What's happened to all the goals?
Towards the end of the group stage, I compared the 2014 World Cup to previous World Cups across a number of measures – goals per game, both teams to score, goal margins and result ratios.

We have reached the mid-point of the World Cup, and many are calling it the best World Cup in decades and even the most exiting World Cup in history.
We hear a lot about how important the first game is in a World Cup.
This weekend sees the 2013 premiers face the 2014 premiers in a battle for the coveted A-League toilet seat.
There has been a lot written this year about how even the rugby league competition is and how a lot of teams are sitting in false positions in the league.
Agree 100%. I think Reynolds should be there because he is runs the ball more and is 100% committed in every game, annoyingly so for someone that supports the Dragons!
But the problem is that Pearce’s kicking game is not where it needs to be to win origin and NSW need a kicker like Mullen. I think Pearce should be dropped but it wont happen to Mullen is my preference purely for his kicking game.
Reynolds is my pick as NSW five-eighth
Right call – give a younger player a go. Great player, was unbelievable in WC 2006 and has been awesome for Australia for a long time. Will be missed and will be difficult to find a replacement.

Yeh, thanks for calling that out – I got that one wrong. In the 8 this year that finished outside of it last year are the Broncos, Titans, Tigers and Panthers.
Expect the unexpected when it comes to the NRL ladder
I didn’t say anything about this world cup being about South American teams nor did I ever say that Germany couldn’t beat Brazil. You sir, are the one who needs to be less assertive!
