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.
