Abstract: Besides complexities concerning football championships, some regularities are identified in them. These regularities refer to goal distributions by goal-players and by games. In particular, the goal distribution by goal-players is well adjusted by the Zipf–Mandelbrot law, suggesting a connection with an anomalous decay.
