I tell you though, when you go elsewhere to play against foreign O-40/50 teams...there isn't a "lot" of competition: when we first headed down to Peru to play in a tourney down there, I don't know what we were expecting but it wasn't to be up 5-0 at the half. Other nations seem to grow guts as...
Interesting read, reminds me of an 80's researcher (whose name I can't remember) who studied 10,000+ games and came up with some interesting stats that seemed to counter classic "possession" ball:

New joint at 575 West Georgia downtown called The Nosherie. A disclaimer that the owner is a buddy of mine. I had his Rueben sandwich today and it might be the best I've ever had. Unconventional, with a cabbage topping on toasted rye. Very tasty! They've been open for 4 weeks now and are still...

The Rendezvous at the Holiday Inn on Broadway between Oak and Cambie.
The Jolly Alderman at 12th and Cambie...I turned 19 in there, faint recollections of getting tackled as I was making a speech standing on one of those little square tables with the red terry tablecloth. My shorts (it was...
Well if the defender was in between Hassli and the goal-which, btw, would have given him the ability to "see his man and the ball at all times"-Hassli wouldn't have had a free volley. He may have still won the touch on the ball but he wouldn't have been able to tee it up like he did.
