      It’s a shame you’re only allowed to have one on the pitch, otherwise we may actually have had a chance to qualify for EUROs.

      For some reason Poland has seemed to generate a disproportionate number of quality keepers for a number of years now. Especially when you compare it to some of the crap you see in other positions in the national team 😂

        Only as an exchange for anyone who can play football. Preferably center or left backs.
        God damn you Spain, why do you have so much of them!?

      This is true from the perspective of ‘performance of teams in European competitions in the last 5 years’ but there are other factors that impact the inclusion or exclusion of leagues in statistics. France is a top 5 league in revenue for example, which is a fairly good proxy to measure how many people follow the league and would therefore be interested in hearing stats about it.

      I personally would like all stats to include the top 7 leagues but it gets tiring to see people pretend not to understand why Ligue 1 is chosen as the 5th league ahead of Eredivisie or Primeira Liga.

    Am I the only one who thinks clean sheets are more of an indication of great defensive play rather than great goalkeeping ability?

      Ucl final of 2022 is probably the biggest example of how sometimes it’s the defence, sometimes the keeper single handedly and sometimes a combination of both

    forever peeved that Alison never makes these lists despite being one of the best keepers in the world.

    Worth mentioning Mat Ryan has 8 clean sheets in Eredivisie this season
