Inter must have been really bad. I saw Busquets dribbling and using scissors to try beat his man.

Based on the standings they are mid table but to area the bottom 9/14 for eastern conference

That team wouldn't beat Olot. Tells you all you need to know about the quality of the league over there.

quick highlights

So if Frenkie doesn't leave, how long are we going to passively force him out by playing clearly inferior players like Torre in midfield ahead of him?

He even did them slow ass stepoevers. He really is a bully against farmers

yeah sorry. scissors = stepovers. In dutch they are called scissors.

I see. Weirdly, in morocco (and Arab countries) a scissor is the over head bicycle kick. Because the legs move like a scissor in that position.

Not really lol. In spanish it is a chilena and not tijera. Well...in English it ain't a scissor kick either it's bicycle. In Turkish it is literally translated bicycle kick as well.

Aren't those two different techniques though? Over head kick = bicycle kick, lateral kick = scissor kick? Or vice-versa?

Yes, but total was specifically talking about overhead bicycle kick and says its called scissors in arab country. You implied that is the case in most countries except NL. It is possible he messed up and means the scissor kick indeed.

Raphinha terrible so far

This aged well.

 

[gregorrin10]

Kinda crazy how Higuain is from the same generation of strikers such as Lewan, Benz, Suarez, Aguero, Cavani etc. but fell off hard in comparison to the others.

Well those Miami fast food joints might've had something to do with that, although I remember him getting pretty chunky even before he left for Miami.

 

[gregorrin10]

MLS a lot further behind in terms of quality than I had expected. Are they a good side over there?

Not really. Well in the bottom half of the league.
