[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 758877, member: 57663"] Not to mention it also had the 9th ranked team which added to the strength of the pool. Anyway, good luck with this guy! For anyopne that can reasonably digest information, this is what wiki has to say about groups (pools) of death: [COLOR=#252525][FONT=sans-serif]A [/FONT][/COLOR][B]group of death in a [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stage_tournament"]multi-stage tournament[/URL] is a [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_tournament"]group[/URL] which [U]is unusually competitive, because the number of strong competitors in the group is greater than the number of qualifying places available for the next phase of the tournament. Thus, in the group phase, one or more strong competitors in the "group of death" will necessarily be eliminated, who would otherwise have been expected to progress further in the tournament.[/U][/B] [/QUOTE]
