Terrible take. Turkey shouldn’t advance over a team they lost to.

Have you considered that the USA strategically played soft to protect their team from potential injuries because it was a meaningless game, and Turkey played as hard as possible because, having been eliminated, it was in their players' best interests to make the most of their final showing in this year's World Cup?

Brother why would GD matter over results?

But you could make an argument that Turkey played an easier matchup against a USA team with no incentive to win. Should turkey advance over a team that beat them because they scored more on a B team?

The head-to-head rules make perfect sense. You do not deserve to jump ahead of somebody that you lost to based on your performance that you had with other teams

head to head should always be the first tiebreaker.

If you loose you deserve to finish below that team. That’s a perfectly reasonable rule in my opinion. If my team beat a another team and they qualified because gd, I’d think that’s stupid

So what a team does against other teams is more important than what they did against your team???? Head to head is the best and first tie breaker in every big sport. GD should only be a tie breaker if they didn’t play each other.

I mean but they played eachother isn’t that a better way to decide who’s better?

Goal differential is completely overrated. Punishing a team for potentially just 1 bad game is a little absurd. FIFA actually has it right finally using head to head as the main tie breaker.

new system makes perfect sense, you should be rewarded more for beating the team you're directly contending with rather than just running up the score against mediocre teams

So “if” this happened and “if” that happened…but they didn’t. And if the tiebreakers were still GD, teams would have played the last game differently. Such a nonissue.

I like the head to head better. If you beat that team, you should not go below them by goal differential.

Head-to-head is a clearly a better tie breaker than goal differential. If you want to move on, beat other teams.

If Paraguay beats Turkey why does Turkey deserve to be above the team they lost to? Because they scored more goals? Head to head is undoubtedly the best tie breaker.

Why would a goal differential ever take precedence over head to head lmao

H2H is way better. Why would it be more fair for a Türkiye team that played USA backups to get in over because the Paraguay team that played starters? Paraguay beat them. End of story. Also, when teams are losing, they are incentivized to try to score instead of playing for goal differential.

But Paraguay beat Turkey straight up so who cares about goal differential?

Head to head over everything, if you beat a team, you’re better than them insofar as tournament rankings should be concerned

Head-to-head should definitely matter before goal. Differential, that literally shows who's the better team

Head-to-head is by far a better tiebreaker
