Denmark is nothing special for a while. They got the feel good boost after the Eriksen cardiac arrest @ Euro but it's only a storyline and not much else.

Seriously? Losing the Euro semi final after a BS penalty, even after the near death of the captain,  dominating the qualification for the Worlds, beating France twice in the Nations league...

This was the strongest Danish team in a damn long time just until this Championship, not necessarily the players considering the playing time in their teams, but the collective has been terrific all the time since the Euro.

What about the misery of the next group: 

 

Argentina :has qualified from this system 5 teams/10

Mexico :got the benefit of dividing the American contient (they played vs Haiti) 

Poland qualified instead Russia 

 

only KSA looks normal in this group of scam

Some FIFA news, apparently they want to introduce penalty kicks in group stage for 2026 WC which would earn extra point. That's a way to solve the three-team group dilemma that could see all matches ending in a draw.

 

I still think the system 16 groups x 3 teams is stupid. It would be better to have 12 groups with 4 teams but what do we know...

That would be awful. Penalties for anything but straight knock-out games should stay far away from football..(or any sort of sport)

Mexico did play Haiti, but one can imagine the CONCACAF Gold Cup match in which they played did not play a major role in them qualifying for the World Cup.

 

KSA played against Vietnam.

I have to disagree here, this was the best thing that could have happened to hockey. Every match now counts.

People who keep forgetting who our coach is. We will park two buses or have 8 people run around Messi. Obviously we will play for a 0-0 draw as best case scenario :lol:

 

:POL squad. One change from the Saudi Arabia match, Świderski replaces Milik as the second striker.

No, they are 100% playing for a draw. They probably bet that :KSA will not beat :MEX so a draw would be enough for 1st. 

Imo, :KSA will beat :MEX, so for no risk to advance in second, or even be eliminated, I wouldn't play for a draw.

 

But it is :POL, and they will probably play for a draw :lol:

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
