#4 Football statisticians will have time to breathe again
Trending
"Hey there, come on. We have work to do."
"Again?" Came the exasperated reply.
"Yeah, yet another record has been broken – can't these guys give us at least a week worth of peace?"
"Who is it this time – Messi or Ronaldo?"
"Well, BOTH!"
If you have been employed as a football statistician/record keeper over the past decade, we football fans feel for you – we really do.
Messi and Ronaldo have made existing records obsolete almost on a weekly basis – most goals scored in La Liga (Messi) vs most goals scored in Champions League (Ronaldo); most goals scored in club competitions in a calendar year (Messi; 79 in 2012) vs most international goals in a calendar year (Ronaldo; 25 in 2013); Argentina's all-time top goal scorer vs Portugal's all-time top goalscorer; the list goes on and on.
When these two retire, perhaps a few football statisticians can retire as well – and finally get the time to go home and meet their family after years!
