Round 2 Stats

I continue to provide statistics from the World Cup matches. As I did for round 1, the average points and goals are analyzed between the continents. See here to a deeper explanation. America whipped the other continents in all areas. Europe gained some good numbers due to Portugal's 7-0 crush on North Corea. Africa should be ashamed of their performance.

  1. America: 6 wins - 1 - draw - 1 loss: 2.38 point average
  2. Europe: 6 wins - 3 draw - 4 loss: 1.62 point average

With 5 Points Chile Qualifies, 6 Points May Not Be Enough

Obviously 9 points in Group H would be optimal, but let us play with numbers. If Chile gets 5 points, they are qualified to next round but if they get 6 points, they might not. How is that possible?

Dream Scenario
Chile qualified as Group H leaders, plays against Group G second place if ...

Chile - Honduras 1-0
Chile - Switzerland 1-0 (or higher)
Chile - Spain 1-0 (or higher)

Chile: 3 wins 0 draws 0 losses 3 Goals For 0 Goals Against +3 Goals 9 Points

Probable Scenario

If Chile wins over Switzerland with many goals and draws against Spain. They would be Group H winners and play against Group G seconds.

Chile - Honduras 1-0
Chile - Switzerland 5-0
Chile - Spain 0-0

Chile: 2 wins 1 draw 0 losses 6 Goals For 0 Goals Against +6 Goals 7 Points

Okay Scenario
Beating Spain seems near impossible today (maybe not tomorrow), but a draw against Switzerland and Spain would mean ...

Chile - Honduras 1-0
Chile - Switzerland 0-0
Chile - Spain 0-0

Swiss 7 points
Chile: 1 win 2 draws 0 losses 1 Goal For 0 Goals Against +1 Goals 5 Points
Spain 4 points

Assuming that both Switzerland and Spain beat Honduras mean that Switzerland is Group winner with 7 points and Spain are out with 4 points. Chile advances with 5 points and meet Group G winners (Brazil).

Nightmare Scenario
A nightmare would occur if Chile, Switzerland and Spain end up with 6 points, and Chile is knocked out due to goal difference. It could be possible if Chile beats Switzerland and losses against Spain. Switzerland then wins against Honduras with more goals than Chile did.

Chile - Honduras 1-0 Switzerland - Spain 1-0 Spain - Honduras 5-0
Chile - Switzerland 1-0 Switzerland - Honduras 5-0
Chile - Spain 0-5

Swiss: 2 wins 0 drawss 1 loss 10 Goals For 1 Goal Against +9 Goals 6 Points
Spain: 2 wins 0 draws 1 loss 10 Goals For 1 Goal Against +9 Goals 6 Points
Chile: 2 wins 0 draws 1 loss 2 Goals For 5 Goals Against -3 Goals 6 Points

Round 1 Stats

I took the liberty to analyze the first round of the World Cup. The final result generate 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw, a loss get zero points. The amount of goals are also being counted. The total amount of points and goals are divided with the amount of teams of each continent. Australia and New Zealand belong here to Asia, and America is counted as one. I will let statistics speak for itself.

W=Wins D=Draws L=Loss

Points
  1. America: 3 w - 4 d - 1 l: 1,63 point average
  2. Asia: 2 w - 1 d - 2 l: 1,4 point average
  3. Europe: 4 w - 5 d - 4 l: 1,31 point average
  4. Africa: 1 w - 2 d - 3 l: 0,83 point average

Goals For
  1. Asia: 5 Goals: 1,0 Goal average
  2. America: 7 Goals: 0.88 Goal average
