And I think there also the fact that some yellow (or red) card are tactical fouls, blocking the opponent from going towards the goal. Then it’s some sort of reward for teams who prefer playing instead of blocking game making fouls.
Portugal out, so no “Simpsons prediction”, Spain out, so no “Guga’s dream prediction”.
Now, if only France, Brazil, England and Uruguay could do me a favor and lose, I’d be grateful.
It’s been a good tournament for under-dogs so far…
Also now most of the favourites are all on one side of the table (Uruguay, France, Brazil, Belgium), so one of the teams from the “weaker” side (Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Croatia, Colombia, England) will be in the final.
