Football Momentum: Psychology vs. Data

I remember vividly the 2010 World Cup final. Spain was on the brink of victory, the tension palpable. Then came that moment, Iniesta's goal. The stadium erupted, and for those final minutes, it felt like Spain was playing with an invisible force propelling them forward. As a fan, I felt that surge, that 'momentum.' But how much of that feeling is pure psychology, and how much can be quantified by the data we now collect with such granularity? This question lies at the heart of understanding football match momentum, a concept that transcends mere statistics and delves into the human element of sport, a subject that fascinates me as a sports technology writer.
