Who /4d chess/ here?
While Montenegro have been playing checkers and didn't even notice that Mkhitaryan was almost "surpsingly" inactive on the field we have been playing chess all along
2018 WC is over, our group is doomed to have the worst 2nd place team so pretending to care now is the same as chasing after the bird in sky. What really matters though is the 2020 Euro and boy, is the Nations League qualification going to play a big role in that.
By intentionally lowering our ranking we would be able to play in Nations League Division D, the winner of which, may I remind you gets a spot in the Euro's.
In fact you might've not noticed, but our fellow Hungarians are doing the same tactic, since all the other Division D teams are fodder - as of now it seems that the Division D final would be Armenia vs. Hungary, a big game for big minds and for a ticket to Euro 2020, woohoo!
Post other examples of intelligence being used in sports!

>Both teams knew that the winners of the game would face hosts Vietnam in the semi-finals, while the losing team would face surprise group winners Singapore
>During injury time, despite two Thai defenders attempting to stop him, Indonesian defender Mursyid Effendi deliberately scored an own goal, handing Thailand a 3–2 victory.[2] FIFA fined both teams $40,000 for "violating the spirit of the game", while Mursyid was banned from domestic football for one year and international football for life.

I've seen this shit too and I wondered about that
You can literally qualify for the euros if you're the best team in tier D (where all the shitters like san marino and gibraltar are)

>tfw have been scared that others would use this tactic too which will defeat it's purpose since Division D would be filled with both the GREATEST and the SMARTEST national sides
