Round ball code talk

Saudis beat Mexico and Argies and Poland draw and we play Saudis in round of 16 game.

What the actual **** haha

Bring on the winner of group c. One game away from a historic achievement now... from nowhere

 

[Incarnate]

On the first day of Christmas the football gods gave to me, Danes packing their bags with the aussies going to the last sixteen!!!

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Almost half time in group C and both games still 0-0.

If it stays like this we play Poland next.

 

[raptalia]

Well done to the Socceroos. I do not mind admitting that they have done better than I thought they would.

According to the ABC Denmark were ranked no10 in the world so beating them was no mean feat.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Argentina pull ahead - look most likely to be our round of 16 opponents.

Honestly just like Denmark and Peru they look way better than us on paper but they've been shaky so far with that loss to KSA. We're underdogs vs whoever we face.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Also Mexico needs one more goal to knock out Poland I think. Going right down to the wire.

Edit: Also if Argentina scores one more...

Poland and Mexico would be on 4 points, 2 goals for, 2 goals against, and a draw in their head to head game. No idea how you could split them?

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Its happened. Argentina has scored.

Both games 2-0 and Poland and Mexico perfectly equal.

 

[Papa G]

So does that mean we play the Argies?

Gremio will be cheering louder than any Australian.

Yep it looks locked us and Argentina now.

2nd vs 3rd is where the battle is.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Oh my god it goes down to yellow cards? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.

Mexico would've missed out on that count, but the 95th minute Saudi goal decided it.

Yeah Saudi Arabia saved Fifa there.

Splitting on yellows is unbelievably stupid. Just should go to some sort of skill-based showdown. Could surely have worked in a penalty shoot out with no live fans.

Whoops.... Slept through my alarm... Was an hour and half late for work

Boss understanding... And not that we busy at the moment... Pretty much waiting for Xmas holidays...

There were times when it was a coin-toss, can you believe it?!

I’m pretty sure I was born in Porto Alegraide, South Austrio Grandelia, Australia

Honestly, as bad as that is, I still prefer it to who had the most yellow cards.

You probably wouldn't know this, but in the cricket one day world cup they run it where if the game is a draw after all overs bowled and a super over, whoever hit the most boundaries wins (which is completely irrelevant as four singles for example would otherwise be worth exactly the same as one "Four"). A recent world cup final between NZ and England was completely ruined because of this.

That game should have just been called a draw, seriously, crown two world champions.

Failing that, whoever took more wickets wins.

Draw would have made more sense.

For me it was simple - just have another super over. They take barely any time at all.

Imagine if in tennis rather than end with a 2 game advantage or tiebreak they said ok its whoever hit more forehands.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Malinauskas wants to see flares going off like Federation Square in Melbourne. I guess with all the rev heads in town for Adelaide 500 somewhere to kick on after the race and then the concert with Icehouse, Noiseworks and Jimmy Barnes.

Could have played 2 more super overs each, not just one each. It wasn't that dark.

Yep and if you really need an ultimate ultimate tiebreak after 3 super overs, just keep the batsmen out there and go ball by ball. Anything to decide it on skill.
