That's not entirely true, us Germans love statistics but more like goal to attempt rate or something like this. Received passes, etc. Not whatever they're trying to do here.

Here in the UK we get a bunch of stats every game, but its pretty much the same stats every time with no fuckery. Shots on target (that would have gone in if it wasnt for that pesky keeper) and stuff.

Exactly. I don't care if they could have saved it if their mother was born in August, statistically speaking, or if they had a goldfish at seven.

You can count on F1 commentators (mostly Crofty) to pull out some obscure stats though

Sorry, what I said was an exaggeration, but yeah keeping track of shots on goal, passes, etc are just basic parts of the game. Essentially the same as keeping score. Americans don’t do that. They literally keep track of exactly stuff like the xkcd shows. It’s not even an exaggeration.

Did they do it with most sports? I only seen it in baseball and american football, probably also basketball huh.
