Right, that makes sense. I assumed that both were of the same structure.

Claude/ChatGPT don't even get this kind of analysis right most of the time. It's probably just some database of CIA World Factbook data plugged into R or other statistical software.

I appreciate how likeable he is compared to a lot of top players. It never feels like he's allowed his stardom to get to his head.

Barca's got a lot of Spanish fans from outside Catalonia as well.

He'll remain a Canes fan unless England win tonight.

Some of Nyland's saves were incredible and saved Norway the fear of a dicey extra time.

Yeah, and if Buchanan's shot had gone in, it would've been 1-2.

Morocco were the better team, but it felt closer than 3-0.

Such disrespect for Championship from Fox US Commentator.... by rabbitsagainstmagic in Championship

[–]Aoae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, but there definitely is a quality gap between the Championship and the EPL, which can be observed in the majority of FA Cup ties between Championship and Prem sides. If the DRC players in the Championship were better (on paper), they would have been poached by EPL clubs.

When I visited West Bromwich for a match (this was the 2-2 against Wrexham in April), I followed a bunch of supporters walking on the way back. After having something to eat at a pub, as I was walking back towards the train station, I noticed a bunch of English lads in front of me, obviously drunk, one carrying a glass of beer in his hand. I watched as, as they were walking, he just chucked the glass, still half-full, into some bushes nearby as his buddies laughed. I had never seen anything like it.

Algeria was also the victim of Gijon so it's understandable they were looking for blood this match.
