Abstract
This paper uses a basic statistical analysis of newspaper articles to gain an insight into the game of football. Basic features of the game axe established and examined in a way that should give insights to the designers of RoboCup teams and also suggest future developments for the regulations that determine the RoboCup environment. As concrete examples of possible Soccer Server modifications, we suggest touchline coaching, a revised model of stamina, and the inclusion of substitutions.
