Soccer/Football Thread Part 4

[CanadianFlyer88]

The soccer gods were unkind to help Scotland clinch a spot in a major tournament for the first time in a quarter century only to be placed into a group where they will inevitably lose to England (*barf*).

They've already found themselves on the wrong end of the highlight of the tournament. By some miracle, I hope they can pull off a 1-0 win tomorrow off of a Kyle Walker own goal. Preparing for an ugly 3-0 loss, though.

Please don't gloat too much tomorrow.

If you win and we lose all our other matches in the group, what is the decider? Our CZE-SCO game, or the score? I would be pretty pissed if you still somehow jumped over us!

I'm not going to gloat until it's over. We really should win comfortably but football and in particular tournament football is the great leveller. We just need to avoid the hype and just play our game. We beat Croatia handily, Scotland aren't as good.

I believe the qualifying criteria when tied is:

1. Points
2. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
3. Goal difference in head-to-head matches between tied teams;
4. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams.
5. Goal difference overall;
6. Goals scored overall;
7. Most wins,
8. Best disciplinary record,
9. Highest bribe

So that could be fun.

Number 9 could be advantage for post communist countries, wooo

I'm sorry. I was reffering to my countries peoples.

Where are you from?

 

[BritainStix]

Where are you from?

Wales, and we stand with our celtic brothers.

I'm only minutes from the Welsh border, but yet you stand against me.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Did Souček lose any header attempt in 2021? Heh

MLS' Union to take on Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham

Wrexham AFC, which is owned by actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, will head to the United States for a preseason friendly against Major League Soccer side Philadelphia Union in July, the club announced on Friday.

The club, which finished eighth in the 23-team National League, has been outside the English Football League (EFL) since relegation to the fifth tier in 2008.

McElhenney and Reynolds, however, promised to turn the club into a "global force," which included a £2 million cash injection upon completion of their takeover in November.

Wrexham will meet the Union as the showpiece fixture of a five-day training camp on July 29.

Last 15 minutes = Hakturtle against Hakturtle... Beautiful. I would have accepted the tie had I been offered it before the game though

You better believe it.

I’ll be burning these houses down if we lose.

Rainy Wembley increases the chances of a Kyle Walker own goal.

Oh no! Walker is not in the starting 11. Scotland has no chance now.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Pathetic defending, but Scotland gets extremely lucky.

A good 10 minutes followed by a dreadful 2 minutes.

 

[kudymen]

Wet field combined with aggressive, motivated players.. this will be fun. Hope nobody gets injured though, heh

 

[kudymen]

Also, I had no idea Draco Malfoy played the right side for England

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Damn. Nice save, Pickford.
