Football is about me and my right to do whatever I want with no regard for the name of the sport or those enjoying the sport around me!
But whatever I do, I do in the name of my club... Which I love...

But seriously. has this reporter heard of The Den. I'm sure the millwall roar would've kept vinnie jones in his shell. A study a couple of years ago in the Bundesliga suggested that players were less influenced by the crowd than the referees were and that was where the home ground advantage came from. They also found that stadiums which were seated closer to the pitch had a stronger home ground advantage.

Although referring to NFL, an article here suggests that home field advantage becomes more pronounced as the season wears on. The article to which I referred earlier was a serialised piece from a book called 'Scorecasting' where they look at the suggestion in great depth - they went through the complete scoring records for Major League Sports in america. You can read a truncated piece here

That combined with the comfort the players get from not having anything disrupted from their pre-game routine for home games makes a difference. I'd be interested to know whether teams with more proficiency at set pieces showed a stronger affinity for home ground advantage.

I think it's more pronounced in NFL for that exact reason. They make a lot of noise when the D is on the field so that the opposition O struggles to make audible calls at the line of scrimmage. I recall reading an article about 18 months ago from the american university that found home ground advantage in football and gridiron was strongly pronounced, moderate in baseball and less so in basketball.

A new study appearing in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, published by Sports Medicine Australia, has discovered that home ground advantage can have more to do with the distance the away team travels, than the noise the home team’s crowd makes. The results of the study, Home Advantage in Australian Soccer, by Sydney University’s Chris Goumas, flies in the face of conventional wisdom. “The general consensus amongst sports scientists is that home-team crowd support, which can affect both player performance and referee decision making, is the main cause of home advantage in soccer,” Goumas said. “The results of the present study, however, suggest that when a soccer competition covers several time zones, travel effects such as jet-lag may play an even greater role than crowd support. “The more time zones an A-League soccer team crosses when playing away from home, the worse they perform. When teams based within the same time zone play each other, there is little or no advantage gained by the home team. However, when two or more time zones are crossed, home teams score about twice as many goals as away teams.” Goumas, who considers himself a soccer fan, was surprised by the results. “Results of previous studies suggest that home-team crowd support is the major cause of home advantage in soccer, whereas away-team travel has little, if any, effect. The present study, however, found the opposite to be the case,” he said. http://sma.org.au/2013/12/home-ground-advantage/ Just for laughs, here's the opening paragraph from the Townsville Bulletin, pg. 10, 10/12/13 Quote:Chanting and cheering soccer fans may as well shut up and enjoy the show, new research on home ground advantage has shown. I read this on the bbc.com website and I was like huh? But who cares ? Are we that insecure about people bagging the sport out ? Get over it

By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.
