You don't get awarded more goals based on how good your opponent is.
You beat what's in front of you.
Well Batty certainly does!

Lol Exo doesn't read this thread.

As I said it's knockout format.

How about we just award the trophy to the team with the best squad?
Or the best kit?

Not sure if guys understand what a knockout tournament is.
They probably think it's to do with boxing or something.

Also you are acting like it's no marks who make it to the final which doesn't happen.

One mistake and you are out. It can actually be argued the flaw of league format (which is what you're arguing for) is that it's more forgiving to mistakes and allows teams to rectify poor performances over 38 games as opposed to 7. A poor performance in a World Cup knockout = eliminated and you may never get the chance to play in it again. Guys need to grab that opportunity and prove how good they are in the moment.

And I want to see England win something. It's our national sport and a lot of people would be happy. If you don't get it you don't get it.
Why are you feeding the troll?
