Analysis of Football Team Performance
I think, um, we get confused with, uh, w- uh, good
football and, and efficient football.
Mm.
Uh, they're boring. They're boring to watch for sure.
Uh, but boring is not bad. Boring is stable.
Mm-hmm.
They're like a steady diet of like the S&P 500.
They give you-
Yeah
... the 8% return every single time.
But we can't forget- We can't forget also that this team
was a penalty shootout
away from winning the Champions League.
Yeah.
100%.
And they never made us go, "Wow," but they al- they,
they almost won the Champions
League. Now, the other problem is they're handcuffed to this style of
play now.
Mm-hmm.
Troy just said it. They opened up, and they got found out again a little bit.
Little bit.
So now they have to close back up. If they went into a semifinal with Bayern
Munich, PSG, uh, Barcelona, and played their
game open, they lose 100%. They'll never beat those teams at
that game.
They can beat those teams at doing what they're doing now, and we may not
love it, right? Even some of the fans you talk to may not
love it.
Are they more consistent, do you think?
It's more con- It's steady. It's very-
Right
... steady Eddie. It's not exciting-
Per-
... but it's steady
... perfect example. Start playing against him at golf, right?
He doesn't, he doesn't whack it far-
Here we go. He wins his first match
... but he's always, but he's always- ... two in a row.
But he also- He's, he's de- he's straight down the middle,
and he's very rarely
gonna have a bad day.
That's when he puts his cigar down.
Yeah, he's gonna-
That's when it gets real, real sharp
... but do you know what I mean? You're very rarely gonna have a bad day.
So to beat him, you have to be really, really good.
I beat him twice in a row, but- ... we're not talking about that today.
But you have to be very, very good-
Uh
... to beat him, and that's the same with Arsenal.
Yeah.
If Arsenal, m- uh, 99% of the time they're bang at it.
They're eight and a half out of 10. They're always up there
