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