    I had to read through this article about 5 times before I understood exactly what was going on (I'm quite a big football fan, and I'd like to think I can follow nearly any article written about our sport) but wow was this article written from a different angle I've seen before. If you have a a minute, check it out.

    I wonder how random goals scored are and if predicting when a goal will be scored is really possible. I suppose the author of the article tries to argue it is based off a 'survival' instinct teams go into when they find themselves down a goal.

    Either way, its an interesting read.
