Can anyone explain why apparently usa know they play bosnia (a 3rd place team) but the final 3rd place qualification isnt finished?
How does it actually decided which 3rd place gores where?
@BBCSport@ITVSport any ideas?
@redkev75@BBCSport@BBC That all other possible combinations that involve bosnia playing someone else are gone.
But all the other 3rds are still in play until more groups are complete.
Basically its not based on a table its the group letter and the combo 2/2
@redkev75@BBCSport@BBC So years ago they devised a system, well before the draw and qualification.
Basically there is a bracket for every combination of 3rd place qualifiers. Each bracket determines which game they play.
Because a certain number of games have been played, it means 1/2
‘Dad whys it called the elliot Anderson memorial arena?’
‘Well son, his transfer helped fund this lovely stadium in Totton’
‘But did he die when he left?’
‘His career did…’

Americans will complain about goal line technology but then happily accept the ‘spotting of the ball’ which depends on a nearby ref putting the ball in a random spot he deems right, so it can be measured with a chain?
Cool
@FIFAcom fuck off with trying to Americanise the sport.
How can ‘head to head’ trump goal difference? Its fucking retarded.
And why was this rule change snuck in???
Next season should be an interesting one.
Sunderland and Bournemouth in Europe will put a lot of strain on them.
Not sure the newly promoted sides do much.
If #nffc hold onto some prize assets and don’t go bonkers again manager wise we might have a good one.
Also no pinstripes.
