Similar team to last week, hopefully we'll score more goals than the swiss got, 6-0 I think was their scoreline. In an ideal world the Swiss will drop points to USA this week too.

no Haylock = booo

7-1, although to be honest alot of chances were missed, which was pretty gutting.

anyway, well done Coach norwichcitynil

Well, thanks for all the positive feedback :). Switzerland beat them by 6 goals, so at least we've kept up with them. I didn't want to change too much to give gameplans away to the managers of better teams. But I should really bring the defence back a bit, after they went 1 ahead I started to worry a lot !

especially as they only have 6 users. the score should have been in double figures :)

a) Before today, Luxembourg had scored 5 goals (1.25 per game), and conceded 20 (5 per game). So double figures would have been twice as good as anyone else had managed.

b) you're an idiot.

double figures would have been twice as good as their average result not their worst result

the best anyone else has managed is actually 8-0

therefore double figures is only 20% better than anyone else has managed

I stand corrected. Thank the lord for pedants.

Did I mention we're top of the group after playing everyone once ?

a) Whatever

b) Whatever :)

have a nice evening :)

Whatever.

You too.

My turn to be a pedant now :

the best anyone else has managed is actually 8-0

therefore double figures is only 20% better than anyone else has managed

2 goals better than 8 goals is a quarter better, or 25 per cent.

Am I right, or have I shown up my lack of maths skills ?

Another nice result, well done and keep up the good work. :)

It is 25% better.

It depends on your POV, if you'd have won 10-0 you'd have 2 goals more, or 20% of 10, so I can see where the 20% has come from, while I think you're right I'm not completely sure on the wording one would use.

I think had you won 8-0, and the best was 10-0, then it'd be 20% worse, as such it would I think it should be 25% in the initial scenario.

Oh and I managed to use "one" in a posh way without thinking about it, I'm a little worried.

no, it's 25% better - I miscounted.

Cartman - if you're not careful you'll get forcibly evicted to solihull.

Vancian - pedantic was a little strong, sorry old chap

Mattius - you're still an idiot

Everyone - after the USA beat the swiss 5-4, we are now 5 points ahead of 3rd, with 5 games left. 3 wins and a draw gets us qualified.

I thought pedantic was accurate - I take it as a compliment
