England have a better chance of doing that with a good draw.

Knockout cup tournaments are not the same as leagues which are a better measure of the winner's quality as that is consistency over 9 months not 4 weeks. Cups will not always go to the best team. Look at Germany.
So the World Cup is just sensationalized bull**** so people can brag that their team got to the semis or the quarters or the finals, regardless of whether they deserved to get there?

What are you going on about?
If you score more goals than your opponent you deserve to progress to the next round.
You don't get awarded more goals based on how good your opponent is.
You beat what's in front of you.

This is some rationalized bull****. You should be celebrated for being the best, not for racking up the most points in pinball.
