I will agree with you there, till some point.

Good game anyhow, actually both!

Congratulation for Ireland!

I feel we played a really good match with each other. There were lot of goal options at each sides.
In my risky tactics the Irish strikers tackled well the Senegal defenders.
I am hesitated on a 4 defender system before the match, but after then I didn't came with this.

Both tactics were very risky. I love games like this because there's so much going on.
A fair result would have been 8:5 for Ireland :P
Thanks for the game, it was a pleasure playing with you!

A lot of surprises today!

And the best XI of today:

World Cup Group Stage – Round 2 Report
By Krzysztof

Dear Sokker fans and supporters of national teams,
The second round of the World Cup group stage is behind us, and it’s time to sum up all the action, drama, and surprises this week has brought. Let’s dive right in!


Group A
Unfortunately, Portugal once again failed to deliver, suffering a heavy 0–3 defeat against Chile. It was a well-deserved victory for the Chilean side — no luck involved, just pure quality on the pitch.
Despite such an impressive win, Chile cannot yet be certain of qualification, as unpredictable Vietnam is still close behind in third place. Switzerland also remains in contention, so with all four teams still having a chance to advance, the final round promises plenty of excitement. No clear favorite here — anything can happen!

Group B
And here comes the first real shock of the tournament — Germany is out after just two matches!
Azerbaijan achieved a historic feat, defeating Germany 2–1 and securing their spot in the knockout stage alongside Serbia. What a story — congratulations to both teams for advancing!

Group C
Another surprise in Group C! Many of you had tipped Greece as one of the dark horses of this World Cup, but their performances have been disappointing so far. Instead, Uruguay became the first team to secure qualification — bravo!
Spain and Norway will fight for the remaining spot, and the question is: can Norway pull off an upset and eliminate Spain in the final round? It’s going to be fascinating to watch.

Group D
Poland, seen as one of the tournament favorites, still has a tough fight ahead to qualify from what looked like an “easy” group.
The Netherlands played superbly to hold Poland to a 2–2 draw — a phenomenal result for the Dutch team. Now everything depends on the decisive final round:
Poland vs Israel and England vs Netherlands.
All four teams still have a chance, so Group D is wide open and full of tension.

Group E
Romania has already booked their ticket to the next round — congratulations!
France and Bulgaria will battle for the second spot, but even Hungary, despite two defeats, still have a mathematical chance to qualify. The decisive matches will be Bulgaria vs Hungary and Romania vs France — three teams, one remaining place. This will be a thrilling finale to Group E!

Group F
Congratulations to Brazil, who have already secured advancement to the knockout stage.
Behind them, we have a fierce battle between Ireland, Argentina, and Senegal. If Argentina fails to qualify, it would be one of the biggest surprises of the entire tournament. The final fixtures are:
Brazil vs Senegal and Ireland vs Argentina.
Who knows — maybe Senegal will deliver the biggest upset of all?

Group G
Well done, Italy! The Azzurri are already through to the next round.
The second qualification spot will be decided between Bosnia, Sweden, and Russia.
The final matches — Italy vs Sweden and Russia vs Bosnia and Herzegovina — are almost impossible to predict. This group will go right down to the wire!

Group H
Sadly, the USA have been eliminated after losing 1–3 to Belgium, though they fought bravely until the end.
The last round looks incredibly exciting — one of the tournament favorites might soon say goodbye!
Fixtures: Turkey vs USA and Belgium vs Czech Republic.
Turkey appear to have the easier path, but the Americans have nothing to lose and could surprise tactically. The real drama, however, will come in Belgium’s clash with the Czechs — that game will likely decide who advances.

Summary:
Round 2 gave us plenty of emotions and surprises. We’ve already seen two major disappointments — teams that let down their fans — but that’s football: someone has to lose for others to triumph. Keep your heads up; maybe next time fortune will smile your way.
Congratulations to the teams that have already advanced: Azerbaijan, Serbia, Uruguay, Romania, Italy, and Brazil — you did it in style!
As for Poland, the situation is getting tense… could there be another surprise on the horizon? We’ll soon find out!


Stay tuned for the decisive third round — the drama is only just beginning!

Congratz to you for giving such a good review !

The Netherlands played superbly to hold Poland to a 2–2 draw

the game was much easier than playing vs 10 men England, but this time finishing and lost goals were ridiculous
