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.

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 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.
As I've already pointed out,it wasn't aimed at you.Wasn’t many other people still up at 1am saying Scotland probably shouldn’t even be there anyway

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...
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.

Yeah it appears that hitting teams on the break is now a transitionTransitioning through the thirds?
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.

BBC article whilst not calling it out, talks a lot of sense as to why this set up with 3rd place teams is utterly **** for fans, Scotland fans now in limbo for a few days, no idea if they're staying or going home, and if they are staying could be playing in one of 3 different locations. When a tournament is being playd across a continent this just isn't fair or good enough

You have 4 days post game not knowing
So you still have to train
I'd get on a plane now coz the permutations to get through are mega hopeful at best and all self inflicted .
How the **** have var not got involved in that goal.

didn't hurt us in the play off final, but then we're a **** hot team, proper striker and a top manager, not a bunch of cloggers with **** strikers and a **** manager like the Scots!
