coming into this game, my new team ratings system (tktk) had Sunderland as the fourth best defensive team in the league over eight matches
which seemed pretty ridiculous and I was like ehhhhhhhhh weird small sample even if they're pretty good
today they looked every bit a plus PL defense

The data contains 10 full games of tracking data (at 10fps), SkillCorner's dynamic events and phases of play for those 10 games, and physical aggregate data for midfielders in 175 games. I think that's about as different as it can get, but I might be biased.

We’re obviously set pieces pilled @thetransferflow.bsky.social (Ted is an industry leader and his teachings helped build my career), but it’s hard to ignore that set pieces could really be the difference between the Netherlands ducking out in the RO16 or QFs and challenging as a top 4 team 🇳🇱

I would love a perspective on how well Watkins/Rogers/Malen have done for their national teams this break and why it hasn’t seemed to click at Villa yet this season

Messi is the only MLS player to get to 40 non-penalty, direct goal contributions in a season.
Vela in 2019 had 38 (27 non penalty goals & 11 direct assists)
Messi 2025 has 41 (26 non Penalty goals & 15 direct assists). He's done this in 6 less games than Vela.

Neel and Patrick flagged them as one of THE teams to keep an eye on. I said the same as a UCL dark horse.
Kim does some analysis on how they’ve progressed after major sales. Defense still coming together but their games have had the most goals in the Bundesliga, more than Bayern’s!

Ekitike and Marmoush were big losses, but Frankfurt's attack hasn't dropped off at all.
The two youngsters replacing their production are must-watch talents.
