@epicsp0ranIari Did Ronaldo try to beef with Cafu??? The guy would put that poser in a hospital in 15 seconds.

2005’te Milan’ın efsane savunma hattı, genç Cristiano Ronaldo’ya daha öğrenecek çok şeyi olduğunu gösterdi.

@burackbobby_ Imagine Jordan playing in an era when a feather soft touch on the back is flagrant 1? He’d shoot 30 FTs / game.

It's remarkable how spotless Michael Jordan's résumé is. Someone like Wemby, who's billed as a future GOAT candidate, could already have a mark against him for losing a Finals series, something Jordan never did. No one is catching Jordan. Not ever.

@PoissonCapital What happened to Brazil after 2002? They’ve been terrible.

Lot of narrative about this being the worst Brazil side in a long while. That is a nostalgia view. It’s not an all timer team but it’s not that bad IMO. In 2014 they rolled this out in a WC semi…

@RumorsandRants Happens in soccer all the time.

One of the craziest sports statistics I've ever seen: The Spurs led for 72% of the NBA Finals. They lost in five games.

@funakistats Learn to lose gracefully. This “can’t be arsed to shake Brunson’s hand because I’m spoiled baby thing is a not a good look

Wemby’s full post-game interview… “What I’m pissed about is that there’s more than 100 games until we can be back in the Finals” “The margin of error is so small… We absolutely dominated for most of this series” “It surprised me that every game had the same scenario”…

@NBA_NewYork Absolute garbage behavior. Go back and watch Jordan congratulate the Pistons after they beat him 3rd year in a row. No excuses. Pure class. Wemby is a spoiled baby.

Draymond Green: “Wow they didn’t shake their hands… that’s not good"

@patrick_just @TomerAzarly Conditional probability can get really weird. If you want your mind blown, look up Newcombe’s paradox. If you’re an analytical person, it will haunt you for weeks.

@MorganSmith988 @TomerAzarly I don’t disagree you should recommend that espn take this into account in their minute by minute probability assessment. I’m taking their numbers at face value. I didn’t calculate the odds, only compounded them.

According to ESPN Analytics, in the 4 games the Spurs lost in the NBA Finals, they had a... — 91.6% chance of winning Game 1 up 13 points midway thru the 3rd — 72.8% chance of winning Game 2 up 2 points with 1 minute left in the 4th — 99.6% chance of winning Game 4 up 20 points with 9:33 left in the 4th — 95.4% chance of winning Game 5 up 10 points with 7:54 left in the 4th

@patrick_just @TomerAzarly Think this way: the probability that a random person can bench 500lbs is, say, 0.00001%. But the probability of someone benching 500lbs on 2 consecutive days is NOT that number squared. If a guy benched it on Day 1, there’s like 95% he’ll bench it on Day 2

@patrick_just @TomerAzarly The right math is conditional probability: after Game 1, the probability of another comeback should be updated based on what Game 1 revealed about the teams, matchup, coaching, Spurs’ execution in the crunch, Knicks’ execution, etc.

@nyknicks Among all people making $53M/year, KAT is the biggest bum.

Q4 starts now 🔒

@_CallMeDennis_ Lalas is a full kit wanker

Yall remember Daniel Sturridge's reactions during Alexi Lalas' analysis? 😭

@NFL_DovKleiman Holy shit. It’s the first not asinine thing he’s said this century

Oh Boy: President Donald Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport named football. "This is football, there is no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff." 😬😬😬

@ChinoUTD There’s a generational change in the Us: among people under 30 soccer is the 3rd most popular sport. If you’re not from here, you can’t appreciate how crazy it is that soccer is more popular than baseball (thank fucking god)

🚨 Klopp on the USA’s impressive World Cup opener: “This USA World Cup opener vs Paraguay is a masterclass in how a properly run country prepares for the biggest stage. Some love saying the United States don’t take football seriously. But the painful truth is this: even the level of seriousness and professionalism they bring to the game is still higher than what we see from some nations that claim football is their everything. Yes, they have many immigrants in the squad… but that’s not the main reason they’re a decent side. The real secret is the incredible platform, world-class training facilities, and development system they give these players. That’s the difference. Look at the result: they came out in the opening game and delivered a scoreline better than the previous three matches combined. Thatt can’t be luck. That’s preparation meeting opportunity. This is exactly why they are so proud to be hosting the World Cup. They are not just showing up to participate… they came to make a statement and put the world on notice.”

@NealGardner_ It’s all abt six seven.

Can my American followers please explain to me what this means in English?

@agalonso86 @StokeyyG2 Fair point. Really wish Henry or Ibra could lace up against Lalas for 15 minutes. The idiot would have PTSD for the rest of his life.

@MorganSmith988 @StokeyyG2 And 17 is very generous from your part

‘If this man [Erling Haaland] has a big World Cup, boom, right to the top, even over this guy [Zlatan], I love you Z but I will take Haaland over you in terms of legendary status…’ What on earth was the point in Alexi Lalas telling this to Zlatan? 😭😭😭

@OliverMolander The MetLife stadium sucks: getting to it js impossible. Driving up takes hours; taking the train puts your life in danger — there’s one super narrow long skyway from the station to the stadium. How there never been a stampede with multiple fatalities there is beyond me

You don't find stadiums like this anywhere else in the world than in the US. Americans don't just know tech and AI, they are also masters in entertainment and sports. Europe take note.

@Bri_an2 There’s a reason he’s at PSV (no offense to the storied club who’s a shadow of its former self). He’s fast and is a decent dribbler. Shit at crossing and reading the game. Shit defending in 1-on-1 situations

Seeing Dest playing RW just gives me trauma as a Barcelona fan

@MickyJnr__ When I go to work on Monday, I’ll where a Polo with 11 stars that stand for each time I did NOT get hot sauce all over my pants. Egypt’s 7 stars are dumber than Cristiano’s made up awards.

🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Egypt will 𝐍𝐎𝐓 be allowed to wear their World Cup jersey with the stars on it. FIFA has asked them to remove the stars before their opening game against Belgium. The gold colour used for the players’ names and numbers must also be changed. The stars represent Egypt’s record 7 AFCON titles. #WorldCupwithMicky #AFCONwithMicky #FIFAWorldCup

@_Jorgege Dumbest take of the year. Like, dumber than that full kit wanker Lalas.

Opinión muy impopular: Un Mundial con 16 o 24 equipos me parecería una mierda. Estamos hablando de un MUNDIAL. Lo IDEAL serían un torneo dónde TODAS las naciones del planeta se enfrentasen. Cuántos más equipos más diversidad y más competencia. El problema es el formato y la sede
