lol

Some stats from www.fifa.com/worldcup/statistics/index.html after 36 matches but a little biased for now as groups A and B have played all their games.


Country with most goals: Netherlands with 10

Best attacking side: Brazil 47 attempts (goals, on target, off target, blocks, saves, etc)

Most passing side: Spain 1703

Best defending side: Croatia 77 (tackles, blocks, saves, etc)

Top scorer: Neymar 4

Longest runner: Marcelo Diaz (Chile): 36km!

Player with most successful passes: Gary Medel (Chile): 92%

Most saves by a goalkeeper: Vincent Enyeama (Nigeria): 8 saves and nothing conceded

There has been an average of 3 goals per match

Netherlands vs Mexico in the last 16, looks like a cracker of a game in store.

S America and CONCACAF teams seem to filling up the last 16 positions,

I believe that after the Uruguay / England game Suarez said to Gerrard, now that you are going home can you please water my flowers.Must have gone down well.

lol, that is clever, Suarez better hope he is not on the same plane back to England with Gerrard because don't Uraguay have to win tonight to advance to the next round, or would a draw do it or them?

England are pretty shite....

You are correct, only a Uruguay win will see them still in the compo

Waiting on Engels to come on and say he backed the correct score

What ever that may be ()

Half-time. Need another 9 changes.
