HanoiVillan Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Remembering when people were treating a Twitter account saying England had a 75% chance of getting the 5th spot as if that somehow meant something . . . oh, all of about ten days ago now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I take the wider point you're making, but we could still have ended up in exactly this position even if that 75% figure had been calculated with the utmost scientific precision (in fact, there'd be a 25% chance of it happening). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I mean there's two points really, first that 75% is not 100% (as you say), but then also secondly that people were acting and talking as if the number mattered more than the reality of the fixtures. I don't know what the number of games is where looking at a statistical average of a dataset would be more useful to just predicting who would win a group of matches, but it's far more than the 5 ties that happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powehi Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Probably been posted in dribs and drabs over the last six hours but just to put it all down in a simple statement: For the 5th place to go to England in the coefficient 1.Villa need to win all three games in the UECL (not just progress) 2.Germany need to get less than a win and a draw across six semi-final matches for their teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
