The most unlucky shot: Ivan Perisic hits all three posts

If the professional football thing doesn’t work out for Ivan Perisic, he needn’t worry. The Croat has a bright future as a trick shot artist.

Let’s consider the odds: There’s a 1% chance of hitting the post, but he didn’t just hit one post, he hit one post to the other post. That, generously, is another 1% chance so we are down to a 0.01% chance. And then the third post, agains generously a 1% chance, is 0.001%. And that is very, very, very generous.

Now try to tell me Perisic isn’t the most talented footballer you’ve ever seen.
