Understanding soccer as a complex system we base on nature and the collective
behavior of many organisms that "do calculations," seeking to generate
solutions in a bioinspired way. When soccer mysteries appear, complex systems
science emerges as a means to provide explanations. However, given the variety
of interpretations that complexity and its associated properties can have and
the understanding of what a complex system is, it is convenient to provide some
elements to understand how unpredictability in soccer gives way to hundreds of
counterintuitive results and how the science of complexity could contribute to
the understanding of many phenomena in this sport. In this context, the
manuscript's objective is to synthetically address some of the most important
aspects of applied complexity to soccer to bring science and sport closer
