Mars People

I’m currently playing soccer, basketball and hockey. I find soccer players super aggressive... coming from a competitive basketball background it’s kinda funny cos we just have a different skill set and mentality. We don’t want blood just glory.

For instance ball is very psychological (good ballers don’t stress) and good defence is closeup and in your face with no emotion. A good offensive baller will drive that bitch with heavy D in the key and not blink. When applying the same tactics to soccer I’m met with so much opposition 🤣 the girls get so offended and will elbow, tackle aggressively and everything else which is an immediate penalty.. good for me but I’m targeted and the aggression gives me pause.

Also ballers are great goalies I’ve discovered. I can lob that ball midfield and save my team all the hassle of taking it up which also pisses off soccer players. I had the opposition goalie trying to do the same thing and her accuracy was off and she didn’t have the throw power.

My verdict: soccer players are turbo Mars people and the skills don’t transfer to Ball at all. Maybe the fitness and agility but that’s it. Ball on the other hand is less emotional but fires every gross/fine motor function in the body. It’s more technical. Ball definitely transfers to soccer well but beware cos soccer players are legit psycho and they will cut a bitch.. which is fine cos ballers are not phased. I’m a serial killer on the court, field and goals. I don’t stress which I attribute to years of playing ball.

What sport if any do you play and how does it transfer to other areas of your life or other sports you play.

Ps hockey needs another topic cos wtf were they thinking giving sticks and hard balls to angry people. Great sport though.

I only good at football and that shit transferred to me running from the cops type shit

What’s your take on rugby players?!

What’s your take on rugby players?!

I find the people very docile off the field which is confusing AF.

Great game to watch and play. Blood sport for sure and it requires full body power so I would say it’s Mars energy 100 percent.

You play?

I'm more into Baseball

Baseball transfers really well with ball. It’s also one of the only sports where size doesn’t hinder your play. The bigger the better.

Rugby takes a whole team of different kinds of people to succeed. You need good respectful sportsmen and you need people who love to 'cheat' and break the rules at the right time and who know how and when they can get away with it. Most sports are probably like this but I only really watch Rugby.

This is true... it gets so redundant when people play clean. I love watching All Blacks cos the skills are just manic.

You just can't play clean because every part of the game where big crux moments are to be had, there is also so many potential penalty's. You can wheel a scrum around and win it, but you risk getting penalized. You have to hold onto the ball if you get isolated in a tackle, but you're risking getting penalized. You can try and steal the ball in the tackle, but if you don't do it perfectly, again, penalty. Sucks but it's the game now. High tackles happen all the time because if you don't go high the ball carrier can get his arm free and off load. It never ends lol.

Then say you're under the pump on your own line, just go and do something illegal because you A, might get away with it or B, you'll only conced 3 points or have a chance to steal a line out.

So many games are won with penalties on the line though but it’s definitely a worthwhile risk if you’re in front.

Rugby league is more dynamic than rugby but is lacking in the excitement that scrums and line outs offer.

I'm not a mars person but back in the day I used to love to play basketball and football. Basketball was primarily my thing. I was extremely aggressive on the football field. My position was always defensive tackle and it fit my aggressiveness. Still, no mars. Mercurial here.

I never understood the point of team sports. I know that things become a lot more fun if you do it with people, chasing a ball sounds incredibly stupid but put two or more people and it take a whole new dimension. That said I don't do it. I find football particularly stupid since you only use legs, so you're running like an armless cripple all the time.

Lol chasing after a ball does sound incredibly stupid if you think about it the right way 🤣 when you could be chasing after women

Maybe golf is your thing since you're not a team player? I know it's mine now since I'm at that stage and age to get into something old dusty folks are more into. I've done did all my young years tackling people in my heyday so I can relax now.

I only played two sports growing up: football and basketball.

I was definitely more aggressive playing football and a lot more strategic playing basketball.

Best Soccer players have been Fixed signs, Pele, Maradona. Cardinals are great too but usually have one or two good attributes.

If you look at greatest in all popular sports they're usually fixed signs.

Soccer is about reading the game. Which is why when you look at great players like Messi, they end up being one trick ponies, but if you want a well rounded player, look to the fixed ones.

Disciplined and cerebral would be why. I don’t understand the Messi hype either.

I’m getting more aggressive in soccer as the season progresses.

His persistence shines but there's other Cardinals who I would consider even greater. Ronaldinho and Zidane come to mind. Many also forget that Messi was brought up by Barcelona and had the best opportunities and greatest teammates. He was spoiled and nurtured.

Then compare to Ronaldo, who came from lower clubs and imo is not even the ideal body type for an offensive player of any kind (more like a defender) but has exceptional determination. More admirable imo.

Just a note on the Ronaldo comming from "lower clubs".

Sporting's youth academy was at that time one of the best in the world, producing 2 Baloon D'or, Ronaldo and Figo.

The most lucrative (aka #1) Youth football Academy in the world today, and ahead of Real Madrid that is 2nd with a very good margin, is Benfica (my club).

Just because we Portuguese clubs don't have money injected from the Arabias and Usa, it doesn't mean we are small...

Infact, for our total country population, what we manage to accomplish is astonishing, in the most played and watched sports in the world.

I know what you were trying to say, don't get me wrong mate lol..but it triggered me a bit so I had to say it hehe

Lol. I was waiting for a Portuguese person to say that 😂

You got me. But he didn't shine right away mainly due to his style . It was in Manchester where he outran the fastest and one of the most physical leagues.

Also comparing Messi's initial teammates being the best of that decade and him relying on them is the biggest difference.

Also related to what you said, add that Ronaldo is from Portugal and Messi Argentina. It's like Messi was made to shine while Ronaldo was meant to work his way through.

Side note: Definitely think the world cup was rigged in Argentinas favor.

haha yeah 😂

You know, football here really is in another dimension, even the best fifa/fc players are portuguese 😂 football is in fact the #1 pillar on our society (as sad as it may be lol). So we take this things to heart hehe

And I understand that for "International" people, Ronaldo only bloomed in United, but for us it was very obvious how far he was going to reach. On the first time I saw him play, I literally said "This guy is going to be the best in the world", and he was. And sporting is a major rival for Benfica, so there is a very long road to cross in order for me to say that hehe

And true, Messi was on the best team that ever existed, and being an Argentine is having the work already cut in half (same as Brazilians), but still, credit to where credit is due.

Even if I am a Portuguese, I still have to admit that Messi is just a tad notch above Ronaldo..and the fact that he also won the World Cup it's like...You can't beat that...That's what defines who goes down in history...

Unless Portugal manages to take the World Cup in 2026, with Ronaldo in the squad, and with all the insane records he managed to pull out...Messi will go down as the best ever...no matter how hard Ronaldo works.

It is what it is 🙂

Also pertaining to your topic. Messi was never really challenged physically since he was shorter and everyone was scared to hurt him. The few times he was challenged he became neutralized. Soccer is very physical, defenders are meant to use their body to block, similar to basketball except with more contact allowed.

In contrast, Ronaldo ran a straight line like a mad bull and crashed into the opposition or outran them.

Basically Messi capitalized on weakness and open space, while Ronaldo capitalized on his athletic abilities.

Just my opinion but my experience is most if not all Fixed signs grow up with real abandonment issues. Whether it be rejection in teams at young ages or generally not making their mark early on.

Ja Morant and Jordan perfect examples of being rejected in middle school and not so much as making lower divisions then blasting on the scene in senior high.

Cardinals get given everything and lauded at very young ages only to squander and ride coat tails. Your example is very on point regarding Messi.

Cardinals are usually more aggressive early on which puts them in favour with coaches but I find cardinals with fixed rising signs exceptional athletes overall.
