Thanks for playing a second team today, Italy!

And so England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Iceland all advanced to the knockout round.

We had to cancel volleyball practice today because of the low turnout. :(

Moving those who did bother to turn up to the village pub to watch Belgium v Sweden made up for the disappointment. :wink:

 

I know where I'll be on Sunday for the Hungary game. 8-)

Swedish footballer sent off for farting during match

 

A Swedish footballer has hit out after being sent off for breaking wind during a match – with the referee accusing him of “deliberate provocation” and “unsportsmanlike behaviour”.

 

Adam Lindin Ljungkvist, who was playing at left-back in the match between Järna SK’s reserve team and Pershagen SK, was shown a second yellow card late on in what local media called “bizarre circumstances”.

 

“I had a bad stomach, so I simply let go,” the 25-year-old told Länstidningen Södertälje. “Then I received two yellow cards and then red. Yes, I was shocked, it’s the strangest thing I have ever experienced in football.

 

“I asked the referee, ‘What, am I not allowed to break wind a little?’ ‘No,’ he replied … I don’t get it but maybe he thought I farted in my hand and threw the fart at him. But I did not.”

 

Opposition striker Kristoffer Linde told the paper: “I was standing a good distance away but I heard the fart loud and clear. It’s the strangest thing I’ve seen on a pitch, and I’ve been playing football since I was eight years old.”

 

The referee, Dany Kako, confirmed that Ljungkvist had received the second yellow card for breaking wind, explaining: “I perceived it as deliberate provocation. He did it on purpose and it was inappropriate. Therefore, he received a yellow card.”

No excuses for Belgium to not at least make the semis. I have no idea what his job security is but does Belgium's coach get fired if they don't make the semis?

 

The bottom half of the draw is loaded. The top, not so much. Funny that Italy wins the group and draws Spain while Belgium finishes second and gets Hungary, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

 

In addition to winning the H2H match, the winner of Italy/Spain could have a road of Germany, France/England and then Belgium to win the title.

the bottom half has won 20 major titles (11 world cup, 9 euro). the top half has won zero.

I've been hurt before, but it would be very Jurgen to bolt on a perceived but not actual high note. Please, god, let this happen.

 

Sunil seemed a little critical for the first time ever. Maybe he is willing to make the push now.

 

Who would be the favorites should the miracle happen?

If Jurgen bolts, is there any speculation on candidates for coach?

 

Please don't say someone like Roberto Martinez

 

Edit: Whoops, it was just asked in the previous post.

I think the list begins and ends with Bruce Arena at this point in qualifying. 2 year deal. Understanding of a permanent replacement search after the World Cup.

Ok. That's actually what I was thinking.

Anyone watching? Wood has blown a couple of really nice chances to tie it up. One went off the post

 

 

Nothing to be ashamed of tonight - toe to toe with one of the top-ranked teams in the world.
