Here's an interesting stat for you...

[Zenith]

Wales are the first team since eventual winners Greece in 2004 to win a game in the knockout stages by only having one shot on target.

It's an omen.

[lardy]

Did we even have one?

[The Bloop]

Portugal have reached the quarters without winning a game.

Yes, there was that free kick by Bale, but that was the only one.

[goslow]

Fair play you fooled me with 'interesting'

[Colonel Cærdiffi]

The disallowed goal doesn't count as a shot on target?

[Baloo]

I don't believe goals count as shots on target. So, presumably neither do disallowed ones.

Own goals don't. I'm pretty sure goals do :hehe:

[Baloo]

I think a shot on target is a shot heading for goal that is either saved by the keeper or blocked by a defender. A goal is well, a goal. So it's either one or the other, not both. Maybe it's not universal. :shrug:

For opta stats, a goal is definitely a shot on target. I don't know what other stat companies are used. I'm pretty sure that blocked shots by defenders don't count as a shot on target (there is a blocked shot category).

Disallowed goals don't count. Same as a shot by a player who is called offside.

OK, I had this conversation a while back with a friend who did live in-game stats. That's what he told me anyway. I think he said blocks like Ben Davies' with the keeper beaten were treated as shots on target, but those in front of the keeper were blocks.

Yeah that sounds right about blocks.

[Colonel Cærdiffi]

Possibly :hehe:

Except they beat Croatia 1-0

[The Bob Banker Spanker]

Except they beat Croatia 1-0

I think he means within normal time
