Subject: WC Qualifications

Yes that's what I meant :p. Thanks for the correction ;).

I think Scotland getting a point has finished you off properly. You already needed a 4-0 win over Colombia, now i'd say you'd need 10-0.
This is going to come down to goal difference

yep, we had to rely on England, and well whenever you rely on England, you know it's going to backfire :p.

We will just go out and try and finish 3rd in our group for the sake of it. That draw with Bulgaria was incredibly frustrating given how much we dominated, and looks to have come back to haunt us.

I'll remove the teams who have tied up 2nd place. It's only Mexico's group where it's up for grabs.

and once again, it turns out Aus are in the league of death :S

down to the final round unfortunately.

Lucky I know what the tactic wll be given certain circumstances :D

@hallenser
We lost against Poland 1-7. But the result was to high. 2-5 would be a fair result.

I am sure my tactic was good. But there is no really chance against triple-divine strikers and midfielders. 4 individual mistakes leaded to 4 goals against us. I am a little sad :( :(

Pawlusinski, who made 6 goals out of 7, is not 3x divine :P

OK, then only double-divine and one time unearthly+x ;)

Biggest problem was that shadow made a mirrored tactic first time this season :(

And he only made 4 goals ;)
(edited)

Hm...actually 2x divine + almost magical :P

You've made a great tactic, which nicely stopped our defs, good work. Though I would move one of the wingers to centre, no use in 2 wingers in one game IMO. I was quite surprised because I generally don't see such a good Pawlusinski in his club games...little bastard ;)

NAH! :P

Scored 4, made 6 :P

4 goals, one assist[dribbling past someone, running between two, passing to Baszczynski] and he got one penalty, finished by Baszczynski :)

Austria is out...

We are so sad, it was really hard game against Bosnia. We had surely 5-6 100% chances to score. And the result was 2:2. 1 goal more and we would have qualified.

Yes, Pawlusinski was great. Man of the match of course.

If one of our wingers would be positioned more central, he would have been tackled every time.
I hope you have noticed our Wingers are only 22 yo. They will get much better next seasons! I'm looking forward in an optimistic way. :)
Also our defense made a good job. And most of them are quite young, too.

If you would move your wing def to centre, then polish winger would get through him. Couldn't do much better than that, except changing one winger to normal mid.

Generally a really nice game, I think. :)

someone knows when we will know world cup groups??

Saturday of week 1.

România 1 : 1 Brasil

We qualify from the first place in Group A. :)

Uruguay - Indonesia: 3-0

kept it to 0-0 till half time
then they scored a silly goal (or great, depends on how you look at it)

81th minute: 2-0

90th minute: slow keeper (well doh, he is 18yo) and 3-1

Indonesia ends the group with 13 points and takes 4th spot as expected.
GD of -18 (18-36) is not that bad in group with France, Chile and Uruguay. Never conceded more than 7 goals a game, so another happy me :p
And we scored against France, which makes this a well deserved WCQ campain for me :)
