This is about the latency involved with live broadcasts.

For a moment I thought someone tried predict goals based on gameplay information, and be able to forecast goals with a certain confidence - but I suppose the game moves too quickly and player performance is too inconsistent for this to ever work.

Yeah, 5 seconds is an eternity. Maybe it could work 1-2 seconds in advance, but 5 is pretty unbelievable.
