Reply to comment by provencfg in [OC] Who receives the ball under direct pressure at the World Cup? by detalbruh

Does that give me any meaningful context? While I'm sure some of these guys are big names in popular soccer leagues, I doubt anyone is familiar with every soccer league globally and can put most of these names into a meaningful context.

You said it would!

I simply pointed out the one you probably do know out of these. But since you call it soccer I now know who I’m messing with.

You mean the original name from the British who invented the game as we know it today? Are you saying hearing a name gives meaningful context that would help me understand the information in this graph? Do you know more than 20 percent of the names represented?

I know literally all the names on the graph, and I would say any half committed football fan probably would. It’s not some amazing feet of memory, they’re all well known players at the top level.
