The ball was clearly over the line.

And he stormed off. I’d be pissed too.

The FA paid Fifa a lot of money

Somebody from France 1998/2000 might have managed it.

Pedro is the only player to have done the European trophies, WC and Euros.

There's a lot who have come close but are missing either the Euros or the UEFA cup or the WC.

Kante will do the full haul if France win the Euros

Mata was won both European trophies, the WC, and the Euros.

He's not won a league title though

Which I realise wasn't in my initial post. So yeah, my bad on that one.

Pedro was the first to win the whole lot.

How many times do these Belgian bin men have to lose to not be number 1 in the world?

You don't have to ~~win trophies~~ ~~win games~~ to be winners...

Gonna bring this up here because we (Italy) are in a precarious position where if we lose to Switzerland tonight there is a big chance that we wont qualify for the WC directly and we all know how the last playoff qualifier went. When is the last time the reigning European Champion didn't qualify for the subsequent World Cup? Has it ever happened?

Greece didnt qualify for the 06 World Cup.

So probably that

Spain may as well have not turned up to the 2014 WC too, but they did qualify, its the closest since Greece

It will be good to get the South American nations in, makes it actually interesting . I feel like the SA teams have always missed a meaningful international competition outside of the World Cup simply due to the low number of nations in South America compared to Europe.

Way to absolutely poo poo on the Copa America

It's weird that there were no red cards, I thought the round of 16 required at least 1 per.

1 game had two so it evens out.

I'm not much of a football manager but I think you should put your best players earlier in the penalty taking list so they have a chance to score a penalty!

I agree. But that's just how Egypt has set up all tournament.

And tbf, they won the previous two shootouts.

Yeah realistically Scotland have Hampden (50k) and Murrayfield (60k)

You would be able to use Ibrox (50k) or Celtic Park (60k) too i suppose

Does this mean that Poland will get a Bye win in the WC qualifiers or that another team will take Russia's place?

If it's like the Uefa cup then Poland will go through automatically

Not that uncommon it seems.

4 in 50 years is fairly uncommon

Wrong denominator. The euros are not annual, so it would be four in 50/4 = 12.5 occurrences.

Take into account qualifying and also we were including world cups in this too.

It's in 12 tournaments but still over 50 years
