They did win their way in. They won 3 points in their first game, and a forth in their second game. They earned those points.

comeon man I'm not soccer hating here.
Whether a team make the playoffs with a 7-9 or 8-8, start hot and finish cold or whatever extreme example you would like to give, they still "won" more games than their competition.
Successful Soccer is not based solely on winning matches. It is what it is.
