Huge loss for the league but I think Nancy will do well there. I spoke to @footballtalentreports.co.uk about how his tactics might fit at Celtic on The Celtic Underground pod last week:

As for LAFC, you can't help but be drawn into the way that Denis Bouanga and Heung-Min Son use their dribbling ability on the counter-attack. Just look at these attacking carries...

I've learned/read so much about ATproto on leaflet, but I've also found some really cool creative blogs that I wouldn't have discovered elsewhere. Stuff like this is awesome (and it's admittedly cool to see my blog featured in the group) ⬇️

Used the article to show off some cool new stuff happening in soccer data. Shout out @hvanbrewer.bsky.social for SkillCorner's off-ball metrics, @alexanderschram.bsky.social for Gradient's physical data and @catabush.com for making this plot from American Soccer Analysis's advanced stats.

Sergio Busquets is old and slow. By next month he'll be retired. So how is he still so central to one of the best teams in MLS?
Wrote for The Guardian about trying to measure a famously invisible kind of greatness.

As his career ends in MLS, Sergio Busquets’ small decisions remain perfect
The Spaniard’s style of possession football is not easily defined by stats and data. We tried to do so anyway

On the @bteampodcast.bsky.social ep that came out this morning, I described KC's season as "when you eat too much of something sweet and your mouth goes numb". The Current put together the best season in NWSL history. It's easy to be numb to that, but you have to give credit where credit is due.
Honestly, there are good arguments for all three finalists, but the Current were brain-melting in the regular season and beat their projections by 20 points, so we tip our cap to Vlatko.
