Just read that NYTimes article on the football academies in Qatar and found a v surprising bit:

quote:

The article included a quote from the FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, who called the program a kind of “exploitation.” He later visited Qatar and, according to a news release issued by Aspire, changed his mind and lent his support to the program.

I think most of that actually sounds quite reasonable.

Ankersen is able to say this because the model Midtjylland use ranks all the clubs in Europe as if they are in one big league. Greuther Fürth didn’t play against the Premier League, but they did play HSV of Hamburg, who in turn played Bayern Munich, who, in the Champions’ League, played Manchester City, who played the rest of the Premier League. Thanks to European club tournaments, the model can cross-reference results from different leagues and use advanced statistical tools to rank every club on the continent.

can't wait for those nerds to go to an away game in central america

quote:

As the story goes, a crew of 3-4 individuals caused panic and widespread fear amongst some of the fans within section 237. As described by several people, each asking to remain anonymous, a series of empty seats in the Third Rail section of 237 (near 238) were taken up at halftime by a group of Hispanic males decked out in bomber jackets with distinctive gang-affiliated patches adorning the outerwear. One member of this group was described as a person who “looked like he just got out of jail, with visible prison tats — and even had what looked like poorly treated knife scars across his head.”

But appearances weren’t the problem. Not by a long shot.

The group caused a raucous with their choice chants, which included racial epithets, neo-nazi propaganda and general hate speech.

These regrettable incidents happen all the time in any series of sporting events or entertainment gatherings throughout the world, and clearly do not reflect the position of the common NYCFC fan. In fact, as one fan described it, the section was actually unified in silence, fearing “someone might knife us” if they were to speak against the rowdy trio. To illustrate the level of fear, not a single video has emerged of the group anywhere online, which, as one fan explained, demonstrates the level of wariness surrounding them.

quote:

Part of making the club better has meant learning from some of these critiques. Already, Third Rail has begun a deeper focus on the creation and distribution of songs and chants through their newsletters and social media vehicles. The once-eschewed capos have also returned to the conversation after two vastly underwhelming and non-unified showings in the club’s first two home matches.

I think there's already too much of a focus on what the referee/linesman/VAR does and micing them up would just exacerbate it to point that postmatch discussion would be even more an exercise in hyper-analysis of their decisions rather than the players or managers.

i think it might be nice to do sparingly, just so people see what it's like being a ref, but not as a common thing because of exactly that issue

Ruud was the epitome of "great scorer of goals, not scorer of great goals," as opposed someone like Le Tissier.

Are there any pure poachers left nowadays like he or Pippo Inzaghi were (Chicarito doesn't count since he's retired in MLS)? I think strikers/forwards typically are expected to do a lot more than score in The Modern Game™.

all players are expected to do more than their role demanded in the past tbh

like what role now isn't expected to contribute more to the overall tactic/system compared to 10 or 20 years ago?
