Saudi Arabia were able to eke out a draw against Uruguay, which makes Spain and Cape Verde delighted. Game state also dictated Uruguay's dominance that the numbers show, but the 0.44 xG difference is just not enough of a gap to call the draw lucky/unlucky. Source: FIFA

Frenkie de Jong is one of the best tempo-setting midfielders in the world. His line-breaking passing, carrying, ball circulating, and tempo shifting qualities are essential for The Netherlands' attacking game. Source: FIFA

🇧🇷's drop-off from an ELO Rating persepctive has been significant for a while now. The World Cup has just started, so they have an opportunity to reverse this trendline, but the game vs Morocco wasn't a dominant performance. I'm yearning for Futebol Arte.. Source: Eloclub

🇰🇷 was impressive in-possession, difference seen in the long-ball rate. It centralised its gameplan on solutions on the ball in open-play. 🇺🇸 high-press and the mid-press rates were twice as high, this forced 🇵🇾 into a mid-block or a low-block. Source: FIFA

I love the angle taken by @kenearlys on the Champions League final. He’s absolutely right to dedicate so much time to how Arsenal waste time 🗑️ The drinking water and human life lines 🤣

Some loose parallels here with football / others sports generally in evolution of style and player types. Over time the game does basically become more advanced, but it’s more paper/scissors/rock in adjusting to whatever challenge is at hand than a straight progression upwards.
Steven Adams describing the connection between the stretch-5 era and the resurgence of offensive rebounding… “The people they were drafting, they’re not used to what I call trenchwork… all the stuff that’s not sexy - they’re really not good at it at all. A lot of the techniques I use wouldn’t work on dudes back in the day. But now I’m versing people that don’t know any of that stuff”

El 11 de julio de 2015, el RM anuncia el traspaso de Casillas al Oporto. Un día después, los padres del portero conceden la entrevista más surrealista que se recuerda, nombrando Florentino en más de 20 ocasiones y culpándolo de todos los males. Explicación ⬇️Hilo⬇️
