Are you surprised? How many of them there will be in 2026?

Uruguay doesn't know and can't play possession football. They don't have any real creative players. They are basically Atletico Madrid of national teams. I expect them to look much better and win comfortably against Russia already.
Yes unlucky. He created two clear cut, one on one chances for Suarez against Egypt and one today for Sanchez. Then he had an awesome volley saved and hit the post from a FK vs Egypt and not many chances today, but that deflected header after Torreira's shot easily goes in on another day.
Always unlucky? No. 100 goals combined for his team and country over last two seasons with an average conversion rate of 29% - pure class.

But yeah... stats
If football was just about numbers.
Yes, he is.
Yeah, if you ignore context completely as in him playing wide for 90% of those competitions or without support when Suarez was suspended.
Ah, I see you're trying to troll. Let me be out of the way then.

How are they used conveniently? Are you familiar with the concept of sample size? I'm talking about luck in two games. 3-7 games in a big competition under special circumstances is a perfect setting for some anomalies. Two top class seasons are a good measure.
No, football is not numbers. I hate them in football actually. But some numbers are very useful for certain types of players. In the case of predominantly box strikers like Cavani is, conversion rate is a pretty good indicator. I also watched almost every game of his in the past 2 years so what I'm saying is based very little on numbers. I used them just to support what I've seen.

I love how in the space of two paragraphs, stats are used conveniently, and when the numbers don't back him up, he's unlucky.
