538 had better election predictions than just about anyone . 538 was the only one talking about the high uncertainty compared to previous elections . And on the Sanders thing , it was a 5 % chance , and if you predict a 5 % chance 20 times , then there ' s a real good chance to be wrong one of those times even when you ' re right . Literally the exception that proves the rule . <| sep |> He ' s the highest rated chess player in the world . But no you ' re probably right . He ' s just lucky . <| sep |> Scholes and Zidane are both overrated . Scholes at no point was even the best player for United , let alone the best midfielder in the world . Zidane was inconsistent on a weekly basis and even his big game influence is highly overstated . He disappeared in two CL finals for Juventus . Iniesta and Xavi are a tad underrated . They can both make a case for best midfielder of all time . IMO I rate then both on another different level to Scholes and Zidane . What they did with both Spain and Barcelona from 2008 to 2012 was nothing short of incredible . Yes , I think that both Xavi and Iniesta were clearly better than Zidane . Pirlo is also a bit underrated . From 2002 to 2007 he was the best CM in the world for a good half decade . In his 20 ' s , he also wasn ' t a lazy player like his reputation suggests , and his workrate was actually quite good . He also got snubbed big time for the 2006 World Cup Golden Ball . Xavi Iniesta Zidane Pirlo ScholesThat ' s how I rate them .
