Its no secret that countries use data. germany used it last world cup too. These guys are breaking down and analyzing live games as it occurs and making adjustments. Other teams have loads of analysts doing this. I mentioned this in the Germany game thread this past weekend. While its never foolproof, these little things give countries like Germany the edge over the course of a tournament.

Exactly, i saw a screenshot of an ipad that one of the Germany assistants flash on the screen. Also, in one of the press conferences or pre world cup shows i watched, someone revealed Germany or Spain had like 37 analysts or so doing live in game analysis and passing info, suggesting opponent weaknesses and where to target to the coaches on the sideline. We have a long way to go lol.

And that is the koko of the matter.

Even Opta collect their stats that way - A painstaking processes of observer analysts counting and recording different performance measures on software and relaying that live info to base.

See the set piece delivered by England yesterday. I am still traumatised by it's brilliance.

Anyway, it would appear that teams with enough opposition data will be better placed to win international tournaments in future.

If super eagles has better analyst they will study England corner kick /setpieces methods.

Yesterday they had 7 shots at goal , 6 scored.


who cares about possession

You speak as if England didn't have possession.

In the dying minutes of the game, possession matters little. All you are trying to do is contain.

What England had was a gameplan and options for different eventualities plus discipline.

We have a long way to go in the data analytics department

Its actually not that hard, but we like to treat Soccer as if its magic when simple analysis will do

Money, kit and bodies to do the analysis.

Does it even register on NFF's list of priorities?
