World Cup records

[pookenstein]

One more record first time since 1930 with two missed penalties in the same game

And both missed within 2 minutes...

That depends if you consider North and South America to be different continents or not.

Nope, it doesn't. Brasil won in Japan/Saouth Korea.

I thought I heard somewhere that this is the world cup with the least goals so far. But don't know for sure though.

there have been 133 goals scored so far. Since FIFA has had 32 teams the totals are:

France '98: 171
Korea/Japan '02: 161
Germany '06: 147

Only 4 games left to score 14 goals to catch up to Germany '06. That's 3.5 goals/game. Not impossible but I think it will come up just short

Nope, it doesn't. Brasil won in Japan/Saouth Korea.

Argentina (South America) won in Mexico (North America)
