I know it happens every WC, was just pointing out that there are in fact big gaps in the groups.
I think Bosnia is pretty clearly the second best team. Iran's 10 men behind the ball and Nigeria's good luck eliminated them though.
This group sucks and so does the one with Japan and Greece. For that matter the Belgium group kinda sucks too.
It's been an exciting tournament but there are some ridiculous disparities in the groups. The group the USA is in and Italy's group are just stupid.
Iran hasn't played Bosnia. So their 10 men have made no impact on them so far unless you are suggesting Iran should have beaten Nigeria. Bosnia has crapped their own bed.
I know. It ain't gonna happen. But it'd be fairer if the teams were weighted based on rankings and assigned to groups that way. Then you would't have groups of death and weak sister groups, and you'd have better match-ups in round 2. It would tend to make group play a bit more predictable, but it'd be fairer.
I was suggesting that Bosnia is eliminated due to how the schedule/points fell in the first two games. Bosnia didn't play the best game in the world yesterday, but they deserved a point against Argentina and got screwed yesterday.
That would be awful. FIFA rankings are already a disaster and you want to rely on them more, even when they are juiced to favor uefa and conmebol? Predictability isn't something most people care for in their entertainment.
Hell of a finish by Musa
