#15 against dead last #20. Two bad teams. Yet, every player on both sides can do things with a football that make normal people gape in awe. I watched the two minutes or so of highlights on ESPN and the difference between the players on these sides and those at the opposite end of the table is a matter of inches and of milliseconds. Newcastle had a break on goal. The Newcastle guy timed his shot well, shot it where it had to go, just out of the goalkeeper's reach to his right but it bounced off the post. A Newcastle fan right behind goal did a a-shot-rang-out-and-President-Kennedy's-head-slumped-onto-Mrs.-Kennedy. The Newcastle guy tried to get a second crack at the ball with a roundhouse left leg but—Good thing he wasn't fast enough!—the ball bounded right to the foot of a trailing Rook...who knocked it off the same post! Argh!
That's the difference right there. A Kun Aguero, a Mo Salah, wouldn't have missed the first shot and a Harry Kane or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wouldn't have missed the rebound. Those inches and those milliseconds are the difference between champagne and Coca-Cola.
