Like Champions League a few years ago when Liverpool inexplicably won (you’re welcome, Locke!), but more often than not it’s not a weird bounce or odd events that turn the tide.
In contrast a sport like hockey has a lot of luck and a single game is much more difficult to predict.

Teams win 1-0. How is that not random. The difference between the best and worse teams is one or two goals and some of those are on penalty shots which are ridiculous. Harry Kane ####ting the bed isn’t some indictment on the entire English soccer system. It’s luck.
