www.theguardian.com MLS academy players were racially abused. Former stars chose to take action

New York Red Bulls withdrew its teams from a youth tournament earlier this year. Now veteran players are speaking to them about their own experiences

A team meeting with teenage soccer players isn’t normally something to make news but this particular event, held in 200-plus capacity event space at Red Bull Arena with every player from the club’s top under-12 to under-17 teams, was a little different.

All teams are on 4 points, Hungary is 3rd on 3 points, Croatia 3rd on 2 points.

thus all teams with 4 points are guaranteed to go through if they can't finish lower than 3rd, none of these teams can.

20 years ago today - in the QF match of Euro 2004, goalkeeper Ricardo is Portugal's hero: he saves Darius Vassell's penalty glove-less and scored the winning kick.

To Norway: An Apology

Sorry Norway. Our jammy win in Oslo robbed you of a chance to experience a major tournament. Instead, your place went to a badly organised rabble, with no urgency, no ambition and not even basic ball control.

You should have been in this tournament, and that disgraceful excuse for a Scotland team should have been languishing in 3rd or 4th. How in god's name did we beat Spain?

Sorry Norway, you deserved better.

Scotland qualification scenarios

SanguinePar @lemmy.world 3 days ago

Of limited interest, I'm sure, but I spent a bit of time working all this out, and wanted to post it before Scotland go 2 down after 5 minutes tomorrow and render it all moot...

So.

If Scotland lose to Hungary, we're out. No ifs, buts, or maybes.

If we draw then we need at least 2 out of 3 scenarios to happen in order to sneak through:

Spain beat Albania AND Italy beat Croatia
Turkey beat Czechia AND Portugal beat Georgia
Denmark beat Georgia AND England beat Slovenia by 5 or more (I think)

If Scotland win against Hungary then any 2 (or more) of these scenarios gets us through

Spain avoid defeat to Albania (Scotland would finish better than Albania and also better than one of Croatia or Italy, regardless of their result)
Netherlands beat Austria (Scotland would be ahead of both Austria and Poland)
England avoid defeat to Slovenia (Scotland would be ahead of Slovenia and also at least one of Denmark or Serbia).
There's also the possibility that Slovenia hammer England (Scotland could finish better than England on goal difference and also would be ahead of at least one of Denmark or Serbia)
Portugal avoid defeat to Georgia (Scotland would be ahead of Georgia and also ahead of one of Turkey or Czechia)
Even if Georgia did win, we could beat them on GD, but we'd have to thrash Hungary, so not likely.
No draws on match day 3 in group E. Doesn't matter who wins, as long as two teams do.
Or, if there are 1 or 2 draws in group E then it comes down to goal difference, so we would have to hammer Hungary, see above.

And yes, I made a spreadsheet to work all this out... :-)

Euro2024-Group A Outcomes Chart

schnapsman @lemmy.world 6 days ago

Explanation of the chart:

On the last match day of Group-A (23 Jun), it's SUI v GER, SCO v HUN. Their performances up to this point and 9 tie-breaking criteria determine who advances and in which position. Rather than explaining all of that, this chart just gives you the possible outcomes for 1st and 2nd place. Rows are the SCO/HUN result, columns are the SUI/GER result. Find the 2 results you're interested in (1 row, 1 column) and see which colour corresponds to them. 3rd place also has the possibility to advance. If HUN wins, it's them, otherwise it's SCO except for the blue region where it would be SUI. Group [A] winner advances to play Group [C]-2nd. Group [A]-2nd plays Group [B]-2nd (likely Italy or Spain).
