World Cup 2018 continues to amaze with its achievements.
After a record number of penalties and insane antirecord, this Mundial managed to mark one more highlight.
For the first time in the history of all world championships, all teams in the group stage of the competition managed to distinguish themselves at least twice. Let's notice, that the most productive became Belgium - 9 goals. On the second and third places are England and Russia - 8 goals scored.
In total, 122 goals were scored in the group stage.
In addition, for the first time since 1982, no African team entered the playoffs of the World Cup. Egypt and Morocco took the last places in the quartets, Senegal, Nigeria and Tunisia - the third.
As for Tunisia, they also noted two distinct achievements.
"Carthaginian Eagles" have issued 2500 goals in the history of the World Championships. It happened in the third round match against Panama. The author of this ball is Fahreddin Ben Youssef. Also Tunisia won for the first time in 40 years the duel of the world championship. The victim was all the same Panama (2: 1). The last time they replayed the opponent in the distant 1978 - the national team of Mexico (3: 1).
Recall that the matches of the 1/8 finals will begin on June 30.
