like amala.

Faceless forum like Nairaland and people care so much about their reputation. It baffles me. I was not even taking him seriously until he started throwing insults. I thought he just wanted to defend his VVD because Giroud outjumped him.

You are comparing pictures of players in action on a football pitch. Nobody is standing alert. They will all have their feet slightly apart for balance. Even if you pose for picture deliberately, there will be some loss of angle from putting both feet down.

I challenge you to stand with both legs slightly apart, then shift to one foot, you will see that your body will shift slightly toward that foot centre of gravity and straighten you up.

Man's is trying not to analyse the picture he himself posted.
