I kind of like the point differential thing

Why do these points matter? What matters beyond S Sudan beating or losing to Serbia?


I'm guessing for the teams that lost alot of games, if they have the smallest differential of their losses, they can qualify to play in the quarterfinals

What do you mean cultural thing? Elaborate

Generally speaking, being politically correct and dare I say ‘phony’ is an American thing. We’re so used to it we probably don’t even recognize it. So the entire American sports media construct is ‘I ask you a softball questions and you answer with 1 of 4,5 typical responses’ (ie ‘both teams played hard)

If you color outside the lines that’s when you become a news story
