Spanish football expert Guillem Balague charts how Croatia and Real Madrid's Luka Modric defied the odds to become one of the game's very best.
Welcome to the club.
i think ive been a member for longer than i was willing to admit to myself
how cute.
For me, its not just the football but the experience around it - at least on the tv. I really miss the grainy pictures/ sound quality from back in the 80’s which just helped reinforce the image that the matches where being played somewhere very far.
And Michah Richards wasn’t on it.
its fun watching the completely natural and organic mad bantz between the lads…they have so much fun!!!..
oh we all do like a laugh…

This is actually a problem that can be solved by technology. (Not traveling back in the 80’s, sorry)

He’s published that same piece every 2 years since the 2018 world cup semis
Labour's massive election victory has produced a unique map across the 92 football league clubs in England and Wales
That’s a quite extraordinary stat, especially when one considers that modern football is basically unfettered “free market” capitalism in action.
As a member of the English PGMOL i can confirm that line is perfectly straight and that it was a good process
Somewhat interesting interview with one of the people who first did meaningful work on statistical modeling of football

First half of the interview is more focused on the basics for an American non-football fan demo, but it gets into more interesting territory in the second half. The main point though is she got the idea to pick through the data because she was a Blackpool fan ( ) and was frustrated at Charlie Adam shooting from distance so often and wanted to demonstrate why it was such a bad approach
Depends on your budget.
Just turned on Madrid vs Milan friendly. Commentator say “Martinez in the face looks like a 16 year old boy but then you look down and he’s all man”.
