Note that only scheduled matches with both teams known at calculation time are incorporated in this analysis.

Why are the min. points for Belgium 1685? I = 25 for both of their matches yet min. points are 61 points lower than their total before September (1746). Same for France, etc.
ReplyDeleteWell spotted, Anon. I made a mistake. Fixed now.
