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. The best one is Barbados v Grenada. Barbados scoring an own goal in the 89th minute to take it to extra time so they could score another goal which was worth 2 goals and meant they won 4-2, as they needed a two goal margin of victory to get through. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbados_4–2_Grenada_(1994_Caribbean_Cup_qualification) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,590 Posted June 28, 2018 Japan are the only non European or Central/South American team left in. Considering some of the awful teams that have been at this World Cup are they really suggesting 48 teams in future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,067 Posted June 29, 2018 What surprised me was the lack of analysis by the England supporters on here to their defeat. I felt Southgate gave his players a run-out to see how they would perform, pressure off, yada,yada. Which is fair enough...you'd rather Rashford screwed up in this game than later...and boy did he deliver those screw-ups! Despite Lineker and Co's comments, I thought Pickford was ok in goal..he was never stopping a world class strike and the team played well enough. Belgium looked more confident though imo and were better on the ball. Fair result. I'd rather England were facing Japan...as sadly Columbia are one of my picks to win the whole thing (heal, James Rodriguez, heal!) along with Switzerland and Croatia. Mexico too if they perform better than they did in that last game. Just my tuppence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
En Passant 3,743 Posted June 29, 2018 I'll do analysis if you like and I know nothing about football, only watch once every 2/4 years. England B isn't up to Belgium B. Politics suggests he had to play them. Now he can tell them to sod off because they were crap, sit on the bench - go on when we tell you. We won't win it all, and for once the expectation has been curbed (at least until now). Put the A team out on Tuesday and we may do ok against Colombia. Further that that? Unlikely aside from the fact that nobody bar Brazil (who started shakily themselves) really looks to be in another league. England A is 11 or 12 players (clearly from today when we go outside that, its not there yet), there are better teams out there, but none I've see so far we couldn't beat on the day. Will we win? No. But effort over expectation will do for me. As to why no analysis? Don't know. But i'll put my head over the parapet, as if my previous post didn't. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not only that, but we've managed to get a Celtic fan, a Clyde fan (!!) and 2 Thistle fans, too. Barring Queens Park, the only 2 of the Glasgow clubs no to have any fans on here are the old Rangers and 2012 new Rangers.

Because with a win or draw, England took on Japan then Brazil and Argentina/France/Portugal. With a loss, they take on Colombia, then one of Switzerland or Sweden. Now it's England, who are right shit at knock out football (3 wins in the last 13 tournaments, 6 in 26 since 1966!) so they probably wont do anything with it, but that's a gift horse of a draw that you'd expect any top nation to wheeze through. Colombia are tougher than Japan (and England, likely - def start as faves) but, barring murdering the useless Poles, haven't looked that good so far. You know, like drawing Iceland at the Euros, as France showed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,480 Posted June 29, 2018 17 hours ago, Deathray said: Absolutely disgraceful from Japan. “I’m not too happy about this but I forced my players to do what I said. We did not go for victory, but we just relied on the other match. I view that it was slightly regrettable but I suppose at that point that I didn’t have any other plans." - Japan manager. Funny in a way that they went through on the Fair Play Rule, for giving up, when Senegal have been ousted for essentially trying to win the games. No idea why Poland played along. As if they felt that was the only way they'd get a World Cup win. Wont be missed. No offence, Rad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,727 Posted June 29, 2018 Unfortunately for GS when they lose to Colombia then this World Cup will go from giddy excitement to miserable post mortem. The glorious victories over Tunisia and Panama will become a scrape through and a victory over worst team in tournament (which they were) followed by two defeats (no better than usual). In other words if they don't beat Colombia then this tournament has been just as bad as all the other recent ones and this glorification of how the England team has changed forever and the wonderful things that have made this happen will all go up in a puff of smoke and embarrassment.
