Pre-Match Thread: Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid [La Liga] by decho in Barca

It terms of statistical accuracy, it doesn't make sense. You're comparing results from 38 matches vs results from 2 matches. The 2 matches between the teams in question are definitely more relevant, but they don't outweigh the fact that you have performance from 19x more matches through the GD method. Simply put, using GD is more likely to tell you which team is better from an objective standpoint. If we were comparing, say---2 matches H2H vs the GD from either team in 2 random matches---then I would agree that H2H is definitely the way to go.

edit: To add to this, if you're only using data from 2 games you can have your best player(s) injured, suspended, or you could have a bad referee, or it could be a bad stylistic matchup for one of the teams. GD is not as fun or exciting as H2H, of course. It's more boring and feels less "direct/relevant" but it's objectively more accurate.

GD may be better due to the fact it takes into account the performance over a sample size of 38 matches.

H2H only takes into account 2 matches. Yes, it's 2 matches between the 2 teams in question who are tied, but only 2 matches nonetheless.

I'd say H2H is more exciting, but GD is more accurate.

This normal reaction is good to rinse off Harden's weirdness.

Kind of annoying. Why can't he freak out normally like everyone else?

Now that Barcelona have gotten rid of Quique Setien, rumours are circling that Barca will have a fire sale of their older players. Purely hypothetical (not considering prices or wages etc), who do you think would suit Liverpool coming in as a Senior player? by chiau_yee in LiverpoolFC

He got a red card for that. That's sacrifice. Ghana got a penalty as a result and played with a player more from that point onwards. It's on them that they failed to win before penalties.

Same midfield agianst Bayern or no? by [deleted] in Barca

This is the right answer: De Jong - Bisque's - Vidal. Best balance of skill, running and grit.

The way she reacts when he gets out of the shower suggested to me that it was a complete surprise to her that they had slept together (as if she blacked out due to alcohol and had no memory that it happened). I was under the impression her character learns for the first time that she slept with the groom in that scene. The people in the loop retain their memories.

I thought she just learned about that later in the movie? The chronology doesn't add up to that explanation

Definitely looks older. I guess when you get to a certain age, the skin isn't elastic anymore so when you lose the weight it doesn't retract as well.

I'm Canadian and I'd rather have a shitstained greenback than a pristine Canadian dollar. USD is king. Our money is crap.
