A Normal against Italy+GDP+correct tactic+luck was the only way they have a shot at winning this tournament. That plus not normalling 2 games where they lost by a combined 50 points earlier on. It's very obvious their coach decided that they shouldn't try to win the tournament, but getting 1 scalp while achieving a mediocre result and improving the ranking by a couple of spots was enough. If you specifically think that aiming for mediocrity is a good choice then we have a very different view on things.

Now tell me: if they won against Italy on a Normal vs TIE, would they have a higher chance to win the Serbia game? Managers, and especially U21 managers where there is a level playing field, who don't even try are just bad. If you lose because of GS or poor training that's life, you know you did your best, if you lose due to wasting Enth left and right is just a poor coaching effort.

Also, if you make the case that a CT v TIE give you a fighting chance it's beyond dumb and incoherent to then claim that NOR v TIE gives you 0% chance like you did. It will give you a lower chance but not 0%. And, as I already pointed out before, CT v TIE will give you a MUCH lower chance to win the follow up games (although still not 0% even in that case).

Hey Lemon dude, listen to this guy! He understands basketball

He might understand basketball , hence why i am not surprised he doesn't understand buzzerbeater.

Nah people who understand basketball would understand the stats and how the game against Italy makes no sense from a basketball point of view.

Considering Cletus said both these things, I think he does not understand much of anything on the subject discussed here apart from infinity:

I'd love to see them actually run this game 99 more times for posterity's sake...I'd guess [the results would be] around 96-4 or 97-3.

A NOR against Italy and it's a loss 100%.

According to him if you use CT instead of NOR, your chances increase infinitely: 4%/0%=∞.

All fake news Lemon, fake news!

You just can't stand that I gave the simple facts as to why Holland won, in two sentences, while you couldn't in 2742 posts.

You just can't stand

Why would anyone care about Holland? A nation who managed to lose all 3 world cup finals in its most popular sport. I mean Italians lost 3 too, but they have 4 wins. As the Italians would say: "zero tituli".

You just don't like winning and don't understand basketball, we get it. There is nothing to worry about. Perhaps you should stick to korfball though. Oh yeah I see the problem: since nobody else on the planet play that sport, I guess you may accidentally win at it!?
XD

The delusion is big with this one L:)

....The manager of the Dutch U21 team may not have distributed their ent in the best way during the season, but he sure did the right thing to CT Italy, and he was very lucky!.

;-)

but he sure did the right thing to CT Italy.

Certainly not sure. Its opinion whether he did or did not. I don't think its right to say anyone isn't entitled to believe differently to you.

By the way, saying he won doesn't mean he was right. Its irrelevant.

So how big of a chance would you say they have to win with a CT vs a normal in that game? And I guess what others may think is right probably is the most irrelevant as it is the Dutch NT Coach who only can say what he thinks is right for his team.
As it looks to me though he was willing to risk it all in order to be able to get an extra game. Something he also got.

Evidently he does not need big results to be satisfied..... I hope (for him) that even those who voted him are satisfied!
