Honduras are so fucking filthy.

Imagine playing with them constantly in the Concacaf...although El Salvador is worse


For me Guatemala were the worst in terms of tackles, happy to get out no injuries often.

Stupid yellow card. It was offside first.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

64 games in total and after 25 1/2 we are already at 76 goals

Thus far 2014 is likely to be 2.8 to 3 range.

Spot on. It was 2.9, after this game it could be higher.



So serious question right now, did anyone think Costa Rica would do this well in the tournament?

I have no predictions running here but I'm curious about others? Isn't OP updating anymore or is there a link where everything is recorded?

Oh ok, thank you :) 

There is obviously some work to do of course and I respect that. Today was a bad prediction day so it seems. Some crazy results

Yeah, but that was before a huge shift in tactical formations. As far as I know, teams used to be far more offensively orientated with formations like 2-3-5 and 3-3-4 being rather common, but in the mid-1950s the UEFA started their European cups and Real Madrid won the first six in a row with a 4-4-2 formation or something. Of course the world would adjust after seeing such consistent success on an international level.

The World Cups before 1958 should also have averages that are above three goals per game.


54 holds the record, if I remember correctly. Over 5 goals per game on average.
