HopOnBaby Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Pretty much every group built to a crescendo - is it just recency bias, or are final matches not usually so routinely exciting? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not at the World Cup, but 16 team EUROs were always full of drama. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astafjevs Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The last two or three groups yeh. A and B final games weren't that exciting. Nor was France's group. Posted it in the other thread, but the big teams resting players I feel opened it up a bit over the last couple of nights. They were willing to risk either 1st place or qualification altogether so that they could give some guys a rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, A and B weren't as goal-a-minute, but both Senegal and the US managed to turn around their positions in the group to qualify, while France losing is always fun and it was a lovely moment for Australia to get through.

Mickybricks14 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I think only Qatar and Canada were knocked out after two rounds and only France, Brazil and Portugal were through. so plenty of teams had a chance of making the knockout stage with the right results Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMLF Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 These final group stage games were great but I am glad the knockout stage is finally starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
