Schmeichel's Cartwheel
Correctly predicted Italy to win Euro 2020
Ronaldo will have these bums on chicken breast, salad & tap water. Siuuuu.
They aren’t, how many times a player rotates in a basketball game, I played both football and basketball when I was in school and football was more physical than basketball.Why do you think so? Basketball players seem to be far more athletic than footballers, despite being twice as large.
'Almost pointless' and Ronaldo still being one of the fittest and best players in the world at 36, where most top players have long dropped off, doesn't seem to match up.Found someone who has no clue how athletes work. Ronaldo takes it to the extreme, in reality what he does is almost pointless. Look at GOATs in other sports. MJ literally smoked regularly. LeBron drinks wine (too much according to some). Even Tom Brady enjoys food (but has a weird diet). Eating a cheeseburger a few times a month isn't affecting their careers.
Judging by what Lee Grant is saying there, that's definitely not the case. That they're all left to their own devices usually eating shite the night before the weekend game is mental. No wonder our team became so unfit for a while.Obviously, an occasional cheat meal is not a problem. Neither you nor I know if this was the case here.
I don't believe United became unfit because they had too many brownies the night before a match. That's called fatigue and that is much more real than top PL sides having a poor diet and not performing week in, week out.Judging by what Lee Grant is saying there, that's definitely not the case. That they're all left to their own devices usually eating shite the night before the weekend game is mental. No wonder our team became so unfit for a while.
Yet another case where top level football isn't the fine tuned peak performance in every aspect thing it's made out to be by many.
What should he considered though is whether those meals were pub style meals or professionally cooked meals with athletes in mind. Ie using lean ingredients, less sugar etc than what we are probably exposed to in everyday life. I would say that was probably the case. There’s enough videos on YouTube for American sports program which go through kitchens and explain the diets and how they try to make healthy food appetising for the athletes.I really couldn’t give a shit about American “athletes”, whether they’re goats or sheep. I can tell you for a fact that sports scientists unanimously agree that diet and nutrition can be optimised for peak performance. And the meals in the OP are far from fecking optimal.
Obviously, an occasional cheat meal is not a problem. Neither you nor I know if this was the case here.
Different athletes. You need to remember that Phelps was drawing on in excess of 7-10k in calories a day for his training.Ronaldo also likes to look good with his shirt off, a lot of his diet is for a beach body. So he has to suffer through his meals. Micheal phelps use to eat a carb loaded diet filled with pizza, pasta, and burgers. Money Mayweather diet was Burger King, BBQ and Mountain Dew. These guys burn crazy amounts of calories, eating junk food isn't going to bother them if they put in the work.
Neither do I. That they're left to their own devices to choose what they eat, included any amount of shite they fancy before a game, is another indicator as to why it happend though. It had nothing to do with fatigue. They were clearly physically unfit in comparison to most of the league because they weren't handheld like they are in every other aspect of their lives. They certainly do not know how to perform to the best of their ability if left to their own devices. The minority that do are night and day. It's obvious who those ones are every time.I don't believe United became unfit because they had too many brownies the night before a match. That's called fatigue and that is much more real than top PL sides having a poor diet and not performing week in, week out.
Still irks me...the science behind a good steak is the juiciness.You bunch of food snobs. Let 'em eat their plain cheeseburgers and well done steaks in peace. Maybe that's the style of cooking that Greenwood is used to.
Not everyone wants a barely cooked steak. I eat mine medium but would much prefer to have a well done steak than a rare one.
Yes I agree I’ve played both aswell Football takes a lot more but running indoors is exhausting in a different way aswell, to make a fair comparison futsal is more taxing than basketball.They aren’t, how many times a player rotates in a basketball game, I played both football and basketball when I was in school and football was more physical than basketball.
A cheeseburger can be very healthy if made with the right ingredients.What should he considered though is whether those meals were pub style meals or professionally cooked meals with athletes in mind.

it’s not hard to make a healthy cheeseburger, it just tastes like arse compared to a McDonald’s or Burger King to some. Less processed shit and more natural ingredients with actual nutritional value.
I tried this with my wife. Didn't work mateA cheeseburger can be very healthy if made with the right ingredients.
I think you should just admit you know feck all about NBA and stop making shit up.The rest and recuperation in between those games makes the difference, same as the rest during the games. Basketball players are indeed excellent athletes, but when it comes to fitness footballers are on another level. It's just the nature of the sport.
Well, I’d argue it’s fairly similar, over the course of a season without cup games NBA players would player 500 (essentially) minutes more.I think you should just admit you know feck all about NBA and stop making shit up.
NBA teams play more in 2 weeks than footballers play in a month, but sure they've loads of time to recover compared to footballers
Top level successful football clubs do seem to take this shit seriously. Google “Pep Guardiola” and “diet” and there’s a tonne of stuff about how he overhauled the diet of City players. Likewise with Jurgen Klopp.Judging by what Lee Grant is saying there, that's definitely not the case. That they're all left to their own devices usually eating shite the night before the weekend game is mental. No wonder our team became so unfit for a while.
Yet another case where top level football isn't the fine tuned peak performance in every aspect thing it's made out to be by many.
Nutrition and a healthy diet is especially important to Guardiola, given the amount of work that he asks his players to do on the training ground. Guardiola is carefully monitoring players’ diets, with high-calorie fruit juices, pizza and processed foods all off limits.
Defender Gael Clichy revealed that anyone who fails to meet Guardiola’s requirements cannot work with the first-team squad until they are the right weight.
It’s particularly galling to read about stuff like this with such an obvious example of a player who improved his diet after leaving United - and now looks much sharper, leaner and fitter - currently leading the line at Chelsea.Liverpool‘s head of nutrition Mona Nemmer has revealed how Jurgen Klopp created a new role at the club for her, and detailed her job in consulting with every player.
Nemmer joined the Reds from Bayern Munich in 2016, alongside head of fitness and conditioning Andreas Kornmayer, as Klopp overhauled his backroom staff at Melwood.
Because in general basketball players are a foot taller and 20-30kgs heavier than footballers. They might look agile in isolation, but on a level playing field they're not. You can't get around that weight penalty. Of course you can find outliers. Curry is a bit of an shortarse in the NBA, and agility is not a word anybody has ever aimed at Lukaku.Are footballers more agile, really? Check some videos of Stephen Curry. Then realize that he is the same height as Lukaku. Or check Durant who is half a foot taller than Ibrahimovic. I do not see in any way how footballers are more agile than elite basketball players.
That really should have ended the discussion about which athletes are fitter.Westbrook will play for 5 or 10 minutes then sit down for a bit. Basketball players cover 5km on a good day, in a game that lasts 2 to 3 hours all told. If your average PL footballer doesn't double that distance in the 90 minutes they'll probably find themselves staying at home the following week. Some will do 13km or more in a single game.
Genuine question. Does the fact that basketball players in general use both arms as well as legs contribute to greater overall fitness than footballers?Because in general basketball players are a foot taller and 20-30kgs heavier than footballers.

Anyway, I see the NBA fans are crawling out of the woodwork to defend their beloved sport now.
It depends what you're measuring. My original point was about pure fitness and athleticism. Basketball players are stronger and more powerful because of the nature of the game, but they have to sacrifice some fitness and agility for that.Genuine question. Does the fact that basketball players in general use both arms as well as legs contribute to greater overall fitness than footballers?
Look man, the words you’re looking for are aerobic fitness. If you repeatedly just use the word “fitness” it’s going to be debated because it’s too vague. Fitness is not measured by who can run further.It depends what you're measuring. My original point was about pure fitness and athleticism. Basketball players are stronger and more powerful because of the nature of the game, but they have to sacrifice some fitness and agility for that.
Long distance, shuttle runs, any kind of running test you could think of. A footballer will be better because that's what the sport demands. I mean its not even fecking close. You cover over twice the distance in almost half the time.
They also play 100 games per season and are mostly doing sprinting and jumping. In total number of minutes, I think they average more than elite footballers.That really should have ended the discussion about which athletes are fitter.
I feel the same in most threads now. I just left a thread where someone said we should replace Pogba with Kalvin Phillips and we won’t miss him at allI every single time I enter this thread I’m left wondering if people are wumming or not.
Give your head a wobble. Diet Coke tastes nothing like the original! If you want to be on a diet, don’t drink Coke.Or maybe you know that the burger contains at least 1000 kcal so you don’t want to take another pointless 300 kcal woth the coke if the diet version tastes almost the same.
That's like saying Olympic long distance runners are fitter than the sprinters just because they cover more distance.That really should have ended the discussion about which athletes are fitter.
Correct. Which is why long distance runners are incredibly careful about their diet and Usain Bolt used to have a big feed of chicken nuggets on race day.That's like saying Olympic long distance runners are fitter than the sprinters just because they cover more distance.
Of course, anything heavier than that and that's him injured again. That air in that crisp packet is more than enough for him.
Of course they are.That's like saying Olympic long distance runners are fitter than the sprinters just because they cover more distance.
I normally order water but sometimes I want something different. Why does it bother people if I don’t want to take extra 300kcal after that 1000kcal burger?Give your head a wobble. Diet Coke tastes nothing like the original! If you want to be on a diet, don’t drink Coke.
You shouldn’t have even bothered entering it in the first placeI feel the same in most threads now. I just left a thread where someone said we should replace Pogba with Kalvin Phillips and we won’t miss him at all
The Lukaku one is a weird, it's not like he was pilling in the McDonalds and unfit, he did all that on purpose in some misguided attempt to be some sort of Mourinho ultra UNIT forward, it didn't work and these things take time to undo, by that stage he'd fallen out of favour.It’s particularly galling to read about stuff like this with such an obvious example of a player who improved his diet after leaving United - and now looks much sharper, leaner and fitter - currently leading the line at Chelsea.
There's no 'science' when it comes to a good steak, do you know why? It's all subjective. You'd swear Greenwood ordered his steak for you the way you're going on. Relax.Still irks me...the science behind a good steak is the juiciness.
Well done steak, you suck the juices dry out of the steak, criminal. Imagine they use Black Angus? Wagyu? That piece of steak deserves some justice.
EDIT:
If I'm the chef, I'll ask my sous chef to take that frozen buffalo meat out from India. That is for Greenwood.
Basketball players are tall and comparatively to football players, heavy. The average weight in the NBA today is 217 lbs with an average height of 6ft 6inches. That is a bunch of tal and heavy boys. A NBA match consists of 4x 12 minutes, the 12 minutes include a LOT of stoppage and slow pace of play with the occasional burst of energy. Some of them are very heavy, and very strong. Shaq is one of the all time greats. If he had to play a game in the Premier League he would be done putting any effort in after 15 minutes of fast paced playing. Because he doesnt train for that sport.Why do you think so? Basketball players seem to be far more athletic than footballers, despite being twice as large.
Processed food is still food with natural ingredients. Processed food simply means that it contains a variation of added sugar, fat and sodium (salt). A processed hamburger is not unhealthy in itself, nor less nutritious than a "natural" hamburger.What should he considered though is whether those meals were pub style meals or professionally cooked meals with athletes in mind. Ie using lean ingredients, less sugar etc than what we are probably exposed to in everyday life. I would say that was probably the case. There’s enough videos on YouTube for American sports program which go through kitchens and explain the diets and how they try to make healthy food appetising for the athletes.

Lutefisk it is!When millions of pounds are at stake, there needs to be very strict diet imposed by the manager himself. Can't argue with that.
I blame the caf. We tell everybody to bulk up, somebody finally did it and look how it turned out.The Lukaku one is a weird, it's not like he was pilling in the McDonalds and unfit, he did all that on purpose in some misguided attempt to be some sort of Mourinho ultra UNIT forward, it didn't work and these things take time to undo, by that stage he'd fallen out of favour.
Which you continue to reduce to one definition whilst dismissing the rest of what fitness pertains to. That invalidates a large portion of your argument, because fitness and fitness tests are not just cardio.It depends what you're measuring. My original point was about pure fitness and athleticism. Basketball players are stronger and more powerful because of the nature of the game, but they have to sacrifice some fitness and agility for that.
Long distance, shuttle runs, any kind of running test you could think of. A footballer will be better because that's what the sport demands. I mean its not even fecking close. You cover over twice the distance in almost half the time.
