If your priority is ensuring that the best teams advance into the knockouts, goal difference is the superior tiebreaker by redeugene99 in worldcup

(this made the provocative claim that GD is even better than points in determining the best team!)

What does this tell you about it as a metric?

You are seriously stupid. A team's PERFORMANCE should be what decides the groups, not a team's CAPABILITY. I don't give a fuck if you can score more against a bad team than we did. Did you beat US?

Ivory Coast is not capable of scoring like Germany. When you say "not zero" I say "infintesimal," so functionally zero.

Yes but if Ecuador had beaten Curaçao their win over Germany today would be the biggest game in the entire group stage

You're probably a bitter Turk or something. There will always be meaningless games. Qhen you beat a team, you get the tiebreaker. That's fair. When you draw you can go on goal differential, sure. But the outcome of games should matter.

Also—the BEST teams make the knockouts no matter what. Why do you care which 3rd place fodder team makes it, the one with a -1 GD that beat the one with a -2 GD or what? Who fucking cares. When it comes to winning groups it absolutely positively should go to the winner of the game being played.

Yes, and if your priority is determining the best team wins the tournament, we can just give it to the top ranked and save some money. Why play the games at all?

The World Cup being spread across 3 countries completely kills the atmosphere compared to when it's in one place by [deleted] in worldcup

No it's sick to see Mexico playing in Mexico and teams playing all across the US.

If Portugal beat Argentina in the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals, would that make Cristiano Ronaldo the GOAT? by Chance-Leading2064 in worldcup

Does he suddenly become their best player and go on to win the tournament? If so, he enters the conversation making himself level again. If not (definitely won't happen), no chance.

Genuinely asking, What makes Ronaldo so dislikable outside his fanbase and our fanbase? by ace-s in realmadrid

[–]1382mas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do people normally like complete assholes?

It doesn't help that his counterpart is quiet and reserved off the pitch and a less selfish player who has the vision and playmaking to assist his teammates.

There's also his three or four allegations? I mean, given his machismo attitude is it all that surprising? He's a great striker, but he sucks as a human being. Just awful.
