This is so true

bit unfair on dembele, he was really good last season

>haaland scores a goal and ghosts the rest of the game
That's his job. Strikers get paid to put the ball into the net. Not to press, not to lie deep and help the playmakers, not to "create spaces".
Saying the truth is now a hate crime.

>>149843325
Strikers like that don't have a place in the modern game. You have to press and help with build up otherwise the other teams will easily neutralize the striker and they go invisible (see Haaland in big games) and it'll basically be playing with 10 men

>>149843286 (OP)
go back to brazil joao

>>149843385
Fuck the modern game and fuck xG desk jockeys. Strikers are supposed to score goals and the rest is woke nonsense.

>>149843385
>Strikers like that don't have a place in the modern game.
the traditional number 9 is clearly coming back though. they didnt have a place in the modern game of yesterday maybe, but things are changing.

Strikers who score goals and ghost the rest of the game but don't miss chances are based. Strikers that are only there to score and miss like 3 chances until they score one i'm not a fan

>>149843286 (OP)
no because smellingham used to score precisely at the last minute of the game

>>149843402
This.
>>149843433
And this.

>zoomzooms who never saw Pippo Inzaghi play

>>149843402
Nothing is stopping you from playing the game a more traditional way, but don't expect Brazil to win any more world cups that way. The game has evolved.

>>149843286 (OP)
the statfags aren't going to like this thread

>>149843622
>don't expect Brazil to win any more world cups
I don't. Our strikers don't score but keep getting called up for being tactically helpful.

>>149843286 (OP)
how was mbappe not included in this?

>>149843385
You do know the point of the game is to score right?

>>149843286 (OP)
Scoring one more goal than the other team is literally the only thing that matters in the sport so that seems fair.

When Messi played for Barcelona and was actually good he scored a ridiculous amount of goals.

>>149843552
Inzaghi had charisma and SOVL, Haaland could never compare

>>149843286 (OP)
true, i blame cucktiano for this

>>149843286 (OP)
Where is le PED chicano midget?

soccer is cope for non-American countries to feel like it's ok to rarely score or experience joy, and not scoring at all is just a normal occurrence

>>149847388
is this a fucking bot or do jewmuttichildrapists just go into a trance and spam this shit?

>>149847410
>is this a bot
you could call him that
it's just some schizoid chicano spamming the same posts everyday, just ignore him

>>149847410
>>149847564
A creature more organic than a bot, yet somehow less human.

>>149847388
I don't know if trying to explain this to you is worth it since you might be a bot, but a scoring chance in football is more exciting than 20 le points in basketball or 2 goals in hockey. It's all relative.

Does Haaland have inflated stats because De Bruyne and Foden, etc. set him up with great passes? I am new to footy and don't understand that much. Seems like players like Dembele who score self reliant goals with dribbling skills are more valuable compared to someone like Haaland who is more reliant on assists no?

>>149843286 (OP)
They are boring but at least they score, what I hate are faggots like Vinicius who get 1000 chances per game, miss very badly until the defense lowers the guard and they get a lucky tapin, and then they get all the credit otherwise everyone is racist ou algo

>>149847636
He wouldn't get it, their "sports" are for entertainment only

>>149843286 (OP)
lol they don't get all the credit, in fact they get berated with seethe from assblasted retards who think football is an individual sport and just because you're the star player you need to do everything
what's wrong with someone like haaland whose sole job is to grug the bell into the net
>b-b-but he's not le involved in le build up
why should he be, it's not his job
>b-but he makes the team worse
in that case it'd be the coach's fault for not setting the team up around him properly
>b-but he's not le fun to watch
grow a pair
and yes i did just have an imaginary argument with myself but you get the point, fuck every single one of youse

Players who score a pen, rigg a bit, piss a bit, and then ghost the rest of the game: Cuckitini.

>>149843325
tap in merchant propaganda

>>149843325
Nothing wrong with being just a poacher, but there's always going to be backlash whenever people start comparing him to players that could do it all. Haaland was universally loved until Ronaldo fanboys started aggressively pushing him to win the ballon d'Or a few years ago just so Messi wouldn't win another one.
