Get team names with a subquery
Let's solve a problem we've encountered a few times in this course so far -- How do you get both the home and away team names into one final query result?
Out of the 4 techniques we just discussed, this can be performed using subqueries, correlated subqueries, and CTEs. Let's practice creating similar result sets using each of these 3 methods over the next 3 exercises, starting with subqueries in FROM.
Warning: if your code times out, you probably made a mistake in the JOIN and tried to join on the wrong fields, which caused the table to be too big! Read the provided code and comments carefully, and check your ON conditions!
