Desaparecido
Player Valuation: £15m
If you're a bit mad, like me like, you might be so impressed with Everton's third goal from the weekend that you are reminded of Argentina's famous goal against Serbia and Montenegro in the 2006 World Cup.
Here's how I tally it:
Argentina
Number of passes - 25
Time of uninterrupted possession of the ball - 0:55
Number of passes on the deck - 22
Everton
Number of passes - 25
Time of uninterrupted possession of the ball - 1:14
Number of passes on the deck - 23
Now it's worth considering that after the final ball into the box we 'lost' possession because it came off an opposition player. But we also played more stuff on the deck, which I prefer. We also had the ball longer.
Everton - better than Argentina 2006.
