Here's the charts, we all love charts

Group E


Group F


Hoping for funny wins for Japan (possible) and Costa Rica (unlikely) as well as whatever is needed for MAROC to go through. Blegum not winning (guaranteed) I guess. Canada can score a goal if they like, as a treat.

This Belgium team have to challenge the England "golden generation" for biggest under performers in internal football right?

The group stage formats haven't been settled enough to really compare across world cups

Been the same since '98, before that is a different world

e: and they're loving it all up next time so let's all enjoy good groups while we can (until tomorrow)

my favourite park of this post is that you pick any 3 players on the field and they make a triangle

Before Pep invented the triangle football teams used to play in lines like table football

There's talk that they'll go to 12x4 instead of 16x3.

That's still stupid because then you have a load of third place teams going through. Eight out of twelve in fact.

Eight groups of six would be slightly better but also very dumb.

32 teams or if you absolutely must expand it go all the way to 64.

Ah, nice. I thought it was only the part of the ball touching the ground

Sometimes none of the ball is touching the ground
