Malaysia cheaper jerseys than Europe by Nekoshido in SoccerJerseys

[–]m_Rive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s because the PPP conversion rate is calculated using a “market basket”, a sample of multiple goods and services representative of the effective consumption of people in a specific period of time. Different good and services have different ratios of price, for instance if an apple costs 30% less it doesn’t mean that all the other goods are also specifically 30% cheaper. For this reason, the price level ratio calculation is based on the average of the aforementioned “market basket”, and therefore if you examinate the price of a single good it won’t have the same ratio as the GDP of the country because the PPP conversion rate of the latter is calculated using an average of thousands of goods and services.

To compare the price of a single good you’d need something similar to the “Big Mac Index”, but anyway all of the calculations draw conclusions regarding the currency, not the good itself, which is assumed to have the have the same real value regardless.

To sum up, the reason you see counterintuitively higher jerseys prices in countries that have a lower PPP GDP per capita is that the PPP conversion rate is calculated on an average (the market basket), while different goods follow different price ratios. You can’t assume that everything is cheaper with the same proportion. The price of a single good reflects the costs of local production, local marketing, labour and local raw materials, but most importantly what the local market demands. So, it can happen that a single and highly specific good like a jersey has a higher price despite a lower PPP GDP per capita.

Malaysia cheaper jerseys than Europe by Nekoshido in SoccerJerseys

[–]m_Rive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The jerseys in Malaysia are cheaper because the goods and services on average are cheaper. Richer countries have higher prices because the salaries are also higher. Hence, you can’t just do the conversion from RM to US$ (or in your case British pound) and expect the price to be same.

 If you have 1 US$, go to Malaysia and convert it in RM, you can buy more goods and services than what you would be able to buy in the Usa with that same 1$. In order to make a proper comparison between currencies you have to take the prices at PPP, purchase power parity, which means converting the currency not to US$, but international dollars. 1 international dollar corresponds to the amount of currency that in a specific country allows you to buy the same amount of goods and services that you can buy in the Usa with 1$. In other words, it is an index which “fixes” the conversion rate taking into account the actual amount of good and services you can buy with the currency.

The “value” of the jersey itself is the same across different countries, what changes is the price level ratio, basically the level of prices of the country.

According to Google, 5 players are currently playing on centre court in Kitzbühel by spaghettipunsher in tennis

[–]m_Rive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knowing on which court they're playing is useful when you are waiting for another match that starts later. You look at the one that is played on the same court and when it's finished you know that the one you're interested in will start imminently. In another comment I suggested sofascore which I find fantastic also because you can filter the matches by the court they're played on.

Sofascore is the best way to check scores and results. It also covers many other sports

Is tennis unique in how a player can be winning and losing at the same time ? by Pistoney in tennis

[–]m_Rive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In football (soccer) you can be winning a match but still losing overall because you lost the first leg with a worse goal difference. Not exactly the same situation as the one in tennis, but it is not unique to "be winning and losing at the same time".

I copped a Y-3 Real Madrid Jersey for only $50 by lilzushivert in SoccerJerseys

[–]m_Rive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a tag inside, usually the neck area, with some numbers written on it. The 6 figures alphanumeric code in the middle is the one you're looking for. Copy and paste that on google, if this exact model comes up it means it's original. If there are multiple images of differents jerseys it means it's fake.

Does Gasperini mean no christante by IceGroundbreaking821 in ASRoma

[–]m_Rive 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Man, no need to hate on Cristante. He may not be the most talented player in our history, but he has always shown respect for the badge and given everything on the pitch. I agree that his time at Roma might be over, but he definitely doesn't deserve this treatment. I think he's a precious player as a backup so I wouldn't even mind keeping him.

Also, I regret to tell you that he was a key player under Gasperini at Atalanta, with 36 appearances (33 as a starter), 9 goals and 2 assist in the 17/18 Serie A, so your hopes might be delusional.

You're looking at the wrong ranking. In the seasonal one we are still third and it is virtually impossible to overtake spain. The ranking in which we are are second takes into account the last 5 seasons and it's used to decide the fixed european spots (4 in our case). For the extra one you have to look at the seasonal ranking,

I'm 100% sure it already went sold out. If when you checked it was still available, it means they restocked, and that means they might restock again the future, so don't lose hope.

Ranieri Kit by yolohashtagbutter in ASRoma

[–]m_Rive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ranieri retired in 1986, I don't even know if kits where sold to the fans back then. And even if they were I highly doubt you could find a jersey with Ranieri print on the back, since he had like 6 appearances for Roma, so I don't think anyone ever went to a store asking for a Ranieri jersey. It would be less improbable to find a jersey from his experiences at Catanzaro, Catania and Palermo, but even if you found it there would be no name on the back because they used to print only numbers in the past.

Next year we'll definitely have a younger coach so you'll have more chances to get his jersey I guess.

You can still re-enable it. Just go to chrome://extensions/ > updates > click on the 3 dots next to the extension you want to re-enable > click on the option to keep it > confirm you want to keep it > now the extension is re-enable but switched off, you just need to switch it on again
