    This is a simple, neat illustration of something that answers a common question often asked by novice fans and casual observers of football - how do the players know where/when to make that pass? Non-verbal communication in the context of a shared tacit, tactical understanding within a team is a largely unexplored topic in football, AFAIK - it's the first time I've seen it formally addressed anywhere. It is definitely one of those details that makes a game so interesting for me to watch, though.
