Its not an exact comparison. We use models to analyse the economy but not human behavior. Any sport is a lot about human intelligence, behavior, and skill. Easy to quantify the final output (like numbers that matter such as goals) and compare those. Right now, other than that, we dont have good enough models for any action in football. The context is very important, but that is completely ignored by statistics. Until we get where those things are given due consideration, there is no point quoting or debating over vanity metrics like xG, offensive actions etc. There is a very American tendency to reduct a game to just stats, but that a game is infinitely more complex. You may have just one offensive action in the game and yet still win the game if you are well drilled defensively, and can stop opposition counters.
