Wouldn’t have thought many countries have done that, certainly the big nations anyway. The only way to do it is to lose a group game then lose the semi and 3rd place play off

The worst brawl I remember was in 1995 or 1996 between Knights and Hellas. One had a Serbian flag, the other a Macedonian flag, huge brawls. Blood everywhere

Tough childhood.

That is true, but it’s an amusing stat considering it’s the best World cup England have had for a long time.

You didn’t enjoy going? Or the people that you went with? Sorry to hear that you have regrets.

The last NSL game at Somers St there was something like 80 flares lit. Even the guy in the scoreboard ripped one.

Legit? LOL.
They were angling for an A league license about 3-4 years ago weren’t they?

All those seats in the stadium, empty.

There was one at Hindmarsh stadium against the Croats in 91 where even the players got involved. The Croat fan that was one of the main instigators was getting a good old kicking and jumped on to the field of play to escape. Two security guards grabbed him and threw him back into the crowd and we gave him another licking until a heap of cops broke it up.

Just seen some of Arsene Wenger’s punditry on YT from the World Cup. Have to say, the best I’ve listened to. An extraordinary knowledge of the game, and he should give up management and just do this. How he allowed Arsenal to fall so far behind the rest is staggering.
