Three footballing powerhouses top the list and there are a number of other good teams too, but there are a couple of surprises in the list:

Jersey and Northern Cyprus haven’t played many matches, and if explored further we would find that they have been against low standard opposition.
Iran has a high winning percentage and competed in a significant number of matches.
This seems unusual, so we can drill into just the 477 Iran matches and look at who they have played and how they got on against those teams. Here are the top 10 teams that Iran has played.

None of these are known as particularly cyprus mobile numbers strong teams. This helps explain their good record. Furthermore, there are some teams where their win percentage is significantly below their overall record.

The World Cup has just started, so now I’ll turn my attention to the 836 matches played in the World Cup finals. Firstly, here’s a simple breakdown of the number of matches in each World Cup, showing the expansion of matches in the tournament.

The next chart shows the progression of goal scoring in the World Cup finals. It shows that the goal difference in matches has been reasonably consistent over many World Cup cycles, but the total goals scored have had periods of rise and fall. The last World Cup in 2014 had a significant increase in average goals scored in a match (2.67 compared to 2.27). Will the World Cup 2018 continue this trend and serve up exciting football and lots of goals.
