Jejima 1,299 Posted October 30, 2022 Let's look at some entry stats Yokozuna pick.... Brazil 16 France 10 Argentina 6 Half of us will have Brazil leading the squad. France has about a third of the picks, which is the right amount. Argentina is slightly underrepresented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,299 Posted October 30, 2022 Ozeki pick.... England 11 Germany 11 Spain 10 An excellent distribution! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,299 Posted October 30, 2022 Sekiwake pick.... Belgium 15 Netherlands 10 Portugal 7 A similar distribution to the Yokozuna pick, with almost half picking Belgium, Netherlands being 'just right' and Portugal slightly underrepresented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,299 Posted October 30, 2022 Komusubi pick.... Denmark 12 Croatia 10 Uruguay 10 Similar to the Ozeki pick, with a fairly even distribution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,299 Posted October 30, 2022 Upper Joi-Jin pick.... Switzerland 11 Senegal 8 USA 8 Serbia 5 Senegal and USA get a quarter of the picks (just right) - Switzerland has 'grabbed' some extra from Serbia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,299 Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Lower Joi-Jin pick.... Mexico 19 Poland 13 Mexico is slightly favoured among the two Group C teams. Edited October 30, 2022 by Jejima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,299 Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Upper Mid-Makunouchi pick.... Wales 21 Ecuador 11 Wales gets almost two-thirds of the picks - and is the most chosen team over-all for this game. Ecuador is still on a third of all squads - so will play a major factor. Oops, I missed out one category, so I will add it here, so as to keep all in order.... Mid Mid-Makunouchi pick.... Ghana 18 Morocco 8 Canada 6 Ghana is the more popular of the African teams, and gains over half of the selection picks.

Jejima 1,299 Posted October 30, 2022 Lower Mid-Makunouchi pick.... Cameroon 13 Japan 8 South Korea 6 Qatar 5 The tournament hosts are the least popular here! Cameroon is clearly the most popular. Japan is the only team hitting the perfect 25% mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Qatar 15.625% - lowest Group A Ok, it's true that most of us portuguese have zero faith on a team that starts the games with 10 players because of a bench warmer that used to be a star, has a puppet as a coach and the team selection is made by a Football Agent trying to promote his players, but it is a bit harsh to be excluded from the list of teams at the world cup...

They only have 'Tunisia' in common on their squads. I think that makes them the two most varied teams that will face off in the group matches. Also of interest is that this is the only group with special teams 'twins' - as Baku and Oshirokita have the same special teams on their squads. So, Jakusotsu might have to dust off some of the obscure tables when scoring.
