Subject: [NT]World Cup Qualifiers
So, new season of WCQ has kicked off.
Anyone noticed some upsetting results / facts yet?
My pick:
1) Hungary - Estonia: of course both nations are top teams, but I did not expect this result nonetheless
2) Algeria - Guatemala: let's have a 70+ rating team as 6th seed :o They might battle for the 3rd spot (seeing Scotland's poor tactics and Singapore being of same strength)
3) Spaing being hammered 8-0. The red card might be part of the result, but still ... notice Belgium also played a GK for 60 minutes on a central defender position.

and he was man of the match:)
after 2-0 and red cards, Spain started to play better than before.

it's not the first screwed up result of this WC.
anyway, almost took 3 points against Austria, but a missed penalty costs us 2 points. Still everything is possible with same nr of points and only -4 GD compared to them :)

nah... it could be 0-3 after 10 minutes. What a save from your gk after a header from 7m and than we miss a 1:1 before the 0-1 in minute 10! Than you injured my best MID in minute 17 and his replacement was a winger, that changed the game!
Next round will decide! x and goal difference at the end would be interesting too ;-)

Nobody forces you to play a winger as back up mid.
If you play 3 CM and 1 winger ... I'd surely go for a CM on the bench ... ;)
Btw, I know it's not really true in sokker, but a penalty usually goes in, hence the 'it cost us 2 points' :)

We doesn't have that much decent MID's right now and the game plan was to create chances by the winger so the risk to play with a DEF MID at the winger position was too big so i decided to take a winger as 1st replacement.

but it's still Sokker ;-) somehow i knew he'll miss it! AND usually a 1:1 goes in too so if it's 0-3 after 10 minutes it would have been OK too. But 1 point each at the end was finally fair even i was sure to win after first 44 minutes!

Draw for WC will be on 27th of June.
Groups were more balanced than ever I think. Uruguay qualifying with only 17 points must be a record. Belgium is the only team that won all WCQ matches.

"Uruguay qualifying with only 17 points must be a record"
Group L was one of the toughest groups, due to three strong teams (Italy, Uruguay and Swiss) and two tactically strong managers (cranber -Cyprus and PREK -Pilipinas). Till round 9, every of these teams had realistic chances to qualify!

In Group O, the country that finished bottom Ozbekistan managed to get 7 pts from the 2 qualified teams as in those 4 matches they managed 2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss. I doubt many groups can say that !
I think i qualified Latvija with the same number of points in the past.
