Exactly... it's all a matter of how you read it.

And then all that could go out the window anyway if say Japan manage to beat Chile in a friendly 3-0. Lies, damn lies, and statistics :P

so Asia has the best defence because they also have the worst strikers, yeah? Or is it the other way round :)

I must admit i've tinkered with the idea of having a bet on the North Koreans to win a game.
Interesting stats. I think that it will be interesting to see if these stats ring true by looking at the wc results


What do you think about the FourFourTwo blog The Numbers Game?
We all know - or at least, everyone other than Ron Smith knows - that football is about a lot more than just numbers and statistics. Games aren't won on paper; they're won on the field, by the players...

Have your say.
