OT: Soccer thread

We beating Peru or what?

On paper we should but who knows what happens.

Have to put the ball in the net tonight and they haven't done that under JM.

and France fucks it up.

kinda good for Italy as France looked like the potential semis matchup if Italy could get by SWI next round and (please god it would be awesome) ENG in the quarters.

yeah it's one thing to put in good performances against FRA and ARG with zero expectations......but now there are real expectations of getting results against Peru and Chile, so we'll see if they can come through.

agreed on paper, we should definitely beat Peru, and probably Chile too.

 

[zeke]

england playing with fire.

Does a tie get Slovenia in?

 

[zeke]

possibly

 

[CH1]

Slovenia jumping up and down like they’re in

 

[zeke]

well let's see. best 4 3rd places go in.

4 official 3rd place teams so far, they have to finish ahead of two of them:

1. NED 4pts, +0gdiff
2. SVN 3pts, +0gdiff
3. HUN 3pts, -3gdiff
4. CRO 2pts, -3gdiff

so yeah Slovenia clinches.

 

[zeke]

Croatia has no chance because every team in group E are already on 3pts after 2gms, so the 3rd place team there will finish ahead of them for sure.

Hungary has a chance still. The Group E 3rd place will likely finish ahead of them, but in group F both CZA and GEO are only on 1pt so the biggest worry for Hungary is CZE beating TKY tommorrow. Then again, if CZE beats them big then maybe TKY falls below HUN too.

 

[zeke]

but wait - DEN and SVN are tied on pts, goal diff, and goals, and tied each other head to head.

Why does DEN finish 2nd and SVN 3rd? I dunno.

 

[zeke]

lol they were also tied on yellows and reds.

and on their qualifying performances.

so they had to use UEFA ranking as the tiebreak.

 

[WellPlayed]

We don't look so hot.

 

[CH1]

It’s a dog’s breakfast

 

[lecoqsportif]

Looks like the linesman was overcome by the heat.

 

[CH1]

zeke, pls stop crunching the Euro tiebreaker numbers for a second and provide everyone here with some false hope

 

[worm]

Weak headbutt imo

 

[CH1]

Weak headbutt imo

Putin got to you too, eh?

 

[CH1]

30 minute power play for Canada!

 

[lecoqsportif]

Weak headbutt imo

Maybe, but that was an insane tackle.

 

[zeke]

This is embarrassing.

Marsch is probably a fraud.
