Football is a simple game. It's just very hard to play it simple.
Coincidence is logical.
Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.
If you play on possession, you don't have to defend, because there's only one ball
Italians can't win the game against you, but you can lose the game against the Italians.
When you play a match, it is statistically proven that players actually have the ball 3 minutes on average ... So, the most important thing is: what do you do during those 87 minutes when you do not have the ball. That is what determines wether you're a good player or not.
