I’ve done some research on statistics concerning the World Cup and one fact I find quite interesting is the average height of the teams. I didn’t expect the differences to be that big, also it shows how the game becomes more and more physical. Most countries have a team much taller than their national average to match their physical style of play (Korea, Brasil, C.Rica) and no country has a below-average team (as i reckon) , which contradicts the old chliché that football players are rather short.

However, a lot remains to improve. According to official data, the annual per head milk and dairy products consumption in China reached 36.2 kilograms in 2018, much lower than in developed countries. There is room for improvement in food, housing, healthcare and many other sectors too.
In other words, China needs to do more to raise its people’s living standards, and it will constantly aspire to do so. The results might show in the next report Lancet publishes on a similar subject.

Researchers say tracking changes in the height and weight of children across the world and over time is important because they can reflect the quality of nutrition available, and how healthy environments are for young people. The team analysed data from more than 65 million children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 years from more than 2000 studies between 1985 and 2019. They found that in 2019, on average, children and teenagers in north-western and central Europe (eg those in the Netherlands and Montenegro) were the tallest in the world. Meanwhile, the 19-year-olds who were on average the shortest lived… Read more »

World Cup 2018: Does height matter in football? Gordon Strachan said genetics were to blame for Scotland’s failure to beat Slovenia The claim: Gordon Strachan, the former manager of Scotland, said after the country’s failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia that his team lacked the height and strength to compete, saying that Scotland were the second-shortest team “in the last campaign”. Reality Check verdict: In recent years, Scotland have been among the shortest teams in Europe, when measuring average height of the squad – but not the second-shortest. However, height in football doesn’t necessarily lead to… Read more »

斯内德成为荷兰历史出场次数第一的传奇
老将斯内德是现在这支荷兰队中资格最老的球员，而今天凌晨过后，他也成为了荷兰足球历史上出场次数最多的传奇球员。
荷兰时间还是6月9日，这一天是斯内德33岁的生日，而他也在生日这天创造了不可磨灭的纪录。他以131次的出场次数超越范德萨，成为了荷兰国家队历史出场最多的球员。范德萨的出场纪录是在2008年创造的，在与科特迪瓦的那场比赛中他替补上场完成了国家队的第130次出场。
斯内德曾随荷兰队一起取得了很多成就，他从2003年开始为荷兰国家队效力，曾代表球队夺得2010年世界杯亚军和2014年世界杯季军，也在2010年世界杯上荣膺银球奖和铜靴奖，不过2010年与世界杯擦肩而过还是他职业生涯最大的遗憾。那一年率领国米豪夺三冠王，并帮助橙衣军团获得世界杯亚军的他本来被认为是金球奖的不二人选，但可惜最终他还是与这一个人最高荣誉无缘。
