Wait, hold on. This piece says Pakistan must win their clash with India to keep their World Cup campaign alive, and I don’t buy that entirely. Pool D has four teams, after all. If Pakistan loses but the remaining pool games end with specific goal margins, they could still sneak through on goal difference. It’s a long shot, not a zero shot. That absolute "must win" claim feels too black-and-white. As someone who designs cities accounting for all variables, I know you can’t rule out every edge case just because it’s unlikely.
