How often you hear about the useless "big chances missed stat". it should at least be % of the total chances to have any value. it is just an indicator of how often certain strikers get big chances due to a combination of their movement and team quality. But the media and some fans use it as an...

Gary Medel(170cm) has played CB for inter and many more times for his national team.

Rivaldo, Laurent Blanc, and Bent Skammelsrud got the same amount of points at the 1997 Ballon d'Or.
