I’ve never been a soccer fan and barely paid it attention. But I’m sitting in my hotel room in Mobile watching TV and I just noticed something on the scrawl on SEC channel while watching a replay of the Arky vs Mizzu football game….

Germany 4
Costa Rica 2

Logic would dictate that winning a game means you advance to the next round. But somehow Germany was eliminated BY WINNING, I’m guessing because ghey reasons since soccer is a ghey sport.

What sort of so-called sport holds it preeminent tournament where a team can win and the result is they’re eliminated?!?

Soccer is stupid.

So your opinion definitely matters and will most certainly be unbiased.


And this is coming from someone who doesn’t watch soccer either.

Did you know that some NFL teams that win in the last week of the regular season don’t go to the playoffs

By winning they prevented Costa Rica from advancing…Germany had nothing to play for either way

You waste more time gathering pics of women daily, that is terrible use of your time.

I'm convinced you pay for porn.

weird to specify World Cup soccer. The only meaningful soccer if any is the World Cup. It’s the creme de La crème of worldwide sporting events.

They weren't eliminated "BY WINNING". It's based on points you accumulate playing in 3 games. They had 1 win, 1 loss, 1 draw just like Spain. Spain had a bigger goal differential which is the tie breaker.

It’s a tournament. 4 teams per group. There are points awarded based on the results of each game. Win=3, Tie=1, Loss=0. After the first round, the two teams with the most points in each group advance to the next round of the tournament.

I watched the last 20 mins of the US- Iran game and the faked fouls/injuries was fricking insufferable

As has been said repeatedly, they weren't eliminated "by winning"; they were eliminated in spite of winning. Of all the complaints someone can have about tournament soccer, I think this might be the least logical

They weren’t eliminated BY winning, dumbass lol. They have 3 games in the group stages. 3 points if win, 1 if draw, 0 if they lose. They had 4 points and got beat out by Spain due to the tiebreaker.

Never heard of pool play, eh?

And we wonder why the rest of the world calls us "ugly Americans."

Well then, by all means, your opinion must be shared.

You paint plastic toys for fun. You can’t call anything else stupid. Sorry

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
