Do you think the rules should be changed? Let us know in the comments.
Lu discusses the Japan women’s team who went undefeated in their pool, letting no more than 4 goals past them in any one game. A truly dominant performance, but can it continue on into the bracket?
Felix looks at what makes Italy U24’s fast break counter-attacking offence so efficient and effective at the World U24 Championships in Nottingham, UK.

I wanted to circle back to some WUCC 2022 footage to check out Njord playing Hex. In this blowout victory take note of the calm conservative decisions the Danes make that lead to 7 out of 7 successful O-line holds and a multitude of converted breaks. Congratulations to Njord who climbed 20 seeds for a 22nd place finish. Full video available for all Patrons.
Felix takes a look at individual player’s impacts on the match, what was working for them and what was causing problems for the team on offence and defence, takes a dive into statistics, and looks inwardly at his own biases before concluding his epic analysis of this game.
In this video Noah looks at all the turnovers from the 2022 World Games group stage match between Colombia and USA, including a near-foul on Ximena Montana, Duque turning his back with the disc in his hands, a visionary poach by Valeria Cardenas to safely intercept an up-line pass, and a miscommunication between Chastain and Khalif whilst double dribbling.
Noah notes how soon after stoppages Colombia’s turnovers come, and takes a quick look at some early pick calls from the USA which could have made an impact. We also get to see Khalif’s clutch mobile phone replay from the sidelines to rule Jack Williams in-bounds due to a force-out foul.
Felix takes a play-by-play look at the final part of this match which would end up being historic, breaking it down in detail. In this part, Clapham fight back from behind to bring the match to 14-14, Universe Point.
This analysis features a look at how an offence can become ‘out of sync’ when players have differing priorities / principles, how Ranelagh stopped Clapham making a single pass off the pull at 14-13, and a close look at a controversial call on a double-layout play in universe point (thumbnail).
In this video Noah looks at all the turnovers from the 2022 World Games group stage match between Colombia and Australia. More analysis videos in this series from the World Games are coming soon.
Felix takes a play-by-play look at the third part of this match which would end up being historic, breaking it down in great detail. In this part, Clapham come out strong after half time but Ranelagh claw it back to take a 13-12 lead going into the final part of the match.
This analysis features a look at the distinction between “return pass flow” and “continuation flow”, the difference that turning/facing infield after catching makes, and how an “empathy jump” cost Clapham dearly at a crucial moment.
