Stop pitying teams based on what group they are in, if they can't beat them in groups they aint magically beating them in playoffs
And honestly, it's time to stop fussing over whether your team got placed in a tough group or an easy one.
The only thing that truly matters in the grand scheme of things is which team emerges victorious and gets to lift that trophy.
After all, the real glory lies in winning it all, not just making it to the playoffs!
