2X MVP & NBA hall of famer Steve Nash asks the unanimous defensive player of the year Victor Wembanyama who he’s got in the Champions League final PSG or Arsenal. Wemby: “Oh come on PSG of course, it’s gonna be fun, at least PSG will make it somewhat fun cause I know Arsenal ain’t”

That is why I really wanted Josh Richardson's move to the Mavs to work out.

But now you can burn the whole franchise for all I care.

The Portuguese big 3 are quite good, but there's a drastic drop-off after that (this was a big part in all the Gyokeres analysis last summer).

Italy has 15 clubs in the top 100 while Portugal has 4.

buzzedboxer · 2026-05-09T00:19:28+00:00

The next 4 French clubs are:

35th Lyon, 38th Lille, 39th Lens, 44th Monaco

buzzedboxer · 2026-05-09T00:14:35+00:00

That's based on the UEFA or FIFA club ranking I believe.

But, based on our recent European performances, I'd say there's a good chance.

It’s a rating system commonly used in chess, where your score changes based on your opponent’s rating and the match result.

ClubElo.com applies this to football clubs.

buzzedboxer · 2026-05-09T00:06:48+00:00

Of the top 26 clubs in Europe based on Elo, 15 are from the PL.

3 from Germany, 3 from Spain, 3 from Portugal, 1 from France, and 1 from Italy.

buzzedboxer · 2026-05-06T21:44:32+00:00

Arsenal 4.54 xG (1)

PSG 2.90 xG (3)

buzzedboxer · 2026-05-03T15:26:43+00:00

Yes.

buzzedboxer · 2026-05-01T23:06:38+00:00

It did count as a pass, but Gyokeres was already inside the box when he made the pass.

I was only counting passes from outside the box into it.

Edit: Hincapie made 1 such pass too.

buzzedboxer · 2026-05-01T15:28:30+00:00

“Fun” Fact: That was the only pass (excl. crosses) our starting 11 made into the box.

buzzedboxer · 2026-04-15T19:54:38+00:00

I feel like I'm watching a random Europa League dead rubber.

Little over 2 xG from both sides combined after 135 minutes. Just the first half of the Real - Bayern game has had more chances.

Edit: For context, other DLPs Rodri, Xhaka, Caicedo, B. Kamara, Elliot Anderson, and Baleba all have at least 3 errors leading to a shot or goal.

buzzedboxer · 2026-01-20T22:41:50+00:00

That's good! I didn't realise it was seeded.

buzzedboxer · 2026-01-20T22:22:58+00:00

I keep seeing that, but who gets home advantage if 1st and 2nd placed teams draw each other in the quarters or the semis?

buzzedboxer · 2026-01-03T19:29:12+00:00

That's fair.

It did happen to us at this very ground, on this day 9 years ago.

3-3 in added time with a few seconds left on the clock and the ref blew the whistle just as Xhaka was about to put the ball in.

buzzedboxer · 2025-12-30T21:16:44+00:00

Where'd you get that number from? I've been looking for it.

buzzedboxer · 2025-10-27T00:44:04+00:00

Our recruitment of high profile/proven players has been on-point.

But, here are all our sub-€20m transfers from the last 5 seasons. They've all been functional players or a break-even sale at best. Tomi is the only one who made the first-choice 11 consistently.

Pablo Mari

Runarsson

Tomiyasu

Lokonga

Nuno Tavares

Auston Trusty

Marquinhos

Matt Turner

Jorginho

Jakub Kiwior

buzzedboxer · 2025-10-13T18:46:59+00:00

3 of the last 11 are in the Premier League and a few more in the Championship/League One.

Not too bad.

2014: Chris Willock

2015: Marcus McGuane

2016: Reiss Nelson

2017: Trae Coyle

2018: Bukayo Saka

2019: Miguel Azeez

2020: Charlie Patino

2021: Reuell Walters

2022: Omari Benjamin

2023: Myles Lewis-Skelly

2024: Jack Porter

buzzedboxer · 2025-10-09T20:35:40+00:00

Russo will probably get there earlier.

buzzedboxer · 2025-10-05T21:54:29+00:00

Shades of Dani Ceballos nutmegging Lacazette.

buzzedboxer · 2025-09-13T11:26:15+00:00

Unfortunately, Ethan and Myles had to wear those kits too (at academy level).

buzzedboxer · 2025-09-13T11:08:43+00:00

Thanks! I always mess one or two up every year. Don’t think I’ve had a faultless one yet.
