There are more La Liga players born in January and February combined compared to the last four months of the year. In 2022 at least.
I understand why, but I still wouldn't expect it to be this significant.

Romario only spent two seasons total at Barcelona.
Mark Bosnich has a higher percentage of Clean Sheets than Curtois, Lehman, and Barthez
Putting your hands up before taking a corner gives you no advantage whatsoever
They'd take both. Succeed at neither.
Liverpool have scored more second half goals in the league than we have in total all season
It can be a timing tell that only one team knows. If for example you agree on 2 seconds after raised hands in one game, and 5 in others, or to use both in a game. There has to be a little advantage in that.
U can fake start your run at the ideal time if you know exactly when the ball is coming, or just time the run better with no faking.

There is a whole book dealing with issue. Its a insane stat found in every professional sport. It doesnt need be January, if the cut off month for a group age is June , then July and August are over represented.
In Spain it is January and February. Because they're all put in classes and age groups for sports depending on the year born. So the earlier your born, you may have a slight advantage because you might be the best from an early age. There are plenty of studies about this in Spain and I know a few couples who are purposely trying to have babies early in the year.
Yeah but the other team can see with there eyes when the ball is kicked so this is moot?
I think you forget how short the run-up for a corner kick is.
Everyone can see when the ball is kicked, but it is much easier to time your run with a timing tell. Plus the tell can be confusing for the opposition as well when you use different gaps
in the same game.
Because the run-up for a corner kick is so short, many of the players should ideally start their movement before the actual run-up.

Mason Mount has been booked 4 times this season!
Brazilian Ronaldo only scored 14 champions league goals in his career, someone like Raphinha already has 12 alone this season.
Sergio Ramos scored 17
Leeds United have never won the FA Cup at Wembley. The year they won the replay or should I say infamous replay in 1970 was at OT
England canceled an away game against Germany in 1994 because the match date was Hitler's birthday.
We've lost more games since Sir Alex left, than we did during the entire time he was at the club. 
He signed Wesley Sneijder every single summer.
Laurent Blanc is older than Cantona and got signed more than 4 years after Cantona retired.
The first England striker to score on Buffon was Jamie Carragher.
Liverpool will finish in the top 8 for the 62nd year in a row.
Gary Neville's points per game record with Valencia was 1.32.
Ruben Amorim's points per game record with United is 1.1.
Ian Wright made his Arsenal debut a year younger than Cantona was when he retired.
Ruben Amorim's points per game record with United is 1.1.
Ian Wright made his Arsenal debut a year younger than Cantona was when he retired.
Not true, that's Amorim's Premier League record comapared to Neville's all competition record and giving him some imaginary points in cup compeitions.
In La Liga Neville won 3, drew 5, lost 8 for 0.88 points per game.
If we translated Amorim's record into all competitons he'd be on 1.41 which isn't exactly great either, but better than Neville in both league only and all compeitions.

Good investigating sir, I stand corrected
Ange Postecoglu has now managed 70 premier league games. 25% of the points he has won as manager came in the first 10 matches (26 of the 103)
Source, Numbers?We've lost more games since Sir Alex left, than we did during the entire time he was at the club.
He lost 114. You have now lost 115 since he left. Oh wait I think that’s just the pl only.
According to grok :
Fergie 1986-2013
Premier league games 810
Premier league losses 114 (14.1%)
Post fergie
Premier league games 450
Premier league losses 115 (25.6%)
Lost 101 in the PL since the 2013/14 season. (11 seasons) based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Manchester_United_F.C._seasons excluding current season
Ferguson lost 113 in the PL era (21 seasons?) based on https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ale...in_id=985&liga=&wettbewerb_id=GB1&trainer_id=
So avr Fergie losses is 5.4 per season, and 9.2 since (excl. this one)
Alan Shearer never scored or assisted in his 8 games against Birmingham
So far, we're still the only unbeaten team in European comps this season.
Had Liverpool lost every league game since beating Spurs on 22 December, they’d still be one point ahead of Manchester United and Everton.
Technically - no. If you'd lost every game since then, our 2-2 draw on Jan 5th would have been a win for us. Get your maths and stats right.

Oh dear. So two points behind United…but level with Everton. I still back us to get 13th.
If Liverpool won the league every other year between now and 2050 and we won none then they would have 1 more Premier League title than us.
Imagine getting defensive when you post something in a facts thread and being pointed your fact is incorrect...
Plus the "fact" they created was only served as a means of shitting on United.
Defensive? I’m being playful. It was a bit of fun. I acknowledged the mistake didn’t I?
