[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 949263, member: 65365"] I agree with a lot of this. World cups are complete nonsense. But it doesn’t mean we should get rid of them. They are a great spectacle where a number of teams who aren’t necessarily the best can claim the crown. Sport is only popular because of the randomness factor, whether people admit it or not. It’s what creates the illusion of competition when in reality one team will be better than the other despite what one result may suggest. But given sports have this random factor it does mean one tram can play above themselves and win, and that is a heroic thing that we all like to watch. So yes world cups determine very little about who is best but they are great spectacles and all teams go I. With the agreement that the winner will get bragging rights for winning the most important competition. So as long as people recognise that World Cup winners aren’t necessarily the best teams but that they still deserve kudos for winning the World Cup, all will be right in the world. I mean, except world peace. [/QUOTE]
