Atlanta United 2019 Season Preview
Join me for a moment in a Lovecraftian horror in which time is an illusion
and the events of life as we know it, or the meaningful events at least,
(soccer matches) progress not sequentially by the steady consumption of the
present as measured in minutes and seconds but by the experience of passes
being attempted from open play. In this nightmare, as the fates dictate the
average MLS team experiences 900 such passes attempted during a match (the
total of both teams over 90+ minutes), and using passes experienced as the
unit of account, the average 2018 MLS team spent 46% of its matches with a
level score line (27% leading and 27% trailing).
