The groups are not random.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Pool H
Portugal 87 @ Israel 99 - two contenders in this group with a result that is slightly worrying in terms of team ratings and tactics


Slightly worried is what I'm feeling right now. Thanks for the support :P

Somewhy, this season outside attack benefits more than inside attack..

Poland lost to Portugal, while Poland played with more effort.
France lost to Israel, with a 20 point margin, the same effort.
Lithuania lost to Hungary, while Lithuania played with more effort.

While it might indeed look like group H is way stronger than group G, results this season indicate otherwise.

I believe that people making this comments didn't look at the facts so thanks because I was preparing myself to say that. Of course that group G is stronger but not that stronger as people may think.

@alexFerguson

I believe that team ratings really need an update so the problem might not be in the tactics used. Having my starting forward injured in 1st Q and 2 other key players with foul problems in the first half had way more influence. That's why I'm just slightly worried. Maybe bad luck maybe bad tactics. Sometimes people just need to learn that loosing is a part of sports.

Sorry for my rusty english.

and what's the problem? In real life sports some teams are more lucky and others are totally not. Every time, the international competition is held, there is the stronger groups and the weaker ones. and there is one group, called in russian "the group of death"(I don't know its english name). the same situation is here. there is no sense in complaining to random, don't you think so?

i hope they are, at least the seed in the first round ;)

Else we get the sitution that 3 of the four best seeded teams get in the same group, even if they win their qualification group. if this systematical, the seeding algorithm need some work.
