Subject: [NT] Mini World Cup

MWC starts this week, here is our group:

GROUP F:
Australia vs. Singapore
New Zealand vs. Bolivia

Nice...sheep shaggers...'ave it!!

should get through that with 9 points for a pass mark. Anything less than that probably means something's gone pretty wrong (either tactically or randomly generated).

Bolivia is not that weak..

who said anything about being weak?

I said we should get all 9 points, I didn't say we should beat them all 10-0. If we can't beat Bolivia then what chance have we of qualifying for a WC? We may as well not play matches.

Sorry but Bolivia is not top tiered yet and so we should still beat them.

Really Bolivia have a good striker combination and that's the only risk we'll face with our defenders. They beat Sweden who appears not to have gone in with a 1st XI and who went in with a shonky tactic with gaps in their centre of defense and that asks for trouble.

I am now under pressure :) Sure we will try to win all of them. But there is no guaranty. I will try my best. But this logic is for me wrong; if we cant defeat them so we can go to the WC.

Bolivia are only getting 75-76 avg ratings that are influenced by 2 very highly rated strikers. If you take them away their rating compares much more to ours and based on what I've seen we should win this.

Basically if we lose, we'll lose a large number of ranking points and we'll probably fail to end up with the required points to get a 2nd seed position. Then we'll need to beat a side with 78-80 avg marks to qualify and if we can't beat a 75-76 rated side it will be almost impossible to beat a 78-80 side.
