That's the only argument really.

On the other hand, North Macedonia could finish on the same points as either Austria or Ukraine and yet are already doomed to finish bottom.

They could beat Holland 6-0 and it makes no difference.

Surely it's a system that kills off teams unnecessarily early and is also a little complicated to follow (in a way that GD isn't).
