Everyone has their opinion. I like the fact that Hattrick lists the probability of win/tie/loss after the game. The worst loss I've seen was a team who had a 83% win chance / 14% tie chance / 3% loss chance. That is a fluke.

I wonder what the USA NT vs. Canada NT games would be. Probably not 3% chance. Even then, 3/100 times is not 0/100 and this one just happened to come at worlds and that's why it stings. Lucky for us, unlucky for you.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I will point out for the record that I haven't looked at the USA-Canada game here at all and I wouldn't know if it's a fluke, a mackerel or a pocket eel. But Hattrick's odds of victory aren't from HT itself, but the Foxtrick extension and they are pretty fuzzy - they can't predict anything about special events, aren't great about counter attack and don't take into account that HT's game engine is slightly less of a soccer simulation than the board game Risk.

And can't calculate how much bacon a player consumed during the morning before the game.

I think that's the point Coco is trying to make. The odds were in the USA's favor. The fact that you beat those odds is, as you said, luck and nothing else.

Miami was heavily, heavily favored against Dallas in the finals a couple years back. Luck? No skill at all right?

No one here has disputed that, except some characters in your imagination and in the imagination of a couple of American users who like Canada better and believe they can make Beanerz like them better if they say gross falsehoods about me.


This isn't about my comment in the Czech Republic PR thread, is it? Because if it is, that's not the way I wanted it to sound.

The characters in my imagination are far less than the number of users apparently under your skin. Get over it.

Let me get one last poke in and now let it go.

I don't think there's much more that needs to be said about this, and many more things that don't need to be said that will nevertheless come out if the thread stays open. Hopefully we can all just let it die, or someone can close it.
