Re: Simulate the WC Draw and Post Your Results
On a different note I'll try place the relative strengths in each Pot.
Pot 1 - Germany, Brazil, France, Argentina, Portugal, Belgium, Poland, Russia
Pot 2 - Spain, Croatia, England, Uruguay, Mexico, Switzerland, Colombia, Peru
Pot 3 - Denmark, Sweden, Senegal, Iceland, Costa Rica, Egypt, Iran, Tunisia
Pot 4 - Nigeria, Serbia, Morocco, South Korea, Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Panama
It's always subjective, but that's partly why it's fun.

The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

That thing is bool-sheet. It had England beating Denmark in the final to become world champions.
Egypt beat Brazil in round 2, Sweden beat Argentina, and Poland knocked out Germany in round 2! 7 of the 8 QF teams were from Europe, and Spain did not get out of the group phase. Nonsense.

Re: Simulate the WC Draw and Post Your Results
I keep getting favourable draws. To be honest, as long as we do not get Spain in Pot Two, we will be fine. It is a travesty that Poland is in Pot One and Spain is in Pot Two.

Re: Simulate the WC Draw and Post Your Results
From what I can see, we will need another giant-killing act of this magnitude:
1998: Nigeria 3-2 Spain
2009: Nigeria 1-0 France
2018: Nigeria 4-2 Argentina
At least this time we are preparing, not just hoping.

Re: Simulate the WC Draw and Post Your Results
I wouldn't doubt that. Except for Tunisia, I truly feel that the African teams will give a good account of themselves. My only concern is for the North Africans and their usual stage fright when facing their lighter skinned cousins. Algeria's performance last time around should hopefully give them the conviction that anyone can win given the right outputs.kajifu wrote:I expect 3 African teams in the next round and 2 facing each other in that knock out.
