🇺🇿 Uzbekistan deservedly qualified for their first-ever World Cup with a strong showing in the AFC qualifiers... after years of steady development of the senior & youth national teams

Here I'll preview them with data provided by @twelve_football

Uzbekistan have some really difficult games in their first World Cup, but I think they could be a surprise team here

They'll likely be forced to play deeper & more on the counter than in Asian play, but they're still very good in transition so could pounce on any mistakes!

[Ben Griffis @BeGriffis]

However, despite this weakness, Uzbekistan were still very strong out of possession, limiting opponents' ability to enter both their defensive third as well as their box

@KriTiller I don’t have access to physical metrics so no. Sorry!

[Ben Griffis @BeGriffis]

I have a *lot* more work to do... but making some initial progress on adding a player comparison tool to my app

Probably the most-requested addition

[Ben Griffis @BeGriffis]

@jakolling I love it!! great work!

[Ben Griffis @BeGriffis]

I really need to look back into integrating the distributions alongside my radars 😂

[Ben Griffis @BeGriffis]

The feedback I've received on these graphs (radar and distribution) has been pretty positive.

Is this something you all would want me to clean up and add to my GitHub?

Caveat before you respond... there's a lot of moving pieces here and plenty of things to manually enter

[Ben Griffis @BeGriffis]

@HufcxG mplsoccer has a Turbine Chart function, but I've always found it a bit too busy to read even if it's actually a great way to combine standard radars with distributions

I'm sure there's a way to do it and be very readable though!
