Box score?

quote:

If we could include only one data point in our box score, xG would be it because it comes closest to describing the main thing that every manager cares about come the end of the match: Did we create better chances than our opponent? It's the most descriptive single data point that we currently have for the sport.

I can think of a better one

Shut up DUMMY
Guys, I got it, let's give a point to whoever has the highest xG team in a match a point. So say you win the game, you get 3 points, well you also had highest xG? 4 points! Say it's a draw, one team will get two points from their higher xG. So say you're City and lose to Forest 1-0 but have higher xG, you still get 1 point!

Let's start rewarding the team that tries to put the ball in the back of the net more!

Genius!

Yeah but that just means loving Charles is the king now. Ideally Charles would have croaked, William would have done something really stupid, and English royalists would have had to deal with Harry on the throne with a black woman as the queen.

It turns out that when you don't have any real competition you get to just stop giving a poo poo.

There was also that one old FIFA game - FIFA 95 or 96 - where the ref would go to give you a card and you could run away from him and make him chase you all over the pitch. I think that was the same one that had the "flying/bonecrunching tackle" button.

Three Lions from 1998 was the last good football game because you could elbow the opposition and because there was a player on Pakistan’s national team named Rakshit and he was included in the game, which my brothers and I found hilarious.
