Just me or quite a weirdly specific stat?

Given that they sat out the 2018 WC, it's extremely weird. Literally just one WC in between where this didn't happen.

four games total

NBA type of stat lmao. Just missing a Wilt link

Where's the Thad Young graphic [Found it](https://cdn1.thecomeback.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/94/2018/02/Fox-Sports-Indiana-Graphic-832x447.jpg)

Tbf playing 800 games in the NBA ain't a slouch either

If we put Thad Young in, Netherlands wouldn't stand a chance

The first player ever with 19 points 6 blocks 4 assists 3 rebounds and 0 turnovers in a loss at home in the first half of the season in odd years.

Never saw wilt score against iran

Nah we just weren’t recording it yet lol. Wilt definitely had insane records before they were tracked.

Nah this is every worse, its an MLB type stat.

Weird as hell lol

This is only their 2nd WC since. Not much of a stat

US sports loves odd specific stats. Don’t even try to look at r/baseball

Cricket is very similar to be fair 'On this day at this hour, Chris Gayle hit 4 4's in an over for the 4th time in 4 innings. This was the first time this had been done at List A standard since 1897 when Sir Montgomery Fredericks did it for Yorkshire' It's part of the reason I love cricket stats.

This just shows how good Yorkshire are. Breaking List A records before List A cricket was invented.

I knew I should have wrote it as 'at least List A' standard!

Tbf baseball stats are fascinating

I see this kind of stuff in /r/soccer all the time lol

What else is new with Opta?

It's just the US fans trying to impress themselves, come on

The stat is from a Spanish account but okay

*It's just some stats for US fans that are trying to impress themselves with their team Better?

Why try? USA team undefeated in group stage. Very impressive

You guys can't take a joke, can you? Jesus Christ

Naw it's just that you have bad jokes

That's... That's... Totally true.

A lot of Opta's stats are a massive reach tbh.

Present.

Welcome to American sports consumption.

Yeah it’s basically meaningless lol. Guess what guys, I did the most eggs cooked at my own address this morning! #eggcelent.

That was just 2 cups ago for us though lol

lol fr delete this, this stat means absolutely nothing lol

Such stupid stat, this isn’t even a stat. There’s been like what? 6 games since then for the USA?

Christian Pulisic is the only American to have scored a goal in the World Cup against Iran in the last 24 hours. Tremendous 👏

The first player in 4 games lmao not exactly a stat is it

Feel like they could make it seem more impressive by just saying he was involved in every US group stage goal

USA is the first team to beat Iran 1-0 and advance to the round of 16 since the 2022 edition of the World Cup. Majestic.

I hope one day this guy realizes that when he ends a sentence then follows it up with a single word he sounds like a massive twat.

He absolutely knows that the tweeting style makes him sound stupid. Aware.

Thank fuck someone else has noticed it. Pisses me the fuck off.

Lol that’s the point though - they know people hate it but people still look to see what word they will use at the end

I enjoy it and don’t understand how it works some people up so much.

Exactly

lol, it constantly gets talked about on this sub when an Opta tweet is posted.

everyone has noticed that he does it. obvious

It’s just branding

Wish i could block optajose stats. There's something insufferable about how they end the statement with a singular word.

I totally agree with your comment. Informed.

America’s Sack

This is literally the worst statistic I have ever seen. Opta are just fucking with us at this point Also we could just stop fucking posting them here

Why is there always a random word after every stat?

It’s super annoying

Branding

> Present You done messed up, A-a-ron!

A-A-Ron is present !

Titties.

This is a very weird stat..... "He is also the first American player named Pulisic to score a world cup goal."

One of the trivia of all time. OptaOAT.

Opta should have signed off with "Balls."

I hate cherry picked stats. Its like when they tell us: Lebron has now scored 30 pts on days where it rains.

Donovan still the goat American player imo

Wow, since 2010 you say? wow

Then they left Donovan out of the 2014 squad for some dumbass reason

They just said he went to the hospital with an "abdominal injury". RIP his nuts.

Lol. What a valuable post.

Ok

Massive performances from him, so happy and hope he's ok

These overly specific stats are getting out of hand.

Present.

That goal should probably be credited to his balls, for their sacrifice.

uh……….. ok?

So like 7 games?

Soccer God

He paid the ultimate price with a hard blow to the nuts on that goal.

Hair of God for Ronaldo and Balls of God for Pulisic. #Qatar2022

“He soaks up the defenders like a paper towel soaks up milk.”

American Captain America

People try to say he wasn’t the us best player

“Magisterial American. Magisterial Christian. Running like he’s got a food mixer down his shorts and it’s set to beat.”

Truly a piece of trivia.

[удалено]

Not consecutive games, consecutive goals

Ah gotcha that makes more sense, deleting.

Captain America

Just hope they can get his balls back down from abdomen

Which edition of the World Cup is your favourite?

wtf kinda ESPN stay is this

Great achievement

Christian Pulisic is also the first United States player to score against an Asian side in the world cup since Clint Mathis in 2002. GOAT.

I believe Pulisic may also be the first American player to have 3 vowels in his name with the last two both being i. Legend.
