I love soccer but have yet to invest the time to understand the game 100%. Why on earth does Juventus let CR7 just run free? Someone help me out here. Yeah, dude is GOAT maybe, but the second goal he got ... no one was even keeping pace with him. He just straight up ran forward and kicked it in. Why did the nearest defender watch the ball and not GOAT?

A large part of Ronaldos genius is being at the perfect place at the perfect time.  Add his amazing finishing talent and you got one of the best ever.

But, what would happen if a team stuck someone on him. Like the way teams spy Cam or we used to spy Vick. Would it hurt a defense that much to put one man on him the entire time? I mean, the dude close to him had his back turned. He had no idea what CR7 was even doing. That seems crazy to me. Same with his first goal. He passed, ran up, NO ONE even challenged his spot and he got the pass back.

You can't play man to man in soccer with the way the ball is played around the pitch. What makes Ronaldo great asides from his physical abilities is his ability to be in the right place at the right time and anticipate where there is going to be space so his teammates can find him.

EPL... who? La Liga has the king of kings. Say what you want about Madrid and CR7 but this is why I cite La Liga's superiority over the EPL. Physicality is only half the game. Technique is the other.

Just think... we got Asensio, Vallejo, Isco, T. Hernandez, Kovacic, etc. We are virtually set for the future too with a lot of youth on our side. We could easily get another title or two in the next three years.

So Barca and RM being the 2 best teams of the past decade is your reasoning for the whole of La Liga being better than the whole of the EPL?

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By CamWhoaaCam · Posted

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
