West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen has criticised the decision to overturn Callum Wilson’s goal against Arsenal on Sunday, questioning refereeing “consistency” at corners. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/726...

Incredibly harsh on WHU and have a lot of sympathy for them but there’s no doubt that was a very brave decision by VAR and the referee but ultimately feels like the right one. The irony isn’t lost on me though!

The Champions League semi-finals very rarely fail to deliver!

How it feels watching Arsenal in 2026

Taking some advice from @robsuddaby.bsky.social I created a pretty neat viz for my Poisson match prediction matrix to predict DR Congo vs Jamaica, similar to what I did for the game against New Caledonia. DR Congo heavily favored, but hoping Jamaica can pull off a shock!

There have been 1,179 long throws into the opposition box in Premier League games this season. Those have brought about just 24 goals - or one goal every 49 long throws. Matches are also being delayed for an average of 10 minutes, 42 seconds just for throw-ins to be taken.

We released our first article detailing our analysis of the first annual FIFA Women’s U-17 World Cup that took place in Morocco in October/November last year 👇🏻

When everyone says the top teams aren’t as good any more - maybe they aren’t quite as good (in part due to stylistic differences) but the incredible depth and quality of the so called mid-table clubs is the real reason. The PL is a SLOG

One of the most underrated sources of learning that I rarely see discussed in the Analytics space is the FIFA Training Center. Outside of public data, blogs, books, courses, and other, the Training Center is a massive resource for aspiring analysts.
