In reply to Eric R. Set pieces (like throwins, corner kicks, goal kicks) are definitely primary opportunities to differentiate one's team from ones's opponents. I'll put together an entry on use of set pieces and what the research shows. Thanks for bringing this up, Eric!

I had a discussion with a mutual friend who plays MLS soccer. He asked about throw ins, any idea how often they lead to goal scoring opportunities/chances created? Corners, deflections, goals, shots on goal, etc. Maybe it’s a tool that should be used more ? ‍
