For anyone who doesn't know, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was an absurdly good striker for most of his career, and one of the top 5 strikers of the last 15 years (in my opinion). He has some of the most phenomenal goals I've ever seen, was extremely athletic even by top pro standards, has a very complete skill set for a traditional 9, and would completely obliterate Sam Kerr.
I'm just some guy and I'd also completely obliterate Sam Kerr.
Hahaha... sorry to say, but probably not, homie.
For the onslaught of downvoters who know jackshit about this sport, if you genuinely believe the world's best female player would get beaten at soccer/football by any random guy, you're a complete fucking retard. This woman would completely shit all over every single one of you.
Keep downvoting, you're still complete retards who'd get embarrassed by this chick.
Yeah, I would. Men and women are so different athletically that we might as well be a different species.
If you played soccer at some competitive level, like a travel team, then yes. If it's just intramurals, then no.
No, you wouldn't. She's arguably the best female player in the world. Her technique, change of pace, dribbling, and feints would utterly annihilate you. As just some guy (your words), I'd be surprised if you get 1 goal past her.
I'm not sure if you watch the sport, but I watch and have played for almost two decades. I'm pretty good technique-wise and I'm very athletic. She would probably beat me in a 1v1 match. Elite male players would make her look like a joke, but a random guy would look like a fool against her.
Those U15 teams that beat the US women's team, they're full of phenomenal young male players with boatloads of potential who've trained for a decade. You are not them, I'm afraid. Those kids would make a fool of you too.
What she trained her entire life for I can achieve in 2 months of training, and I haven't touched a football in 14 years, and haven't played a sport in 10.
Luckily I have never been overweight since I stopped sports, or let my self go.
That's not true. You guys have no idea what you're talking about and it shows. You would simultaneously have to develop stamina, learn positioning and tactics and anticipation, learn techniques for shooting and passing (there are many different types), improve your first touch from Bambi levels to something decent, learn how to use your hips properly to run and turn with the ball, gain the experience to not get baited into overcommitting to tackles or feint runs, learn actual basic moves (body feint, v-cut, cruyff turn, etc.), learn to not watch the ball and your feet while you dribble, gain shooting accuracy and power, among many other things. That's not achievable in two months. You genuinely have no idea what you're talking about. First touch alone is something that takes years. Can you even keep up/juggle a ball more than three or four times in a row right now?
As someone who's played against dozens of varsity university and college women, they're very good. The world's best woman is a whole other thing entirely.
She's never going to read this and she's not gonna fuck you.
I played football and multiple other ball sports my entire childhood. I think you are severely overestimating the woman's skill.
Women are beaten on the regular by U15's and I am more physically mature and in control of my body than I was at that age.
Whatever you're on it must be strong
I am 100% sure of that. As for the rest, I'll take your word for it.
Picking a semi-endurance event at random, the 10k run:
In 2020, the slowest woman in the 10k run at the Olympics ran it in 33:10.
Running a 10k in 33:33 puts you in the top 1% of men.
Maybe you could get up tomorrow and run a 10k in 33:00, and be the equivalent of an Olympic-level female middle-distance runner. But in that case, you're not "just some guy", you're also faster than 99 men out of 100.
The disparity between men and women is less for endurance events than for something like grip strength, and soccer involves a lot of continuous motion and endurance.
Soccer does not involve one of our two key advantages - grip strength.
It's still an absurd advantage, but less significant than other sports.
The US Women's Soccer Team practices against high school boys and regularly gets schooled.....
High schooled.
um, the US women's national team, when they won the women's world cup... utterly decimated by teenage boys. https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/a-dallas-fc-under-15-boys-squad-beat-the-u-s-womens-national-team-in-a-scrimmage/
the Australian women's soccer team, back when they won... utterly decimated by teenage boys. https://sportsmanor.com/soccer-news-australian-womens-soccer-team-thrashed-7-0/
it's not even fucking close. these aren't even one-offs. this shit is rampant.
when it comes to athleticism, 90% of men are better than 99% of women. and the top 1% of women are still pretty damn terrible. it's biology. before powerlifting orgs started allowing men to compete as women, the top 1000 women in history benched only 230lbs. if you're a guy and you bench 230, you're such a little bitch that people laugh at you when you get it certified. you're not even in the 100k, and 99% of guys won't even bother to get it certified because it's that pathetic.
Maybe that's just soccer...
Well, ok, but it can't be literally every physical activity, right?
NOOOOO WOMEN VERY BAD!
Literally equal or better in every stat? Or am I not reading the stats right?
I assume the female stats are in comparison to the female players.
Still dumb and I'll never buy another FIFA game. I picked up the last one before they introduced female teams.
Edit: It seems I was wrong. They have integrated leagues so the stats are universal lmao
Wtf lol
You're reading correctly. As someone who's watched both, Zlatan is far, far better in every single one of those aspects. He's one of the best strikers of the 21st century.
And that should go without saying. Considering these are all professional players, there's a very high likelihood (near 100%) that every male player is better than every female player.
I would say it's just 100%. The data points are slim because it's so rare to book these kind of mismatches, but a female pro has never beaten a male pro in any sport ever.
The closest thing to that is a female softball player striking out male baseball players... with a softball. So that doesn't apply because it's not even the same sport.
That's highly likely, I just wanted to leave a little wiggle room, just in case. You could technically have two outliers, one in each direction. But it's extremely unlikely, and is indeed probably 100%.
The guy is more likely to have a heart attack after all. Its perfectly normal and not at all a recent phenomenon to have young physically fit males just have heart attacks midmatch.
I don't know about pro sports, but I have seen a couple of cheating tranny dudes lose at women's sports, mostly low college level, if I had to guess.
Not just that, but massively, by an extreme margin, better at several of those stats, which makes it even more dubious, lol…
If they measured the women's players on the same scale as the men, they wouldn't crack double digits.
>Anything you can do, I can do BETTER!
Yes I can!!
(Look! My stats are higher!)
Laughs in San Kerr calf injury which the media will not fucking shut up about…
>Stop trying to make girls soccer happen. It’s not going to happen.
I can phone doordash quicker than you!
Siri call Uber and order a MeatLovers™ too!
You get an intersectional +30 bonus for being a gay, femboy, chubchub. Bigot.
Can we do a durability test by smashing them together? (In a non sexual way leftists)
She has extra padding, so it might not be very fair.
Throw a piece of silly putty against a rock
Unless she's been talking shit, why say something like this? It's not her fault the devs are morons.
I mean, have you heard her interviews on relevant topics..?
I'm a Matildas supporter, and even I think she's an egotistical, narcissistic, overrated, selfish, frankly, bitch...
She's not undeserving of the criticism for "talking herself up overly" among many, many other things...
I hope she sees this bro
I hope she sees Bambi's response.
I meant in ingame physics as I doubt they've done anything but change the stat number, I'm betting his game model still looks jacked as they're not going to make her an amazon to compensate.
lol, lmao even.
I was thinking along the lines of Censorthisss with the ratings being relative. Good thing no players play with the women's teams. Tree falls in a forest etc.
Well, that's her ratting in the Woman's league.
Sammy Kerr?
It's like ridiculous Madden ratings on steroids.
I wonder, how many of the people who push this shit are true believers and how many know it's just demoralization of western men? It's EA so I assume it's more the latter then the former
Hey, you can't let reality get in the way of gaming! Maybe she's actually 900 years old in-game, and super mature and skilled, and only looks like that!
Sickening, blatant dishonesty is everywhere and at every level here in the west.
Behind every instance of it is at least one real person who has actively decided to lie, or else is too incompetent to perceive the truth.
Civilization cannot endure this forever. It probably cannot even endure it for much longer.
Yeah but it's a ranking within their respective leagues right? You can't play them against each other, can you?
nope, global ratings.
Yeah but she has a penis too.
