FIFA's official stat packs for the World Cup are on the website
The data will be interesting to those who don't see Jordan Pickford's worth
"England had the most complete top-end goalkeeper profile in the final rankings."
3+ - Since the start of 2022, England have conceded 3+ goals on four occasions at international level - Jordan Pickford hasn't played in any of those four.
Indeed, Pickford hasn't conceded more than twice in any of his last 70 appearances for the Three Lions.
Debate.
So Chelsea secretly pay out £47.5m in brown envelopes to players & agents for 7 years helping them sign players like Hazard and gain sporting advantage while winning multiple trophies..
PUNISHMENT: £10m fine
——
Everton meanwhile, slightly breach PSR, overspending by £19.5m over the allowable £105m limit in one period, largely linked to stadium investment & COVID impacts.
PUNISHMENT: 10 point deduction followed by a another 2 point deduction both which directly affected their league position and prize money whilst risking being relegated from the Premier League.. AND now have to pay Burnley £40m for alleged lost earnings due to Everton’s “unfair advantage!?”
——
One club hid tens of millions in shady payments for years and got a slap on the wrist. The other got hammered with points lost, risked being relegated, costing millions in prize money for league placement and now have to pay compensation to clubs as well!?
The disparity in severity, sporting impact and deterrence makes the rules look ridiculous and unfair.
“Big” clubs get no consequences for their actions, while Everton are the league’s whipping boy suffering multiple existential hits.
Why are Everton treated so differently to every other club in the league!?

After the resounding 3-0 win against Chelsea in late March, Everton had registered 46 points from 31 games. David Moyes’ side would have only needed eight points from their final seven matches to achieve qualification for the Europa League and possibly seven (depending on goal difference) for the Conference League.
Had they kept pace with their points-per-game total (1.48) up to that point, a place in Europe would have been theirs. But instead they took a meagre three (at 0.43 ppg), conceding a series of debilitating late goals and faltering at just the wrong moment.
There will be much focus on Moyes’ future, with the Scot heading into the final year of his deal this summer. All the indications so far suggest that The Friedkin Group admires the job the 63-year-old has done until now and believes him to be a steadying influence.
The main focus from TFG has been on incremental growth over time, with the club having budgeted for a 12th-placed finish.
