The bra things make me uncomfortable I'll admit. Sure seems they could do the same thing in a different form.
They will, it's just the thing we currently have. Rugby uses a little chip in a pouch on the back of the shirt. It's just what we have for now; I imagine the device will be whittled down to thread sized and fans would never know the difference. Super heartening to see how well respected and loved Wes is in that Juve clip.
7th appearance in the PL. A few more to go. Not to jinx them but I feel Leeds will survive somehow. The universe isn't so cruel to relegate 3 Yanks on 1 club. Surely, not.
Sort of curious why he went to Milan as opposed to going straight to Orlando like Aaronson, but he's clearly very well liked by his former teammates.
He probably was given an extra day off because he will not play versus Grenada but will play versus El Salvador.
Could be a physical before he goes on international duty, so there's no question whether an injury occurred while at Leeds or with the US. He's still a Juventus player, after all.
Does rugby collect full bio-metric data or just field position / distance traveled? My assumption re: the "bras" is that it allowed soccer teams to track heart rate in addition to distance / speed / positioning data from the GPS. Tracking cardio would probably help with "load management" during the course of a season, especially when a player is trying to regain match fitness after an absence. I used to wear a heart monitor while cycling, but they were straps you'd wear under your jersey and you'd have to be careful to keep the sensor right on top of your heart or you'd get inaccurate readings. I could see how the vertical motion of jumping / jostling with opponents could move that sensor around, so I assumed that the "bras" were designed to keep the sensors in place.
I have no idea what rugby does or doesn't collect. Point is, we're in the "cellphone the size of a brick" era of those types of monitors and one day soon they'll be so small they won't even be noticeable. It'll be interesting too, to see how to game changes as a result. I wonder too if coaches are able to see real time data and tweak the game plan accordingly.
I assume they are, I can't remember what match it was, but sometime in the last couple of weeks I caught a shot of the dugout where one of the assistants had a live-feed of the "birds-eye view" camera on a tablet... if they're allowed to use that during a match, I can't imagine FIFA is standing in the way of them using GPS tracking data / biometric data. I don't doubt that sensors will eventually get the point where they can be woven into the jersey's directly, but I think there's a few more design issues to get over (ex: where does the battery go, what sensors don't require additional parts [apparently in Rugby the trackers include accelerometers to track impact force from tackles], where does the wireless transmitter go, do woven sensors function correctly in rain, etc). I think it's a bit father off than we realize.
That is what I would say. It's possible he wanted to be there for the guys, but I don't think so. From some of the reporting I saw, It sounds like Wes wanted to leave Juve and he closed that chapter of his career.
Leeds United news as £34m Weston McKennie gentlemen's agreement' with Juventus 'revealed' That's a lot of words in quotes.
Is this more so that Weston will cost more than Leeds are willing to spend rather than simply he not being a great permanent addition?
Roma? https://www.chiesaditotti.com/2023/3/25/23656408/weston-mckennie-leeds-roma-transfer-juventus This brings us to today's rumor. According to the English outlet Give Me Sport, Roma could make a play for Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie. The 24-year-old American is no stranger to Roma fans, having played three seasons with Juventus as a rotational player, but his search to find more playing time abroad hasn't exactly gone according to plan.
In the article is an interesting view of his time at Leeds: "Sent on loan with Leeds this season, McKennie has barely seen the pitch, logging only 580 minutes in the Premiership." Was this written by ChatGPT or what? In the EPL he's started 6 games and subbed in 2. There have only been 8 games since he's transferred there. He's played every game.
Seems fishy to me. Why would Juve agree to on optional purchase price on a 6 month loan to a team that may get relegated? Best case scenario, he balls out and Leeds get relegated leading to a bidding war (so far, not happening). Worst case scenario, he doesn't make the grade at Leeds and they get relegated (not happening either). So as things stand, Leeds beats the drop and Wes probably comes back to Juve with a lower price and less time before his contract expires. Not coming after y'all, more at the article(s).
A lot of sports articles are written by/with the help of AI programs. And not even as sophisticated as ChatGPT.
