No causation reported

Yeah. I don't understand the point then. I can get two completely unrelated variables and show that there is correlation between them.
Anything that is big in Argentina and Brazil will cause this correlation.

Causation is obviously false, footballers mostly came from poverty and at least in Brazil meat is not so frequently consumed by them because of the cost.
