  1. I think this is the extent to which those mental attributes matter from my own experience with the game. You also often see those backroom staff in the favored personnel of the Youth products of your academy which shows that their personality definitely rubs off on the young whippersnappers. As for the difference an attribute or two here and there makes, I’m not quite sure.
  2. @Persephone How is the Merovingian doing? I can't believe I'm meeting someone from The Matrix at last.
  3. 1 + 1 = 2 (not 2!). Why put the prime? There's no mathematical reason to do so.
  4. I don't know if this is still the same in newer versions of the game, but from the time the Tech. Dir. was a role in the game, he had the power to fire the manager. So, the first thing I always do when I go to a club is, Fire the Technical Director. It absolutely made no logical sense that the manager can fire the T.D. and the T.D. can fire the manager. Illogical and absurd.
  5. I think I’ve had a similar observation to the OP all these years and it’s really really annoying. But I wonder how much that body language actually had on their performance and how that can be measured? I also notice that they usually go straight from complacent to variants of nervous and nerves once the score becomes closer (from their being complacent!). So I’d rather term it “overconfident”, but I wonder how much impact it has on their actual performance
  6. Is it just me, or was this exact same topic discussed in General Discussion days ago?!
  7. But it certainly looks like something that should make a difference, if not, why do they do coin flips to decide who takes first?
  8. Why did they do away with the ABBA method by the way?
  9. Football is a mental game; both literally and figuratively! How did the French team just gain so much confidence from their 1st goal after playing nothing till then, and Arg just lose all their fortitude! We saw it happen against Spain, Germany and a few others. The World Cup of comebacks And that referee deserves a mention. It will take some effort looking for the post to upvote it where others mentioned it, but he had a perfect game getting all the major decisions spot on.
  10. What a final. What a tournament. What legends.. This Mbappe guy should really have left France and gone to one of the bigger leagues when he had the chance. Very bad decision on his part and I equate it slightly ahead of Neymar leaving FCBarcelona to go to PSG as one of the worse transfers/decisions of recent years. He's just shackled himself professionally over there in the French capital. Also, watch out for this France team when these youngsters all mature a bit more.. Once it went to penalties, I had an inkling Argentina would win because they had more experienced players but this French team, when/if it comes of age, would be fantastic to watch. I'm happy for Messi. Watched him when he came up and to finally see this happen, I'd quote Rowling "All is finally well in the world". I hope the success of this tournament doesn't make people forget the atrocities that Qatar pioneer and perpetuate. And finally, I second those saying that the World Cup should be played in the middle of the season. It makes for a better show having fit players.
  11. For those looking for a view, Bein Sports will be showing it live on their YouTube channel
  12. You know, I’m starting to think Argentina or France might win this. They’re the two best teams left.
