Believe me it's India loss if Shreyas Iyer doesn't captain India 🤡🤣

Well...the full quote is "A farce for the entertainment of the masses...presented in all its ugly glory by the man whose hand holds the scale."

But tomato, tomahto tbh.

Not enough people on these apps talking about THAT Aleksandr Pavlovic performance from yesterday. Has to be a no-brainer starter for Germany in the 2026 World Cup #UCLSemis

Sooryavanshi may have stolen the show, and deservingly so, but don’t forget how good Jurel, Brijesh, and Bishnoi were tonight, this RR side is such a well-oiled unit in all departments. Delight to watch 🙌🏻. #IPL2026

Saw some people trolling conspiracy theorists, who believe space missions were a sham, for believing in God. You don’t fix one bad argument by dragging in another. Even I believe these Conspiracy theories are completely baseless, but belief in God isn’t the reason why. Do better

@Bri_an2 Just mad Barcelona players weren't invited to the advert

@maxsbulls Genuinely ret@rded and one of the least civic and aware breeds of sport fanbases

Mitchell Santner's batting has improved so much, he was always a handy batter, but now he's able to finish clinically as well. As an MI fan, Santner and Jacks have to be the foreign all rounders to complete the all round trio with Hardik. #ICCT20WorldCup

I personally believe the only thing keeping Sesko from being a world-class striker is consistency. You can already see the technique and IQ in his gameplay. Now the question is can he deliver it week-in, week-out?

[That Sports Guy @benchboosters]

I feel, at times, Babar and Gill are very similar in terms of foot movement, however, Gill's flow seems better because he has a longer stride, which allows him to rely on hand eye coordination even against a wider line, so his limited foot movement isn't a liability unlike Babar

My classmate was raped on her way back home from university and got pregnant, but couldn’t get an abortion due to the laws. She had to drop out of university where she was studying medicine. Because of pregnancy and childbirth expenses, she couldn’t continue her studies, left college, started working at a coffee shop, lost the fun of her early twenties, and lost the chance to attend international medical conferences she once dreamt of… all just to give birth to a child she never wanted.
People say, “What if the baby you abort grows up and cures cancer?”
Okay — but what if the 19-year-old you deny an abortion to grows up and cures cancer?
Now she can’t afford to get an education. Instead, she has to take care of a baby. What about her? An actual living human being???
“Abortion ends potential life”… So do property disputes, war, and genocide. You only seem to care about lives when women don’t give birth to them.

Newcastle may be 10th in the PL table but they sit in the top 4 on expected points and have the best xGA tally. Mind you they played 3 out of their 4 games without their striker signings. This is not a straightforward clash, Barca can expect. Not at St. James's Park especially.

While this graph paints certain players like Joao Pedro, Reece James, Cucurella in a bad light it doesn't tell the full story. It's just a way to measure creativity in relation to how much of the ball the players saw.

[That Sports Guy @benchboosters]

After yesterday's #UCL clash of #BayernChelsea , I was intrigued as to which player used the ball more and how impactful they were with it, as both teams saw a lot of the ball, so here's a graph depicting it (The data points are scaled to the no. of prog. actions per player):

[That Sports Guy @benchboosters]

Players like Garnacho and Pavlovic were progressive but not necessarily creative. Most of the remaining players below the line were defenders and substitutes who neither saw much of the ball nor did they progress or create much.
