@ronet2 You probably triggered the ulcer wound from the energetic back and forth you were expending during the sex. Ulcer patients are advised against strenuous activity. The relentless pounding away brought you here .Nothing from your narration suggests any potential infection by HIV. |
Kimbeast:Absolute balderdash. An exception can never nullify an "averages" law, rather it reinforces it. I will suggest you educate yourself on what the concept means. Mention any other players in Kane's bucket. If you have an elite player, sooner or later an elite club will snap him up and then the trophies will roll in over time. It's a fact of football. Messi produced the highest G/A of all players in history (not sure of Pele's record though). He has the highest number of trophies in history. There is a direct correlation regardless of the other variables. Without Messi's G/A, Barca would not have won as many trophies they've won and neither would Argentina have. 5 goals for a football team has the same impact, whether 3 goals and 2 assists or 5 goals from a penalty spot by a single player. The 8 goals Spain scored in 2010 had the impact of winning them the WC. The source of the 8 goals is secondary so long as the entire team could produce the 8 goals at those points. To an athletics team, 2 gold and 3 silver is not as important as 5 gold medals, but 2 goals and 3 assists in football carries the same weight as 5 goals for the team (that you cannot see this distinction is baffling and frankly tiring). The objective of football is from a team's perspective and not a single player. |
Kimbeast:It's called an "average" law for a reason meaning there would be outliers on both sides, but for the most part the majority would fit in. There's a reason Harry Kane's case is attracting attention because it is an anomaly. For every Harry Kane, you have Messi, Pele, De Lima, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Iniesta, Xavi, Henry, Lampard, Gerard, KDB and even CR7. You really don't get it do you. To a Football coach, two goals and 3 assists means 5 goals for his team. Whether the 5 goals come from a single or multiple players is secondary. To an athletes' coach, 2 gold and 3 silver medals remain 2 gold and 3 silver medals. Big difference. Pep is right. But when you have a player who only does the hardest thing, while there is another who does both the hardest thing and the second hardest thing consistently, pray tell who would be considered more effective by this same Pep Guardiola? |
monerozi5590:Ok let me simplify. You said aim of football is to score goals. And my point in response is that scoring is just one part of the aim. There are other critical parts which include creation of goals and preventing your opponent from scoring. A great coach looks at all of these parts together and not just an individual scoring otherwise you'd have a case of high-scoring teams like Newcastle and Crystal Palace who languish in the lower end of the table. My point is tactical. Spain won WC 2010 with 8 goals while Germany with 11 goals crashed out of Euro 2024 QFs. If the aim was just to score goals, Germany would be considered better, yet it is not so. But the effective possession style by Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets stifled the opposition chances and gave Spain the platform to win the WC. The other point is that any player that contributes most to the success of the team's overall goals be it in goalscoring, assisting and defending or a combo of them all will be adjudged the best. It is not automatic that the player with the most goals is considered the best. It mostly is but not always. C'est fini. |
monerozi5590:No there is a difference. Aim of team is not just to score goals. It's like saying aim of a company/business is just to make money. No, it is to make profits which requires you to both make money and minimize your costs. That is what propels you to be a successful and sustainable entity. For a football team, objective is both scoring goals and preventing them on the other end. That is what defines the team's success. |
Kimbeast:And your first paragraph is completely flawed. The dynamics of an athlete's performance perception which is mostly individual is completely different from that of a football team. The analogy is so ridiculous. A football coach will prefer a player that gives 25 goals and 20assists to another that gives him 30 goals and 2 assists because based on the law of averages the player with the 45G/A performance will tend to create more overall success for the team than the 30-goal player. It is no coincidence that Messi has won the highest number of trophies over 895 goal Pendu because over time amidst the highs and lows, this law stands true. Top scorer is a matter of goals, but most effective player is down to overall impact. |
monerozi5590:Naah, get this straight. The aim of a football team is to win matches. You win the most matches by getting your team to score goals and preventing your opponents from scoring. Any player that contributes most to these critical success factors will be recognized as the best. A player who scores 20 goals and created 20 assists will be considered better than one who scored 25 goals with 3 assists, because the former has helped his team achieve 12 more goals than the latter. A player who consistently prevents other teams from scoring or having scoring opportunities and by so doing gives his team the platform to win most games and even trophies is often considered more effective than one who just scores goals that takes his team nowhere. The first reason is why Messi is hands down better than Pendu. The second reason is why Rodri is the Euros MVP ahead of Gbarry Kane & co and his team rarely loses when he's on the pitch. Y'all reasoning is why Ronaldo prefers to score a goal while his team loses than the other way round. The GOAT would never do that cos that can never make him the best. |
Ijustwantto:Yeah bro. It's remarkable how the stars eventually aligned for him. For a while then, I used to wonder what heads greats like Dinho, Kaka, Zizou, Henry, Iniesta, Xavi etc had that was so difficult for Messi to also have since all these glorious international trophies came to these guys without relatively breaking a sweat. In the end, Messi laughed last and laughed best. |
andrewbaba44:That his final goal was the clincher for me as to his big game mentality. |
Even during the 2016 - 2020 wilderness era, I never accepted the superiority of the trolling by Pendulums because Messi still gave us one potent weapon to use; his individual performance records was still superior to Pendu's. Despite that, I must admit the lack of a senior international trophy constantly stretched every sinew of my brain in coming up with convincing counter offensives against the relentless Pendutrolls. My mental Maldini against these loud Lukakus over who the Goat is stood strong. The battles against KCalls/Bjean, Obembeaten, Jokerman (before he saw the light and is now only putting up appearances), Lordadamned etc were intriguing. Come July 2021, GOAT brought me succor. The relief was indescribable, the joy overwhelming. It felt like when Captain Marvel and the previously dead Avengers entered the battle to turn the tide against Thanos and his army. Dispatching the Pendustees became remarkably easier, their weak attempts to mount any form of attack brushed aside with a picture of a giant 85cm Copa cup. And then came 18 December 2022, GOAT gave us the ultimate nuclear weapon, blasting the entire penaldom into smithereens. Now, all we have are occasional whimpers. The final death knell sounded yesterday extinguishing all but the last traces of pendulife. Messi FC we won! |
andrewbaba44:It actually took me a while before I realized Rodri was no longer playing in the 2nd half. That was how good Zubi's performance was. We need that DM cover desperately. Adding Nico will be a coup. He won me over this tournament. |
Of course, even if Man City play Madrid now, City will still be the favorites. That in itself tells the story of who is considered more dominant. |
This is a very good PR for Trump even with the allegations that it might have been staged. The sympathy this has brought him has propelled him to clear frontrunner status come November. Never mind that the shooter is a registered republican. Democrats need a Sherlock Holmes to unravel this convincingly. Otherwise they should say Otilor.
|
BarrElChapo:Not disputing that at this stage Trump clearly seems to have the upper hand going into the elections. However, the shooter has been confirmed to be a white Republican and not a dem.
|
The shooter has been identified as Matthew Crooks, a white male and 20 year old registered Republican.

Ahmed Musa has only one Nations cup goal across 4 AFCONs, but Baba na Nigeria's highest goal scorer in WC with 4 goals in just 2 tournaments. AFCON no be your mate. 2 WCs equals one AFCON P.S: Just test-running how it feels to have stupidity as brain fuel |
hensben:Peut-etre la mask lui limite. |
chic2pimp:That's key to his imminent success. The frightening thing is that in three years time, Lamine will still be just 19. I mean 3 years is a whole lot in football and by then, it'll still be like we're just getting a brand new Yamal. The prospect is crazy. |
hensben:C'est vrai. Avec deux joueurs magnifique: Lamine et Olmo Le joueur celebrite Gbambappe a ete perdu dans ce match, en fait dans ce tournoi. |
AImiron:Na now they con mellow and once you hear any of them now saying... -Respect both goats; -You don't have to put down one for the other; -Enjoy both of them, etc ..just know that na Pendulum wey dey use coping mechanism since 18 December 2022. They never saw a comeback period like this coming. Obembela don run go hide patapata. |
Omo, this article don kill Penaldo with fluid poetry. E come be like na Peter Drury write am. So many punchlines. Presence be like absence? that one na ghosting for this side. Almiron on da beat as usual. Biko make Pendulums no go commit Seppuku with this your relentless offensive. At least you no dey pretend like Obembet wey go dey troll Messi mercilessly and still say shehe dey respect am. |
obonujoker:Lol No joy for that traitor bro. |
Jodera:France the great leveler! Na to level themselves comot Euros remain ![]() |
Leyqute:Even that his Real Madrid chapter, I'm afraid the optics don't look as promising as before. Maybe he'll pick up sha. But Dembele recently having better games than Mbappe is a sign of anomaly. |
Mbappe ghosting this tournament is not talked about enough. Messi or Ronaldo were never afforded this luxury. Even Henry with 2 fine open play goals and better play in Euro 2004 was excessively criticized, despite having won both WC and Euros previously. Mbappe is living on WC tax credit. |
Jodera:Kolo Muani missed almost the exact same WC final chance vs Portugal yesterday. So, Pendulums should stop blaming him as the scores are now even.
|
Both their Idolo and the turtle ninja baby that he bathed ghosted that match and have been complete ghosts throughout this tournament. Meanwhile, baby wey the GOAT bathe dey shine and break tournament records anyhow. Choose person wey go bathe your baby well o.
|
oliverano:Idolo chopping premium grass. Anyways, dry bones fit rise again. |
mostob: . But MATS really fell off sha. |
That comment below the pics off me. Our G.K just dey catch strays up and down. Andrewbaba44, Oliverano food don land ![]()
