Soccer heavyweight nations need minnows like Australia to laugh at...

I place my bets on Korea for dead last, but would settle for the US being there.

Re: World Cup Contest
Brasil has already lost... the state has undergone huge costs, people have had their rights abridged or been downright victimized, and all the profits will go straight to the FIFA and the sponsors, without being taxed by the country.

Re: World Cup Contest
Potentially, eight teams may tie for the wooden spoon with zero points each. That's not likely to happen, but it's also unlikely that one sole team will leave the competition with zilch. I suppose the wooden-spooners could then be graded by goal tallies, but that seems a bit arbitrary unless the ratios are vastly different.FBM wrote:I place my bets on Korea for dead last, but would settle for the US being there.
On a different note, rankings are not necessarily even a vague indication of what might happen. #9 Netherlands spanked #1 Spain 5 - 1.
That's somewhat more than just a win. Steamroller comes to mind.I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

Goal tallies or goal deficit tallies would seem the way to go, or we could just go with the ones who have the silliest mascots.Hermit wrote:Potentially, eight teams may tie for the wooden spoon with zero points each.
