Don't over-chase and open up the game too much.

2-0 is a dominant, dominant position. I actually spent an afternoon looking this up a couple of years ago. The stats vary slightly but you've basically got like a 2-3 percent chance of coming back to win at that point.


Yeah 2-0 is normally a dominant position to be in, however I’m not sure if it’s from watch the Prem but I’ve seen so many teams mess up a 2-0 lead and usually I’d feel comfortable at 3-0


Definitely. Bigger the lead, the harder it is to blow. :D

And obviously, the earlier you grab it, the more time your opponent has to come back. We've all seen examples. Liverpool's 3-0 comeback in the CL finals however many years ago still sticks out. Our brains are hardwired to remember one negative event over 10 positive ones. I just don't think a lot of people realize just how statistically improbable it is, hence the cliche about the most dangerous lead in football. It's the exact opposite, in fact.

I know Brazil likes to dance, but prob should explore making some subs and just playing possession from now on. Go into the next game super rested lol.

Why is Paqueta at West Ham? It's like buying a Lamborghini and only driving it in a swamp.

With the excessive dancing, I really hope Brazil lose in this tournament. For that reason, I see them winning the cup.

It’s culture. Tradition. That’s how you know you’re no OG lol.

There's just nothing in football like a good Brazil team firing on all cylinders.

Some of you guys are hilarious.

They dance because it’s a big part of their culture and tradition. It’s not like they’re shimmying in front of their opponents’ bench. Get my jig?

I LOVE a confident Brazil side that dance after they score, showboat/embarrass their opponent. It sucks it had to be South Korea to be the victim since they are a likeable team, but it almost feels like football is complete seeing brazil like this.

I knew that it'd suck for Uruguay to go out.

At least if Uruguay were destroyed, we'd be seeing some massive brawl.

I hope we can bog them down into the mud and battle in the trenches and deliver another ugly win for Croatia :nod:
