For those of you who are following the World Cup, I ran across an article this morning at that has quite a few links that describe the science of World Cup soccer. Linked from this article are interesting studies showing that teams who wear red uniforms are most likely to win, that winning is great but losing is safer for the fans, and that "heading the ball" is associated with an increased risk of motor neuron disease.
Read this article for these and more interesting reports of soccer-based or inspired research.

Was that the same study?
OT, any thoughts on this?
You are always the best at finding cool stuff. This little URL will get me in good with my nephew!
