Subject: [NT] USA vs Danmark

Another hard fought game, we drew 3-3 with Danmark. Heres how the table looks:

Team Matches Wins Draws Losses Goals Points
1. Danmark 2 1 1 0 6-4 4
2. USA 2 1 1 0 4-3 4
3. Slovensko 2 1 0 1 3-2 3
4. Suomi 2 0 0 2 2-6 0

Its a really close race, so anything can still happen with one game left. Good job today to the boys, just need to keep it tight for one more game to advance.

another draw and we advance?

if Slovenko won and we drew, they'd out point us by 1, wouldnt they?

and Slovenko plays Denmark

If Slovensko plays Denmark, then a draw would guarantee us through

no, nothing is for certain. we could lose, denmark could tie and have 4 points as well, and then we finish 3rd on goal differential.

Im not gonna worry about it and just play for a win.

ok you are right.

If both matches are draws, and Slovensko scores 2 more or more goals then us, then we would not advance.

Great job so far, and good luck vs Soumi.

Fro, you are the man! You nearly won against clearly superior players and I know what I'm talking about.

Uh.. no.. If Slovensko gets a point and we get a point, then we will have 5 and they will have 4 points.

Exactly, therefore, if we draw, we are through, as said.

we just need to pound the last place team and stop worrying about it :)

Dont let the points fool you though, any team at this stage is dangerous and the match still could go either way. Ill do what I can to fine tune the tactic so we'll be ready

Only the first 2 goes to next round??Isn't it??

So Suomi is out already, and with a draw or a WIN, USA will be going to next round, in case of a loss USA has to hope for a win from Danmark!!

Good job Fro!!!^_^

I must admit, I quit watching the match when your squad went down 3-0. I did a double take when I looked at the final score (and then had to watch the match from start to finish). Stokes seems to be quite the talisman. :)

I think 84 goals in 50 NT matches says it all, especially when USA haven't been dominating those games Poland style!

hes actually on sale right now, its too bad his technique wasnt emphasized more though throughout his training
