Today we have powerful AND technical players (cause I don't think anyone thinks Messi is not technical). Today players are more professional, behaving more like athletes. However, when everyone is powerful, that's not really an advantage for any player.

Now, sheer beauty, that's subjective. That's a view. I liked Zizou a lot as well. I preferred his style. Simple and elegant. But that shouldn't interfere with my judgement for someone as an overall player. Numbers don't lie. That's an objective metric. And Messi/Ronaldo break record after record.

Regarding distribution, there is always a couple of teams slightly better than others. Real, Barca, Bayern, Juve, United with Fergie, etc.. but none talked about Robben or Nedved, Bale or Aguero being the best player ever. There is a reason (a well justified by numbers one) that those 2 are considered the best..

Now the rest is just speculation. I don't accept that we have less talents in football nowadays. The other way actually. The academies have been more active than ever. More talents are given a chance. And the internet has made scouting easier than ever. We re in the golden era of idea propagation.

Let's not let nostalgia blind us. Football is shoved up our asses as a product and a lot of people are full of it, rejecting it and idealising the past. But if you look at it objectively and isolate yourself from the ads, dabs and LV wallets, you can see that we re living in the best football era ever (coverage and talent wise).

Aloha..
It's not nostalgia Bro. I understand where you are coming from. Players might be better athletes and more professional, but they aren't as talented, and the talent distribution is nowhere near equal. In the past, you had teams like Marseille and Steaua Bucharest winning the CL. That scenario is unthinkable at present. I respect your opinion, but I strongly disagree.

That's probably why women, who are weaker and less muscular than men, are more likely to tear and ACL.



Okay.
Offcourse not, silly boy.


Women have a wider pelvis cause they are supposed to give birth. This causes many things.

- Much less strenght in the posterior chain due to the inability to grow mass on the lumbar region and spinal erectors
- Tigh bones are angled downward sharply,putting more pressure on the tendons naturally and giving them less stretch when making a Q angle.

As a result, females have a much higher chance to rupture the ACL.




Broken Tibia isnt about failure of tissue silly boy. Bones dont suddenly fail. You need a certain amount of Newton force to break it.

Man, a competition being more open and antagonistic might also mean that the level of the game is lower. Usually that's the case when a team comes out of nowhere, wins it and then disappears again.

Last year's Premier league was one of the most interesting ones. But the level was lower than other years.

Less strength in the posterior chain, which is less muscle.

And yes, I agree, bones break suddenly. That's why ped's can't prevent that from happening.

Less tendons ;)

Posterior chain :

Hamstrings, connected to gluteus maximus, connected to thoracolumbar fascia, connected to god (spinal erectors), connected to latissimus dorsi/teres majores/trapezius


females on steroids, like Anna Khudayarov (dont google plz), have bigger hamstrings then me, bigger glutes, smaller spinal erectors, lager lats/teres and even traps

She deadlifts 230. I deadlift 330 (pre-hernia)

Difference ? THoracolumbar fascia. Because of the shape of the pelvis, the connection is much less optimal and women transfer strenght much worse.
This is also the reason men can build much stronger spinal erectors



The tendons make the major difference .And thats excellent. If your T-F wouldnt be made from tendons but muscle, everyone would tear his back at some part in their lives.




This is also why building a massive conventional deadlift doesnt happen over night. Tendons grow and improve slowly, and only on a consistant lifting plan that tries to kill you all the time

Dybala will extend his contract with Juve. Paulo's agents wants to include a release clause of €150m but Juve has rejected it. [Mediaset]

Considering using one of your new creations as avatar, but I'm attached to Generalissimo still, and this player logo pics might be hard to see in avatar size.
