Jeff has been one of the biggest embracers of analytics into his writing, and the quality of his work is so much better for it.

Somebody will be getting a good one!

Some personal news: today is my final day at The Athletic, ending a 6+ year tenure on its staff.

Immensely fortunate to have covered this sport alongside some of the finest writers and editors in the industry. Will keep you posted as I figure out what’s next for my work!

Kieran is a dummy and didn’t include the key starters in the lineup projector.

60% is a JOKE

Expected Own Goals @xowngoals.com · 19d

These odds were based on a starting XI without Chawinga and Debinha in it.

Add them both in and the Current's Championship odds jump from 35% to 60%.

Our prediction model has them Current-ly at > 50% to make the final and 35% to win NWSL Championship.

That is frankly BONKERS in a single elimination playoff system.
