Winner takes all in Bosnia V Austria too.

Also in North America so interesting new names make it. I think 6 make it with the top and 2 second place. Oh actually 5 from 7

2-2 against Belarus was really an earthquake. Danish newspapers used massive letters across the front pages and it was reported almost as if the king of Denmark had died.

I suspect that is the major reason why Gattuso is moaning so much, Italy has a rich history of doing exactly that.

Meanwhile, Slovenia could do something funny in Stockholm.

Swedish arrogant blasè journalists have just had a field day mocking Norwegians for celebrating the the advancement and group stage victory in Oslo like the provincial peasants we might be (the old “it’s so pathetic to celebrate anything when you haven’t actally won anything”, bitter line).

But in reality, they are resentful and bitter, because this isn’t how it should be, they should be far stronger than Norway in football. But really they would dream to be where we are now.

Many swedes aren’t like that of course, but many are. It’s the old sociological Scandinavian phenomenon.

Hopefully, Slovenia pisses on them brings them much misery.

I’m joking a bit here, but not really.
It’s so serious that newspapers interviews sociologists so that they can tell us that it’s not serious ! :rofl: :stuck_out_tongue:

"Sports sociologist Arve Hjelseth considers the criticism to be a classic Scandinavian neighborly quarrel.
– At the same time, he says: “We in Sweden are a bit too blasé to celebrate that we qualify. If we win a medal, then we celebrate. While Norway, which is a much smaller football nation, is so provincial that it is big enough just to qualify,” Hjelseth tells VG.

– I wouldn’t take it seriously, he interjects.

He also emphasizes that the statement reflects the historical balance of power in Scandinavian football."

Deadly Serious this ! Shouts of “Death to Sweden” are just around the corner :winking_face_with_tongue: :rofl:

I wouldn’t be very sad if Slovenia won this game though. Sad for some Swedes, on a very individul human level, but…

There are two Play Offs they must get through, right ?

I just know that they will get one of these teams:
Sweden, Romania, Northern Ireland, North Macedonia or Wales

But after they beat one of these, which they might, who will they get after ?

Edit:Nevermind

To be fair sounds rather fun for the neutral

I am writing and working and not watching, but I read that Denmark has been the best team by far. But hopefully, they fail to win and there will be a few Danish tears at the death of the game.

Which they deserve, after fucking up against Lukashenko’s Belarus.

Not that I wish Scotland success, they should pay for stealing the Orkneys, Caitness, and Shetland; which should not be forgotten nor forgiven.

Was I missing something there as that looked outside the box?

Did his leg make contact as I don’t have my glasses on.

I don’t even think that’s a foul, Hojland saw the opportunity to go down.

Refs are a joke. The stuff they get away with Mo, this is nothing.

Another rubbish decision. That’s not even a foul on McGinn. Let alone a second yellow
