After months of work, we're excited to debut something we're VERY excited about. Goals Added: A New Way to Measure Soccer! This is the first in a series of explainer articles we'll be releasing this week. So we hope you'll check this out and stay tuned!- We have two exciting articles today. First, @etmckinley's annual "State of MLS Analytics Tier List". More info here: americansocceranalysis.com/home/2023/5/1/… And, The 2023 MLS Analytics Survey, in which an anonymous survey was sent to the analytics staff of MLS clubs: americansocceranalysis.com/home/2023/5/1/…
- Shut it down, we figured out how goals get scored. Put the ball into the 18 yard box. By @JmooreQuakes @C_Carpenter14 americansocceranalysis.com/home/2021/3/11…
- We're delighted to announce our first annual NWSL Goals Added Team of the Season!
- We now have an R and Python library, it's called itscalledsoccer! Incredible work by @TylerRichardett & Brian Greenwood (with an assist from @CozmoLAGalaxy)
- This is the first article of what we are terming "The Replication Project", in which we take an important soccer analytics finding from yesteryear and see if it still holds up with modern data. First up, @etmckinley tackles @11tegen11's classic post:
- In the first article of the "Replication Project", we noticed that xG fails to be as predictive of future results in MLS as it is in Europe. Why is MLS such an outlier? Or is Europe the real outlier? by @SeanSteffen @TiotalFootball @etmckinley
- What happens when you combine your current love of soccer with your childhood love of Pokemon? @Thundering165 goes farther down this rabbit *ahem* I mean "Diglett" hole than any of us here at ASA expected.
- Ever wondered Where Goals Come From? By breaking soccer down to basics, @JmooreQuakes and @C_Carpenter14 have written a guide to provide clubs roadmap to success. americansocceranalysis.com/home/2021/7/10…
- Game's not played on a spreadsheet, m8. This is what happens when we let people who haven't played the game do analysis.
- We've taken another huge step forward in our coverage of American soccer. USL and NASL data is now available in our web app.
- G+ is good. Alejandro Pozuelo is good. So why don't they seem to like each other? @KierDoyle takes a look at why some seemingly very good players' G+ may be lower than we'd expect. americansocceranalysis.com/home/2021/1/4/…
- We made a computer watch 1,447 MLS games and then give us the optimal xG zone, and this is what it recommended if you want to score.
