Podcasts about soccer analytics

The rapid evolution of soccer analytics was both influenced and driven by a group of Americans. From the emergence of sabermetrics in baseball, and it's popularization in the book "Moneyball," to the growth of the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, the application of mathematical models to various sports has been a passion of many in the United States. Soccer falls into that category as well. While the discipline started in England, many of the most influential minds in the space have been based in the US. Ravi Ramineni is one such individual. The one-time Microsoft employee was both a computer engineer and soccer fan, who hoped to turn his passion into a profession.He started by created a fan blog. But, a series of events directed him to soccer analytics and helped him turn it into a career. Ramineni spent nine years with the Seattle Sounders of Major League Soccer building best practices for the team and league's approach to harvesting data and using it for player analysis -- first focusing on development and then later recruiting.Ramineni joined Founding Futbol to share his path to working in soccer. From meeting his wide, fellow soccer analytics pioneer Sarah Rudd, to attending Sloan, to connecting with the Sounder, he walks through key moments in his career.Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America.Visit our website for more information: ⁠FoundingFutbol.com.

The impact of analytics in soccer can be seen in the decline of long-range shots.Collaboration and trust between analysts and decision-makers are crucial for successful implementation of analytics.The limitations of available data in football analytics hinder the ability to directly measure decision-making on the field. Analyzing the impact of coaches in sports analytics is challenging due to the difficulty of separating their effect from other factors. Current data limitations make it hard to evaluate coaching performance accurately.Predictive metrics and modeling play a crucial role in soccer analytics, especially in predicting the career progression of young players.Improving tracking data and expanding its availability will be a significant focus in the future of soccer analytics.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Ravi and His Role at Seattle Sounders 06:30 Building an Analytics Department15:00 The Impact of Analytics on Player Recruitment and Performance 28:00 Challenges and Innovations in Soccer Analytics 42:00 Player Health, Injury Prevention, and Training 55:00 The Evolution of Data-Driven Strategies01:10:00 Future of Analytics in SportsThank you to my Patrons for making this episode possible!Yusuke Saito, Avi Bryant, Ero Carrera, Giuliano Cruz, Tim Gasser, James Wade, Tradd Salvo, William Benton, James Ahloy, Robin Taylor,, Chad Scherrer, Zwelithini Tunyiswa, Bertrand Wilden, James Thompson,

As we near the start of the 2024-25 season, Mitch and Grant return to look at the transfer activity of the English Premier League's "big six" clubs so far. Man Utd have been very active, whilst Chelsea have acquired 10 more players for their oversized squad. Man City and Liverpool are keeping their powder dry but may have a big signing or two up their sleeves before the window closes.    Ahead of a full betting preview of Round One later this week, we look at who has strengthened their starting XI, which clubs have simply added quantity over quality, and the duo make some predictions over who else could be set to join the top clubs.

1. General Transfer Market Review Very busy window Players coming from all over the world - Ghana, Brazil, Venezuela etc Players transferring to all over the world - Morocco, Romania, Israel etc No big squad overhauls like last season - releasing players (AmaZulu, Kaizer Chiefs, Sekhukhune Utd) Kennedy Mweene (Sundowns) retiring? Won literally everything in South Africa with Sundowns Continental champions for club & country 5 times in league match day squad last season - no appearances   2. Lot's of coaching changes as well. 6 teams already have a coaching change - 2 more changes will see half the league make coaching changes How does a coach (Pablo Franco Martin - AmaZulu) adopt to a new league - ambitious club like AmaZulu? How does that affect an old player/new player? What formation does a coach prefer? Can a player play in that formation? Some coaching travel with their pieces Signings are like a jigsaw puzzle Individual pieces must fit together and the system works   3. A trend - the popularity of wide-forwards. The PSL's big three teams Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns have all invested differently this off-season, but one area they all doubled up on is wide attackers. Coincidence or tactical evolution? Lesiba Nku & Junior Mendieta at Sundowns Pule Mmodi & Tebogo Potsane at Chiefs Katelgo Oltadisa & Patrick Maswanganyi at Pirates   What do they bring? Types of wide player Unlockers - Mmodi / Otladisa / Mount, Neymar Wide goal threat - Saleng, Mendieta / Salah, Mbappe Outlet - Saleng, Mendieta / Grealish, Sancho + other metrics on a wide-attacker radar...   4. What could that mean tactically? General trend has been Less 4-4-2, more 4-3-3, and other formations Advantages & disadvantages of 2 & 3-man mids. Moremidfielders=retain&advancepossession Moremidfielders=lessdefenders? CF must be able to hold up play without a strike partner (and partner with wide players). Moregoalsfromotherpartsofthefield? WhattypeofpassesshouldbeplayedtoCF(flatpasses=morecontrol) Will we see more goalkeepers play out from the back (instead of hoofing to a target man who loses the ball immediately) Lesslongballsasameansofballprogression(Sundownsontheup?) Touchlinehuggers(ononeorbothsides?)

Have you watched the series « The English Game », on Netflix? Well, I think you should — it’s a fascinating dive into how football went from an aristocratic to a popular sport in the late 19th century England. Today it is so popular that it became a valuable business to do statistics on the game and its players! To talk about that, I invited Kevin Minkus on the show — he’s a data scientist and soccer fan living in Philadelphia. Kevin’s currently working at Monetate on ecommerce problems, and prior to Monetate he worked on property and casualty insurance pricing. He spends a lot of his spare time working on problems in football analytics and is a contributor at American Soccer Analysis, a website and podcast dedicated to… football made or played in the US (or “soccer”, as they say over there). Kevin is responsible for some of their data management and devops, and he recently wrote a guide to football analytics for the Major League Soccer’s website, entitled « Soccer Analytics 101 ». To be honest, I had a great time talking for one hour about two of my passions — football and stats! Soooo, maybe 2020 isn’t that bad after all… Ow, and beyond football, Kevin is also into the digital humanities, web development, 3D animation, machine learning, and… the bassoon!

MMPod hosts Gabe Lezra and worst account on football twitter-nominee Om Arvind were on the Let’s Fix Football Podcast on Ballon d’Order this week to talk about The Financial Times’ article about Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo gamble (from a financial angle).  Juventus is banking on a massive increase not just in their own publicity but in Serie A’s publicity and ability to market itself internationally--but how smart is that gamble? Is the “Cristiano Ronaldo effect” as pronounced as they think—and even if it is, can Juve take full advantage? Also, FIFA dropped some new potential rules. They’re weird. They’re also really important.

On this episode of the Union Pitchside Podcast, we take a deep dive into innovative ideas in soccer. Our big interview is with Harrison Crow of AmericanSoccerAnalysis.com. Harrison and his colleagues have been trailblazers in statistical analysis of Major League Soccer, and he tells us about how Ale Bedoya was a surprise pick for his personal All-Star team. We also get into why it's difficult to analyze defenders and more interesting Union numbers. Our opening and closing segments try to address listener questions about how the Union identify talent.
