Gotta say I find it a bit strange too. B finishes before A, D before C etc.
Quote:
Louis van Gaal has taken aim at Fifa for “playing tricks” before Holland’s game with Chile to decide which of them will top their group and probably avoid Brazil in the next round.He criticised Fifa over the scheduling of Brazil’s final match against Cameroon, suggesting it would benefit the host country, and also questioned the standard of refereeing in Holland’s two matches to date. “Fifa, for every match they have this advertisement around fair play. Fifa plays these tricks. It’s not a good thing. It’s not fair play,” he said.
Brazil’s first two matches had been scheduled before Holland’s but the hosts’ final game against Cameroon is played after the Dutch face Chile.
