If a child dribbles and loses the ball: “They’re greedy.” If they pass and lose it: “Unlucky.” Same outcome. Different reaction. There seems to be a moral bias against dribbling that we are determined to pass on to our children. @insidewrite1957 @JustcoachMD @JB_SoccerCoach @SessionShareNet @power_ray @BreakthruSoccer @TheS_Resource @nasthe3rd @ProAcademyDrill @ben_andreos

@JeremyChelot Really grim customer service experience. Left without any internet for over 60 hours and an unnecessary engineer visit, for what was so obviously a config issue, but weekend call centre weren’t interested. Huge wait times just be to told “Turn it off & on again”

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

@Footy_Predic @togga81 How about the other R16 games? Lots of Germany v Denmark I presume? Not many England v Slovakia (except me)?? 🤞🏻

That concludes the 1st round of group games and there has not been a single 2-0 scoreline yet, which is certainly unusual. Stats vs equivalent round of games in previous 4 Euros combined: GPG: 2.83 (2.15) WTN: 42% (55%) WBTS: 50% (23%) Score Draw: 8% (18%) No Score Draw: 0% (5%)

And STILL the wait for a 2-0 goes on after #TURGEO finishes 3-1, so it all comes down to 🇵🇹 v 🇨🇿 #PORCZE GPG: 2.82 ⬆️ WTN: 5 of 11 - 45% ⬇️ #Euro2024

Here we go - some #EURo2024 scoreline analysis so far… 6 games in and currently averaging 3.50 goals per game (GPG), which looks to be unsustainably high. GPG for round 1 of the group games for the last 4 Euros has been: 2021: 2.33 2016: 1.83 2012: 2.50 2008: 2.00

Did you know? 🤔 78% of open play goals so far at #EURO2024 have had the goalscoring team regain possession in their opponent's third. 💡 Coaching point: teams are 'securing the box' by surrounding the 18-yard area and closing space. This means they are ready to pounce. A clinical transition. 👏
