Peruvian National Team Impressed in the World Cup
The participation of the Peruvian National Team in the World Cup left a good impression after 36 years of absence. Although our farewell came earlier than expected, the analysis of our team left a positive feeling.
It was revealed that our country ranked eighth in one of the tables of the World Cup, which ranks the top ten teams with the most shots on goal in the tournament. This ranking was elaborated by "The Times" from England.
Brazil was the team that shot the ball to the woodwork the most, as they reportedly had 6.4 shots per match. In second place is Germany with 5 shots; Belgium ranks third with 4.7; Senegal with 4; Spain with 3.9; Argentina with 3.5; and Tunisia with 3.3.
In eighth place, according to the British media, Peru, Croatia, France, Japan, and Switzerland are tied with three shots on goal per match. Our national team, with fewer matches played, challenged the opponent's goalkeepers as many times as the finalists did in the World Cup.
England, on the other hand, came as a surprise as they ranked second to last in the table with only 0.9 shots on goal, despite having Harry Kane, the tournament's top scorer. Finally, Iran finished last in the table with an average of 0.7 shots in the three matches they played.
