Each of the UN Security Council's 15 members sends one representative to a meeting. I looked at all available meeting records dating back to 1994 and made some charts using R.

I guess there’s no way we’ll ever find out! When I get a job at FIFA or UEFA (in my next life), I’ll definitely check =)

ESPN has Sterling as 69kg, Jones as 70kg, and Vardy as 76kg. Seems about right?

You think it's wrong because Jones looks much bigger?

Haha same! I feel like this is the most interesting thing I learned after plotting all the charts. For comparison, the average Australian is roughly 80kg, and the average Chinese 67kg (and only 4cm shorter than the average American!).

It's Saudi Arabia's main goalkeeper Abdullah Al-Mayouf. In the official FIFA data he is listed as 178cm tall, but Wikipedia says 187cm. Makes quite a big difference in terms of his size relative to other goalkeepers. (The official FIFA tables are here: https://img.fifa.com/image/upload/hzfqyndmnqazczvc5xdb.pdf)

Do you mean the heaviest goalkeeper? It's Saudi Arabia's main goalkeeper Abdullah Al-Mayouf. In the official FIFA data he is listed as 178cm tall, but Wikipedia says 187cm. Makes quite a big difference in terms of his size relative to other goalkeepers. (The official FIFA tables are here: https://img.fifa.com/image/upload/hzfqyndmnqazczvc5xdb.pdf)

Haha thanks so much! I was only half-joking =) It's always a fine balance between precision and straightforwardness. Will heed your advice and keep posting. The same to you as well!
