    This tool has got my nerd brain very excited. Love that we can see the moments of a game in a completely different perspective, very cool. It’s seemingly added their head movements as well, looks like all their animation is captured really accurately. I wonder if someone’s gone into a program to animate it or if it’s driven by some sort of Ai.

      Heck, they’re a simple licensing agreement away from having the player’s likeness rendered onto those department store mannequins and we can watch a version of the game from anywhere in the stadium. Pretty damn cool.

      Similarly, the NFL broadcast a game a few weeks ago, but re-rendered live in a Toy Story theme, for kids. It had some bugs - the ball got lost a couple times and some players occasionally went haywire when everyone got bunched up, but it was pretty interesting to see.

      If they’re not using AI for this, they’re idiots. This is exactly the sort of thing AI does far better than humans and in a fraction of the time. Probably uses a couple of angles and just infers any missing info.

    Sky proving with MNF they can do high quality analysis that educates and provides insight. So why tf am I putting up with a pantomine for every other matchday??

    Sanchez made a huge mistake but it also required Rice to hit it perfectly 1st time. Kind of like KDB’s goal against us last season- Tomi fucked up but there was really good execution from KDB to turn it into a goal.

      Bingo, you can even see Declan jump in to win it with that extra sprint and no other contact, just boom- had it fully in mind

    And yet, people say that we are lucky. Yes and no answer really. Chelsea had their chances to be even 3 or 4 nil up.

    Rice is elite. We’re much more solid with him in the team. Need to work out his partners though because Havertz is no where near the level of Xhaka from last season as an 8. It’s a gaping hole in the team with a bunch of players we’d all like to see fill it but none of them are up to standard right now.

      I saw the curve of the shot from above, and to do that on a first touch is simply marvellous technique. I didn’t know he’d be this good in offense.
