<In European soccer, clubs are mapping the endless streams of passes and moves to determine which lead to goals>

This article is fascinating - I was aware of the conference but assumed it was Billy Bean type data...wow, it sound amazing.

I watch the English Premier League and the European Champions...and you can instinctively feel and see what plays are going to be most productive. I coach a team of high school girls and can also see what what patterns work better than others. But to be able to quantify it with real data...will be be a real advantage...but you have to assume the defense is doing the same thing in terms of how to defend against different patterns. This will be interesting to see how it evolves and is applied.
