If-clasue
If there is anything that we can take away from what we’ve seen is to take advantage of another team’s mistakes.
About the sentence above, where would you put a comma, to set the if-clause apart from the main clause?

Hi. Your sentence doesn't make sense, especially part starting with "is to take".

I didn't write the sentence. Actually, it's from here:

I'm having a hard time understanding it...

"And if there is anything that we can take away from what we’ve seen, [our goal] is to take advantage(the "anything" he mentioned) of another team’s mistakes.”
I think it has been put down right from conversation recorded without correcting. I can't recall exactly how it's called but such thing exists.

Hi guys,
People don't always speak grammatically. And sometimes their speech is reported verbatim.
My guess is that the most likely missing word in terms of common grammar usage is 'it'.
If there is anything that we can take away from what we’ve seen, it is to take advantage of another team’s mistakes.
