Subject: »[NT] World Cup

I'm responding to what you wrote, not what you do, please at least try to be close to logical thinking. For me you can give a walkover, why would I give a damn about it.

You act like this game was about you and Portugal and it's not, everybody understands that they are just small part of the game and one of xx national teams. You're the only person who thinks that this game is about him and his NT xD

Lots of NTs are fucked by forms & injuries every WC and the smaller NTs always are impacted by them harder because they have less players available, it's logical and obvious.

Writing is something I "do".

Regarding injuries and form in smaller teams, I've been in Portugal for several seasons, and I've never seen anything like this in Portugal.

You said: "Be grateful I was able to convince them"

This means that Raul responds to you. That you talk to him. How many people here have messaged Raul and he has responded? There's a big difference between the people on Sokker.

I'm not friends with Raul. I don't know him. So I use the forum to do the same thing you do privately.

He doesn't read the forum so you can as well be shouting at your wall.

we "talk" maybe once a year. 4 messages this year, 5 in 2025 and these are messages where I mostly disagree with what they are doing. But they do what they want, they don't listen to other people.

they made a mistake by not adapting injuries after adding another match, they don't realise it, maybe they never will. they messed up the injury ratio, they messed up stadium pitch quality by larger number of games (which also increases number of injuries), they possibly also messed up forms by increasing number of minutes played.

I'm not here for Raul to read. That's not why I wrote it.

I'm here to complain, to motivate more people to complain (just like you just did, exactly as I wanted), and consequently increase the pressure on Raul to put an end to this.

This World Cup has been disrespectful, and the minimum conditions necessary for its organization were not met.

I was complaining that IC will do that to small and medium NTs . That's something owners do not care.... Something needs to be done

Yeah, it’s like we’re in a company where the boss does whatever he wants, no matter what the workers say, and they stay silent because they depend on him...

Here, however, we can change things if we stand together—first, if everyone stops paying, I guarantee you something will change, and Raul and whoever else is there will take an interest in what’s going on... as long as you keep paying and complaining, nothing will happen :)

We have a saying: "The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on" :))

Congratulations Vietnam, a great victory!

Last week against the Netherlands you deserved to win, not lose 5-0, but at least this week Sokker has been kind to you.

Unfortunately, Spain hasn't been able to find a comfortable playing style for its players.

Let the World Cup continue!

In addition to being robbed during the last few weeks:
- Which forced Portugal to play with a goalkeeper who was so slow he was practically a turtle. All six of Portugal's top goalkeepers were absent, and clearly the lack of Pace cost Portugal their first goal.
- Which forced Portugal to play with a striker who was in form 12 and missed easy goals.
- Which forced Portugal to play with terrible defenses, resulting, for example, in a ridiculous second penalty.

Anyone who claims it's difficult to score a penalty against Sokker... then they all have to admit that Portugal was robbed in the game, because conceding two penalty goals in a 3-1 defeat isn't normal according to Sokker's experts. It wasn't one penalty. It was two!

Just hand the trophy over to Poland, who, in a time of widespread crisis, are breaking records for average marks.

well today i think you were outplayed Suomi played quite well

Suomi scored 2 goals from the penalty, and Portugal missed 3, 1vs1 chances, against their goalkeeper... even though Portugal was playing with a team E or F. Portugal would have been a contender to be World Champion if Portugal's main stars had played. Instead, Portugal is eliminated.

No one will ever again be able to say that it's rare to score penalty goals at Sokker. They do happen... but against Portugal.

thats sokker mate not Suomis fault i agree on injuries and all but respect opponent wonder if you had game like mine today what you will do and thats constant for super small nations...

I understand your pain, my friend. Personally, I was captivated by your team during the qualifiers. It’s a shame you didn’t have the chance to show your true potential at this World Cup. I wish you success in your upcoming matches. The most important thing now is to pick yourselves up and rack up wins until the end of the season.
Honor and respect!

your whining is epic and I enjoy it almost as much as Krysztof's World Cup topic.

Keep it up!

That's it. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind words.

I think the chances in today's match and last week's were quite balanced for both teams.
And perhaps, Sokker's random algorithm will decide who gets luckier.
Our group is quite high-quality, so it's hard to say anything for sure.

The final round will be very important as you'll be directly facing Netherlands, and Vietnam will likely struggle to get any points from Romania.

Let's wait and see. Good luck to all of us. Cheers!

Wow what a robbery for Moldova!
Italy was very-very-very-very lucky today!

Good bye WC for this season!
