American Soccer Analysis is a new weekly podcast that covers Major League Soccer and the US Men's National Team from a numbers perspective. Hosts Harrison Crow, Matthias Kullowatz, and Drew Olsen believe that soccer is best understood not by fat old men in smoky rooms, but by fat young men staring at Excel spreadsheets. The guys bring an enthusiasm, statistical acumen, and deep understanding of the game that can be rivaled only by the likes of Gus Johnson, Simon Borg, and John Harkes.

    NWSL Week 10: Destiny's Children? (H-Town Screwed Mix)

    Week 10! Two teams. Two massive victories. Two bright futures ahead? Eric and Evan ponder the meaning of Houston's staggering 3-0 home win over North Carolina and examine the implications of Racing Louisville's 1-0 away result in Chicago. H-town madness? Kentucky fried conquest? We're curious too.

    NWSL Week 9: The Utah Royals Stare into the Void

    Another week, another brutal Utah Royals loss. Though the scoreline was a mere 1-0 defeat on the road to the North Carolina Courage, the expansion side was under siege pretty much from minute one. Eric and Evan use the Royals' performance to figure out just how badly the season has gone for the club, and what bright spots may be on the horizon.

    EXPECTED OWN GOALS: NWSL Vibe Check, Pt. I -- xOG's Biggest Own Goals of the Season!

    We here at Expected Own Goals are about transparency and accountability. That's why, at the point in the season when xG stabilizes and becomes sticky, we've decided to go back and cop to our best and worst own goals from our preseason predictions. Kieran's back to face the music along with Eric and Evan. 

    Be sure to tune in later this week for Part II, where the gang digs into the players that have surprised and disappointed them the most!

UPDATE WEBSITE SOONER

These guys have excellent analysis, excellent statistics, excellent blog posts but fail to update the statistics on their website in a timely manner after games. Other stat-based sites for various sports have their stats updated within a day or 2 after any given game. ASA takes several days and sometimes does not have previous games’ stats posted prior to new games being played several days later. Otherwise, there’s no better MLS analysis out there.

Great stats based MLS podcast!

The folks at ASA really know their Soccer and back up everything they say with hard numbers!

JohnnyStrife ,
