Match Day Thread WC Group C

[Cityzen]

Didnt you say goals arent the most important the other day?

No. And I was the one who first said that BINs were the only stat that mattered when the stat obsessed ones were going on about xgs and possession and other stats.

 

[Amin Arrears]

I am not talking about you at all and I'm not sure why you thought I was.

Wasn’t many other people still up at 1am saying Scotland probably shouldn’t even be there anyway

Although I didn’t watch their game so I guess that does rule me out.

I invented BiNs. FACT.

 

[Amin Arrears]

Southampton and Middlesbrough scored more than us last season in the Championship,never got them anywhere?

Let's face it,this last 8 to qualify is a farce that has turned the tournament into a farce and this farce will probably continue until the last 8.

I can see the round of 32 starting to get interesting but there will still be a fair amount of complete mismatch ties. I think the round of 16 should be fairly typical by that point, the odd surprise package, the odd surprise heavyweight eliminations by that stage but mostly mid and top tier teams.

I did. FACT.

As I've already pointed out,it wasn't aimed at you.

I can do no more than point that out and if it still doesn't register there's very little I can (or want) to do about it...

 

[Amin Arrears]

Another problem with this format is that it is pretty unfair. 8 of the group winners get to play a third place team yet 4 of them have to play a 2nd place team. It looks like those 1st v 2nd ties are already set how does that get decided?

At the very least there should be an incentive that the 8 best group winners get to play the third placed sides.

I accept what you say, I was merely mansplaining why I thought it was.

 

[Edelman]

Transitioning through the thirds?

Yeah it appears that hitting teams on the break is now a transition

 

[Ullofaman]

Three things stood out from this game:
(1) Scotland will not win the World Cup
(2) Brazil will not win the World Cup
(3) Brazil could receive a thorough spanking a lá Germany style the further they proceed.

O.K , thanks for this

Isn't a ball in a net a goal anymore?

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

just seen the jocks
Classic Rosenior

 

[Phin T Bookbinder2]

Brazil face second place in Group F, which will likely be Japan or Sweden (can't see Netherlands losing to Tunisia)

Would love to see Japan do em.
