Correctly predicted Portugal to win Euro 2016
The seriousness of a foul is directly proportional to the loudness of the ref's whistle.
This is spot on, even when they made top 4 they couldn’t beat Villarreal to actually reach the Chanpions League.Everton have never been a good or bad PL team since its started, they've always been bang average
Scott McTominey todayEvery player about to be subbed on will adjust his balls on the sidelines while waiting.
Yep, as a former ref, I can confirm that's what you are trained to do.The seriousness of a foul is directly proportional to the loudness of the ref's whistle.
Do you have the notion that the majority of the posters here do know what sport they are talking about? Football.That's just not true. You think that's the case because of stats that say that for every 30 long shots only 1 goes in, but the thing is that out of the other 29, plenty will lead to corners, freekicks, chances, etc.. in this sport you can't measure what's efficient or not even close to accurately. Stats are a load of nonsense more often than not.
Possession isn't that valuable in football that makes losing the ball to a goal kick a problem, it might be inefficient if you're Barcelona and value possession that highly as a strategy but for most teams it's not a problem.
If it's effective or not depends entirely on the team's strategy and the circumstances of the play.
Reminds me a little of collymore in his autobio saying that he "always" scored against us, when im not sure he scored more than one in his forest daysWhenever Everton are on TV, they always pan over to Duncan Ferguson and wax about how great he was for them, even though I don't remember him scoring that much and his reputation was kinda based on his thuggishness.
Also it's a cert that if we're playing them, they'll mention he scored against us in one or two games? And that's somehow impressive enough to be mentioned constantly?
Haha, that's a great one actuallyPochettino is Ander Herrera’s da
He didn't score a lot for Everton, most were with his head. He is the best header of the ball that I have ever seen. He also scored a few peaches including the first of his brace against us in 1996 (16&17 in video).Whenever Everton are on TV, they always pan over to Duncan Ferguson and wax about how great he was for them, even though I don't remember him scoring that much and his reputation was kinda based on his thuggishness.

It was the fringe, reduced drag when he ran but limited his visionLionel Messi’s accelaration and speed decreased but passing range and vision improved as soon as he got a normal haircut.
Is it because Sky turned Digital in 2001, so the resolution of videos from then are much higher.I’ve noticed this before but it even applies to football in general. Everything looks old as shit in 1999 but really modern by 2001, 2 and 3.
I'm not even sure it's that, although it probably helps. It just seemed like everything became more cutting edge and modern looking, from the design of the kits to the logos around the ground on the advertising boards. Everything looked very 90s, and became very 2000s seemingly overnight.Is it because Sky turned Digital in 2001, so the resolution of videos from then are much higher.
I'm amazed when I watch back clips from the 90's, you can barely make out the players! Clearly back then we didn't know better and thought it was crystal clear.
Would say Suarez is the perfect example of this, all the weird and "stupid" shots he took for Ajax and Liverpool, don't understand how half of them went in.Long range shooting is only inefficient and predictable with good or average players. But we had a legend called Sir Bobby Charlton. Portugal ignored his skills and he won the Semi. West Germany was so scared of his long range shooting they put Beckenbauer on him. His record at United was only beaten by Rooney. It’s actualy about ability and mind set. Modern players are programmed to pass even when the chance to shoot is in front of them. The great players like Ronnie rise above it and let loose from all distances.
The squad from the 2011/2012 season was a very weird one.Since 2008/2009 we never had a fixed first 11, or a known best 11.
I always hear the crowd make a noise and panic trying to figure out if that noise is good or bad for us depending on whether we're home/away and the crowd seems happy or sadWhenever a replay is shown of a close United goalscoring chance, it always cuts straight back to the other team attacking, crowd behind them on the verge of scoring themselves.
THISKane misses six weeks of the season at around the same time every year.
So weird but I agree !! if a footballer has nice football boots he is usually technically giftedPlayers play better and have a better technique with black or red football boots and worse when they wear white boots.
