Soccer/Football Thread Part 4

Good half. Feels like it should be 1-1, but I don't think Scotland could have expected more from themselves that half.

Two minutes of poor defending almost put them behind, but they had good chances themselves on either side of those two minutes.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Different England already.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

A lot of good looks for England already. Going to be a stressful half hour.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Oh, man. Dykes robbed off the line by James.

Might have been going wide, actually.

 

[kudymen]

Whooaa James..

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Adams.

Take your time, young man.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Sterling has an argument there.

I hate tight games decided by penalties. Please don't do this...

Phew...

 

[kudymen]

I could never be a ref, with all those loud screams and somersaults after mini-contact, I would make the wrong call 50 % of the time

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Scotland will be pleased with their effort and would have been devastated if they didn't take any points here. England has generally looked bored but better in the second half.

Live to see another day.

Commentary said that was the first ever 0-0 draw between Scotland and England in England. Crazy.

Wasn't sure if Grealish was playing football or attending an Olympic diving trial.

One of the single worst performances I’ve ever seen. Jesus Christ.

 

[Curufinwe]

Pretty hopeless effort from England.

That was actually one of the few calls I would get right Guy flew away like a paper airplane

 

[TCTC]

England played like a team that was afraid to lose. Courageous performance by Scotland.

Billy G is a boss.


Can't wait til we sell him, too.

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.

Today I found out that number 9 is actually UEFA ranking/country coefficient. So basically you were right

 

[kudymen]

Hungary is going full Greece today

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Germans look much better today.

 

[kudymen]

Germans look much better today.

Except Müller. He is still ugly

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Nevermind.

 

[kudymen]

Heh Ronaldo is having quite a day

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

The football world will be a better place when Ronaldo retires.

 

[kudymen]

Nevermind.

Mind again

 

[ellja3]

Both GER goals were OG by POR, right? Sheesh
