They're making something for sports fans - they'll keep it as simple as possible.

Never seen you post in the football threads in other sports section before but in this WC you've been following all matches :hmmm:

I was surprised at such a graphic considering their team. AFAIK, they have complete data analytics unit. You are right :--D I have watched almost ALL games bar one or two. I actually watch almost ANY sport - tennis, football, cricket and F1 being the list. I "silently" follow the others but actively follow one sport - comment on it. No time for cricket, tennis, F1 now - football has gone up in the list. I played football for a long time too so that helps to switch.

Yes they do set high standards but this was a website only feature and was obviously aimed at fans who want a simple graphic instead of a complicated analysis. That may be the reason IMO. Same here. I also follow cricket,football, tennis and to a lesser extent, F1. Although I've followed less and less of cricket since Nov last year and F1 has also become less exiting since the recent rule changes and dominance of few teams. You've anyways gone silent from ICF - when you joined here, you started with a bang - opening 2 or 3 threads everyday and then slowed down to such an extent that you rarely post (apart from the WC or before that in the AAP thread) :--D
Sachin=GOD Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 They had to have a cooling break because it was too hot out there today. Just wait for the 2022 WC in Qatar - bang in the middle of summer!!!
