I really hate sports analytics that give win percentages. They're such BS. I'm watching the Vancouver vs. St Louis MLS match. AppleTV showed that Vancouver had ~54% chance of winning and ~22% chance of a draw. 12 minutes in and St Louis is up 2-0.
IKYK but Betting drives the numbers and the more people bet on the changing numbers, someone's getting rich. And it ain't the bettor. Bet shops on the front of the kit is a killer for me. #mastodonfc
Scorching temperatures in Kansas City take down assistant ref in Peru vs Canada #CopaAmerica game
"In a dramatic moment during Tuesday night's Copa America group stage match between Peru and Canada, an assistant referee collapsed on the field, highlighting the extreme weather conditions in Kansas City, Kansas.
As the 2024 Copa América continues, the grueling summer heat in various U.S. cities remains a significant factor, affecting both players and officials."
If you're a soccer fan in the U.S., this summer is going to be unreal.
Euros in the morning and afternoon, Copa America at night… then Olympics (USWNT and for the first time in ages USMNT) during the day, with Leagues Cup at night, plus MLS, NWSL, USL, all summer long.
