I love how data analysis and visualization are coming into football commentary, mainly via blogs like this. It makes a huge difference to how I've viewed the game over the years.

Unfortunately, the pundits they choose as TV analysts are typically not well versed in stats and probability, and often all you get from them is the experience of having played.

There was a thing about expected goals recently, where the TV expert dismissed it. I think it's a sensible thing to look at.
