   The World Cup has been gifted with a nations that are prime in group football over individual solo efforts.

   So, and for the record, 59% of all 122 goals so far, have been assisted by teammates, 52% with the right foot and 30% with the left foot, validating the remaining numbers to headers 17% while there was room for the obvious solo efforts, own goals and penalty-kicks.
   34% of the goals obtained in the 2018 FIFA World Cup have exploited dead-ball situations and 1/6th+ of the goals have occurred from the penalty-spot.
   While in terms of goals scored it has been 63 right footed and 40 footed, the right footed players when assisting have around the double of the numbers, 46 assists with right foot and 21 assists with the left foot.
