  1. Barca trying to terminate the contracts of Umtiti and Pjanic

    Who's to determine that? Anyway Barca are free to reject his demands if they think he isn't worth that much.
  2. Christian Eriksen

    Evander Sno would actually be more similar to Eriksen as he had to be reanimated (which actually took a while) on the pitch as well. He did manage to continue his career as a pro so I guess it's possible but I'd assume each case is somewhat unique.
  3. Two american tourists jailed for 21 years in Italy after killing an undercover policeman

    My issue with that is that he/they didn't just end up in a shady situation at random. I mean they stole from a drug dealer who scammed them and actually decided to set up an exchange with that guy AND one of the boys decided to bring a combat knife to that meeting. They obviously knew the whole...
  4. Gaming Nintendo Switch

    I'd say Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Easily my favourite game on the Switch.
  5. The Greatest Footballer of All Time

    Domestically we had been a successful club before Cruyff though most of that was from the early years and the club didn't win anything for 5 or 6 years before his first title. Still not comparable to Bayern or Napoli of course. The international success with Ajax would have been more 'shocking'...
  6. SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

    I don't really think the viewpoint of Merkel herself has changed a lot or even that she tried to do things as late as possible. I think she'd rather lock down as soon as possible; she's been in opposition to the relaxation of restrictions for pretty much the whole duration of the pandemic and...
  7. The vaccines | vaxxed boosted unvaxxed? New poll

    Why though? The issue is a lack of supply right now but once that's sorted I don't see an issue. 13k a day shouldn't be a problem even for a small country like Ireland.
  8. Gaming Nintendo Switch

    Absolutely. Played 2 first, then 1. Xenoblade 1 felt far more grindy right from the start (just thinking about all these pointless side quests..) and it was annoying in no time while it never felt like an issue in 2 where it's mostly enough to do the few side quests you'll get and fight the...
  9. Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch

    But Liverpool played far more passes overall so the fact that Fulham still played slightly more long passes actually does actually confirm their game was mostly based on playing long passes. 25% of the passes from Fulham were long passes while it's 8% for Liverpool. On average only 11% of Fulham...
  10. SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

    Still seems like a weird burn to me. If it's 14 days from the day you last came into contact with someone who tested positive all that means is that 5 days ago she met someone who was later tested positive.. but no one knows if that person tested positive 5 days ago, yesterday or just 10 minutes...
  11. 2020 US Elections | Biden certified as President | Dems control Congress

    Apparently it's based on polls from 538 (for the election in 2016 not the current one). https://medium.com/@ste.kinneyfields/do-you-know-this-graphic-i-made-it-heres-why-f97bcf88408c#.7f996n9xu
  12. German Football 20/21

    29/57 is not really 58.9% but more like 50.9% btw (still a lot but not exactly close to 60%).
  13. Has political correctness actually gone mad?

    This didn't happen btw. The current national anthem is just the third verse of the song.
  14. SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

    I think you focus too much on a vaccine. Didn't the English government approve a treatment that reduces the mortality rate significantly for NHS use just last week? I think the chances of us never finding a vaccine are rather slim anyway but even if countries have to go for herd immunity by...
  15. Players who instantly lifted a team upon arrival

    Think Tadic to Ajax even though it probably won't last for too long. He certainly hit the ground running scoring almost 40 goals and assisting another 20 or so in his first season.
