How f—king stupid.

Bracket ties are decided in the World Cup by the score differential. Hence why there is no mercy rule. It’s good football to run up the score as high as possible.

On the bright side, I’d like to congratulate America on reaching the Israeli status of “everything you do is wrong.” It’s definitely something we have in common.

You at least understand why they did what they did. It's obvious few people do.

Yes it sucks to get drubbing like that, but the differential in later play does not award "sportsmanship points"

Yup, the rules as you’ve described, seem to support the strategy they implemented.

Plus they aren’t in grade school with parents all over watching.
