Or how about this.......the very 1st match of this world cup was between Russia and Saudi Arabia........now look at the groups...there are 32 countries......4 in each group.........so there are 8 groups.....they letter them..........there are 4 Muslim countries in group a and group b.......
Conversely..................per the match schedule Nigeria plays Argentina....for their final match of the group stage......two strong teams........and b/c neither has qualified def.....they have to play hard....increasing the chances of exhaustion, injury, etc.................subtle ways to cheat....
For stategic purposes.....why might u want to play the strongest team last?? Russia has 6 points......even if they lose to Uruguay in their final match.........it doesn't matter.....they have already qualified for the playoffs......so has Uruguay....both countries could rest their top players before the playoffs start...............exhaustion, energy.......all of it matters..............all 4 teams have played two matches...........no matter if Egypt of Saudi Arabia win their final match and win big......of course they play each other....................they are out of the playoffs mathematically......in soccer, a win is 3 points.....a tie is one point......and a loss is zero points......with 6 points, both Russia and Uruguay have already qualified.......so if they wanted to fix it so Russia wins it all......cheating........and the tournament IS in Russia, which has never won a world cup......that would be crucial......it is like the NFL or NBA.....who rests their star quarterback or point guard, or center......at the end of the season.......it is not worth risking an injury to the top players.......and also your players are fresher.....with the rest.........also.....if the rest of your opponents are really tired from just trying to qualify for the playoffs in their last match.....u have a competitive advantage over them........

U will rarely ever see Germany lose an important match until the semi finals or the final......in the 95h minute?!?!?!? 1st of all.....for those who do not know soccer.....it is not like basketball or our football....the NFL....American football.....where the clock stops a lot......in soccer....football as the rest of the world calls it.....the clock NEVER stops.....no matter what....what the ref does is add time.....he notices all the dead ball situations....substitutions......injuries.....maybe one of the lights in the stadium went out, etc......and she or he adds time on......5 + minutes of stoppage time is rare.....4 minutes of stoppage time is rare......it is usually 3 and below.....sometimes none...............95th minute........means after the 5th minute of stoppage time..........which means that the ref added 5 minutes.................of course.....to give Germany ample time to score.....u do not have to win every match of the group stage..........u just need to have enough points to be one of the two to go on...............i remember Spain in 2010....lost its very 1st match....then won every match and took the cup.....in the playoffs...u lose once......your gone.....the two semi finals losers play for 3rd place.....the only team not to lose in the playoffs takes the cup......
