Swiss with one yellow card top Group B

(Patria) - The first round of Group B at the World Cup brought two identical results and an interesting situation on the table.

Our national team drew with Canada 1:1, while Qatar and Switzerland also finished their match with the same score.

Therefore, all four national teams have one point each after the first match.

Not only do they have the same number of points, but all selections also have an identical goal difference (1:1).

Many fans have therefore wondered how it is possible that Switzerland is first and Bosnia and Herzegovina last on the table.

The answer is very simple and there is no coincidence in the ranking.

Switzerland is at the top of the group because they have received only one yellow card so far in the competition. That is fewer than the other national teams, so discipline has decided that the Swiss are in first place.

Canada and Qatar have received two yellow cards each, so they are also completely tied by that criterion.

In such a situation, the FIFA ranking decides, and Canada is better placed than Qatar, which is why it is in second position.

Bosnia and Herzegovina currently occupies fourth place, although it has won the same number of points as the other rivals. However, after only one round played, the table does not have great significance, as much will change in the upcoming matches.

It is interesting that according to Opta Analyst estimates, Canada has the highest chances of advancing to the knockout stage with 88 percent.

Switzerland is given 82 percent chances of progressing, while Bosnia and Herzegovina has a 60 percent probability of reaching the round of 16. Qatar has the smallest chances.

After the draw with Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina has turned its attention to the match against the Swiss, which is scheduled for June 18 in Los Angeles.
