i understand that. i reject that. that's complete stupidity/irrationality

the fact that some people (i'm not saying you, i'm talking generally about "europeans") consider this to be elevated thinking is the height of irony

this is similar to a quantitative analysis of soccer. i've seen you reject this as impossible, but that's pretty ignorant. any pattern/series of behaviors can be analyzed into numerical comparisons...yes including soccer (which is nothing more than a series of behavioral patterns in the end)

to summarize, i understand your point, but your point is ignorant, irrational, and an example of lower-level thinking

Man, you´re grasping.

From where comes the ´elevated thinking´ concept? From baseball´s proverbial left field?

No, the quantitative analysis suggested on this board referred to number of crosses, completed passes, etc. Mechanics, not behaviors.

Your oversimplification, and suggestion that a dynamic (as opposed to static) sport is solely the sum of behavioral patterns, needs ´fleshing out´. Please elaborate with detail.

Your hole deepens.

This is a grossly Humistic point of view. While we're at it, let's quantify all of human action into a system of numericals.

Sport is irrational. Accept it. It's founded upon human emotion and believe it or not, doesn't always make sense. Madrid has a culture that you have never, and probably will never, truly accept and appreciate. And that's fine.
