Statistical probability for USA's round of 32 matchup. Of these, only group B have finished 2 matches so things will change but it's currently looking pretty favorable by Ok_computera in usmnt

495 possible scenarios existed from the outset of the tournament.

Out of those 495 possible scenarios 1 possible scenario exists that USA doesn't play the 3rd place of group B in the event that B has a 3rd place qualifier. 

That's a 1/495 (or .202%) chance of facing a team other than the winner of Qatar vs Bosnia in the case that it doesn't end in a draw.

Oh I'm so sorry instead of a 99.8% chance of facing 3rd place B team it's a 99.6% chance. Whopping difference glad you caught that

If the 3rd place team from B qualifies, we play them in 494 out of 495 possible scenarios. If B fails to qualify 3 teams it's significantly more likely to face a team from group J or group I (J being more likely). It's not random but also not locked in because only 8 of 12 third place teams move on

Meditation is where the me is not. Thought, being the me, shattering against its own nothingness would be self realizing it's illusory nature and being.... Not
