Curious case of Fifa World Cup, Austria vs Algeria

Possible outcomes of Austria:

Win: face Spain

Draw: face Spain

Lose: eliminated

Possible outcomes of Algeria:

Win: face Spain

Draw: face likely Switzerland, or Belgium, or England / Croatia / Ghana

Lose: eliminated

Purely from game theory perspective, draw seems to be best possible outcome and Nash equilibrium, since Austria doesn't have preference of winning or draw, and Algeria might have more incentive to draw to avoid facing Spain. Interesting to see how it will be actually played out in the match.

Petition to actually shut down the sub if USA wins the World Cup

We have seen what they are capable of. This USA team is a monster. Even without LeBron James of soccer they destroy whoever comes to their path.

We have seen enough of shut down the sub jokes, but shutting it down should actually mean something and it should be reserved for exactly these kind of scenarios. Can you even imagine the humiliation we all get if they win the World Cup? Yanks coming here and making fun of us?

I still hope someone will step up and stop them. But if it doesn't happen.... we all had a good run boys, let's go with dignity!
