What are your weird feelings of soccer? [Part 2]

What are some feelings that you have about soccer (football) that aren't necessarily 100% true but they seem that way? I made a thread on this 6 months ago and it seems everyone had fun with it.

Part 1: http://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/2dzuzk/what_are_your_weird_feelings_of_soccer/

I'll start things off...

  • Solskjaer never once started a game of football. He was always a sub.
  • Teams who sign players from teams who have just got relegated end up getting relegated at the end of the season.
  • Rangers are second in the Scottish top flight, a couple of points behind Celtic.
  • Every left-footed player is considered a "technical specialist" or a "dead-ball specialist".
  • Barcelona's league schedule consists of about 8 Classicos and 30 games against Getafe.
  • Every Italian footballer plays at least 10 years longer than the average player.
  • Tim Krul and Brad Guzan always play better against your team, no matter who you support.
  • Defenders with long hair are less reliable.
  • Tim Cahill has been about 28 years old for about 10 years.
  • Tony Pulis has never won or lost a game in the Premier League, just a series of hard-fought 1-1 draws.
