But then some players had the oppurtunity to play more games in qualifying. Do you suggest like Goals per game ratio or something?
Same goes in the actual WC. Some players play more games than others, but not suggesting anything really, just pointing out the absurdity of it.
Yeah but players play different amounts of games in the real thing due to injuries, suspensions or just not being selected. In qualifying the teams might actually play more games.
For example Netherlands only played 8 games in qualifying while Uruguay played 18.
I agree thought, it's a bit stupid and the least minutes thing is the best idea.
