- jimbokun 16y agoAlso, after watching a little more football, I can now watch a 2-0 match and see how that result can be just as decisive as a 35 - 7 victory. (One more tip for the Amercian Football fan: multiplying every score by 7 is a good way to convert to something more familiar, kind of like converting Celcius to Fahrenheit.)

In 2006, the average world cup combined score was 2.3 goals: http://www.insidescience.org/current_affairs/best_team_not_guaranteed_world_cup_success http://www.insidescience.org/current_affairs/best_team_not_g...

- sandipagr 16y agoIs it really? How about the US comeback after going 2-0 down? And it does happens a lot.
- hazzen 16y agoI believe the grandparents meaning is that a 2-0 final score can be viewed as a crushing defeat, not that a 2-goal deficit is an unrecoverable situation.
- sandipagr 16y agoI am not sure about that. Scores of 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 are the most common scorelines. I would say difference of 4 or more is more crushing
