Scoring off corners.

[Abou Sky]

When was the last time that TFC scored on a corner kick?

Isn't it kind of concerning?

Take the numbers for what they are worth, but the average goal scored off a corner has a massive margin, its roughly 1 goal to every 36 to 70 corners attempted. But it really depends on what analytical website you read.

The chance that a goal will be scored off a corner kick appears to be roughly 3%.
Michael Caley at the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fancy-stats/wp/2014/06/17/what-is-a-corner-kick-worth-in-soccer/) recently analyzed a set of nearly 13,000 corners taken in the English Premier League between 2011-2013, finding:


Only 17 percent (2,157) "produced a legitimate shot attempt."
Of those shot attempts, 370 were goals.

*****Also note that these stats are from the EPL

Interesting.
Almost makes you think, "why bother?".
Why not play it out from the corner instead of launching it into the box?

Amen Brother!

You spend 100s of hours practicing set piece delivery and corners, with an outcome like 3% on corners, makes you go ummmmm......

Part of the rules. Chug a cup of goofy sauce pre-2-ball-penalty.

Wow, I never knew the odds were so low. When Canada beat Honduras in '85 in St. John's, both of our goals were on corners - our boys should have gone to a casino afterward!

[Abou Sky]

It depends on the team.

I remember SKC scoring a goal every game off corner kicks a few years ago (Collin, Kamara+).

I don't remember us scoring from a corner this year, we must be under 1%

I don't understand why we don't just play it short and try to start something, draw guys out etc.

How can you not remember this?

Another off the top of the head is Moor against Vancouver. I'd bet there's another 1-2. I'd say that's average.
