Looking at the fixture list for the world cup...Conspiracy theory no 0800 44,44,44

Taking a view from before the start of the tourney...I noticed that in each group, apart from one, the most important fixtures in determining the final outcome of the group all fall in the final round of fixtures. The only group not to have the important fixture at the end...the host nations group. Good for Tv builds the excitement up a bit

Group B Eng vs Swe
Group C Ned vs Arg
Group D Por vs Mex
Group E Cze vs Ita
Group F Cro vs Aus
Group G Sui vs Kor
Group H Ukr vs Tun
