I don’t think the progression of a major sporting tournament being based on a decided result is the same as a game being played based on the sport being decided so the game can be played.
Let’s be honest Scotland being eliminated because of this isn’t a joke and shows terrible planning. It would be bad enough even without team being eliminated.
I don’t get what the point of your last sentence is. Makes the fact these games are being called 0-0 even worse.
