It wasn't really a horrible own goal... the quality on the ball made it so that Mcauley had to go for it. And honestly yes the pedigree on these teams is lower but i think if you are going to say they don't deserve to be there that's rather unfair. This is the kind of comment that comes around when people barely watch anything and show up as experts the day off.. | ||

This is the kind of comment that comes around when people barely watch anything and show up as experts the day off.. Wow, calm down there No reason to get so offended? I watched just about every game, not sure what that has to do with anything. Wouldn't ever call myself an expert... are you? I'm just saying that these are teams that would have NEVER made it into the quarter finals if we didn't have the new system, as they played and continue to play very badly but - thanks to the knockoff stage seeding, we're guaranteed to have these teams (which would definitely be pushovers for tier 1 teams) even up to the semis, maybe finals. | ||

And then you went and doubled down on it. It is also incorrect to suggested that the expanded euro is to blame for the way the bracket worked out. The bracket worked out this way because some tier 1 teams played inferior to these teams in the group stages and even the ones who didnt barely scraped through their victories. (ala France) | ||

But I guess my opinion here, when I say Wales, Northern Ireland, Switzerland and Poland all played horrible football so far in this tourney, is somehow "arrogant and ignorant". So I'll keep it to myself, have fun! | ||
