  • I think it’s mostly a consequence of measuring squads by total value. Ukraine have two goalkeepers valued at 25m, which obviously inflates their squad value relative to how strong their performances can be, because one of your 20m+ players is always on the bench. Also, and probably more importantly, the total squad value is very skewed by singular expensive players. Look no further than Norway, notoriously an unremarkable performer, but their squad value is over 500m because Ødegaard and Haaland are worth 110m and 180m respectively. Those two alone are worth more than the entire Japanese squad.

    It’s obvuously not a clear-cut indicator of performance.

    I am abroad and have lots of friends that won’t download WhatsApp, so I use Instagram to contact them. Also, a couple of family friends have reached out to me with news or something. It does have a niche for me as a messaging app like Facebook, even if the only reason I use it is simply because other people won’t not use it.
