@@darthbauer5153 same, in most extreme cases I sometimes turn off the TV when we're 1-0 down with 10 minutes left hoping that the lack of my watching will help the boys equalize
How is that a myth? You have to be an idiot to not see that this is a longer term "project" and the young players they bought need a few seasons together to really gel
While I like the idea, I feel as if the way the video script is written isn’t necessarily ideal for a podcast, as podcasts often times has co-hosts, fan interactions, multi-perspective discourse, all that jazz. Definitely is a great listen nonetheless, but I guess it doesn’t feel very podcast like
@@T.E.S.S. I’m sorry that my perspective was one that you didn’t share. Maybe many podcasts don’t have these kinds of elements, I just haven’t been familiarized with them in my experience. Cheers for your response!
@@bg22757 It’s alright, everyone has their own opinions and a voice. Not everyone is going to like everything we/I say, and that’s totally cool. Nothing wrong or unhappy with what they said, all they did was disagree. It’s just a bit of internet fun at the end of the day. I appreciate the response all the same, have a great day!
One ridiculous myth that I’ve seen thrown around a bit too much is Juninho’s having a free kick conversion rate of 44% at Lyon. This comes from a misrepresentation of the stat that 44 of the 100 goals Juninho scored for Lyon were free kicks. An absolutely brilliant free kick taker but his conversion rate was definitely not 44%…
Just as People in England call the defensive midfield role the “Makelele” role, People in Brazil call it “Volante”, also because of a player who mastered it, Carlos Volante. He, however, played in the 1930’s
"2-0 up is the most dangerous score" isn't so much a myth but a good philosophical saying to keep your eye on the prize, ignore the score & focus on playing the game. Don't let that lead change the course of the match - if you're dominate continue pressurizing, if not continue taking calculated risks, if you're under the cosh & the lead is flattering continue weathering the storm. Another example of one of those is "the customer is always right". That's absolute bollox too, but the point of it is to remember the aim is to take their money, not get caught up in irrelevancies like who's more knowledgeable about whatever's being sold to them.
But it's completely, objectively wrong from an actual strategic point of view. This reminds me of a recent video where a guy claimed that because basketball teams score less and concede more when they're ahead on the scoreboard, they were actually playing worse and it was "laziness" or "wanting it less". In reality, if you have the lead you should play in a way that minimizes variance. If you try to blow the game open, keep a heavy press, and try to counterattack constantly, you're creating chaos which gives the other team a much better chance of getting back in the game. You should absolutely be more conservative when you have a lead, because it can be worth intentionally slowing down your offensive production to keep the game more predictable. There is a statistical balance you should aim for based on the size of your lead and the time left in the game that ultimately will mean you are sacrificing your scoring or expected score differential to actually *improve* your chances of winning the game, even though it will look stupid that you'd play in a way that means the final score is likely to be 2-1 and you could get the expected score to 3-0 by playing more aggressively. This is because the playstyle that is more likely to score extra goals also has a much more significant chance of allowing the other team to win. Keeping the pedal down while ahead just gives the other team way more chances to break and find a way back into the game.
@@kylehart8829 Strategically yes, but football (or any sport for that matter) is a psychological game just as much as a tactical or technical one. By changing up the gameplan to be a little slower & more cautious, you're sending a message to the opponent & giving them the opportunity to seize the momentum - and with a two goal lead that's a big risk in football (this lessens the greater the lead is). The key to counteracting this while keeping strategic balance is timing! You can concede the momentum if the clock acts as the pressure source, and depending on the quality of the opposition will determine at what point the clock can be used to your advantage. e.g. in my opinion, the recent game between City & Chelsea, Pochettino had the right idea/struck the right balance but got the timing wrong! Chelsea retreated further & further in the second half, which is fine against that calibre of team, but the addition of the extra defender & then removal of the final attacking outlet both happened 10 minutes to soon. Edit: having reread your comment properly, you essentially said this with less words lol. So yeah I agree.
With the 2-0 lead one, i think it makes more sense that its "The most important goal" is after 2-0. If the opponents score then its 2-1, they're back in the game. I'f it becomes 3-0, then the team is too far ahead. This is similar to tennis with 30-love being the most important point of the gamr
The first goal is the most important, the second one is the second most important and the third one is the third most important, for the exact same reasons described in the video
@@1998CebolaThe 'most important' goals of a given match are entirely contextual. If a team won 3-0 then the 1st goal was the most important as that goal changed the result from a draw to a win - the 2nd and 3rd goals only changed the scoreline, not the result. For a 2-1 victory: if the teams had been tied 1-1 then the third goal was the most important as again it changed the result from a draw to a win. If one team had been 2-0 up however and the trailing team pulled one goal back to end the score at 2-1 then the 1st and 2nd goals were the most important as without those the winning team wouldn't have won and the losing team wouldn't have lost. The 3rd goal was irrelevant to the result. It's purely context.
HITC, I am a goalkeeper coach, I strongly agree with everything you said about goalkeepers. The very idea of the near post myth actually makes me shoot near post when I play striker instead of keeper to much success😂. Nailed every aspect
With that myth, didnt it come about because if you are attacking from an angle less of the goal is visible at the near post than the far post so its more "its harder to score at the near post" rather than being easier to save.
@@T3Draco Not really. The near post will generally be the shortest route to goal which gives the keeper less time to react and also the angle is simpler making the chances of hitting the target higher. So if a keeper places themselves so an equal amount of the goal is shown then most shots will go near post and they will concede most of them. So they place themselves so the near post is more covered as the far post is a harder chance, so a keeper intentionally flips the odds because doing so makes it harder overall for the striker to score
Well I'm a former goalkeeper too and I strongly disagree, you should never ever get beaten at the near post, if it's cut back there's nothing you can do your job is to cover where your defenders can't.
On the Maldini thing, as a Milanista, and an Italian, Maldini played 900 matches in club football, with 400 clean sheets during that period. But, that "record" I could never understand where people got those numbers from lol. remember Milan went undefeated for nearly 3 years, but it was nowhere near anything like that, during the 93/94 season we had an incredible defensive campaign, Sebastiano Rossi kept 32 clean sheets just during the 93/94 season conceding only 15 goals which includes the 4-0 champions league final destruction of Barcelona, but the record is wildly inaccurate.
They talk about them being a center back duo. I'm pretty sure Maldini played as a left back during 93/94 season and most of his early career, with Baresi and Costcurta as Center back. But still that number seams a little low.
@@carlorado82 correct, Paolo started at RB, then Tassotti took over, Costacurta and Baresi played in the center most of the time and Paolo shifted out left.
Thank you for tackling one of the many damaging myths regarding goal keeping. Another ridiculous and damaging myths is goal keepers are responsible for clean sheets. For many years as a junior keeper i was to feel ashamed as i failed to achieve this goal ultimately putting myself under so much pressure i failed completely. Later in life and as a club keeper coach i would ask younger keepers "are you responsible for clean sheets" and inevitability one kid will say yes. So i put them in goals and asign 5 other players to be stikers. Usually the keeper will protest that thats not fair to have 5 vs 1 to which i point out that its a teams responsibility to keep clean sheets not a single player. Keepers are not there to keep clean sheets, their job is to make it as difficult as possible to score. An excellent goal is a complement to the keeper. If a team has to score a top goal then the keeper has successfully done their job. Another myth is keepers are over protected. Keepers have the most dangerous job on the field. Its not easy to take the ball from a striker feet by putting your body in harms way. The reason that you cant interfere with a keeper, or any other player in the air, is the heightened chance of landing in an uncontrolled way. This can and has led to spinal injuries. No game is worth that injury. Its also rich coming from strikers who only need to be brushed against who go down for penalty claims. Safety first surely ps that rule exists in other football codes too for the same reasons.
You are by far the best Football RU-vidr/Influencer. Maldini/Baresi is the perfect example for bad sport journalism in today's world. You just can write any stuff you will, and some people will believe you.
Mine would be that Brazil’s historic success is due to their attacking prowess alone. When Brazil have won the World Cup, they have always been a menace to score against. If you look at their team now with, Marquinhos, Eder Militao, Thiago Silva; and Allison, there’s an argument to be made they’re better at defending that going forward. I think the 2002 team with the three R’s is probably their most top-heavy WC Winning team, but even then they had Cafu, Lucio, and Roberto Carlos. The 1994 team had Cafu, Dunga, Aldair, Marcio Santos, and Taffarel, and they only gave conceded three times all tournament, two of which were vs the Dutch.
Another myth is that Brazilians won by playing "free football" , in reality all the best Brazilian teams aristocratically share the responsibility to defend and the freedom to attack.
Here in Brasil, we have a internet myth that people and social media pages just love to believe It's true, involving Romário and Johan Cruyff at Barcelona. With a certain degree of variability, the story basically goes like this: Romário asked Cruyff if he could take a Holiday trip to Brasil, to celebrate Carnaval. Johan responded that If he score twice in the matchday, he would allow him to go. Romário then proceeded to score two goals in the First half, and then by the end of the initial 45min he would've asked Cruyff to sub him off (some versions say that he intentionally picked up a red card), saying "Mister, my flight leaves in an hour".
Chelsea conceded only 15 premier league goals in Mourinho's first season, meanwhile my team (Sheffield United) have conceded more than that in our last 3 home games 😭😭
Fun Fact: In his 900 match career for Milan, Maldini kept 400 clean sheets in all competitions, and 69 for the Azzurri, taking his total to 467 clean sheets in 1029 matches. When it comes to Paolo this is the record people should be talking about which is absolutely incredible.
@@nikolamitrovic3841 900 match career for Milan, 400 clean sheets for Milan. 69 clean sheets for Azzurri. 469 clean sheets, unless he's rounded it. Quite simple.
I like Maldini's alleged quote "If I have to make a tackle I've already made a mistake". I would prefer my defender to "read" the game and intercept rather than make a tackle. Such genius exists in only one or two sports people in history, waiting for the ball, instead of running after it
Please do a vid on the 7 biggest teams that flopped. Teams that were expected to dominate and yet completely and utterly failed. I think of the galacticos and psg when I imagine this.
Well, England and Brasil almost every WC or Euro/Copa. They are always favourites, but almost always fail(at least Brasil is only so for the last 20 years, but still a lot of 'failed' attempts).
Brits don't appreciate or deserve the premier league. They should be forced to trade it to the US for the NHL plus the lesser of the two Ultimate Frisbee leagues
One of the biggest myths in football is that the "Miracle of Bern" was indeed that, a miracle. The Germans were not the plucky no-hopers they are portrayed as. Sure, they lost 8-3 to Hungary in the group stage, but that was with a second-string team. They went on to comfortably beat two very decent teams in Yugoslavia and Austria on their way to the final, hammering the Austrians 6-1. Meanwhile, Hungary had to survive a bruising quarter-final against Brazil, before being taken to extra-time by Uruguay. The final was played in heavy rain, which suited Germany far better. Also, the Germans had boots supplied by Adidas which featured previously unheard-of exchangeable screw-in studs. The Germans had the added advantage of being dosed with methamphetamine. The German equaliser should have been disallowed due to a foul on the keeper, and Puskas had a goal disallowed for offside, which by all accounts was a very close call. The Hungarians should have won the match, but calling the German victory a miracle is a bit of a stretch.
In the German speaking world there is a huge myth/saying that the fouled player shouldn't take the penalty (because he might be in the wrong state of mind). This has also been disproved from what I could find.
7 good teams who suffered huge defeats. Not necessarily big clubs, Barcelona weren't great when they lost 8-2 but sides that are actually good and consistent who conceded 5 or more
@HajjoRere possibly but it's all subjective to what constitutes a humiliation compared to a team of its level. Real Madrid on a 7 match winning streak and top of the League but losing 5-0 to Barcelona in one of the all time great games, is more humiliating and shocking than Bournemouth losing 9-0 to Liverpool for example. World Champions Spain losing 5-1 in the opening game to the team they beat 4 years prior in the final, and then going out at the group stages is huge. As too Brazil losing to Germany in the semi final of their home tournament etc
It's not said as an attempt to be revolutionary. It's said because that's literally the assertion being made, usually to someone unaware or disbelieving of it (particularly believing that the technology of VAR is entirely counter-productive in improving decision-making).
The Maldini quote should actually be interpreted as "if i have to make a tackle then myself or someone else has already made a mistake". Which is much more accurate as CBs statistically make much fewer tackles than any other outfield player because they're the final line in defence and relying on them to make a challenge leaves you exposed.
Being in possession doesn't just grind an opponent down physically; the lack of player-enjoyment in chasing down the ball for long periods can create nervous tension in itself. Man City - in possession, have created a way of winning that Arsene Wenger so badly wanted to do at Arsenal, but weak officiating allowed opposing teams sufficient leverage to thwart 'The Beautiful Game' by foul means. Don't get me wrong; what Man City does WITHOUT possession is nothing short of unfortunate. But in possession, they are something we SHOULD all aspire to, as wannabe athletes, in ourselves...
Brother I absolutely adore the tiney tiny bits of social commentary you season into you videos. That's peak political education and based as hell, keep up the great work
Another myth is that the Brazilian teams were free to create without tactical obligations, when in reality the Brazilian teams have always been aristocratically organized between those who attack and those who defend.
Great video (as always)! I don’t know if that would make for an interesting video, but I would love to hear your thoughts about the 7 (biggest/best) teams in which their captain was arguably their worst player, since (at least in my opinion) many teams seem to just give their best player the captaincy, especially recently.
In Czechia we have a "rule" called 'Csaplár's trap' which means that leading 2:0 at half time (not any other time, just after the first half) isn't going to win. Don't know how successful this theory is though, but I would say it is bigger percentage than which you presented.
Cool! I guess the losing team has time to think things through and plenty of time to get back into the game. If they could then pull one back early in the second half it's game on!
2-0 might be a myth, but as an Argentinian watching my team giving a football lesson to france in the world cup final until 78 minute i would reconsider
Ref are definitely not against any singular team in particular. But there's a tendency of seeing a team getting a wrong decision either via referee or VAR, and proceed to wrongly get an advantageous decision for them the next game. And the cycle repeats for the next team.
Before Makalele there was The Diamond, Nobby Stiles behind Charlton and Kidd at 8 and 10 with Best and ashton on the wings. Souness anchoring Sammy Lee, Ian rush and Sir Kenny. Before Makale made it boring (developing ruthless talent to make up for zidane and figo refusing to jog back past halfway for Real) it was the Beckenbaur role, a free sweeper playmaker behind the back four, also favoured by Gullit and Moore and Baresi and Sammer, that only went out with the changes to offside tactics and better pitches and a lighter ball making length of the pitch moves more common moving the sweeper in front of the back four rather than behind (see also Pirlo destroying all before him).
Day 22 of asking a "What Went Right for Stade Brestois?" Video This is currently, by far, the best season in club history, one which could result in their first ever qualification for Europe in over 70 years of existence. There's a fascinating story to tell, from going bankrupt and slowly climbing back, to various great names that played there such as Ribéry, Makélélé or José Luis Brown, to the story of the Brest president going up against the Colombian drug cartel. Plus, you can have a lot of Brest related puns. And hey would you look at that, you just talked about Makelele
Not only Brest this season, but Lens last season too. Maybe a "Rise and Fall of Lens"... Though that does feel harsh considering Lens are still 6th in the table...
@@mastertrams I dunno, I think Lens is still doing good. They are 3 points away from 3rd spot. A win against Brest and they are right back into Champions League contention
Alfies not replying as he's secretly working on the video for your suggestion..in a week or so we will see what went right for stade brestois? on our youtube feed, thus mak8ng it a nice surprise for you.
Apart from the usual extraordinary video we are always treated to, I was shocked to hear at the end of the video that YT is trying to shut this channel down. I have 2 Theories: A: Alfie is making one of his remarkable sarcastic comments, would be a perfect fot for a consiparcy related video B: it is actually happening because Alfie talks about topics no one dares to talk about, but that is what makes this channel so unique. I would go with B, and if that's true then I call up on the community of this channel to continue watching the video's and liking them so they get recommended to other football fans.
Alfie pointing out the truth is always a dodgy thing and is potentially a problem for him. As you say we MUST protest if it happens. Mass media has areas it simply will not touch. 1 example. As an Everton fan, i have said for years regarding Usmanov's links ruining us and Moshiri was a puppet. Andros Townsend on BBC 5live Monday NIght Club brought this up that its not Moshiri's money anyway: he would know since he played for us. What followed was a brief silence followed by Rory Smith making a jokey remark about lawsuits and it was never brought up again. Alfie has covered it in his Everton video. He is touching on stuff Mass Media simply stays silent on and he is rightly preparing for the worst.
So the near post "truism" was taught to me when playing goalkeeper and I never questioned it but it passed the smell test for one reason: like Alfie says, your job is to make it as hard as possible to score. By positioning yourself solidly against your post you're forcing either a cross or a shot in a more complicated angle than just a straight shot into the bottom or top corners of your post. The difference is not enormous, but you're giving your defenders a chance to cover a cross and you're still giving yourself a chance to dive to the far post without conceding the easy angle. Not sure if any of this makes sense, but my point is, I don't think of this as a 100% myth, there's some truth to it, I feel.
The biggest myth is that finishing ability is the most important attribute of a striker, and that if they’re not getting any chances it’s their teammates’ fault
On the goalkeeper bit "He made that save for the cameras" is one that does me. Utterly stupid and there's never another way the keeper could have saved it 🤦🏻♂️
The 2-0 one might come from the times of away goals - you lead 2-0, and just 1 goal makes the difference between an awesome home result and a tough 2nd tie
I think its more a statement about mentality rather than a statistical fact its become. At 2-0 mentality wise its hard to get the mentality right. You know that if you can get the 3rd the game is basically dead so you might want to go for that 3rd but you know that leaves you exposed and if they exploit it and it gets back to 2-1 suddenly its all to play for again. But if you go the other way and defend the 2-0 lead you invite them on an it can increase pressure and make conceding more likely.
maldini's quote about tackles is real. It is tho a sentence in a more complex conversation. If i remember correctly he meant that slide tackles are the very last options and sometimes a defender must do one in order to cover a previous mistake
You are my favorite channel on RU-vid. Thank you for your consistent, original, and phenomenal content. I root for Hull in their matches because of you ❤
I know the 2-0 score is a bit of a myth but I will say when I actually played, there was something really unsettling when we went 2-0 up and then we just couldn’t break them down again, and you could feel them building the momentum and if they grabbed that goal to make it 2-1 it was a either that shock that got us back on track or it really deflated us and let them get that opening for the equaliser. So I would guess that is a similar idea as to why that myth came about.
I will add two that I've seen plenty of times, and ridiculous to say the least. 1- Messi's childhood treatment turned him into a super human athlete, thus should be stripped off his awards. 2- The most powerful and obscure people from the football world and media are against Ronaldo, and he is battling them in the shadows. I mean, could you imagine? One of the most recognizable and marketingable faces in the world, that have spent most of his professional days playing for both the biggest club in England and the biggest club in Spain, and nowadays is the biggest name in Saudi Arabia's sportwashing apparatus, while enjoying benefits and commodities that no other of his colleagues has, that guy, somehow is being plotted against by "The powerful" ?
You wrong in both, 1 would messi be who he is today without injecting growth hormones?No he would be even shorter and a lot weaker but I know it was a must for him to get injected or else he wouldn't have been able to play.no one asked to be stripped. 2 maybe you too young to remember but Ronaldo was hated since day 1 by media,I remember as a kid buying sport newspapers every day and you would have articles everyday saying he is partying too much he is a coke addict he is a womanizer he is not training he will fail soon he is a one season wonder,he proved them all wrong nd he is still to this day hated by mainstream media(skysport ESPN cbs etc)he was the biggest star since Beckham nd the media hated the fact that he didnt give an f about playing ball with them.we fans dont say it's powerful governments going after him,just the media nd it is so obvious how biased they are against him.
@@bansenpy5553 How am I wrong tho? I'm not talking particularly about you, or about what you think. Or are you a representative that speaks in the name of all the persons that believe in myths? 1- So what if he couldn't have played without the treatment, what does that prove to you? Do you understand that he did not obtain any advantage for undergoing it? His body wasn't producing HGH as it should do, so was given it in a dose that would correspond to the normal presence in blood for a human without his disease. 2- So he was criticed, something that literally every high profile player goes through. Saying he is hated by the media while they consistently show his success is a conspiracie teorist's thought. There are literally posts from ESPN about Ronaldo in their RU-vid channels that put him in a good light also. Last one is from 4hs ago.
Paul Scholes being misused by England and regularly played on the left. Or just the myth that Paul Scholes was some kind of all-time great on level with players like Modric, Pirlo and Xavi.
Been asking this for years, please TRY to make a video on FK Qarabag of Azerbaijan. Ghost town club who had been playing away from home for over 30 years because of war and with almost no budget but still qualifying to European Group Stages for 10 years in a row including once into the UCL group stages. Became arguably the closest team to beat Bayer Leverkusen this season TWICE. Please at least consider it. Thank you.
The weird thing I learnt from this hat is that from 2-0 up you're more likely to lose than draw It probably won't go wrong but if it does it'll probably go really wrong
Hi Alfie I’m a huge fan of your content and for that I thank you a lot. Are you planning on doing a video of the recent scandal of corruption by Benfica ? Big shout out from Portugal 😁
The talk about 2-0 being a tricky goes back at least 40 years from my memory. Originally, it was mainly about teams that were 2-0 up being unsure whether they should relax and sit on their lead or push for more goals, rather than it being dangerous.
2-0 is a dangerous lead, if there's still time left in the game of course. I'm sure a lot of the 2-0 results counted by the researchers would have been 1-0 wins converted to 2-0s to 'kill the game' later on. Not the same concept as the myth suggests tbf.
In Bulgaria is getting damn mad over the referees helping Levski, CSKA and Ludogorets (especially Ludogorets) to reach the top 3 meanwhile Cherno More is fighting against the BFU, The referees and other thing, which is...
There are, unfortunately, some leagues where the referees are indeed bent (Bulgaria being one of them), but most of the fans making accusations of referee bias are fans of clubs outside those leagues
#4 is a weird take to me because if you were to build the perfect soccer player in a lab, from a physical and athletic standpoint, you'd probably build someone that looks a whole lot like Cristiano Ronaldo
@@needfoolthings presumably the myth that Messi was just born to be a perfect football player, since at a glance Ronaldo's physique looks more suited to it (and therefore you might assume that people would be more likely to think that he was the one born with the advantage, not Messi). Of course Ronaldo's physique is largely of his own making and Messi's short stature has helped him to be such an incredible dribbler with a low centre of gravity (and anyway both of them have worked really hard for decades to get where they did and so either way it would of course be a myth).
the 2-0 thing was said by Carlos Salvador Bilardo. The dude knew stuff so I think it's a bit disrespectful to just call it a myth. Some Europeans never see that here in South America we were light years ahead of them in football
A smaller myth but I think necessary to tell is UEFA welcoming membership based on human rights core and value, which is nothing more than a myth shattered. UEFA approved Kazakhstan to leave AFC to UEFA in 2002, only for later documents published by human right groups in Nordic countries accusing Kazakhstan of theft, bribery, imprisonment of dissidents and corruption to join UEFA and that Kazakhstan has become the 21st century's first sportswashing state. Sadly UEFA's blinded reactions enabled authoritarian regimes in the world to copy Kazakhstan playbook since, notably Russia, China and Saudi Arabia.
Good stuff. Done it again - started by critiquing the idea that goalkeepers shouldn't concede at their near post, before suddenly debunking trickle-down economics! If you do a part two, could you combine the incorrect theory that the economy works like a household budget, with the concept of the "[club X] way", i.e. that your team somehow has a different / unique / more attractive / classier style than others?
I think the "2-0 is the most dangerous lead" thing is really more accurately phrased as "it's the most DECEPTIVELY dangerous lead." a 1-0 lead is obviously, blatantly precarious, to a point where it's a given that it is the most ACTUALLY dangerous lead, by far, and throwing away a 3-goal lead is a SUBSTANTIALLY rarer event than a 2 goal lead. meaning that 2-0 hits that sweet spot between not being OBVIOUSLY dangerous in the way that a 1-goal lead is, but not being statistically safe to anywhere near the degree that 3-goal-leads are. the key point being that it's disproportionately dangerous relative to HIGHER leads and not as comfortable as it might appear.
The ref being biased might sound ridiculous, but I don’t they are anywhere near as clean as what some people think, particularly when it comes to big teams in basically every league
A particular manifestation of the myth in #1 place is that Argentina had the World Cup rigged. Some people just can't stand the idea that Messi won the World Cup while also being the best player in said competition.
Around 2006 I remember a diagram in a newspaper showing how Chelsea were going to line up that night, with 11 dots on a green rectangle and the players names. Each player had an arrow or two coming from them to show who else they are likely to pass to. Makélélé was the only player that had 11 arrows coming from him, to every single other player in the team! Yes he was good but was he _that_ good, just lol.
"you'd think football commentators would know" If there's any one thing I've learned by watching football matches, it's that absolutely NO ONE knows less about football than football commentators on TV. It's kind of insane.
My team, Colo-Colo, lost twice to Universidad Católica 2-3 after leading 2-0 (I was at the stadium both times). I also remember the Liverpool vs. Bournemouth game and, of course, the 2-5 Liverpool loss to Real Madrid after leading 2-0 too. Also, this season in Spain, you have Real Madrid beating Almería and drawing to Valencia after being 2-0 down. While it's true that those results are a drop in the ocean, they do happen often enough to make question themselves if there's a reason why after leading a match 2-0 isn't always a win.
