shane15 posted... I don't think hosts should be given an automatic 1 seed. The top 8 countries should be given that honour and the host should get a 2 seed. Netherlands was basically next in line anyways, hardly changes anything. I don't think it's an issue. --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Normally host nations tend to be good already so while they might not deserve the top seed it isn't completely misplaced. We got lucky that one of Netherlands/Germany was placed into Group A so there wasn't a huge imbalance, but it could have easily been someone like Switzerland/United States --- Congratulations to azuarc for winning the guru challenge ...

Speaking of which, because the groups will only have three teams, we can't have simultaneous matches. I wonder how long until we get a repeat of that 1982 match between Austria and West Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgrace_of_Gij%C3%B3n --- Congratulations to azuarc for winning the guru challenge ...

I'm trying to conclude which of the teams wld be the best odds for England/USA/Iran to advance over in the round of 16. I'm leaning towards Senegal > Ecuador > Netherlands. --- PaulG235 | Finished in the Top 2 of GotD2010's Second Chance Bracket Sadly, there are no second chances in the Guru, azuarc doesn't need one. ...

This was mentioned as one smaller terrible part of Qatar hosting the tournament and it's come to fruition. They had 12 years to pull every trick in the book to be not shit: infinite money, a world-class academy, world-class facilities, screwing with nationality rules and functionally bribing players with the allure of being a Qatari citizen and the associated benefits of that (free land, money, etc) to get them to play, and after all that... they're absolutely awful, the worst ever host nation and maybe the worst team to be in a world cup in the modern era. Maybe next time don't sequester your entire squad in a training camp for 6 months with no real competitive football What a fucking laughably pointless exercise. --- Not to be confused with XIII_Minerals. ...

Senegal are probably the worst of the 3 if you had to pick 1. charmander6000 posted... Speaking of which, because the groups will only have three teams, we can't have simultaneous matches. I wonder how long until we get a repeat of that 1982 match between Austria and West Germany. In my opinion the weakest team should be made to play 2 games first. If they're good enough to get the points on the board then the last game won't matter. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

shane15 posted... For how good Ecuador have been in those first 2 games they've choked here. Yeah, mostly in the first half. Ecuador was better than Senegal against the two other teams I think. They're better defensively than offensively. Today the result is very accurate for how good they've been. --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. ...

Well, that's it. Netherlands is not a bad group winner to draw I think. Senegal was better than Ecaudor in the match where it mattered. --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. ... Copied to Clipboard!
