The Spurs supporters just laughed at him 5 mins ago when he fell over when he tried to control the ball.
Shouldn't have done that.
*slaps hands* Poch is at the wheel!
10 more years! Chelsea is back baby!
OMG a football player that pushes and shoves other players. Never done that myself during a match when things got heated! That surely never happens!
We all act like gentlemen and say please and thank you.
Big difference: the others did it in better leagues.
Hard to compare this.

Germany losing is always a good time, even if its just a friendly.
It would make for a good story and joke, if Shakira and Sergio Ramos ended up dating.
This is what happens when 2 teams actually go forward instead of hanging around in a ''low block''
It's what's killing football these days. 1 side plays dominant football and the other side just parks the bus.
Ball rolling into the goal
Goal scorer's arm is on the floor sliding into goal
Contact with his arm would mean him actually stopping the ball from going into the goal
VAR checks for a possible hand ball
Makes no sense lmao
''But the stats show he's better than Ramsdale!!!''
I guess people watch stats instead of football matches
People stare themselves so blind on stats its unreal. While they also don't consider the context of those stats. People will just throw stats around like ''passing accuracy'' but won't take into account against which opponents it was and how those opponents played (like did they pressure the passer a lot or not?).
Player X gets room to pass the ball around. The opponents don't bother to pressure him much because they are worrying more about another player for example. Their managers gave them the task to stop that other player in this scenario.
Meanwhile player Y doesn't get that same wiggle room to pass the ball around. In his case the opposing players do get the assignment to pressure him more.
Player X had a passing accuracy of 90%! wow so good
Player Y had a passing accuracy of 85%! see player X HAS to be better
Meanwhile Player Y did amazingly well with tremendous pressure put on him. He kept turning and twisting his opponents and still finding his teammates perfectly 85% of all the passes he gave. Only made a couple slight errors while under pressure. While Player X had free room to pass around at his hearts desire while he made 1 big error while there was no pressure on him whatsoever.
Stat junkies will tell you Player X is the superior player. His stats show that! While people that actually watch the matches know that Player Y is the better player and can do much more when there's pressure put on him.

It's a broken record and a massive circlejerk, but I just can't help myself.
Messi is by far the greatest ever. Not just because of his record breaking amount of goals and assists. Also not just because of his overall longevity. Neither do all of his record amount of trophies matter.
It mostly comes down to what he's showcased on the pitch during his long prime.
Prime Messi:
A mix of the best ball control, passing, dribbling, vision, agility, feints, positioning, balance, his acceleration, pressing and tracking back were also great during his prime.
Even if he didn't score a goal or assist, there would still be a lot of greatness to witness on the pitch. He would still be my favorite player ever if he didn't have a lot of goals and assists and was mostly known for outdribbling entire defenses. There's literally nobody that's done it like prime Messi.
Here's also the most important aspect about prime Messi: he didn't just do these things every now and then. It happened constantly, consistently in every single match, multiple times in those matches. Most top players maybe have an incredible pass every other match, once per match. Or they would have an incredible dribble once in their careers. While Messi did it non-stop.
