  I would take the penalty in that way and that I

  Games Are Won” attribute this to
  ‘Crowdsourcing’, implying that the mood of the
  crowd may influence decision making, rather
  than to other maligned factors. A statistical

  also points out that other footballing criteria may
  also explain the correlation. What phrase?

  attacking role behind the strikers, “in the
  hole”, if you will? This might refer to an
