Brazil look like they've found their identity.
Ancelotti's 4-3-1-2 gives Viní freedom, Matheus Cunha connects as a false nine, Bruno Guimarães arrives late, and Danilo tucks inside.
Fluid in possession, solid without the ball & increasingly difficult to stop.

People laughed when I made that Roberto Alvarado appreciation post.
A few days later, he’s got another good performance and another assist.
His second assist in three World Cup games.
Not bad for a player some people were so quick to dismiss.
The way he linked up with teammates, how comfortable he looked on the ball, the patience to wait for the right moment instead of forcing something, and the awareness to pick out the correct pass.
That’s something I really value in players.
Football social media is funny sometimes. People are ready to write players off after one game or laugh at anyone who rates them.
That’s why I prefer trusting what I see.
And so far, Alvarado has more than justified the praise.
You laughed at me.
But who’s laughing now?
Thank you, Roberto Alvarado.
After almost 4 years of hard work, I'm very happy to share something which I hope will be a game-changer for election data in Malaysia:
https://t.co/hW0OIDm594
To cut a (very) long story short, the site gives you access to Malaysia's COMPLETE electoral history. Every election, every candidate, every party, every seat - all there at your fingertips.
There are 5 types of datasets available:
• Parlimen/DUN-level results (the 'official' results, covering every single election since 1955)
• Parlimen/DUN-level maps (covering every single boundary-drawing exercise since 1954)
• Anonymised individual-level voter rolls for GE-13, GE-14, and GE-15, as well as Johor 2022 and N9 2023 (more to come soon)
• Saluran (!!!!) level results for GE-13, GE-14, and GE-15, as well as Johor 2022 and N9 2023 (also more to come soon)
• DM-level maps for the latest set (versions going back to 2003 will follow eventually)
Enjoy!
Data-cleaning and curation is bitter work, but once it's done once, everyone can reap the benefits.
