It is not easy for a lion to score a goal.

The lions took care of the first block in a handsome way, but next are the real games ahead. Jussi Saarinen

The Lions made World Championship history at their home games. Finland missed only five goals in seven matches in the first block, which is a record for the current competition.

In this year’s tournament, no other team made less than 10 goals scored.

The World Cup has been played in its current form, in two blocks of eight teams, since 2012. Before that, it was played in four blocks of four teams.

The Lions won the group in their final match in the Czech Republic on Tuesday 3–0. This is how Finland won the B-block. Finland scored 25 goals in the first half, when the goal difference was a handsome +20.

A goalkeeper who played five of the lions’ games Jussi Olkinuora dominates the tournament goalkeeper stats. The control percentage for the straw rope is 99.03. He has encountered 103 shots and only one of them has gone online.

The record of the goals released by the lions was first reported MTV Sports.
