I've been getting a lot of hits from Germany in the past few days.  I don't know if they're all from the same person or not, but welcome and thanks for stopping by!  I took a couple of days off after writing about my extended Pythagorean over the past week, but there are some posts on the latest club/country coefficients for CONCACAF, a paper review on "Football Fever" written by a group of German physicists, and a conference at MIT on Sports Analytics (and wondering why there aren't any football-related topics).  And I have started, with the help of a couple other contributors, a base design of a soccer results database suitable for statistical analysis.  I haven't forgotten that effort; it's gotten buried under some other efforts but I hope to have some updates on that end very soon.

Once again, welcome!
