Football Fanats 2013

Most humiliating moment: June 11, 2013, Denmark - Armenia 0-4

Classic disastrous match that people are still talking about 27 years later, but which was not actually that humiliating because it was the World Cup, last 16, vs Spain:

Jesper Olsen was a great player, but he is still primarily known for Spain's first goal in that match.

The historical shame for Hungarian football: 1986, World Cup (Mexico); USSR-Hungary 6-0
The legendary shame for our generation: 1997, World Cup qualification play-offs vs Yugoslavia, sum: 12-1
The latest pathetic result: 2006, EC qualifications; Malta-Hungary 2-1

I guess against Colombia in 1993 is an open wound. The news of it's anniversary is still appearing on TV after 20 years.

Sure they still talk about it. I mean, if you historically suck at a sport and win by a large margin to one of the historically top teams, in their home, you'll always remember. On the other hand, we beat Colombia 18-8 (and 6 draws) face to face, but we don't spend our time talking about it

From the short Youtube video, it seems that the Argentinians were not crappy, but extremely unlucky that day... If they had scored from at least one of their big chances in the beginning, it would have been a very different game. In the disastrous games in Hungary (against USR & YUG), it was obvious from the first minutes that we would be humiliated, independently of luck.

You are right. Sport journalists are always looking for the "impact news" instead of informing.

Very disappointing results here:

Romania - Hungary 3-0 (2-0)

Kazincbarcika - Nyírbútor 1-1 (1-1)

Romania - Hungary 3-0 (2-0)

Is it a surprise? Nope.

The "likeable" Hungarian team is full of conceited, jelly hair dickholes without humility.

Now you just have to win your away match vs The Netherlands, and you're in the playoffs :-)

Don't bet on that...

Well, even if it happens (chance: under 0.1 percent):

- we must win against Andorra
- we have a fair chance of being the worst second place team

But today a good 5-1 win against Estonia.

[BonzaiJoe]

You have no chance of being the worst second place team. The second best team in our group currently has less points than you.

We have no chance of being a second place team.

Remaining duels & expectations:

Andorra - Romania, whitewash (0-6 or so)
Estonia - Turkey, difficult victory for the guests (0-1)
Netherlands - Hungary, another whitewash (5-0)

Turkey - Netherlands, boring draw (1-1)
Romania - Estonia, gipsies will reach the play-offs with the help of French refrees (2-0, red card and a penalty against EST)
Hungary - Andorra, a useless tiny victory (2-0)

Argentina 5 - Paraguay 2. We have a place in WC2014

No, the second place team might change, and they have one more match than us (of course counting matches only against 1st, 3rd-5th place teams). And our remaining match is against Holland... and we are the second worst second place team.

Btw a Turkish win against Holland would send us to 4th place in the group, that would be the worst.

I was also thinking on that - quite a chanceful option.
