BathSaint v Bucks (SWI v CRC) 19:00 BST ITV

  • A draw for Brazil against Serbia will be enough for a place in the knockout stage.
  • If both Brazil and Switzerland win then the group winner could be decided by disciplinary records: Brazil have three yellows, Switzerland four. If they both lose then it will be the second and third places potentially decided by the same process.
  • The Swiss will qualify with a draw against Costa Rica, or if Serbia lose to Brazil.
  • If Switzerland lose by one goal and Serbia draw, second place will be decided by goals scored. If the sides finish with identical records then Switzerland would go through because they beat Serbia.
  • Serbia will qualify if they defeat Brazil. A draw would be enough if Switzerland lose to Costa Rica by more than one goal.

@Bucks is out but can still have a say in how the group finishes.
@Bathsaint has impressed so far, a draw with BRA and a win against SER have given them a good chance of qualification to the knockout stages.

Hard to be bothered with Swi v CRC. The other match looks much more like it.

I used to enjoy the World Cup, when you could just have a beer, have the stream on in the background while watching Netflix.
Now it’s impossible to get the Abacus on the coffee table to keep track of all the permutations…
May try using this technique to have them written down IF I can get it into the printer

Take that back @Bucks. My plucky lads will shove a cuckoo clock right up those Croatian arses. And remember, we have the Albanian connection. This isn’t just a football match for those lads; it’s a blood feud :rage:

Ummm CRC is Costa Rica!!

As BT said. You don’t even know who your “plucky lads” are playing…

How comfy is your armchair?

Extremely comfortable, thanks. :grin:

Mind you, a blood feud against Costa Rica is a bit more tenuous.

Pile driver for my plucky underdogs. At the moment, they top the group. Come on the fondue kids :soccer:

Yeah, that’ll be fate tempted.

Again :smiley:

Was guilty of this last night on the Sotonians Twitter account.

What, we have a twitter account? :astonished: I honestly didn’t know that.

It’s been linked loads of times, @Bathsaint.

Are you viewing the site in Lynx? :smiley:

We have a Facebook page too. Have had both since 2015.

Had to shut the Instagram account down. @saintbletch kept on posting shirt pics with the legend “come get it here, girls”.

No one complained. I just got tired of explaining that we weren’t selling LSD over the Internet to the authorities or potential customers.

Are you serious? We really have/had these accounts? Why wasn’t I told about this?

Anyone would think I wasn’t paying attention.

When I did the Twitter functionality, and started posting loads of Sotonians tweets from an account called sotonians, who did you think was running it?

Russian bots? :smiley:

I’m starting to think you might have skim-read my Brexit essays, @Bathsaint :wink:

Honours even. Cuckoo clock stuffing avoided
