Now, one website has come up with some world cup numbers you may not have considered….

France silenced their critics when they hammered Italy but was it really down to Zidane’s return or could it because they were table toppers when it came to tantrums. Italy’s German stay might have been shortened by the fact that they ranked number 2 for bullying referees…not a good idea.

And if you want to know why Serbia and Montenegro exited the competition with only zero points well maybe there was patriotic issues at stake – of all the teams they ranked the highest for not singing their national anthem.
