31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

Continuing the tradition, I have compiled an end-of-year overview of the soccer analytics content that I liked the most in the past year. The 2024 edition includes pointers to over 160 resources, including research papers, blog posts, articles, podcasts, and books. janvanhaaren.be/posts/soccer...

Russian machine broke. ☹️

Now in 20th NHL season, Alex Ovechkin has missed total of 59 games. The breakdown: 15 injury absences (35 games) 6 suspensions (10 games) 3 personal (7 games) 3 illness (6 games, all COVID) 1 scratch (1 game, regular season finale of 15-16) Caps are 26-28-5 without him but 4-13-0 in last 17 w/o him

If I'd known all it would take for the Liga MX regulars to join was to threaten to cover it myself, I'd have done so a year ago. 😂 #ligamxeng

I don't think I have a favorite game chart, but I love looking at the collection to piece together what happened.

Time for the @bsky.app community to see one of my favorite visualizations of climate change... "Shifting Distribution of Land Temperature Anomalies" by svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5211/ ⚒️🧪

Washington is #notbad. The contrast between GF and xGF for their power play is interesting.

Have I mentioned I'm a Chivas fan? Their season is a great example of how coaches really do matter. Gago left mid season to coach Boca Juniors and Chivas have not looked the same since.

Chivas-Atlas and Tijuana -America are scheduled for November 21. The Tijuana-America winner qualifies directly to the liguilla. The loser faces the winner of Chivas-Atlas for the last spot in the liguilla.

The Liga MX final regular standings are set for the Apertura 2024 season. Next up, the play-in round where the 7th-10th teams play a single game to determine which teams take the last two spots in the eight team liguilla. Tijuana (7th) vs America (8th) Guadalajara (9th) vs Atlas (10th) 1/2

There doesn't seem to be much on Liga MX on here so maybe I'll comment here and there as a way to reenage. I will say @golazodelgringo.bsky.social has been covering Liga MX Femenil on Bluesky for a long time. Since I'm a casual fan he is how I keep track of the league. #ligaMX

The Jets finishing is preposterous this season. For a single player to do this over fifteen games is striking, for an entire team is ???

Best Connor Mc in the league #ALLCAPS

Almost a year on here. I check it almost every day, but surprisingly haven't engaged otherwise. Weird.

If you joined Bluesky during the Beta, congratulations, you are now officially a Bluesky Elder! You will be assigned a rocking chair, a single cloud to shake a fist at, and a Chesty Gandalf Action Figure and/or Orca pool floatee while supplies last. Enjoy your new, completely inconsequential status!

@golazodelgringo.bsky.social Is there anyone else on here who covers/comments on LigaMX? I'm looking for a low-key change in scenery, but this seems quieter on LigaMX than even I expected. Sorry about the follow/unfollow notifications you've probably been getting from me.

I gravitate towards lurking, but I might as well dive in here. I'm not sure how I'll use this account yet. Right now I'm looking for a place to follow, maybe even interact with, accounts I like elsewhere so I can minimize time on the other site(s).
