Cracking the Penalty Code

Football experts in England and the Netherlands keep preaching that practicing penalty kicks is a waste of time. To them, shootouts are nothing more than a ‘lottery’. Be that as it may, winning a World Cup or European Championship has become almost impossible without surviving at least one penalty shootout. There is compelling evidence that teams perform significantly better when they practice correctly. Vergouw offers a groundbreaking new approach to solving important questions surrounding the penalty shootout. He believes The Three Lions will benefit from this publication and he hopes they win their first trophy since 1966. It goes without saying, after taking perfect penalties. George Vergouw was the first author to publish a book on big data in football in his internationally acclaimed book De Strafschop. He wrote Cracking the Penalty Code especially for English and Dutch football professionals and fans.
