Do you remember Sweden-Denmark 2-2?

<< < (3/5) > >>

bez:
I understand where you are coming from tho, I really do.  But there's no better way to do it than goals scored in the first 2 games.  Football is about winning and loosing, thats why at the end of extra time the match goes to penalty kicks....simply because a football game could go on forever if there wasn't a method to end the match.  Its the same with the tournament/group stages......the goals scored in pervious games rule should teach teams not to reley on other teams's results and luck to win a game and get through to the next round.  The rule is there so that games will be competitive and so FIFA can sit there and say to country's in this situation, "You should of tired to score more goals in your first 2 games". 

white Boy:
nope, i dont recall

Smoke:
Oh, now i got a question for y'all.

First round of the WC 2006. Just immagine (not real, but immagine) a group with

ITALY 4 pts
FRANCE 4 pts
England 2 pts
Bulgaria 0 pts

If Italy and France ties 1-1, they both in and England, who tied 0-0 against Italy and 0-0 against France, is out. Will you bitch about it? You can win 300-0 against Bulgaria, it doenst matter.

Jome:
Damn Scandinavians..  ;D

Will be interesting to see how this ends, don't think we can say for sure yet..

On The Edge of Insanity:
The way they did the goal difference was stupid as hell, making a new group out of the teams that were level and shit. But to be honest that helped Italy more than anything cause both Sweden and Denmark beat Bulgaria by more goals than Italy did, but that had no advantage for this because it was cancelled out when deciding who from Denmark, Sweden and Italy actually went through.
