2018 WC - The resluts

Also amused the post title has "resluts"

It's a thing

still in 'pinch me' mode for getting the quarters!

great work on the spreadsheet Ian, the milkshake has firmly been brought!

OK, so, most goals scored per game (although those of you who know how to unhide columns in Excel spreadsheet might have already seen):

1st Thor 9.1 (182 goals, 20 games)
2nd Fabio 8.9 (196 goals, 22 games)
3rd Gianni 8.2 (164 goals, 20 games)
4th Andy 7.5 (157 goals, 21 games)

Fabio was ahead until the first leg of the final.

Fewest goals conceded per game - this one was much closer:

1st Gianni 2.85 (57 goals, 20 games)
2nd Stephen D 2.89 (55 goals, 19 games)
3rd Lorenzo 2.94 (50 goals, 17 games)
4th Fabio 3 (66 goals, 22 games)

One less conceded for Stephen would have given him the prize, as would one more conceded for Gianni.
(and I've just put "walkover" in the spreadsheet for Sandro's last tie - thanks Stephen)

[Steve Camber]

Wow, very close there for defence.
Congrats Thor and Gianni!

Shurely shome mishtake?

I suppose it's a back-handed benefit to being in the Bronze Cup rather than the Gold or Silver. I can understand why Gianni was surprised after putting 10 past me!

Woah! After Fabio’s 17-1 against Alessandro I thought my chances of winning that trophy were gone. To paraphrase Dagh from last year, “I apologize to all of you!”. Congrats Gianni, and well done, Stephen!

[thor]

BTW - Great work, Ian!

[Freshmaker]

Once again: Fantastic statistics-work Ian!

And congrats to Thor and Gianni.

And just WOW! Stephen! Amazing

[Torchiador]

Wow! thanks Ian
I recognised Thor was near the top but I was almost sure that Fabio would have won the best attack!
congratulations Thor! luckily you hand't hammer me that much this year, otherwise you would have ruined the best defence!
Interesting: the first seed got the first 4 places of the best attack standing! i think it never happened before, as the same is for the 4 semifinal players, again the first seed is all there. again I do think it never happened before.

Congratulation to Stephen to be so close in best defence.

3 Italians in the 4 places in best defence: Italian catenaccio!

I can understand why Gianni was surprised after putting 10 past me!

I didn’t spot you there, you were well hidden! And I’m even more surprised now! Just by one goal! Like in Birmingham 2011 Simon K took the trophy just by one goal. I was the second there.

I was actually surprised by my position. As I thought I had ruined my defence average in few matches.
So if the difference is just by one goal, I like to think that goal was the one I denied to Fabietto with an header on the goal line!
