So if there are 1000 passes in a game and 600 are by one team it’s 60%-40%

Interesting 

Ought to break it down to territory. 

Zonal territory is so under rated as a stat. 

Passes in opposition half is more twlling

Mark Kinsella's daughter won an Olympic bronze medal in gymnastics for GB.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Brazil star Richarlison is :a science ambassador who has been prominent in raising awareness of Covid vaccines; donates 10% of his salary to help people undergoing cancer treatment; is strongly anti-Bolsonaro and has spoken out publicly against police killings. With many footballers, such as his team-mate Neymar, being widely characterised as venal self-serving thickos whom you could not like even if you’d reared them, it is as refreshing as it is surprising to discover an international player who has never forgotten where he came from, quietly gives money to good causes and has political integrity. Is Richarlison the new James McClean ?

There are loads of Richarlisons. Google any African players, so many of them give back to their communities.

There's a Polish player (Zielinksi maybe) who has set up a load of children's charities in Poland too.

AFAIK Richarlison is the only openly ant-Bolsonaro player in the squad, while quite a few prominent Brazilian footballer past and present are pro-Bolsonaro.

Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally sold out the Olympia and then had to put on 3 nights in the 3 arena which are almost all sold out. Bananas.
