Sports: Soccer World Cup: Trends in scores, and looking for a breakout winner



Here's the wrap-up of Win / Loss / Tie stats for World Cup games to date, with the schedule for upcoming events tomorrow, starting at 7:30 am (ET and, of course, Toronto time).


For me, the tie between the USA and England was a blast.  When the USA tied Slovenia, 2-2, I was delirious having expected the American soccer team to flunk out in the first game.  Not so.

But what's this tie score thing?, there's lots of ties in the first wave of results as they're compliled.  Also, where there aren't ties, the scores are quite small, okay, but all the time?

  • It was Germany, wasn't it?, that had an atypical win for this FIFA so far, a 4-0 but I forget against whom.  Ah, a leader is emerging that may go to the top.  But, no, that was a fluke apparently.  Germany lost in turn O-1 to victor Serbia.

    Hat Tip to ESPN from the site of which this chart has been derived.
