WC Quarter-Final Team Profiles

I was generating post-match reports since the beginning of the tournament. @FPL_Chase came up with the idea of compiling that data to map team profiles. With the help of two amazing people (@FPL_Jan and @FPLEchidna) we generated some reports.

For each team, a visualization of clustered progressive pass and carry paths is given. 'Progressive' refers to moves that increase chance of scoring a goal, measured by 'Expected Threat'. It is hard to generalize attacking patterns in a World Cup due to limited number of games.

We are providing raw data along with some comments. We listed top providers and receivers for each pass cluster, and top players for carry clusters. Numbers next to player names show the total Expected Threat generated in that cluster by the player.

No siempre se lleva los flashes, pero es un 9 que hace casi todo de 10. Acumula 7 goles en Mundiales en apenas 10 PJ. Está a solo 3 de Lineker, top scorer de #ENG en la cita máxima. Harry Kane, el líder más silencioso de #Qatar2022. ABRIMOS HILO. 👇

Nació el 28 de julio de 1993 en Walthamstow, Londres. De ascendencia irlandesa 🇮🇪 por su padre, pudo haber representado a ese país. Eligió #ENG. Hoy está a uno de alcanzar a Wayne Rooney como máximo goleador histórico de la selección.

En infantiles, a Kane lo dejaron libre de Arsenal por "gordito y poco atlético". Tuvo una prueba en Tottenham. No fue exitosa. Se incorporó a Watford. Impresionó vs. Tottenham. Volvió a probarse en los Spurs. Quedó. Primero jugó en el medio como contención y luego más ofensivo.

I tweeted this last night & wanted to explain how Maguire’s style of play (right foot) affected #Eng build ups.

I will go into more detail, but - in 1 tweet - Maguire doesn’t want to get trapped on his left, so he drops deep (more time to cut inside) which forces #eng deep.

https://twitter.com/talkintactics/status/1596242183031513091

Stones has the ball in this example. A square (ish) pass to Maguire & he can pass to Shaw before USA shuffle across the pitch. Shaw might then be able to find Mount (between the lines) or Sterling (1v1).

Because Maguire is deep,
USA can shuffle across b4 Shaw receives the ball.

This happened with most possessions.

Maguire passes to Stones (who is square to him). I understand he drops slightly but I don’t think he needs to drop this much.

A Stones pass to Maguire could enable HM to carry fwd or play quickly to Shaw.

Stones passes directly to Shaw.

There was some nice play in the build up to #England's opening goal but I thought I would highlight how one defensive decision (pressing) can impact the whole team. This is a nice example of that domino effect.

#ThreeLions #ENG #ENGIRA

Stones plays the ball across the pitch to Maguire. Iran's right sided Midfielder decides to press, detaching himself from the rest of his midfield.

This decision leads to England having a numerical advantage on their Left hand side & in the penalty area.

England momentarily have 3v2 on their left hand side and Maguire finds Mason Mount with a nice line breaking pass.

This overload forces Iran's defenders into a decision.

Tournament football is a strange beast. I’m no expert but I’ve been watching it long enough to know this much: 🧵 #ENGGER #England

1. Pre-tournament form, reputations and hype mean precisely fuck all once proceedings kick off. c.f. defending world champions France had the likes of Henry, Trezeguet and a (half fit) Zidane in 2002 - and they still went out without scoring a single goal.

2. Group stage form means jack shit too. How many times have we seen teams look like world beaters (cf the Dutch in Euro 2020) only to go out with a whimper in the knockout stages?

Did incidents of domestic violence go up after the #Eng women's team won their #WEURO2022 semi final against #Swe yesterday? i doubt it. So why do incidents of domestic violence go up when the #Eng men's team merely play--win, draw or lose, just play? #Lionesses

https://twitter.com/monaeltahawy/status/1552035391368314880

Researchers who analysed domestic violence figures from #Eng men's games in 3 World Cups found that when the men's team played, incidents of domestic abuse rose by:
- 38% when they lost
- 26% when they won or drew
feministgiant.com/p/essay-when-f…

Findings were used in campaign by UK’s National Centre for Domestic Violence in 2018 World Cup, w/ tagline, “If England gets beaten, so will she,” & extended to other nations, showing images of national flags imprinted onto women’s faces in blood

Will it be #Eng women who bring football home at the #WEURO2022 finals this weekend? I don’t know. But I can guess that when they play, incidents of domestic abuse will not increase as they do when England’s men team play. feministgiant.com/p/essay-when-f… #Lionessess

“If England gets beaten, so will she.”

Researchers from UK’s Lancaster University who analysed domestic violence figures from England’s men’s games in 2002, 2006 & 2010 World Cup found that incidents of domestic abuse were 11 percent higher the day after an England men’s match.

More alarmingly: incidents of domestic abuse rose by 38 percent when the England men’s team lost and increased by 26 percent where England men won or drew, compared with days when there was no England match. feministgiant.com/p/essay-when-f…

Not a good night for #Ramsdale!

The 4th goal summed it up!

-Engaged the 1v1 when it was 20yrd out & there was a CB covering making the finish far easier

-Using the smother technique rather than the spread technique making the chipped finish far more difficult to save

#ENGvHUN

My 1v1 model shows that engaging 1v1s at distances greater than 14yrds from goal just makes the finishes easier rather than harder

The best GKs (like #Alisson) often wait deep & lure the striker in & then engage the ball once they know they can snuff out the shot!

#ENG #ENGvHUN

https://twitter.com/jhdharrison1/status/1524130917723291649

My 1v1 model also finds the smother to be very vulnerable when the 1v1 is central as it often allows the GK to be rounded or chipped plus it does very little to cover the side the GK does not have their hands!

A spread wouldn’t drastically increased the Rambos save probability!

GET A GRIP

@docrussjackson

Twitter trolls know that racist/hateful content about a high profile event will be widely condemned online. But condemnation serves to further magnify the impact of these posts: positive message will be overshadowed by discussions of hateful/racist posts.

theconversation.com/euro-2020-coul…

What is surprising is that @Twitter allows the process to continue. There is no ambiguity about these outcomes, only variability in the scale. Twitter has archives of online firestorms in many contexts & is aware of the conditions, characteristics & outcomes of these occurrences.

Based on this knowledge, the rapid immediate cascades that result in the predictable cycle of hateful content and condemnation could be minimised using tools Twitter have already developed, such as prompting users to rethink their tweets that may include harmful language.

Reflections on last night: #eng #racism

We did an incredible job getting to the final, scenes not seen for a generation. A diverse team championing what England aspires to be, a progressive collective moving toward a shared goal. Each earning more than their keep.

I applaud each of them, but special mention must go to @BukayoSaka87 , @MarcusRashford, and @Sanchooo10 who have not only represented a community of people under duress from common people and elites alike, but shown that ascendence to greatness is individual.

Reading the words of @GarethSouthgate from earlier this year, it is clear that the @England team is very much forward-thinking in tackling #racism and he, himself, a great and empathetic leader, is forthright in tackling, against potential anger, this great cause.

Online abuse and content moderation is a niche topic and smart, nuanced reporting on it is difficult if you don’t know the space.

Here are some questions I’d be asking if If I was reporting on the abuse of #ENG players after last night’s game.

🧵

1. What training/support does England/the FA provide for players before/during the tournament to prepare for this scenario? Who can players contact in the England camp if they are abused (on or offline)?

2. What social media guidelines do players receive to mitigate such abuse? How often are they updated? And which orgs (eg @GlitchUK_) are feeding into them with best practice to ensure they are robust?

“Anyone behind such disgusting behavior is not welcome in following the team.”

England’s @FA said it was “appalled” by the racial abuse after the final

Manager Gareth Southgate said the England squad “did themselves proud” and that the missed penalties were “unfortunate”
