2022 World Cup Discussion

[Alan Harper's Tash]

If Walton was such a great ref., why did he make so many crap decisions, when officiating in our matches?

I think you’ve got the answer in your question.

He can’t make correct calls after seeing multiple replays. It’s less likely he saw them in real time on the pitch.

I thought all the stadiums were going to be roofed and air-conditionsed.

Southgate is basically Pulis on waistcoat.

shows waistcoat is out of his depth. if this is your game changer, hang up your Coat Gareth. Mount was the best forward on the night (i scored him 4/10)

Genuinely, WTF. You guys have a great squad and could pick a winning team to stick with, from them easily.

I’ve just seen Southgate interview where he was asked many questions about Foden.

Spineless **** is out of depth but it seems he now realises he doesn’t only play on the wing.

All of his answers about tactics are answered with emotional adjectives rather than football descriptions. Very different to Pep. I read he got his first job without coaching qualifications, I’m not sure if he has got them yet.

I got it from the FIFA World Cup Preliminary Regulations https://editorial.uefa.com/resource...minary_competition_regulations-covid19_1_.pdf

In the league format, the ranking in each group is determined as follows:
a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
b) goal difference in all group matches;
c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.
If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings shall be determined as follows:
d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
g) the goals scored away from home count double between the teams concerned (if the tie is only between two teams);
h) fair play points system in which the number of yellow and red cards in all group matches is considered according to the following deductions:
– first yellow card:
– second yellow card/indirect red card: – direct red card:

Qualifying where teams play twice, not tournament 1 game.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Qualifying where teams play twice, not tournament 1 game.

I know that and I did wonder about that but why would they have different rules in qualifying than they do in the finals? I can find lots of sites that give the criteria as I’ve posted and can’t find any that don’t. Not that it matters.

Portugal v Uruguay today, it'll be shithouse central

Bet builder red card, +6 cards in total, +2 cards each, +2 goals 22/1

 

[PragueBlue]

After just 2 games each, only France have 6 points (Brazil and Portugal could get there if they win their 2nd game today). Just shows that many of the teams are pretty equal and no real outstanding team, except possibly the French.
