💥 The Fulham Fan Dilemma: Chelsea or Brentford?

When Bleacher Report posed: "Chelsea or Brentford, which club do Fulham fans enjoy beating more?", it touched the dual identity of Fulham's modern rivalries:

Rivalry Dimension	Chelsea (SW6 Derby)	Brentford (West London Feud)
Distance	1.8 miles (King's Road)	4.5 miles (Brentford Community)
Emotional Stakes	Historic financial disparity, neighborly prestige	Climbing the divisions together, intense parity
Sweetest Victory	Silencing multimillion-pound stars at Stamford Bridge	Stoppage-time drama (e.g. Harry Wilson 92' & 97' brace)

📐 Tactical Set-Piece Physics In This Simulator

This simulator implements realistic ballistic motion including air drag, gravitational drop ($g = 9.81\text{ m/s}^2$), and the Magnus effect where spinning the ball creates transverse aerodynamic lift.

Defenders in the wall calculate jump timings based on strike elevation. The goalkeeper initiates a dive trajectory calculated from visual reaction time (0.16s to 0.42s latency) and reach envelope ($2.4\text{ m}$ reach).

Tweak your target aim, curl, and velocity to find the unstoppable sweet spot that leaves the keeper stranded!
