rsssf.com records four penalties in the group stage in 1930 - only one scored!Oddly all in group A
There were no penalties in the group stage in 1934, (but then, there was no group stage)

The ITV commenter said yesterday that 17% of all goals were scored in last 15 mins of games as though this was regarded as a lot.
Well 17% is about one sixth and a quarter of an hour of a game is about a sixth, so I would have thought the statistic was about right and nothing out of the ordinary.

From my experience, it is out of the ordinary - one expects more
I do keep a check on this, and in the last five years my % in last 15 minutes is
2013-14: 20.4%
2014-15: 22.0%
2015-16: 24.9%
2016-17: 22.9%
2017-18: 23.8%

You can prove anything with statistics to suit whatever argument you are trying to make. You could say that from the games played up to and including 21st June 100% of goals have been scored during 90 minutes plus added on time of play. I'm not one for using statistics in games, football is played over 90 minutes on grass (real or otherwise) and not on a piece of paper covered in statistics.
The feeling of utter devastation when you pick up your mug and realise you already finished your tea.

Opps, Mr Lineker. Yes, the 1954 World Cup did go 26 games, (the full tournament) without a scoreless draw - but no it was not entirely a knock out competition

BBC's commentator mentioned the butterfly celebration by Granit Xhaka last night. That's an ugly looking butterfly on Albania's flag!

So today, nice man Gary informs us that John Stones was the first player from Manchester City to score at the world cup since Trevor Francis against Kuwait.
Obviously Aguero's goal only last week didn't count......
I'm sure there have been others - perhaps he meant "for England" but we can only guess....

Possibly the worst match commentary I've ever heard on 5Live, with the Denmark v France match today. I appreciate that it was far from entertaining on the pitch, but Conor McNamara (with a little help from Dion Dublin) milked this (un)comic thread for all it was worth, like a sub-standard Test Match Special.
Peter Jones and Jimmy Armfield must be turning in their graves.

I'm sure the commentator said that Argentina hadn't lost a World Cup Finals match after leading at half time since 1935!

Didn't Glenn Hoddle say using discipline to separate teams with equal records should be replaced with goals and entertaining football. Sorry Glenn we already have goal difference and goals scored and they were equal.
He really is a gimp and actually makes Conor McNamara look competent.

I had to smile the other morning trying not to listen to carefully to Robbie Savage on the radio when a chap rang in and asked him what he thought about overpaid ex footballers being allowed to spout rubbish on radio and TV. I presume he hadn't got a clue who Savage was.
