As you can see among Rugby World Cup rules there is one as follows:
'Teams are awarded four points for a win, two points for a draw and none for a defeat. A team scoring four or more tries in one match will score a bonus point, as will a team who lose by seven points or fewer.'
It means there are... nine possible ways of point distribution!
win-lose
1) 4:0 e.g. 13:5
2) 5:0 e.g. 30:3 (tries: 4:0)
3) 4:1 e.g. 13:10
4) 5:1 e.g. 30:24 (tries: 4:3)
5) 5:2 e.g. 40:34 (tries: 6:4)
6) 4:2 e.g. 30:24 (tries: 3:4)
draw
7) 2:2 e.g. 7:7
8) 3:3 e.g. 30:30 (tries: 4:4)
9) 3:2 e.g. 30:30 (tries: 4:3)
Maybe something similar in football?
'Teams are awarded two points for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat. A team scoring three or more goals in one match will score a bonus 0.5 point, as will a team who lose by one goal.'
Looks good!
In May 1996 Bayern Munich won UEFA Cup, in June German national team was the best in European Championship tournament. Famous English football player Gary Lineker said "football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win". He was absolutely right, Germans were one of the strongest countries in football world, next year Schalke 04 collected UEFA Cup as well as Borussia Dortmund dominated UEFA Champions League. But that was all, May 1997 was The Big End of Golden Age for Germans. Next 13 years were so painful. In crucial moments those, who always used to win became whose, who are always losing.
