  for me, weather.
  
  look at Japan vs Oz.
  
  Japan players were really out of gas but Oz kept coming and got 3 goals.
  
  and reports about england need 70L instead of normal 20L.

  Group Stage Stats.....
  
  Four teams qualified for the next stage with a maximum nine points (Germany, Brazil, Portugal and Spain) while two teams qualified with only four (Australia and Mexico). Three teams had the honour of scoring eight goals (Argentina, Germany and Spain) while Trinidad and Tobago were the only team not to score. Serbia and Montenegro conceded the highest number – ten.
  
  Argentina had the biggest win – 6-0 v Serbia and Montenegro - while the Opening Match between Germany and Costa Rica also produced six goals. With 117 goals so far each game has produced an average of 2.44 with the FIFA World Cup's 2000th goal scored by Sweden’s Markus Allback against England on 20 June.
  
  There is almost an even split between each half – 57 goals have arrived in the first 45 minutes, 60 in the second. Fourteen goals have come in the first ten minutes, 30 in the last ten minutes (including added-on time).
  
  There have been three own goals and 12 penalties awarded with nine scored and three missed.
  
  Substitutes have accounted for 20 of the goals scored while the title of fastest goal so far (second minute) is shared by GhanaÂ’s Asamoah Gyan (v Czech Republic) and Darijo Srna of Croatia (v Australia). Lionel Messi (19 today but 18 when he scored) is the youngest goalscoreer so far with his strike for Argentina against Serbia and Montenegro. The oldest is Yahya Golmohammadi (35) with his goal for Iran against Mexico.
  
  The most yellow cards (12) were accrued by Ghana and Tunisia with USA having the least (three). The average number of yellow cards per game is 4.83.
