Who will be leaving Man United apart from Falcao? by weedwhacker7 in soccer

Depends if you believe that story that came out about him being broke. I don't think it was ever confirmed one was or another.

God I love Busi. Far and away my favorite player at the club.

Fàbregas to Chelsea TV: "Barcelona was a team of individuals but now I am part of a family. The fans, team and owners are all together. On Thursday I said this could debatably be my best move ever. After today's atmosphere, I'm sure this is where I belong." by rivelina in soccer

[–]bmeckel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it took him a bit of time to settle into his role, but once he did he was as integral to the team as anyone. I think there's a lot of mutual respect between him and Barcelona.

Right? Who doesn't love a little old fashioned Ballmer crazy. The dude is electric.

Killer Netflix features? [ALL] by rapt0rzz in netflix

[–]bmeckel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie I think you'll have a very tough time getting people to shell out $10 bucks for a desktop netflix interface. I realize you're trying to make it more than that, and I'm sure it is, but you've got to realize that at first glance that's what people will see.

Well now that Deimorz is a member of the Admin team and is slowly integrating automod into the site itself, I wouldn't say it's not a function of reddit anymore.

Leo Messi: "The injuries weren't an excuse for us in 2013 and they won't be one for Bayern now. They have a great squad." by Bob_Swarleymann in soccer

Seriously he's been amazing for us. Dropped in form defensively since Pique picked back up but still been a godsend in terms of being able to reliably rotate our center backs.

Report: Google Wireless cellular announcement is imminent -- "customers will only have to pay for the data they actually use, rather than purchase a set amount of data every month" by mepper in technology

[–]bmeckel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They let people comment anonymously immediately after the announcement. The announcement was that there would be a transition to using real names in the near future, the date of which they kept pushing back but insisting it was a good thing and would still be happening, until they finally got the message and dropped the idea. It took way longer then it should have for them to realize what a bad idea it was.

Yeah but the board said they offered 2+1. It's tough to know who to believe in this situation.

We tried that. It seems he wants 3. After this season he probably deserves it, he's been incredible.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but the s6 isn't water resistant like the others have been in the past.

Need help to climb divisions! by Choplol in FIFA

[–]bmeckel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realized the second option is nearly impossible, I had tried making it for myself a while back and it gets screwed up because Lewa isn't German. I would say the first squad I said is actually really fun and worth trying, though you could substitute Rodriguez for Iniesta, then swap spots with Modric you'd have a more solid pairing of CMs.

That would look like this:http://www.futhead.com/15/squads/30489905/

I'm not partial to Kroos but he is the best way to make a Bundesliga hybrid, and the CAM has to be a RM Midfielder, so the other place you have a lot of flexibility is the right CM, which due to Kroos not being great in defense should be someone who can make up for Kroos' lacking, aka Modric.

One option: http://www.futhead.com/15/squads/30486839/

The other option would be a better formation, a 433(2), but it would require a lot of changes, mostly in the midfield, as you would need Xabi Alonso and Lahm or Schweinsteiger, then probably Lewa up front (I think.)

Especially considering that Pique is too slow to have a H/M work rate if he's not paired with a M/H defender.

Godin is probably a solid choice, Ramos being the obvious best choice if you could afford him. Also I would put Busi at CDM if it doesn't screw up the chem.

Tello named player of the month in the Portuguese League by Slapdash13 in Barca

[–]bmeckel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope we could convince him to stay. Really unlikely given the fact that he went on loan looking for minutes in the first place, but still, would love to see him back at the Nou Camp.
