Don't stuck to the dices Tactician , I talk generally about luck and yes, luck playing a big part in football and not only.
maybe the only "sport" that has no luck is the chess - haha.

Many times even real football isn't realistic.

I mean, Atletico Madrid with Saul (who ???) gonna send Bayern out of CH.L. ?
or Leicester with Vardy (who ???) gonna win the championship ?
or when my country Greece, won the EURO 2004 against teams like :
Portugal of Figo, Deco and Ronaldo
Spain of Raul, Xavi and Casillas
France of Zidane, Henry, Vieira
Czechs of Ceh, Nedved, Baros
Germany of Ballack, Klose, Lahm
Netherlands of van Nistelrooy, Davids, Seedorf
England of Beckham, Gerrard, Scholes

and don't tell me about tactics (of Simeone or Ranieri). Every one is trying to play with the right tactics.
It's something else, like this Celho the writer is talking about the universe -haha
