remember that betting markets largely reflect where money is being put up, rather than an objective assessment of probability

england are always priced stupidly low for tournaments because there are still legions of dickheads who'll slam £50 on them to win at 4/1

lol when you read the text and it's literally "blegum will win because they are ranked the highest with FIFA, all of the other teams are ranked lower and are therefore worse"

the computer says that the teams with the best ELO score win more than the ones with bad ELO scores, that's some loving moneyball right there

we plugged a series of variables into the algorithm, and it turns out that there's a strong correlation between a team's likelihood of winning a game and the overall number of points they have at the end of the season, it was actually quite striking

we don't know quite what this means yet, but we're hoping one of the big six will take us on for consultancy work

A random question i've got mostly because Kante might manage it. Can anyone think of a player who has won a domestic league + cup, uefa cup/europa league and champions league and then the world cup + their continental cup?

Dida doesn't have the virgin UEFA Cup, but he does have the chad Copa Libertadores

tbh if Scotland had a striker who reached the level of 'championship journeyman' they'd be a significantly better team

you could send them Kahn, Cannavaro and Ferdinand on lend-lease and they'd still likely get pumped in the playoffs if there's gently caress all in front of them

A better manager would surely be able to get this England side to score goals because this is getting silly now.

all of the better managers are foreign, except for Graham Potter, who I think would be genuinely wasted on England and should wait for a big job

and I strongly get the feeling that the players are phoning it in because they've not had a break in two years and now they're supposed to play poo poo friendlies in June instead of loving off to Dubai to relax and do four bags each, and you can't teach that

Is Gibraltar-spain really that tense of a matchup?

iirc Spain only agreed to not block Gibraltar from being in UEFA if they got an agreement not to play them, since the Spanish government considers the territory True Spanish Clay or whatever (do not ask about Ceuta, which is also Spanish Clay)

the rest are legitimately unsafe but that one is just the inherent piss-baby nature of the platonic spaniard
