It did get a lot more interesting – but there is a saying in Australian football that if you are going to take a loss, do it right before the big game…
Thomas Muster also once said of opponents he had a tougher time of beating before the French: “you don’t show your opponents everything you have right before the French…”…(and I’m paraphrasing wildly)…
I could be wrong (and often am), and for the sake of the history books I also wouldn’t be unhappy for the Fed to collect the full set…
