Welcome to FootyPsych Football doesn’t just test tactics—it tests emotions. Losses trigger anger, blame, and identity defence. That’s psychology, not weakness. Here we break down the mental side of the game to help fans: A.regulate emotions after defeats B.separate performance from identity C.think clearer, react calmer and enjoy the game again.

@baudelairestard Proper analysis Townsend.First person I have seen analyze that game without being emotional.

Very impressive analysis from Andros Townsend. Please can we have him on TV somewhere in future instead of some of the utterly hopeless fuckwits that are currently employed - particularly by Sky Sports?!🙄

@Brilamedia Witch doctor or herbal doctor let’s keep things straight.Always trying to paint Africa with a certain shade of grey.

😂 Jamie Vardy hilariously recalls Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho using “juju cream” to recover from injuries at Leicester. 🇳🇬🤣

A Complete Refutation of this Messi vs Ronaldo Article If you think you can compare and determine superiority of one player over another statistically, you have to develop, justify, and execute sound methodology - which you purposefully do not Michael for partisan reasons. I will deconstruct this. First, the dataset used is fundamentally in its timeline is squarely strongly biased in Messi's favor: it includes his prime years, and excludes his pre-prime years, WHILE excluding Ronaldo's prime years (data only from 2009/10 season when Barca and Messi were best in the world): theguardian.com/football/blog/… Ronaldo was in his physical prime, and was crowned the clear best player in the world by the BDor and FIFA POTY, after also being runner up the season before. When he came to challenge Messi in his own home turf (La Liga), he was the NUMBER ONE BALL CARRIER in the WORLD: "When he came to Spain, nobody ran with the ball more than Ronaldo." source: grantland.com/the-triangle/t… His game evolved. Over time, he converted into a center forward. While Messi switched from a Right wing forward to center forward and invariably switched between both for a while. The goalscoring numbers cannot be analyzed in a vacuum. Yes, Messi maintained high-scoring numbers against weaker teams for the entirety of his career. But this is not the case when you look at the composition of goals: - Declining numbers in UCL KOs. Absent goals in WC and Copa KOs. - No goals in tough away UCL matches (KOs QF and beyond). While Ronaldo maintained and INCREASED his output in this setting. To do so requires adapting his game substantially. You can hide Messi's decline in goalscoring by aggregating goals vs weak opponents, but there is an opportunity cost here: against strong opponents, the goals dry up. pbs.twimg.com/media/D30ffMiW… The aggregate stats: progressive passes, xA, etc. are strongly correlated with possession-based teams. Higher volume of actions reflects style, not just substance. This is an important confounder. Of course, you won't find a single player during Messi's time of activity with more touches since the sample you took is... Messi's career! We know Messi had the most touches during his time as an active player - so what exactly is the data saying? You took the time to separate non-penalty goals from goals. Are penalties not a quality of a great player? Whether winning them or scoring them? Is that not football? So why did you exclude them from your analysis, but included chances and assists from dead ball situations (free kicks, corners) which Messi takes thousands - and Ronaldo none? Again, the analysis is thoroughly biased. Lastly, you have NOT justified the stats that you chose to use in your analysis BEYOND the egregious exclusion of Ronaldo's peak years of activity. What happened to recovery runs, sprints, dummy runs, positional discipline, consistency of activity throughout a match, consistency of scoring cross-competitions, winning / clutch goals? Why did you pick and choose the stats you decided to pick which model and describe Messi's playstyle - but do not capture Ronaldo's? This is an utter failure.

@OptaJoe Not surprising coming from Opta-heard you guyz once adjusted Ronaldo’s chances created between 2009-2014.

1 - Cristiano Ronaldo scored as many goals in the FIFA World Cup knockout stages as Harry Maguire (one each). Equals.

@gerryg6969 @statmusefc Y’ll just run around with agenda without facts.The Colombia game y’ll criticized him for Man had the most offers between the lines 15,2nd most run behind the defenders 18.There are certain things people with poor understanding of the game can see and I don’t blame y’ll.

@Skynation3 @statmusefc Yeah he was flying around in the box alright, looked like he could play again at 41. Guy cost his country a chance at a World Cup and that shouldn’t be forgiven

Cristiano Ronaldo has attempted 0 dribbles in his last 9 matches. He has not completed one in his last 15 matches.

@Rooneyology @RyanRozbiani How do you sleep at night?

@RyanRozbiani Crocodile tears from that fat piece of shit. Look at his head. Massive fucking unit that with the jerry curls to hide a cooked hairline. Dude is completely shot and embarrassing. Praying to some fake god to forgive him for bottling all of that talent

@FabrizioRomano Delusional is an understatement.

🚨🇨🇦 Canada manager Jesse Marsch: “The better team today? I’d rather be us than Morocco”.

@0xarslan I don’t necessarily agree-they best teachers simplify complicated concepts to the point the seem so easy.

Gareth Bale says Real Madrid won five Champions Leagues under Ancelotti and Zidane doing almost zero tactics "We didn't do much tactical work, and I'm sure you guys probably some of the best player lads, some of the best strike partners, if you never even worked together." "Does anybody do that much? Real Champions without doing that much. Most tactics we would do is that's the key you knew if you had Barcelona or Bayern, you would do a little bit of tactics. The rest would be minimal." "You don't need to be a coach. You just need to manage this group of players and let them do what they do." Bale (on Ancelotti): "His man management was the best. If you weren't playing, he would make you feel like you're still his best mate. And when he needed you, he'd be like, 'You got to be ready.' And you'd just be ready."

@Joe__Bassey FACTS

Nigeria is one of the richest, if not the richest, country on earth in terms of resources and minerals after DR Congo. Don’t let the mainstream brainwash you. Most of Nigeria’s minerals are untapped, especially in the Northern region.

@Joe__Bassey You guys still take Elon seriously?He is an agenda merchant.

Elon Musk won’t see this, but if he were black or African, he would have been ranting.

Koulibaly at fault for both goals-lost his man on both occasions.

@united4life72 @alex_crook I don’t know about that part.

@Skynation3 @alex_crook French team is African..

France the latest big team to look underwhelming early in their #WorldCup campaign. Are we going to get some unexpected teams going deep?

@Joe__Bassey I will rephrase-this French team is special but Senegal is pretty special.After the last nations cup it became obvious to me that the top 4 African teams can beat anyone.Too bad Nigeria didn’t qualify .

The France team isn’t special; the Senegalese team can beat them.

@OgbeniDemola 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

The reason Africa is poor is because we don’t choose our leaders. We are made to believe we choose them. African leaders are chosen in London, Paris & Washington.
