Is it only me loving the videos of the Tartan Army taking over Boston?

2026 will be the first FIFA-organized tournament with 5 knockout rounds since 1924.

🇺🇾 Uruguay's 1924 champions still hold the record for the best goal difference in FIFA tournament history:

• 20 goals scored
• 2 goals conceded
• +18 goal difference

2-3 matchdays left in La Liga… and the table is deceptively calm 👀

Top 6 locked. 20th basically confirmed.

But Sevilla (13th)? The model has them drifting down, not staying put - with Villarreal (3rd), Real Madrid (2nd) & Celta (6th) left 😬

FC Barcelona’s structure stayed stable (2004–2021).

What changed? Who controlled it.

• Xavi as the hub
• Messi as focal point
• Later, shared responsibility

Same system - different controllers.

Passing networks offer a different lens on FC Barcelona.

Not just where they play - but who controls it.

Nodes = roles
Links = passes
→ reveals how Barça’s possession flows

There's one thing I enjoy more than data and more than sports… and that is learning.

Just finished SMART MONEY, about @BrentfordFC and their analytics transformation.

Big takeaway: it's not data that wins, it's alignment, culture, and how decisions are made.

Really good read.

Championship play-off race for 6th 👇

@Wrexham_AFC, @HullCity, @dcfcofficial: 1 point apart.

10k simulations show no separation:

Wrexham spikes ~50% then drops
Hull steady but not dominant
Derby constantly in/out of contention

No clear favourite. Final day decides everything.

Championship automatic promotion race going into the final day 👇

@IpswichTown, @MillwallFC, @Boro - 2 points apart.

Model (10k sims): Ipswich surged from ~45% → 80%+, Middlesbrough dropped out, Millwall volatile but never sustained control.

Final fixtures decide it all.

After yesterday's results (@HullCity falling to @CAFCofficial, @Wrexham_AFC losing to @Coventry_City, and @dcfcofficial winning against @QPR_FC), the race for 6th place and the playoffs is as tight and competitive as ever.

Who do you think will seal it: Wrexham, Hull or Derby?👀
