Are you brain damaged? This is a serious question. Look at my message when someone asked to see that study.

Over large sample size the difference would be there. But over a small sample size like penalty shoot outs at a world cup, the difference should not even exist. Those stats in the other report confirm this
Please show me a study backing up your points, other than 'I've seen it' and 'I descend from the master race'
