Of course it is LS! The most infamous WC 0-0 'bounce match' was Austria v W Germany @ Spain '82 to the detriment of Algeria (sensationally beat the the Germans in the 1st group match) and final game group matches are there to be deliberately manipulated to gain an advantage - one of many similar iffy final group games down the years but that one was an absolute disgrace and worthy of some kinda FIFA retribution!
