Real Football Man All of the Football, All of the time
The FIFA Confederations Cup Final came to a close last Sunday and with that it bought an end to my first round of ‘scientific polls’ on Twitter. If you are not already up to speed then firstly, where have you been? but secondly I will now explain.
The plan in its infancy is whether or not the wisdom of crowds can be trusted to pick the correct outcomes on football matches, now this is not for financial gain (yet) as I’m not sure if I can trust joe public with my money but what I can trust him and/or her to do is to provide some very useful data.
Data that will begin to take a life of its own once we move into the European domestic seasons and then there are a whole host of things that we can look at. I will not reveal them just yet as I want to keep my powder dry but I certainly have some interesting ideas going forward.
In the link below you take a look at my analysis on the pre match prediction data between Germany and Chile in the Final. Was social media correct this time around and able to continue it’s impressive run of form? simply click to find out.
Feel free to contact me if you want to assist me on what will be an ongoing project and/or if you have any football statistics work available then you can email me at realfootballmanwordpress@gmail.com
