I think my point is more that the changes being pushed through today should not be expected to bear fruit for several generations. This is frustrating, but the reality is that we are so far behind in development that we have to be re-ordering the system to be more competitive 30-40 years from now. So yes, we try to…

I am just glad to see that WWI German infantry tactics are still relevant 100 years later. Defense-in-depth. Flex without breaking. Soccer as trench warfare. Sit through a 12-day-long artillery barrage, and then see if you can nick a late winner. #MakeAmericaGermanAgain

I hope this thread turns into a quad-measuring contest.

Building on this point. I am no big Ronaldo fan, but he’s the most explosive athlete in all of sports. From standing still, his first five steps are quicker AND more controlled than anyone in any sport. I think this explosiveness does translate to his aerial ability. Dunking a basketball with hands over one or two…
