Yeah, Groups E and F look better in retrospect now that we've seen how those two have done.

ITV commentators talking about how this could be an embarrassment for Portugal when Morocco has already beaten Belgium and Spain and is close to reach the semi. This isn't England possibly losing to Cameroon in 1990, guys.

This isn't about Portugal going out. This is about African football history.

You just cannot legitimately dislike this result. Even as Portugese it has got to be a consolation. I would think that if it was my country.

Group F with two teams in the semifinals

....I guess I should respect Canada more having to deal w/ them (and Belgium)

Edit: fun fact, 1962 FIFA World Cup is last time (possibly only time - not going back farther to check) two teams from same group met in finals. Granted Croatia/Morocco finals feels impossible at this point but hey, plenty of surprises so far...!

Question: if Croatia goes out in the semifinal, do they get ranked above Netherlands/Brazil/Portugal even though they would finish with fewer points? 1 win plus 4 draws puts them on 7 points right now, the same as Japan and below every losing quarterfinal team.

Yeah you always finish above teams who went out the round before. That being said the semi final is special as all 4 teams play for the positions via the final or 3rd place match.

As with South Korea and Germany, they both finished with 4 points, but since South Korea reached the next round, they are ahead of Germany despite having -3 vs. Germany's +1 goal differential.

Oh yeah I guess someone should make a form of x-stats for this. Not through the pure percentages method which is extraordinarily unfair to teams who get shut out but maybe based on some combination of percentages with goal differential.

It's definitely something that sounds interesting, but I feel like this would be super complicated to do without explaining in detail the process/calculations. I would personally feel like it would be somehow easier to just look at the performances of each team and what their opponents did afterwards and then simply make assumptions.

For example, for 2018, England wouldn't even be in my top 5 despite finishing 4th and Croatia might not even be in the top 4 despite being runners-up.

Mbappe/Walker is the key duel everyone talks about, but I am worried about the Maguire/Shaw side on Dembele contra runs because while his goal scoring isn't great, he can certainly assist.
