@united579@bootcutgenes Obviously if a country has more points they should advance. But if they are tied - what matters is how they played against each other, not that they scored more or less goals against a random team.
@united579@bootcutgenes And I'm sure the US subs that go to the WC and the Turks that need redemption will just roll the ball around instead of actually going for the win. And again why would Australia go through rather than the US just cause they scored more goals Vs Paraguay while losing to the US?
@bootcutgenes The attacking part I agree, but it's not like GD is irrelevant anymore, it can still decide positions And for me dead rubbers are not that much of an issue. Its still a WC game and even if they don't qualify there is no way they aren't pumped to prove that the 2 Ls weren't flukes
@bootcutgenes Well GD decider might also be caused by a one off match. See CAN-QAT. If SUI had lost to BIH and won against CAN should CAN be first just cause of that match?
Plus in Turkey's case if they'd just drawn against one of the 2, then GD would matter still. They didn't though.
@bootcutgenes Cause they are literally worse than the teams they lost to as proven on the pitch. If there was a tie, obviously check the GD. Otherwise you don't deserve a redemption card if you lost to both! of the other teams. And US is basically through anyway, nothing to play for last game.
This is a press release from the Danish government. For those unfamiliar with Danish politics, the Danish government is a coalition government. It is led - I almost wrote: as always - by Social Democrat Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
The press release is in Danish. I am sure you can find a translation tool that will read it for you.
But the headline reads: "Denmark and a majority of EU countries push for return hubs and reception centres outside Europe."
I come from a Danish opposition party. But now I am going to do something rather unusual. It is in the service of a higher cause.
The truth that the centre-left and left in the European Parliament cannot bear to hear - and instead label racist - is one that the Danish Social Democrats have understood. That is why they are Europe's most sensible Social Democrats. Nobody else even comes close.
The Danish Social Democrats have understood that the welfare state breaks down if a country accepts uncontrolled or near-uncontrolled immigration. They have understood that we are not merely talking about economic collapse. We are also talking about the breakdown of the social contract.
Why, ask the Danish Social Democrats, should people who have worked and paid taxes all their lives accept that people who arrived the day before yesterday can immediately draw on all the benefits that we have collectively insured ourselves against? No normal person can understand that - and nor should they be expected to.
The Danish Social Democrats also know - and vote accordingly - that it is immigrants who have a duty to integrate themselves (and preferably assimilate). They dare to say it out loud: we do not need "counter-citizens". We need fellow citizens.
And the Danish Social Democrats also dare to say openly that it is a major problem that the Muslim Brotherhood is infiltrating society. And that there are too few moderate Muslims willing to speak out against it (although, fortunately, they do exist).
My three Social Democratic colleagues in the European Parliament are among the very few normal people in Crazyville.
To all the social liberals, socialists, communists and Islamists on the Left who have cried themselves to sleep every night since we voted for the Return Regulation, I say this:
Be more like the Danish Social Democrats.
They are working for socially, economically and politically sustainable countries.
The rest of you are working for the opposite.
@JhonSilverlong@JPSym_@Ke3ndry_ Estaría bien? Sí, estoy de acuerdo. Es tan relevante para el show que están montando alrededor del tema? No creo. Y aparte digo yo que unos periodistas que van a eventos internacionales deberían saber inglés.
@Mercheluan@Ke3ndry_ Y entenderán aún mejor su idioma nativo, el portugués, por eso hay un intérprete de inglés a portugués. Lo que no hay es un intérprete de español a portugués.
@JhonSilverlong@JPSym_@Ke3ndry_ En todas no creo, pero en la de Marruecos, al ser el francés un idioma administrativo oficial de Marruecos pues sí que lo han puesto.
@marlenmarin4@Ke3ndry_ Bueno para estos casos hay intérpretes de los idiomas nativos, como sería el portugués, así los jugadores pueden estar lo más cómodos posible🙂
@uhvaimorre@Ke3ndry_ Could they have an interpreter? Sure. Would it be nice? Sure. Do they have to? Not really. Should everybody get upset about it? Think we're overreacting a bit.
@JPSym_@Ke3ndry_ Cuidado que viene el experto lingüístico xd.
Como si fuera una lengua interplanetaria.
Ahí tiene que haber un portugués, un árabe y un inglés.
Ya me dirás que tiene que ver que es la 1a en representación en el mundial. Y pues cuando se hagan en México, que pongan españoles.
