      Blame no, but that style doesnt make for great football matches (unless its the NK midgets trying to hold out against mighty Brazil ).

        They would have to draw lots, assuming goals remain equal between Chile and Switzerland.
        At this stage you can come up with all sorts of scenarios-- Wouldn't the Swiss have a good chance to defeat Honduras as well? My bottom line is that Spain has pretty much put themselves in a position where they need to win both their remaining games. I believe the scenarios where a team gets through with 4 points when there are two teams with 3 points already, get a bit too far-fetched

        • France going out? (again)

          Comment


          • ah well ,from three games I got my correct score in the first one, so obviously in French case, as I predicted a draw, there could have been only one result ... btw, was not France with Uruguay in the group in 2002 as well?

            In any case, bye France and what a good penalty from Blanco

            • Not a fan of Mexico (they are the US's hated rivals), but this does make CONCACAF look better, so I'm torn.

                  Chile/Spain is now the most important game of that group. If Chile wins, then Spain is out, and Chile and the Swiss are through.

                  Yes, you are right that the Swiss are favoured to beat Honduras, but so far Latin America has been extremely strong.

                    • No.

                      That opens up Group B nicely.

                      USA USA USA! are the foulingest. Good start. We haven't had a proper ruck yet this year, and this match could well deliver.

                          • The USA haven't played well in either 1st round match and are pretty much ****ed now unless England loses to Algeria (which is highly unlikely).

                            • Get in, this is turning out to be a great game. What was the keeper doing when Donovan shot though?

                              Come on both teams!
