Two other neat facts ...
1) The top country ... by a long shot ... is not even in Europe.  53 Brazilians! Wow (and just think how many more must be playing in Europe in teams that didn't quality for CL)
2) Ivory Coast can put a whole team out with 11 (probably would have a dodgy keeper, but you know what I mean).
 
Also, I suppose if we look further down the table, we might see New Zealand ... 1.  Well done Chris Killen (can't recall if he played the previous week, though).  Any idea how many Aussies?

Everyone? How does that work? I don't believe that Scotland is better than England. As I understand it everyone means every person; everybody. So where do I fit in? What is you know that I don't? Am I Bobo in disguise....?

(Strangely: In Guinea bobo means boy. Now I know that in the case of Monsieur Balde, Bobo is the short form of his name Dianbobo. That said it always surprised me that he maintained the use of Bobo...   any of that make sense?)
