On Peter Schmeichel’s birthday it’s worth remembering when Denmark shithoused their way to winning Euro 92 by exploiting the pass-back rule so much that it was then changed pic.twitter.com/mKdO1zJCDE

To think this was possible for over 100 years.

Reading the comments, I see Liverpool did this regularly particularly during the 80s.

Lucho set to take over again as Spain manager.

Looks like Moreno is going to be sacked which honestly (as unconsistent as Spain has been under him) seems a bit harsh. They should have appointed him as merely a caretaker isntead of giving him the job full time, if getting Lucho back was always the plan (maybe it wasn't).

Ended Grobbelaar before the match fixing did

Edit: bringing in the backpass rule, that is.

  Played in nets for a seven-a-side team when I was about 10/11 and you were allowed to pick up a backpass. Our manager made it a main tactic for us on the counter - break up play, knock it back to me and I'd hoof it up into the space for our striker who was rapid.

Proper shithousery.

Like Fifa, the organisers of the league/tournament banned it.

The whole thing has been shambolically managed which is classic by the Spanish FA.

[Village Idiot]

They claim that Moreno himself wanted to resign to give way but later backpedalled. He'll give his version one his contract is resolved. My default position is that the Spanish FA are lying out of their arse, as usual.

Wasn’t that long ago since we had two sent off at Forest.

That team would be relegated from the Premier League with the lowest total ever.  Our 2016-17 team would batter them.

What’s the qualification on being selected?

2/3+ seasons?

[joeyt]

I think it must be more than 1 season. Williams and Rangel spent most of the decade in the Prem

Was what I was thinking. Harsh on Dwight the Goal.

Also, apropos nothing, dream/award XI’s with horrifically unbalanced midfields are the work of the devil unless you’re Garth.

Scotland to play Israel in the playoffs.

Iceland v Romania, Bulgaria v Hungary, Norway v Serbia, Georgia v Belarus and North Macedonia v Kosovo also.

Also, I didn't realise half the groups are already drawn for the finals, what an utter shitshow.
