to answer the question, the next great chart to change the world will surely be a Tinder Sankey

this is outstanding and very useful in healthcare and rural population outcome analysis. wondering if you could produce this for Maryland.

nothing novel here in terms of Sankey presentation, but this would read better had it been done in $B

So many flaws in this argument. He'd be ranked 4th overall, not joint, based on number of assists. Also the stat isn't # of goals through the Round of 16, it's total. His efforts helped his team advance for more opportunities to score. It's also more difficult to score in later knockout stage matches as the caliber of team played is increased.

I just can't get behind this argument. 2022: Portugal faced no top 10 teams and was knocked out by 22nd ranked Morocco; Argentina defeated 2 top 10 teams and won. 2018: Portugal knocked out by 17th ranked Uruguay; Argentina knocked out by 7th ranked and eventual champions France. 2014: Portugal did not advance out of Group including a 4-0 loss to eventual champions Germany; Argentina advanced to the Finals losing to Germany 1-0 after extra time. In the two prior Cups they both fell to top European sides in Knockout play.

Messi scored 4 PKs, 3 run of play goals, and 3 assists. Ronaldo scored 1 PK.

actually, if PKs didn't count, Messi still had 3 goals plus 3 assists, which would have placed him 4th (instead of 2nd). that is most certainly still "near the top".
