Y'know, the foul throw demonstration is good, but the people walking their dogs in the background makes it a solid 10/10.

Question: The last couple of years seem to underline that the best teams in the world (City, Liverpool, Bayern, Chelsea to an extent) have idealistic managers who play brave, attacking football with high pressing (Guardiola, Klopp, Tuchel, Nagelsmann, Flick, maybe Ten Haag) whereas the mid 2000s were dominated by pragmatic managers like Mourinho, Benitez and Ancelotti. Can you explain what or who the biggest factor(s) were for this evolution ? And since the aforementioned "pragmatic" managers seem to be on the decline, how can they bounce back ? Is it possible that in terms of tactics we could see the comeback of rigid, cautios, low-block defendig on the highest level (not teams like Burnley) ?

[@karimd88]

[@yupyupyup732]

Follow up! Does post match discussion also fuel this. Are we really seeing worse referreeing? Or a selection bias from stand out moments being analysed over and over and over again

[@AyeHumps]

this is the Eric Andre show meets football tactics and it's the only series on youtube i go out of the way to like every time, not sure how we got here but it's beautiful

[@economicerudite4924]

It’s something that bothers me basically because if a single match back in 2015. We were playing, at I’m a winger so I was on the side and would sometimes take throws. Didn’t have any linesmen so the opposition coach was doing the job. *EVERY SINGLE TIME* we took a throw the opposition coach would flag a foul throw and possession would go the other direction. Was complete BS. Especially seeing this video and realising they weren’t even foul throws.

[@Iam0ldGreg]

I never comment on KZbin but seeing JJ in a Pinegrove sweater just made my day!

[@ferrousallotrope]

Peak Tifo right here. I miss it.

[@mclark8857]

I know an Alex comment is already the top one, and so this one is likely to get lost in the mix, but I thought I'd offer him a little more appreciation, just in case he's feeling a little extra down some day I guess. After every one of his segments finish, I feel like I've forgotten I've been watching a youtube video, and am put into some kind of hypnotic trance where I don't feel like I'm taking in anything he's saying, yet his words are being unconsciously imprinted onto my mind forever. It's like he is a puppet master, and I am his mere marionette, yet in some weird twist he provides me with entertainment and top-quality football AND boat knowledge. top class.

[@skiptracerbob]

I really enjoy these videos, team Tifo IRL. So thanks for that.

[@AD-qy9yu]

Question: If a striker doesn't achieve his xg, is he bad?

[@karimd88]

Could be bad luck, but I think if you consistently don't match your xG you should probably try something else...

[@julius3428]

For one season: no. For more seasons: maybe, when he isn’t doing ridiculously well in other things apart scoring.

[@thraitor7819]

I mean depends but I guess getting a high xg shows ur doing something right lol

[@74kid]

Love this. I played up to semi professional level, mainly on the wing and the number of times refs would call foul throws against me and I was convinced I was doing nothing wrong.

[@zauls.]

If you make a t shirt with John McGinn as an actual meatball I would be all over that

[@Lamby494]

Thank you Tifo for making me laugh on my lunch break. If KZbin would let me like this video twice I would.

JJ doing a film noir voiceover about foul throws is the best thing ever.

I have to confess that I fell asleep on the final bit of the episode, so I heard some random duck noises in my sleep. With this in mind, I decided to rewatch this final part, and now I can finally say I still have no clue how you started talking about ducks...great job as always guys keep it up

[@yupyupyup732]

xG Question! I understand a shot's xg is calculated based on historical data - but how far does that extend? When we say a shot has a certain xG, does that factor in elements like the height of where the shot was taken, the speed in which the ball was traveling before the shot, how much the ball was spinning etc etc.

[@notKevinFeige]

Fun fact about throws, you cant be offside during one, there's this legendary goal scored by Ronaldinho where the throw was ocurring on the midfield, and he walked to the goalkeeper (they both played on the Seleção some years back) and asked to drink some of his water, the throw in was yeeted his way, he picked alone against the goalkeeper and scored

Question: May seem an odd question, but how do you analyse a football match while watching it? Things like seeing the tactics being used and what individual players are doing in a system? I really like the tactical side of the game but usually find that interpreting the tactics on my own, without someone explaining, quite difficult!

[@rikardplaystheguitar]

This is quickly becoming my favourite comedy show.

[@christopherreynolds9254]

I got penalised a few times for foul throws as a kid, and the ref could never explain why I fouled. I then started releasing the ball in front of my head (which was easier, and what I considered to be a foul) and never got pulled up on it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@kidkieran77]

Honestly, they never can explain why and then the reasoning they give is always arbitrary. I am glad the real rule is simple. Release the ball from both hands with the motion starting behind you head with both feet on the ground and behind the line. Simple.

Question: why is it that we often see a player be told "get up" by the referee after diving but very very rarely do we see players booked for it, even though "simulation" is a bookable offence? Especially now with the advent of VAR where we've often seen decisions overturned because they saw no contact when reviewing.

[@westoniser]

Question: Who is the most unique footballer/player who is least like anyone else in that position?

[@joncoish]

It always seems like there is huge disparity all throughout Europe between the top and bottom teams, and the gap just seems to get larger and larger as the top teams have more success. Is there any realistic way to reduce this disparity and bring equality to the teams so a team like Burnley might have a realistic chance to win the premier league, through salary caps, transfer restrictions, whatever? Or will it always be the same teams at the top?

[@kwanng8639]

First off, y'all are great! Keep up the good work. A couple of comments: 1. I decided to evaluate that Champions / Europa League Performance question slightly differently. Is it worth it for a team to finish 3rd in the UCL Group Stage and going to the UEL Knockout Stage instead of the UCL Knockout Stage? I looked at this briefly and based on some unconfirmed prize winning websites, it looks like if you can get to the UEL Finals, that would be financially better than losing in the first round of the UCL Group Stage (only including prize money, not additional revenue through tickets or broadcasting). However if you think you can win your UCL Round of 16 tie, then you should go for it, because entering the QF's seems equally as valuable as winning the UEL? Can you confirm this with your superior research and knowledge? 2. I love the idea of including the SPL into the EPL. Beyond just their predicted performance, I have a question. Can you show over the last 5 years how much money Rangers and Celtic (and others) have earned from Europe v. how much they would have earned for placing 17th in the EPL? Some way to assess guaranteed entry into Europe (UCL or UEL? Should that be set at UEL?) v. EPL increased broadcast revenue and such. Is it more or less?

When we say a team is underperfoming on xG we tend to say their luck will change - but in cases where that team is low on form, they probably also lack the belief and conviction that helps convert chances. So does xg reflect poor chance conversion or something bigger than just that?

Question: Why are more and more teams adopting a zonal marking with no men on either posts for defensive corners? Every time I see a corner scored it seems to be at either post where a defender would've easily cleared. So surely teams should just throw at least someone at the back post but they refuse.
