Eco Posted June 11, 2019 Author Posted June 11, 2019 Wow - shocking result as Chile draws Sweden 0-0. I'm almost worried after seeing the Dutch and Sweden struggle against an inferior opponent. EDIT: Sweden are in the middle of a weather delay.

Eco Posted June 11, 2019 Author Posted June 11, 2019 Absolutely steam rolling Thailand at at the moment. Up 2-0 and barely half way through the first half.
Eco Posted June 11, 2019 Author Posted June 11, 2019 Ugh - nevermind. 3-0 USA at half-time. Absolutely dominant.
Administrator Stan Posted June 11, 2019 Administrator Posted June 11, 2019 Finished 13-0 Poor Thailand.
The Artful Dodger Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Not good for the game when you get scorelines like this but let's not forget there were some mental scorelines in earlier worldcups, Zaire and Saudi Arabia spring to mind.
Eco Posted June 12, 2019 Author Posted June 12, 2019 Just now, Dr. Gonzo said: That’s fucking cruel tbh Did you watch? Nothing we could have done. Their defense was abysmal, and they GK was worse.

I mean one thing the USA could have done though is stopped giving a fuck at 6 or 7 goals. I’m assuming everything about them was abysmal at 13-0

Fair enough the USA always looked like coming out as winners from that game but sad to see Thailand getting such a beating and felt sorry for them in the end, I can't see how watching anything like that is supposed to inspire these smaller nations to want to be competing at this or any other level while results like that are a reality. Who wants to be appearing in a game where you are basically just cannon fodder for a side with much greater resources than they will ever have.. The whole thing was just 90 minutes of humiliation and I certainly didn't enjoy any of it..

American Samoa where if I were an American Samoan I'd have said "hey, can we uh never ever play football again, please?"
