Mr. Numbers

For all your number-related football facts. Used to work at @datafactoryla. World Cup stats:

@ArnoldcommaJon I’ve been building StatPiece for World Cup prep, with team pages and historical stat notes for all 2026 teams. Thought it might be useful for CONCACAF coverage, especially USA/Mexico/Canada

Mexico’s team page:

🐐 Lionel Messi enters the 2026 World Cup on 13 career World Cup goals.

Miroslav Klose’s all-time record is 16.

That leaves Messi three goals away from one of the biggest records in World Cup history.

👔 Julian Nagelsmann (38) will be the youngest coach at the 2026 World Cup.

👴 Dick Advocaat (78) will be the oldest.

The age gap between the youngest and oldest managers is almost 40 years.

🇮🇹 Italy are absent from the 2026 World Cup, but Italian clubs still supply 71 players.

That is more than any other league from a non-participating country.

🏆 Sixteen PSG players can become the first Champions League-World Cup double winners since Raphaël Varane in 2018.

That is one of the more interesting club-to-country storylines for 2026.

More records to watch: https://t.co/BNvhIrpOGt

Picture to attach: crop the PSG/Champions League double stat.

[Mr. Numbers @Mister_Numbers]

No World Cup debutant has won their opening match since Senegal beat France in 2002.

In 2026, four nations get a chance to end that run:
🇨🇻 Cape Verde
🇨🇼 Curaçao
🇯🇴 Jordan
🇺🇿 Uzbekistan

Paraíso dos números para quem é fã.

@kaiohenricunha I like it! And very nice UI as well, good stuff!

[Mr. Numbers @Mister_Numbers]

First tweet in a while.

I’ve been working on a new project for the World Cup: StatPiece — a fast statistics site for journalists, football fans and stats obsessives (like myself).

It’s still in beta, but already includes historical World Cup matches, goals, team pages and 2026 match previews.

Would love feedback before kick-off.

The first match previews for the 2026 World Cup are live on https://t.co/XcVGSGxdJX! With team records, a H2H, facts and more.

Here's Mexico - South Africa:

Small StatPiece update:

The mobile version is finally much better. The archive also works nicely on phone now, which was important to me.

First stats are live too, and I’ll keep adding more during the World Cup.
