If a serious question, I wonder if windy games do indeed noticeably favor teams that prefer to attack with the ball on the floor. Unfortunately, I think that there is probably a lack of descriptive enough match-day weather/wind data to compare against relevant passing data

I’m not 100% sure on this but I think it’s because it isn’t a 6 second rule. It’s up to the referees discretion. So it can change from game to game depending on the referee on how long the keeper can hold the ball

Because FIFA doesn't put a 1 size standard... Instead FIFA gives a range. Goal line must be between 45 to 90 meter, and touchline must be 90 to 120 meter. Why it's like that? Could be because of history....back then there's no 1 global standard, hence teams create field sizes different from each other... When time comes to create a global standard, they couldnt create 1 global standard because the teams' fields are restricted already due to stadium size, road size, etc.

Ag boots have noticeably less grip than Hg or Sg boots. I personally like Ag boots because one's feet isn't planted as solidly so if one gets tackled the boot slides instead of joints taking the force.

I've been studying different kinds of boots recently and the answer is yes, but it depends. If your playing on an elite level (Grass master) pitch, you'll need boots with a few more and different molded spikes to get the best traction. The same can not be said for a lower level pitch

@mss11235

I think the reason for it is simply how systems tend to operate. Like in Rocket League, if you have always just warmed-up with a fast paced, ground shooting training pack before a ranked play session, but someone suddenly tells you to start to instead warm-up with an aerial shooting training pack going forward, initially, for a time, you will likely retain those ground shot skills you had always routinely practiced, but you will also now be warmed up to another different but certainly important attacking skill, the aerial shots, that will serve you well when you queue up ranked.

Well known examples Xavi's barcelona, liverpool under jurgenn klopp, pep guardiola with manchester city. As I have noticed this trend from previous analytical videos done by JJ BULL.

I spent several years trying to become a slight of hand magician, so I would like to think that I could use these skills to become a reasonably adept pickpocket. I'm not the fastest but I am agile, and arguably on the busy, slaloming streets of London this is a more useful trait. I also have reasonable stamina so could outrun the Victorian coppers over a distance. I do however have asthma, and as Oliver Twist takes place in an industrial London one would have to assume it would be very smoky and thus my breathing would be significantly worse, which would probably affect my cardio. So overall I think modern me could have become an adept pickpocket, but if we're saying I have to myself adapt to the reality of the times, then I likely would have died of asthma before the cholera outbreak even hit. Poverty is also likely as I am from the North of England and am, therefore, common scum.

Hey long time fan, first time questionerer 🌬 Q: I recently watched a vid about winners of the rugby World Cup had a higher ‘team cohesion coefficient’ ie. The same players were picked in the 2 years before rwc, and higher proportion of players from fewer club/provincial teams. The specific example was the rise and fall of Australia. Does team cohesion have an impact on football World Cup winners? Is this why England always do rubbish? ie cos very few of the squad play together at club level, and lots of variability in team selection in the years running up to World Cup? More so than Germany, Spain, Brazil etc?

How have the rules around goalkeeper gloves evolved? I like to imagine there was once a goalkeeper who tried to use foam hands as gloves thinking it’d extend their reach but what are some real examples of goalkeepers using specialised gloves to try to get an edge?

I agree with your grass expert's brilliant analysis. I'd even go further and suggest the FA consider a rule change that expressly forbids a club to cut, trim, water, manicure, or otherwise alter the pitch in any material way after the first match of the season has been played. Only once the season has fully concluded will clubs be allowed to tend to their bush. This will obviously be incredible for the sport and mark a return to a more organic game last seen generations ago.

I remember in 2006 if I'm not mistaken, Mourinho instructed for Chelsea not to fix/maintain their field for a good few months, to a point the field was very muddy, all because Chelsea were drawn with Barcelona in the Champions League.

Question: Before 2010, every World cup final included one of Brazil, Germany, Italy and Argentina. Since 2010, only one final included any of these nations, and no nation has been in multiple finals. Is it fair to say that international football has become more competitive and less centralized, or are these just some statistical curioisities?

Three finals is not enough to come up with any kind of long term conclusion, statistically speaking. Especially when 2 out of 6 participants belong to the group you’ve highlighted. But in general, the last 30 years of tournament football can be summarized as 1) Spain and France ending their habitual underperformance and 2) the rise of Portugal, which missed every tournament between 1966 and 1986.

Question: how can we adjust progressive passes/progressive yards and other creative stats to where the player is located on the pitch? I always feel that the defenders and holding midfielders have a huge advantage in how many progressive stats they get

Its all about the nap of the grass. I was a groundsman at a top club. We change the nap to suite our game plan and train on it all week before a game. It is particularly advantageous in first 30 before other team adapts. Also open doors and windows at half time if wind is strong to effect pitch. Its all small margins.

Question prompted by the Håland at City video, I found it interesting that you showed how he would help break down a Burnley low block but given their struggles this season it made me wonder what the archetype of a mid table PL team actually is. Would be interesting to see some numbers on most common shapes and playing styles, and maybe building out the league’s most average team? Or in short, what does the most average PL team look like?

Good point raised by Alex Question: if football were a higher scoring game what measure other than discrete counts of ball crossing goal line within posts would work? A basketball style point system for goals based on distance to goal? A target score to reach instead of a time limit for each game? Day night football like test cricket where stamina comes into play more...

Question: Around this time of year it gets reported that ‘with a good preseason a player can be back to their best’. What impact can a pre season actually have on a players overall form? Especially considering that a ‘good’ preseason can only really be every other year with international tournaments for elite players.
