I wrote a post before the semi finals of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The post noted some of the inputs going into these two games from the four teams involved.
The outputs of the games were:
- Higher ranked teams (FIFA Ranking May 2010) won both games
- The team that scored first won both games
- Spain continued its remarkable discipline record and received no cards from the referee in the game v Germany
These are the Castrol Index data for the games:
