2008-06-08T19:08:29+00:00

Soccer Orb's resident statistician, Steve, shared an interesting bit of research with us a couple of days ago (See Premiership Ratings: Biggest Bang for the Buck from June 6). I'm going to swim into some dangerous waters and interpret his findings with my quasi-layperson's eyes. His model was simple, but very revealing.

2008-06-08T12:06:49+00:00

Just to stray off-topic for a while... Who are you going for in the Euro 2008? Why? Me? I'm half-Dutch, so I am hoping to see Oranje lift the trophy. They had a good run in qualification, but are now faced with the hardest group in the cup: Group C, with Italy, France and Romania. Things are [...]

Premiership Ratings: Biggest Bang for the Buck

2008-06-07T02:12:15+00:00

We've all seen the recent figures on wages in the Premiership, but which clubs get the most for their money? Here in the States we'd ask who's getting the best "bang for the buck". In England, I don't know what they'd call it. Quality for the quid? Points for the pound? Woot for the wedge?

Aussies in good shape to progress, with room for improvement

2008-06-02T03:21:16+00:00

More to the point, wouldn't it have been just a bit more sly and fun if she'd sung "My Country Tis of Thee" instead of The Star-Spangled Banner?
