"Who is this man?" is a reference to the theme tune to a Colombian soap opera that was massive there in the mid 2000s. It's a bit like Wayne Rooney signing for Atlético Nacional of Medellín and them tweeting something about Damon Grant

This is the intro to the series: Pasión de gavilanes...

It feels like Colombia might follow the players they love more than the club. So who ever JR plays for us who they follow.. wonder if there is any truth in that.

Yes and no. If the player lasts long enough in the club and is successful there, they stay fans. Like most colombians are fans of Inter Milan because of Ivan Ramiro Cordoba and stayed fans. I think Atletico Madrid are the preferred La Liga team because of how much success Falcao had there and how they treated him well.

There is no EPL team that Colombians favored up to this point. If James has a nice career here and he redeems his status as a world class player here, fans will stay.

Depends if the ball from Richy was counted as a shot - most xA models only count when a shot was taken. There are non-shot ones that measure how dangerous *any* type of pass is though I think.

Generally, chance created/key pass is nothing like as useful as xA

remember when football was more interesting than algebra?

Hope he makes us win things just so the disgusting media have to report it.

Fume = knowledge, and those writers ain't got none.

Wouldn’t knowledge lead to fume? It wouldn’t be unlike football fans to underrate a role or position becuase they don’t understand it

 

[Arteta10]

it’s both

Well technically yes.

But there's nothing sexy about a spreadsheet.....James and his passes on the other hand, phwoar
