@JoshAHobbs No red for Messi though...

@BeGriffis Lol finally, my country Malta at the top of a football list.

[Michael Pulis @m_pulis]

@BeGriffis Cool site!

[Michael Pulis @m_pulis]

@JoshAHobbs If the worst player they ever saw on TV played with them once in a five a side, they would be comparing that player to Messi within minutes.

Proud to announce that I have joined @statsports as a Data Scientist! I am really excited to continue working on my passions of Football and Machine Learning.

[Michael Pulis @m_pulis]

@JoshAHobbs I was actually in the stadium watching! He shot it straight at the wall lol.

@adnaaan433 Newcastle, City, Tottenham ?

[Michael Pulis @m_pulis]

@Gradient_Sports How do you define a positional mistake ?

[Michael Pulis @m_pulis]

@Syndicate I was a few kilometres away but my entire room shook. It was quite scary, and for a moment I thought the island was under attack. Then I switched back to realised it was a fireworks factory that blew up. This happens every 5 or so years I would say.

@HKhaliqueLoonat I find this really hard to believe. Why would they do that ?

[Michael Pulis @m_pulis]

@nonewthing Possession is defined by the number of passes (by most providers), so the first sentence is actually tautologous.

@Jon_Mackenzie hard to notice anything with those kits

[Michael Pulis @m_pulis]

What? This is almost unprecedented

[CAF Media @CAF_Media]

The CAF Appeal Board decided that in application of Article 84 of the Regulations of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the Senegal National Team is declared to have forfeited the Final Match of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Morocco 2025 (“the Match”), with the result of the Match being recorded as 3–0 in favour of the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF).

@JoelAdejola If you don't mind a technical question. Why are all the charts pre-rendered images presumably pre-rendered and cached server-side vs interactive charts rendered on the browser with something like chart.js? It robs you of the ability to interact with the vis via hover/click.

[David de Gea @D_DeGea]

No one who hasn't been a goalkeeper can understand how difficult it is to play in this position.

Keep your head up and you will go again.

[Michael Pulis @m_pulis]

@JoelAdejola And that would be addressed by a shot map, right?

I think it's cool, don't get me wrong. I'd love to see it for 2-3 seasons or more of data.

@umirf1 I would tell you @driblab, but also I work there ;)

[Michael Pulis @m_pulis]

@JoshAHobbs @Millar_Colin The last world cup had sensors in the ball to know exactly when it was touched. I'd argue that having these close cases called offside is worth it, considering it eliminates genuine egregious offside calls.
