Football from scratch

A complete beginner path into football (soccer) seen through a prediction lens: how the game and the running clock work, what positions and formations imply for goals, the real drivers of a result, why football is low-scoring and high-variance, set pieces and red cards as game-changers, and how it all feeds a model. No prior knowledge assumed.
