Haaland has that raw explosiveness that just bullies defenses open, it’s like watching a predator in the box. Kane is more surgical though, he’ll punish you from angles you never even saw coming.
Norway's defensive structure is so underrated, they barely givve away clear chances even against top sides. If England can't break them down early it's going to be a rough night.
Honestly i think people overlook how much harder Ronaldo had to work to stay at that level. Messi was born with it but Ronaldo basically turned himself into a machine, that counts for something more to me tbh.
Honestly the lighter ball is a bigger deal than VAR for how the game actually feels, you can hit those diping shots from 30 yards now which was almost impossible with the old leather bricks back in the day
I was playing five a side last week and somehow skied a tap in from like two yards out so I can't even judge him for that miss honestly. The ball just popped up weird off his foot.
I used to only play tournaments but honestly the pace of cash games just suits me way better now. Being able to leave whenever you want instead of being stuck for hours if you run deep is a huge quality of life thing.
Mbape passing Messi feels like a stretch right now, I watched him waste three clear chances against Dortmund last week and it just reminded me how clod Messi was in the 2022 final. Olise though I can actually see it, he had that one game where every corner found the exact same head and it was ridiculous.
Tbh if you're stuck picking, just start with basic data analysis in Excel or Python. Those skills are useful no matter what path you end up taking later.
