A response to draft media from Tyranno Criminal - Triceracop - 2025-03-09
I've heard the chatter.
People thing I'm too raw of a prospect. That my raw speed and power can only carry me so far in the academy league. They keep muttering about how hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
Fools.
They're all utter, complete fools.
I'm constantly training. Analyzing the data. Seeing what I can do to make myself better. Sure, I'm naturally gifted, but what do you expect? I'm a literal dinosaur playing a game meant for children. I am going to be faster and stronger than everyone else no matter what, because at the end of the day, I am different from them.
The rest of the Stockholm group is working tirelessly to perfect the ultimate synergy based attack. When I get the ball I'm able to move at high octane speeds to press the attack. I'm also keen on moving the ball around to our powerful striker or into the grasp of other defenders.
I'm a distraction, isn't it obvious?
I'm the high speed high energy dinosaur with a motor that won't quit. And then, at the last moment, I pass the ball away and set up another powerful attack at the goal.
That's what they've never understood.
The goal is winning.
Stockholm, is in fact, King.

This is actually a great philosophical question; how would it look if a dinosaur were to actually play soccer (or futbol as you all say) with humans?
I guess we would have to look at what kind of dinosaur we are talking about here. But let's suppose you are true to your name and are a Tyranno (saurus Rex). I have seen the historical films, such as Jurassic Park, and that will be my frame of reference for how a t-rex would act. Yes, you are bigger and faster (can catch up to speeding cars) and stronger, but I don't know if you'd be delicate enough to kick a soccer ball without deflating it. Even a small t-rex would presumably smash the ball rather than pass it up pitch.
Which brings me to my next point. A tyrannosaurus rex would be the ultimate goalkeeper. Seriously, just stick that thing in the net and let it's tail whack the ball away. It's body would take up most of the net, so it just needs to move its tail fast enough to get in front of the ball. Sure, a few goals here and there might go in, but just think about the xG Allowed!
