Deathray 2,941 Posted June 28, 2018 England v Belgium could be a hoot, with both teams better off losing or drawing and having more fouls. We've had the Disgrace of Gijon and the Mediocrity in Moscow! Will we soon witness the Kookiness in Kalingrad as both teams attempt to lose whilst attempting to look like their attempting to win. Or it could just be more fun if they all agree switch ends and try and score own goals all match, as that would actually be more beneficial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Punchline being team who manage to finish 2nd and get the easier route somehow manage to lose 3-0 to Japan anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could have tried to restore their pride by getting a comfortable win but they all just stood in their own half and let Japan knock the ball around in their half for 15 or so minutes, utterly disgraceful football. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not exactly on topic, but in 2002 I think, Eurosport showed every game in full coverage from the 78 WC with Archie MacPherson commentating. It was great. Off work on holiday, in pub at 6am in Broughton Street sitting watching game after game. I wonder if they did it again with other WC's in later years. Woooooooof. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted June 28, 2018 And I'm sure I posted afore re contrived results. There was an Irish League team in the 90's I think, that on the last day of the season, if they'd drawn or won, would have saw them relegated. It was a 2 year average thing to decide placings, and surprise, they lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
