Just the facts, ma'm. Or sir.

Agreed, if you read the book “inverting the pyramid: history of soccer tactics” Brazil’s 4-2-4 in 58 WC inspired most to play 4 back, and Soviets started to play 4-4-2 as early as mid 60’s

Are these betting odds at the start of the tournament or at kickoff?

It is an F'ING TRAVESTY that the US antitrust arm allowed that to happen.

I am extremely surprised to see aircraft rent be so low!

Dude. What are you even arguing? The title is “were there too many sensations in Qatar”. As a comment on that, I wrote that sensation is probably wrong and upset instead is the right word. Then you answer me with “we call it underdog” and continue to argue me about it. Do you want it to say “were there too many underdogs in Qatar”? Because that doesn’t make sense. So what I have been telling you is: UNDERDOG and UPSET are two DIFFERENT THINGS! Sensations and upsets are synonyms (but upset is the better word) sensations and underdogs are NOT. That’s all I’m saying. What have you been saying?

He bet on the underdog every single time. And the payout on those odds eclipsed the fact that he lost more bets then her won. Your are so dense

The early 60s was when the back 4 became prevalent as a tactic, rather than the wm or variations thereof, so my suspicion is that's driven the change, but I might be forgetting another factor

That is what I said, you didn’t understand me. I said, with other words: when there’s an upset it means that an underdog has won. So an upset and an underdog isn’t the same word. Your original comment, while it is interesting to add the word underdog into the mix, isn’t too relevant because underdog is not equal to an upset. An underdog can exist, and lose. That’s obviously what happens most of the time. Then there isn’t an upset.

No. He's betting on the one with worse odds to win. That's the underdog

I like your y axis, why did you choose a grey background?

What was it that dropped it from 4 to 3 starting in the 1960s? A rule change or an innovation in defense strategy?

It's fascinating. I have no idea what each of the teams are or know anything about American Football at that, but it really is interesting to see all the movement

What is the name of a chart with the days of the month/week and colors from less saturated to more saturated

Wallethub is not a credible source and one year is not a trend.

Forbes is a credible right leaning source, notice all the blue states in the top ranking and red states on the bottom.

Minnesota top 7, most years top 3.

You can look at results for decades, Minnesota’s education system has been better for decades. Blue states education has been better. And the workers that come out of schools in blue states have been more productive and better educated workers as well.

For decades. Decades, not just one year.
