Football set pieces
Key Idea
Quantifies just how many goals and points come from dead balls versus open play.
One Concrete Detail
Finds that roughly a quarter of goals in top leagues come from set pieces.
My take
After this, you’ll spend more time on corners at training and less time arguing about wingers cutting inside.
