Three points come to mind.

  1. Does the survey give the difference in injury severity between October and January for a non-world cup year by way of a control?
  2. How many of the injured players in January actually went to the World Cup?
  3. 88 recorded injuries is in no way a big enough sample size to draw any firm conclusions.
