2021.E8 - Discussing the National Team

/

Hello World!

The ASA Pod has once again as promise returned! But in such epic fashion as has never before been seen. This episode boasts a grand total of 179 minutes, nearly 3 hours, of beautiful audio content. All discussing National Teams and the United States Men’s National Team to be specific.

A grand conversations on sample size, squad selections and data as well as much much MUCH more were had. A big thank you to both, the wonderful and deep thinking Bobby Warshaw as well as consummate professional tactical nerd, Joseph Lowery who each gave such a considerable amount of their valuable time to talk with Harrison Crow in respective segments for this episode.

We have more long form episodes we’re working on over the next few months which we hope will follow consecutive month releases. We are targeting Thursday specifically as our release days. As mentioned at the end of the podcasts the amount of time that went into planning and producing these podcast were significant. A big thanks to Ian, Drew Olsen, Jamon Moore, Sean Steffen, Harrison Crow and Simon Thwaits for their respective help in getting this off the ground as well as the many other ASA Staff who were bugged, poked and variously surveyed for their thoughts and feedback.

As always, we do this not for ourselves but for the community and as such we expect that you do your part and give us feedback. Hit us up on our contacts page. Tell us what you don’t like or, be a weirdo, tell us the cool things you do like. I know no one on the internet does positive constructive feedback or encouragement but we should do love it!

We thank you for listening and, as Ian always says, enjoy the soccer!

2021.E7 - Addressing the mysteries of Goals Added

/

Folks, we’re back. This time with some smarty pants folks. One of the ASA founders and all around smart guy Matthias Kullowatz drops by to do some high level discussions of G+. Additionally we have Jamon Moore who hangs out and helps facilitate hosting duties in Ian’s stead.

We appreciate all those that sent DM’s or public messages to help facilitate questions and general discussion. This won’t be the last time we dissect things and talk about our player model but this was a good start.

As always you get us on twitter at @harrison_crow, @mattyanselmo and @jmoorequakes

2021.E5 - Strange DC takes

Harrison (@harrison_crow) and Ian (@ahandleforian) take on some of the burning questions that exist in the back of your mind. Such what the heck is happening statistically between Nashville, NYC and Sporting. The two then suddenly have a barrage of DC takes because… who knew? There is also some random dunking on Gio Savarese. Enjoy!
