#FIFAWorldCup
The average World Cup goalkeeper is now 1.90m, a full 10cm above the average midfielder. In 1930 that gap was only 4cm.
No position has been reshaped by football's hunger for height like the one in goal.
65 players in the WC were born in the Netherlands. 25 play for the country, 25 Curacao, 6 Cape Verde, 3 Morocco and Turkey, and 1 each Ghana, New Zealand and the US (Sergino Dest).

Mo Salah is just two goals away from becoming Egypt's outright all-time top scorer ๐ช๐ฌโฌ๏ธ
