SalamAkhi 278 Posted May 11, 2021 #51 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The question for Ireland and Samoa is : in which order will they qualify ? Mexico is very weak, weaker than Jamaica, Uganda is a bit stronger than Zimbabwe, Chile and Tonga are on the same level but this time it will be an experimental Tongan squad with 15 a-side European based players. All in all pool B is probably more homogeneous. For the 3 favorites the tournament won't be won before the semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpjmcevoy 202 Posted June 13, 2021 #52 Share Posted June 13, 2021 On 11/05/2021 at 14:24, dodge said: The favourable bit to France is they don’t have to play any team of note until the semi final by then whoever they’ve faced will likely have had 2 tight games France, effectively, has a bye to the semi final True, but the winner of the first Samoa v Ireland match likely has all but a bye to the final - the runner up they'd face in the France group would be the weak link in the Semis - France have much easier group, but almost guaranteed tougher knockout - winner of Ireland Samoa group should have relatively straight forward semi, while loser is really no worse off than France, as they'd face a France, Ireland/Samoa route anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
