SPECIAL COVERAGE: FIFA WORLD CUP 2018
Overview: From 13 July 1930, when Montevideo, Uruguay played host to France's 4-goals-1 defeat of Mexico and USA's 3-goals-nil shutout of Belgium in the first two FIFA World Cup contests, through 13 July 2014, when Germany defeated Argentina 1-goal-nil with the sole goal in the 113th minute in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil in the most recently completed FIFA World Cup tournament, a total of 836 FIFA World Cup matches have been played. As a change of pace from its standard best-of-7 MLB, NBA, and NHL playoff series coverage, WhoWins™ presents the following table of in-match historical victory probabilities, as meticulously extracted from statistical summaries of these previous 836 matches. For a given lead (of one goal, two goals, three goals, four or more goals, any number of goals) and a given minute of the match (1st through 45th; 48th through 90th), this table tells you how many times the team holding a given lead after a given minute had won, lost, or tied the corresponding match. See the end of the following table for more information.

Example: So, for example, look at the row for the 6th minute and the column for a 1-goal lead in the table just above. From it, we can tell that (in the 836 previous FIFA World Cup matches) when teams held a one-goal lead after the 6th minute of the match, they notched 65 regular-match wins, 19 regular-match losses, and 17 regular-match ties for a 65/(65+19+17) = .644 regular-match winning fraction and a (65+17)/(65+19+17) = .812 non-losing (winning or tying) fraction. By "regular-match," we mean all match play (regulation time, injury time, post-regulation extra time for tied matches) prior to any shootout. Thus, some of those regular-match ties may have been broken through shootout penalty kicks, but such tiebreakers are not reflected by our table. Note also that the 46th and 47th minutes have no rows in our table. Results for these minutes were not displayed due to ambiguities caused by goals scored during first-half injury time in the 46th and 47th minutes of the first half.
