@FiveThirtyEight Pretty big sample size error there. Not scoring in 10 games can be flukey and positionally could be different

wscaddie56 ‏@wscaddie56 May 23

@FiveThirtyEight scoring in mls has nothing to do with scoring in the world cup, false equivalence bud

John Kenney ‏@JohnbKenney May 23

@FiveThirtyEight that graph is visually very misleading, despite you clarifying that it's only 7 games into 2014.

@fivethirtyeight Donovan is not on form; but he is the player you make an exception for… Tweet from Kinsmanns son: https://twitter.com/nivo0o0/status/469748042963238913 …

@wscaddie56 @FiveThirtyEight True - as it's so much easier to score in World Cup games.

wscaddie56 ‏@wscaddie56 May 23

@elgallo7 Donovan has proven be can do it unlike the rest of these guys

Chandrima Chatterjee ‏@chandrimatweets May 23

@FiveThirtyEight not about scoring, how about assists and leadership on the field? You guys know better than to work stats on this.

~inevitable death~ ‏@zfurnas May 23

@FiveThirtyEight @DenisonBe yeah. consider throwing p values on things sometimes. I have no reason to believe this is statistically sig...

@wscaddie56 @FiveThirtyEight By that "reasoning" Pele should still be playing for Brasil - he's proven he can do it.

Kobe ‏@KobeOnTheRadio May 23

@FiveThirtyEight @NateSilver538 Basically this graph can be translated into 2 words.... Who Cares?

Bryan Maygers ‏@bmaygers May 23

@FiveThirtyEight @NateSilver538 lol at calling that trend line a "decline" after 7-game sample this season.

Christopher Dwyer ‏@dwyercd May 23

@FiveThirtyEight He's playing a much different role this year. w/Keane he doesn't need to be everything. Plus he's on the cusp of a record.

Igor Guryashkin ‏@IGuryashkin May 23

@FiveThirtyEight @NateSilver538 Thank you Nate. A whole host of my former ESPN colleagues disagreed. Glad we have more to back this up.

Doug Lemov ‏@Doug_Lemov May 23

@FiveThirtyEight Pretty small sample size, tho (7 gms). same # in '08? or possibly season avgs? lot of statistical work on soccer looks at

Doug Lemov ‏@Doug_Lemov May 23

@FiveThirtyEight how trends take time to even out due to rarity of goals, right? Not saying this is wrong just observing.

Rusten Hurd ‏@RustenHurd May 23

@FiveThirtyEight @NateSilver538 Absurd. I'm shocked Mr. Silver would allow something so obviously statistically ridiculous on his site.

Bob More ‏@Bobmorevc May 23

Should Pele still be Brazil's striker? Coaches should not leave decisions to the press or popular vote. @FiveThirtyEight @NateSilver538
