[POST MATCH CLARITY]
A quick thread on everything I think that is wrong with Belgium’s NT and everything that isn’t. Based on data + what I’m seeing with my own eyes. Some hot takes 🌶

Giannis Michailidis | @TheScoutIssue
Only defender to make the list. He’s the oldest at 20 and only made his debut for PAOK last season.
For a CB, his range of passing is impressive - highlighting a confidence beyond his years.
Future international🇬🇷

The football data community, as well as the industry, is way too focused on descriptive analytics, while the real value is in predictive analytics. Should Chelsea care about how Werner did at RBL (descriptive) or should they try to find out how he'll do with them (predictive)?
