Defined as 1 is the reason 0.95 becomes 0.25.
And if the number is lower than 10%, 10%.
And if you are so irrelevant they can't be arsed waste their time talking with you, 10%.
Nothing scientific about it, just pure trolling.
First paragraph is.
As far as the second goes, I reckon the rocket science part comes from the reliance of Amorim's 2-2-1 spine on the wingbacks stretching play. Agree it's quite common to see sides switch from 4-2-3-1 to 5-3-2 (I deliberately...

With English sides, I only got to see them in continental cups, or when they...
Yeah, agree to disagree, absolutely.
Chicken and egg, right? That's how eventually you get to post-2006 Arsenal systematically targeting Top Four, qualifying to the CL every year, struggling to balance Europe and the Top 4 run in come...
I completely disagree with making it remotely relevant.
I completely disagree with the notion that you can even attempt to qualify the assessment of a player removing the greatest tournament performance of all time. Take 1970 away from Pelé and...
The funny thing with all that raging debate is I agree with the @mertens base case (a handful of players were considered BPITW in the first half of the 80s) but completely disagree with all of his arguments :lol:
