xG means expected goals, a statistic that measures the quality of a scoring chance. It's calculated using historical data on shot position, angle, and other factors to give a probability. But watching our local Kerala Premier League matches, I feel the numbers never capture the moment—a striker's determination in monsoon rain or a deflection off a muddy patch. My own spreadsheets for match analysis keep failing because our goalkeeper, who sells fish in the morning, saves shots the European models say are certain goals.
