That's just the World Cup format. It favors the "anything can happen" result. I say this as a naturalized Brazilian, but you play back Arg v KSA 100 times and Argentina are winning that 90 times, drawing 9 and losing one. The stars just aligned for Saudi Arabia. I'm still happy as shit they lost.
If the World Cup followed a double round robin/two-legged tie format in the group/knockout stages like many FIFA leagues the results would be far more predictable and there would be a lot less intrigue.
