    What's the difference between a long ball or a long pass?

    The second is played by someone of the quality of Glenn Hoddle. The first by any centre half who can kick it far enough.

    My point is on these kind of stats are distorted by the fact that they class a 50 yard punt down the line as same as a cross field pass to someone feet.
