摘要

Set pieces decide tournaments — roughly a third of World Cup goals come from dead-ball situations. This page explains how we identify each team's primary corner, free-kick, and penalty takers.

The dataset lives at data/wc2026/set_piece_takers.csv (one row per nation, 48 total). It is produced by scripts/build_set_piece_takers.py from on-disk FBref Big-5 player-season tables; no network is required.

corner_taker_secondary, _id, _volumeThe next-highest squad member. Surfaced because real teams often have a left-foot / right-foot split between the two corners.
penalty_taker_primary, _id, _basis, _recordHighest-pk_att squad member in their most recent season with any PK attempts. _record is formatted "<made>/<att> in <season>".
