Hypo: You join French World Cup team. WC played 100x. How many wins? Goals?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 16th, 2026 12:45 PM Author: Nazca Redlines For the hypo, you will join the French team for the 2026 World Cup. One of the 11 spots on the field each game is yours only, at all times. In other words, either you are playing, or they're a man down (not factoring in ejections).
The tournament will be played all the way through, then reset and played again for a total of 100 times. All injuries, fatigue, etc. get reset each time.
Of those 100 times the tournament is played, how many times does France win the World Cup? Right now, France is +450 to win the World Cup, implying about 18% odds.
In those 100x times through the tournament, how many goals will you score? |

Date: June 16th, 2026 1:27 PM Author: Nazca Redlines At minimum, I'd pull one of the other team's defenders away and make them play 10 on 10. They can't just leave me unguarded by the goal. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5874688&forum_id=2Reputation#49942060) |

Date: June 16th, 2026 1:58 PM Author: golazos in abundance Lmao false. You would score zero goals and you would lose every game except against some incompetent micro nations. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5874688&forum_id=2Reputation#49942085) |

Date: June 16th, 2026 5:06 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Wrong on both counts.
First of all, soccer sabermetrics-mos say being man down is worth around 1.5 goals per game. France, the favorite to win the WC would beat lots of teams playing man down/would beat a lot of teams if they needed to spot them 1.5 goals.
Second, I'm tall, athletic, and played a little ball in college (a real American sport, not soccer). I would 100% contribute to slowing down the other team on D and would 100% be a threat to score, especially if left uncovered. I'd play midfield, btw. |

Date: June 16th, 2026 5:37 PM Author: golazos in abundance You would not be able to score it defend even a little bit. Any top flight professional would blow by you or pick your pocket in terms seconds. You have neither the speed nor the skill to do anything on the pitch.

Date: June 16th, 2026 2:29 PM Author: luiskandarnameh (🧐) no, I would make my own team play worse if I exist on the field. they would almost certainly have a better chance of winning if they just ignore me and try playing a man down (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5874688&forum_id=2Reputation#49942127) |

Date: June 16th, 2026 2:33 PM Author: lfo very cr, except I think hovering on defense allows you to be marginally more useful than being a man down, and you improve over 100 matches. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5874688&forum_id=2Reputation#49942131) |
Date: June 16th, 2026 1:00 PM Author: .,.....,.,.;,.,,,:,.,.,::,...,:,..;,.., I'd play goalie and just stand there the whole game. fifa soccer decorum seems to frown on taking shots on goal under any circumstance so i'd be fine. I would aimlessly punt the ball if it ever came my way. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5874688&forum_id=2Reputation#49942036) |
