The Long Memory

Spain were the best team at the World Cup, and it was not especially close. GoalPost's Team Power Rating still has Argentina first. I don't agree with it, and I'm publishing it anyway, because the reason it disagrees turns out to be four years old.

The Shape of the Week

Week of Oct 19

ADO Den Haag Stun PSV

ADO Den Haag beat PSV Eindhoven 2-1, a result GoalPost gave just a 6% chance before kickoff.

Brighton & Hove Albion are still getting more out of games than their play deserves: across 7 recent matches, they have finished about 1.8 goals a game better off than the chances they created and allowed would suggest. That usually rides on hot finishing or big goalkeeping, and it is hard to keep up. Since Wouter Vrancken replaced Derek McInnes, Heart of Midlothian have taken 0.73 points a game across 11 matches, down from 2.14 across 22 matches under the previous manager. That is about 14 fewer points every 10 games. Lyon are leaning more on interceptions, and less on tackles, to win the ball back: interceptions are 38% of their tackles and interceptions, up from 33% a week ago. River Plate are going the other way, with interceptions at 34% of their tackles and interceptions, down from 39% a week ago.
