I'm only now catching up on the Bogle stuff and my chat is how come VAR didn't intervene and recommend the ref give him a yellow card - since apparently that's something they (can) do now..

This guy is funny icl. The subsequent "sulking" tracks with fighting Palmer over a penalty. Still work to do to flush the Chelsea virus out of his system..
Martin ødegaard and Madueke shouting at eachother. after the goal they were the one romancing each other again 😭😭❤️

I've noticed a recent trend of kit makers adopting the centred logo design. Everyone from Adidas, Puma, Joma, Kappa etc. although most of what Adidas make are pre-match tops - some of which are literal works of art tbf..

Ekse Zulu speakers how come y'all pronounce "S'madzadza" the way you do - as in in siSwati. Because words like "Indoda"/"Isidakwa" in isiZulu is pronounced "Indvodza"/"Sidzakwa" in siSwati. Someone explain it to me, please..

He delayed a pass to an overlapping Timber who was then offside when he eventually played it & left the ball, didn't engage, while continuing his run to be back onside. Noni stood there for like 8 seconds, arms out like "why didn't you go for the ball.." Timber made nothing of it

Madueke wanted the ball and was angry odegard took it .. madueke is so annoying got his attitude and I know since his Chelsea days he is terrible with that attitude

Had a youth coach who liked the mental part a lot, I think to mitigate the fact that we were small. He'd often say your opponent will either be stronger/smarter/faster than you but will rarely be all 3 - know what he is good/better than you at & then dominate him on the other 2..

PSG midfielders (esp. Ruiz/Neves/WZE) do this thing where it seems like, to the untrained eye, they carry, not necessarily dribble, into a blind alley of sorts. I say this because I've noticed on many occasions they will deliberately travel with the ball past a teammate who's ...

commit/draw the opp into jumping to press and at the last second they cutback to the teammate they just carried the ball past - the amount of reverse and backheel passes the team as a whole complete is noticeable. The teammate who receives this reverse pass has now acres for ...

them to work in (recieve, control, turn) under relatively little pressure, as the blind alley run/carry was merely a decoy/wild goose settings, and the receiver may also carry the ball themselves. I noticed it while trying to decipher the triggers for their midfield rotations..

I just double checked because I remember it being a very low number but how/why did Pep/Man City sign Ferran with 9 senior men's career goals for Valencia (in 71 apps) - that time I'd actually watched him play before..
Half-winger, half-striker chat reminds me of a conversation I had with my dad about Marmoush/Ferran Torres types - technically not winger but can sometimes/kind of moonlight as a striker, not really sure of their place in the "forward" food-chain. It's attacker purgatory..

I remember once he did one those mazey outside of the foot runs and then a few minutes later a stat popped up saying he was the player with the fewest touches with 3. I couldn't believe it..

Odegaard doesn't feel the need or isn't instructed to play as deep when MLS plays with him in midfield. Myles handling the progression pushes Martin further up the pitch a la Partey..
Odegaard and Bruno g just don’t work together Bruno wants to receive deep and fizz the ball into the pockets or put someone through on goal Odegaard wants to receive the ball deep and play it out wide and get us further up the pitch

You guys aren't sharp enough to also notice that Ode's "form" can be directly linked/attributed to MLS starting and playing together with him in midfield. Uptick in minutes = uptick in form and visa versa..

I would wager that Ode's average position/heatmap when playing with Bruno and MLS backs this up..
