Reposted by Nate KrackelerAinsw0rth @ainsw0rth.bsky.social · 14/08/2026This analysis is excellent, with some interesting data points for the sharp-eyed DC fan. Chatted with Nate a bit. Seems pretty clear that DC has been working on corners as the season goes on. Also pretty clear that Barlett is consistently dangerous, if we can get him better service. 011
Reposted by Nate KrackelerArman Kafai @armankafai.bsky.social · 13/08/2026This is some absolute great analysis from Nate, who’s been cranking out some good content lately. The point of contact zones was super interesting to me; how close are teams contacting the ball in relation to the goal (which seems trainable). Highly recommend the read 092
