sigesige00 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) The World Cup Group F shows that the 3-point rule is wrong. Slovakia -- 1 win, 1 draw, 1 defeat, goal difference -1 New Zealand -- 3 draws, goal difference 0 How can we evaluate Slovakia higher than New Zealand? New Zealand did well more than Slovakia. The 3-point rule was introduced to reduce draws, but that would be a different matter (larger goal mouth, abolition of offside, more strict fouls, etc).

redandyellowallover Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 How can we evaluate Slovakia higher than New Zealand? Because they actually won a game? Beating the, albeit poor, world champions to boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKennan Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Isn't the point of a points system to reward success/goalscoring/attacking football? New Zealand could have drawn til the cows come home. Nearly as bad as watching Thistle for most of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZ Jag Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Isn't the point of a points system to reward success/goalscoring/attacking football? New Zealand could have drawn til the cows come home. Nearly as bad as watching Thistle for most of this year. You leave poor wee New Zealand alone, ya big bully! NZ massively over achieved, given their playing resources. They were nowhere near as technically gifted as any of the teams they played, but they were well organised, worked hard for each other and defended well. That doesn't sound like Thistle to me It was up to other "big" teams to break them down and beat them, which they couldn't. As for scrapping the 3 points for a win, that's just crazy talk.
