This always drives me crazy every time I watch a broadcast, but did anyone else notice the graphic where they were keeping track of individual touches for certain players? I don't know if they just pick out a couple of players to do it with or what? But it drives me nuts taht they don't publish those numbers. Also, they were keeping track of something they called, 'Chances Created.' I've noticed this 'Chances Created' on EPL broadcasts too. I really wonder how they're defining that?
They mention touches in MLS matches too, maxim. I occasionally ponder infiltrating Elias Sports Bureau and making off with hard drive after hard drive of information we had no idea existed.
Yeah exactly. 'Our friends at Elias Sports Bureau.' Screw that. I'm not knocking MLS for the Stats they keep and give to the public but you're right I see it on MLS broadcasts too. Wish to heck they'd make more public if they're being kept. Maybe just for the ESPN broadcasts, I dunno.
