Tchouaméni has the ultimate superpower: he’s so stupid that even when he’s playing like shit, his confidence never drops, because recognizing you’re playing like shit requires a level of self-awareness he simply does not possess.
@JayOnSC The greatest goal scorer in the history of the sport should be inducted immediately, regardless of his political affiliation. It’s a sporting decision.
GENIUS: Former #Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel retired from the NFL at just 26 years old to pursue mathematics full-time.
Now, years later, Urschel has reportedly helped RESOLVE A LONG-STANDING MATHEMATICAL CONJECTURE involving Gaussian elimination.
Urschel earned a 4.0 GPA, got bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mathematics from Penn State, and pursued his Ph.D. at MIT while playing in the NFL.
From blocking NFL defensive linemen to solving problems that have challenged mathematicians for years.
One of the smartest athletes EVER.
Football works in cycles, and the number of games won by teams with more possession has consistently fluctuated in the last 20 years.
But last season was the first time since 2005-06 that more Premier League games were won by the team with less than 50% of the ball.
I assume the negative reactions to this are rage bait, bc Cristiano Ronaldo is a top 10 footballer ever and should be treated like Michael Jordan.
He and Messi were so elite they broke the standard for measuring performance. It’ll take 25yrs of hindsight to contextualize them.
“I made a mistake by putting someone of the stature of Pelé or Maradona on to warm up and then not putting him in the game. If it were today I would not do it.”
Part of Manchester City’s strategy in the early days was to buy players from rivals to weaken them. They bought Clichy, Sagna, Kolo Toure, Nasri, and Adebayor, whilst Arsenal were paying off the stadium.
