But, until recently, that did not apply to the biggest sport in the world. Not in soccer. It was as though this simplest of sports is too complicated for statistics. Or that only one statistic counts, the number of times the ball hits the back of the net. "The only statistic that counts", there’s an often used and annoying stock term.

La última vale doble en caso de empate. Pasar por debajo al dejar al otro a cero. Cervezas en botellín. Vestidos. Los primeros móviles. Mejillones en salsa para doce. Cigarros.
