People often say in soccer,
“The conditions are the same.”
The pitch is the same.
The ball is the same.
The match time is the same.
But are they really?
Imagine a team full of players who compete professionally in Europe or the U.S. facing a team of players who work full-time jobs and play soccer on the side.
Training environments.
Practice time.
Recovery.
The amount of time they can dedicate to the game.
Can we still say the conditions are the same?
On the pitch, everything may look equal. But the conditions that bring players to that pitch are not.
The starting point is never truly the same.
Still, soccer is a sport where a team can win even when the starting conditions are different.
That’s why when those gaps are too large, directing all the criticism at the players after a defeat often misses the bigger picture.
alan sugar asking a kid on children in need when was the last time arsenal won a trophy and the kid answered "well, the women's champions league" - incredible, 10/10
I remember when I was like 15-16 and the Taliban were these weird barbaric mountain people that shot Malala, blew up schoolkids, and publicly whipped women. And now they're here in Delhi shaking hands with the damn government LMAO.
