The previous articles from this series, the “Blame it on the Rio Olympics” Parts 1 and 2, look at evaluating the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) players statistically to see if the best players from the NWSL were taken to the 2016 Rio Olympics. In Part 3, players are analyzed once again with a different, but now much improved method. In this review we will be statistically evaluating players by “SNAFU”.
Now, this is NOT the old World War II phrase- “Situation Normal- All Fouled Up”. Nope, this is “Statistically Normalized- All For ‘U'”! Actually, that is such a horrible and corny name, so how about “Statistically Normalized – All ‘Fudged’ Up”?
