High xG doesn't = a goal either. That is the only thing you've got right so far. But rather than mock you for it, I'm just glad you're making some progress. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch games, think about them a bit and talk about them, I don't then spend hours working on/creating spreadsheets extrapolating numbers to reflect the game I watched, I wonder which approach is actually worthy of mockery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrokendoll 9244 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) both me heart and me head are with toonpack on this. I do however admire the fish's dogged persistence with his graphs and stuff, whatever it is they mean!

Meenzer 15547 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 The German-speaking Swiss nickname for their national team is the "Nati", which never fails to make me do a double-take 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13873 Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 I’m xG agnostic tbh but teams have won entire trophies off the back of having fuck all in the way of chances. Greece in 2004 would make an absolute mockery of it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameroon created one or two decent chances (1 in each half) and small poor chances, whereas Switzerland created 4-5 good chances (1 in first and 3-4 in the second). So, I'm not sure this is the gotcha you think it is? Even your initial post doesn't make a whole heap of sense. "Wow Cameroon creating some serious xG here" No, they weren't. Last round of games in the PL, the average xG for the winning side was 2.21, average for the losing side 1.08. "sucker punch incoming" Is it a sucker punch when the puncher has made better chances than the punchee? It's fine though, I'll drop this now and let you luddites labour away in your ignorance.

Ayatollah Hermione 13873 Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Peter Walton, in a shock move, agreed with the on-field ref after a shocking decision today.
