Penalties, if you take the time from the award and take into account protestations, making sure all players not involved are outside the penalty area, the taking of the penalty and what happens as a result - especially the celebrations if it goes in.
 
Something to do with crossing the ball into the penalty area. If not directly from corners then crosses into the box from free play ? Or short corners ?

Basically corners are less productive in leading to goals..... Mourinho couldn't understand the British obsession with them and why we all go mad when we get a corner..... the corner to goal ratio is less than shots to goal etc

Read all about it in 'The Numbers Game' a great football stats book I have just finished reading..
