1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

Sorry if you don't see the relation.
Just a week ago good folks argued that there was no such thing called "luck" in this game. Now that I dared to mention that Mats was unlucky with the goal, the agenda has changed and the "unsavable" phenomenon took the lead.
That's why the question at Messi's free-kick, as it is a good example of what results people either consider to be lucky or they do not. But we seem to be on a good path, because at least most here sort of admitted that Stegen's goal could have been saved with some luck... (and an open eye...)

Name one person who argued anything along those lines.

Sorry, I don't feel like playing the librarian here. Read back if you are interested, specially your own sentences that contain the "lucky" word.
But I think I had enough of this booby-hatch.
Goodbye!

I figured as much, but at no point did I argue that luck doesn't exist in football, you just made that up to continue painting yourself as the victim as you have since you revealed your true status as a "fan".

No one said there is no luck in the game. People said he was not lucky in that specific match.

Stop making up things to fit your agenda.

And yeah, the goal he conceded was unsavable by pure skill, contrary to Messi's FK.

errr was that a juvenile perso attack using la computadora's smiley?

Cool!

and nope, not calling you puta or anything hehe

edit: or were u sayin Xavi didn't need vid replays cuz he was perfect? Or that coaches and players could use Xavi's footage as learning material? If so, bang on right on both

Just suggesting that La Computadora is exactly that player likely to obsess hours over videos.

I hear u [MENTION=6450]BerkeleyBernie[/MENTION] Super impressive when sheer talent jives with brains, drive and perfectionism. Doesn't happen often but when it does, it's very cool!

For baseball fans, quick look at Ichiro and the special TLC he gives his bats.

Percentage of shots saved. 1st column is from round 1 to 12. 2nd is from round 13 to 25. Nice evolution for Olafinho.

 

[God Serena]

#1 in the league in shot save %, how lucky can this guy be? Wow.

 

[xXKonan]

Man Keylor, fell off a cliff.

His form this season despite the injuries has been nowhere near as good as it was the last couple of seasons.

Gives Madrid a reason for pursuing David de Gea or Courtois this summer.

 

[God Serena]

Adan has a higher % than Keylor
