Which Football Stats Actually Matter Most?
There are so many football statistics available now that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Some people swear by expected goals, others focus on shots on target or pass accuracy. I’m trying to figure out which stats are actually useful for understanding performance, especially over a season. Not every high-possession team dominates matches, and not every low-shot game is boring. I’d love to hear which metrics people rely on most and which ones they tend to ignore completely.

On evenings when there’s a full card of matches across regions, friends and I sometimes lose track of half the games in the noise, so we started bookmarking reliable score summaries instead of flipping between apps. In the middle of that search I saw live matches today on TV mentioned a few times in discussions about score aggregation, and it gave us a simple way to check multiple results and avoid missing goals while we were cooking or chatting.
