I've watched every single game so far, and the ONLY game that wasn't sold out was on opening night in Guadalajara, Mexico. South Korea vs Czechia had a few thousand unsold tickets. Every game played so far in Canada and the USA has been sold out. And it's interesting that English Vloggers are having a GREAT time! Enjoying our people, our food, and our culture. Don't believe all the negative stuff. It's mostly bullshit!!
Lots of empty seats at the Niners stadium, looked a third empty

CHECK THE TABLE!!!

Heaps of Scots at the local pubs brilliant atmosphere.
My local was full before 9 am lucky to get seat.

But that is how the table is laid out. Your statement inferred that Qatar were leading the group which is WRONG, and it was an attempt to diminish the fact that Scotland were actually the top of their group.

Not at all, they are top because Brazil and Morocco drew, and for what it's worth I want Scotland to qualify as I always have

So them drawing with Switzerland doesn't count, and neither does the rules governing points and goal differences, in constructing the group table

I like your thinking could save Leeds if they find themselves in a relegation battle next season

A bit of a joke Curacao, 24/25 born in the Netherlands, only Chong from blunts born there, but grew up in the Netherlands. Basically a Dutch B team. No wonder they qualified ahead of Costa Rica and Honduras.

There should be a rule really that say 10/25 have to have been produced by the country.

I'm not sure which alphabet you're using, but B usually comes before C.
Switzerland are actually top of the real table, due to having the least yellow cards.
