Re: Thoughts on the World Cup Draw
jgunnip,
you said "(Italy-Czech match plays after US-Ghana)" Is this true? In the past they play the 3rd matchday matches at the same time to eliminate any sort of advantage of playing later. This is precisely because a team will play differently if they know they need a draw versus maybe needing to win and a team will play differently if they may need a draw than if they're through.
I don't see why they would change that.
Puzzled,
Jared
