description: Fascinating perspective on how this metric has evolved since 2014. Would've been interesting to see some actual xG examples from memorable matches to illustrate the concept better. Still a solid foundational read though.|

description: The article cuts off mid-sentence ("you'll se") - needs editing. Also, I feel like xG can be misleading sometimes. A brilliant striker converts low xG chances all the time.|

description: This is exactly what modern football needed. Clubs that ignore xG data are leaving millions on the table. The teams that embraced it early (Liverpool, Brighton) have genuinely benefited. Numbers don't lie.|

description: Great introduction, but I'd love to see the article go deeper into how xG models actually calculate shot quality. What variables are being weighted? This feels like it only scratches the surface.|

description: Honestly, I miss the days when we just watched football without overthinking every shot. xG takes away from the beauty of the game imo.|
