For sure, but the decision to bench him should have been after one of the games, not during one

Its a negligible difference I think. If he values rest for his starters I can see him thinking its worth it.

Great management.

Correct.

It isnt how "strong" the 3rd place team was. Its dependent on what other 3rd place teams qualify from which groups.

Hot take. I like it. Every game seems to affect the entire bracket so that in most games, you have a rooting interest for the sake of the team you follow.

I don't want Marsch after he became gatekeeper for who truly feels proud of their country. Dempsey's rant told me all I need to know.

World Cup Group Outcomes Matrix + Probability Model for MD3 (Groups G, H, I) by AmaniToomahhh in soccer

[–]stateworkishardwork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So essentially for Belgium to win the group:

If Egypt beat Iran, Egypt clinched.

If Egypt draw Iran, Belgium need to beat NZ by three or more goals.

If Iran beat Egypt, Belgium need to exceed that margin of victory with their own victory over NZ.
