Being devil's advocate here (and cherry-picking these scores from France 98
) but ..... assuming that the lesser teams are closer (ability) to the big names than 8 years ago, is there less chance of these kind of scores in 06 ?
France 4-0 Saudi
Holland 5-0 Korea
Argentina 5-0 Jamaica
and therefore Total Goals might be abt right
Though i do like the idea of more humidity, less action.
