A Game of Two Halves• 89% of shots on goal produced

from corner kicks are wasted.• The team that shoots more

actually wins less than half the time

• The team that gets to shoot first has won just over 60 % of the contests.

• The best defence will win a championship 46% of the time, with the range, from a low of 40 % in the English Premier League and La Liga, to a high of 55 % in Italy

unevenly distributed.”
