So the stat is - since winning the 2010 WC - Spain have played 1 knock-out tie. They lost on penalties.
BTW, France will be the first reigning Champions to play a knock-out game since Brazil in 2006. Reigning champions have played a grand total of 6 knock out games since 1998. Brazil are responsible for each one of those, so starting with 1994 winner Brazil.
1998 - Brazil - Final
2002 - France - Group Stage
2006 - Brazil - QF
2010 - Italy - Group Stage
2014 - Spain - Group Stage
2018 - Germany - Group Stage
2022 - France - Last 16 minimum.
So, in summary, Winston was right. Thaks for clearing that up.
Yes, never said he wasn't, just expanded the stat to show of late winners have been shocking 4 years on.

jd82 The full compliment of subs running on the pitch to celebrate a first half goal gets a massive from this commenter..
Ref should have booked the lot of them

Ghana have scored the opening goal in a World Cup match for the first time since their quarter-final match against Uruguay in 2010.
Wow.

Wow.
To be fair, this is only their second appearance at a World Cup since then, only appearing in 2014 before now. They did have Portugal, USA and Germany in their group in 2014 as well, collecting just 1 point in a 2-2 draw with Germany. So they've only actually played 4 games since then, not a massive surprise all things considered.

Indeed, that's what I was indicating with the
The stat is completely meaningless / irrelevant really.
Still, keeps someone in a job I guess.
