About Josh »

I'm a 20-year-old Madridista studying at an Ivy League university in the United States. I'm scientifically minded and try to apply a reasonable basis in facts and statistics to my analysis of football. I believe firmly in good sportsmanship both for the players and the fans and I strive to inject a bit of courtesy and gentility into the conversation, even though I myself sometimes get carried away. I'm always trying to improve my understanding of tactics so any help there is much appreciated.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Raul, Zidane, Xabi Alonso, Casillas, Paolo Maldini, Agüero, Albiol, Roberto Carlos, Ryan Giggs, Alfredo di Stéfano, Puskas, Gento, Rafael Nadal
Favorite Sports Teams

Real Madrid. On occasion Arsenal as well, as I was born near Highbury and figure I ought to support them.
Favorite Coaches

Fabio Capello, José Mourinho, Manuel Pellegrini, Vicente del Bosque
All Time Sports Moment

That one minute in the 06-07 season when Van Nistelrooy scored against Zaragoza and seconds later Tamudo scored against Barcelona to win Madrid the title.
Most Memorable Game Attended
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

5 straight European Cups/9 CLs/31 league titles (Madrid), Invincibles (Arsenal), undefeated season (Capello's Milan)...
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth, if this is a baseball question...
Unitas or Montana?

No clue who either of these people are.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan, I suppose. Never heard of Russell.
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzsky.
Pele or Maradona?

Neither are the greatest ever, as they both had either unimpressive or underwhelming club careers. If I had to choose, it'd be Pele.
Federer or Sampras?

Federer.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Is this a NASCAR question? Who cares?
Schumacher or Senna?

I don't watch racing.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Whichever one Wisconsin is in I guess. Big 10?
