What was wrong with that? That he made a pretty well known literary reference? What a geek!

"good in the air" means "heads ball straight to the opposition in the penalty area" right?

If he's getting blamed for that goal, I don't think he should be. They had 3 players marking one attacker and no one at the edge of the area. A Chelsea player should have been somewhere near Sigurdsson. Probably Mikel.

Leicester City is the Ukip of the football world. A small club with a meagre budget punching way above its weight while playing attractive football that people want to watch. For months the "expects" have been predicting that Leicester's bubble will burst, they were wrong.
How good it is to see the fine people of Leicester enjoying their city's success, I hope on June 24 they will be celebrating another victory of the small upstart defeating the arrogant establishment.

Wrong thread.

Nice problems you have in the US. Over here the average ticket sales for the highest league match is around 10.

That really is beautiful.

Plus if you scroll down, the next article is called How Messi Compares with LeBron. I think he concludes that LeBron is better because he Won The Play-Offs or something.

Cantona's too high. 6 seasons in the Prem and he only scored more than 15 goals once. 6-9-18-12-14-11. Agüero has scored 23-12-17-26-24 for example. Even Lukaku has 3 seasons of 15 goals or more.

I wasn't born yet in the 90s, of course, so I don't know - maybe he wasn't a striker?

Good point about breaking into the US market being very important though. Considering their population is 5x of the UK and 7x of Spain. And very wealthy.

football analyst people are the loving worst because they think a lack of existing analysis means that they can say whatever they want/make up their own stats. some dude was trying to convince me that crossing was an inherently bad thing to do and that teams should never do it under any circumstance

What did he suggest to do with the ball on the wings then?

Wow, player in the center of the pitch gets more action. Shocking relevation from the advanced stats crew.

Not always. You can check the fella's twitter for all kinds of examples. Not really sure what's 'bad' about what he's doing.

Bill Simmons made rambling long articles filled with tenuous comparisons and pop culture references trendy ten years ago, so every sports blogger in the US tries to do it now.

I think that stuff is more in the same vain as freedarko - attempted sophistication. Bill Simmons's writing was very sincere and explicitly done as an everyman. This is everything but.
