If my calculations are correct, we made it and Peru is out


Yes, I think so... squeaked through by 2 points.

Last two columns are the victories vs losses that carry forward.
We are in same boat with Australia and Chile.

I don't think i'm wrong assuming even enthusiasm is similar.

Good luck to you on Monday, I anticipate a good game.

Except for Mark. He sucks.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Game is not yet over but it seems it's over...

I'm sorry and disappointed, I thought we could win this one.

lol, where did you come up with that one?

Check their stats and check our stats.

We are in an elite 8... Teams we are facing are way superior to ours, my hope was they were going to underestimate us, which they didn't.

Countries that we are facing right now have a huge advantage compared to us, on pure numbers of active users.

I agree with Rip88 on that one actually, a 1-3-1 against a look inside equals a bad day at the office. I still think you did a good job getting us there, but if there is so little hope as you seem to think, why not throw them a curve ball and play a Look inside, I believe we have decent inside players to achieve success and since every team knows you're gonna throw a Run and Gun, they all play an outside-intensive defense, so the LI would work doubly in our favor.

Look at what the german manager did, he played Run and Gun a few times (a few motion, a Push the ball and even a look inside) and as such he thought that you would try to counter that with the 1-3-1 or even the 3-2 and went with Look inside.

Good luck in the rest of the world championship.

I think we had to choose a 1-3-1 or 2-3 and hope that we picked the right one. So probably good tactic on that front (except for the wrong guess). For the offensive end, I know run and gun is better for the team than look inside, but playing look inside or another offense would prevent teams like the USA from playing a 1-3-1. That said, surprisingly few teams have played a 1-3-1 against us. It looks as though if Deutschland had chosen an outside focus on offense, we would have won even with the run and gun.
