49:30 - the xG battle in the regular season between Gotham and the Spirit was determined 1) in April when Gotham rolled out a lineup with Katie Stengel and Cassie Miller starting with injuries all throughout their lineup and their first look at Bethune in the league and 2) in June when Gotham were on the back end of a 3 games in 7 days run against a fully rested and waiting Washington with the game being played in 100 degree heat and a 45th minute red card for Yaz Ryan for coming back onto the field without permission. those games mean very little this weekend to me. should be great games. great show.
Another good episode :) Just one very negligible correction: Ewa Pajor left Wolfsburg for Barcelona, not Bayern. I guess you got it mixed up with Oberdorf, who left Wolfsburg for Bayern. MVP, rookie, and goalkeeper of the year are pretty much set in stone at this point, fully agree with your takes. I always wonder what KCC would look like without Chawinga. They should hope she never gets injured. I think one thing when talking about goalkeepers that often gets a bit neglected is their ability to actively stop shots even getting to their goal. So I think % of crosses stopped or #OPA (this, of course, also depends on the playing style of the team) are two other very important metrics. According to Fbref, Berger is also leading in those two measures, which just further confirms her being the best keeper in my (and your) eyes. The % in stopped crosses is actually world leading in the last 365 days, according to Fbref. She has the height and actually uses it to her advantage in contrast to, for example, Murphy or Lund, who are actually taller but are kinda really bad at claiming high balls. Just my two cents :) Greetings from a future patreon
Could you guys do a whole analysis on spain at the olympics? I want to understand what the coach was trying to do
You guys are very harsh on Girma. They suffered & won. That is all that matters.
Good video lol
