Scoring only 9 goals with that rate seems bad

Goalkeeper has PTSD

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Only 5.6 completed passes per shot. Brazil adopting Big Sam's tactics

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

81 shots and only 23 on target

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'd love to see a map of the shots, I bet a lot of them were outside the box

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Is Antony on the team?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

More wild that every 5-6 touches was a shot? only 500 passes seems low

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Will sound weird but N.C set up as well as they could've, really.

6-4-0 stack the box, close off shooting lanes. Goals ended up coming from set pieces.

Keeper did well too, at 15 years of age.

England beat them 10-0 off 41 shots. Poor conversation rate there from Brazil.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

fire everybody in Brazil

I mean yeah, Brazilians are known to be very introverted

Source: I made it up

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Did I stutter?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Clearly, the brazilians stopped mid-game to chat with their opponents way less with that many shots.

New Caledonia player get red card when 2nd half start.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This should be age restricted

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah considering they’re under 18 it’s should be investigated by the FBI

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

How did New Caledonia even make it to the World Cup?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Played against Samoa and Tahiti in the qualies lol

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

2 nations from Oceania quality, so always new zealand and the best island nation.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Is Australia not considered Oceania when it comes to the World Cup?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Not anymore

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

And it’s important to mention that any good enough player to be called up to the France NT cannot play New Caledonia afterward. While not as bountiful as other French islands like Martinique or Gouadeloupe (Henry, Martial…) they formed some absolute elite player like Karambeu, Kombouare or Zimako. And of course a ton of great rugby players

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

We've got so many players that we're now sending our regions to play in international competitions. World Cup, Gold Cup, Confederations Cup, Indian Ocean games...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Oceania.

Also last time they qualified they drew against Japan so yeah it’s a bit unexpected too

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it’s worth noting OFC has had some fantastic results at age-group tournaments.

Fiji beating Honduras 3-0 in the 2015 U20 World Cup was a huge one, and Vanuatu taking Germany all the way (losing 3-2) in 2017 U20s was big too

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

OFC having 2 spots is ridiculous

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Is New Caledonia a new country?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Don't know if this is a joke or not, but technically it's not even a country, but a French overseas territory

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Caledonia

I just realized that Old Caledonia is a region of Scotland, but New Caledonia is french wtf lol

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Real Madrid scouts definitely signing some of them soon 😂

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Probably gonna end up signing estevao

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Wait till you find out who he supports. That kid has made it very clear where he wants to go.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The premier league record for most keeper saves in a match is 14, so despite conceding 9, his performance was heroic

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Looks like me when I get clapped in fut champs and go to unleash my wrath against amateur squad battles AI

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Portugal did a better conversation rate this year https://imgur.com/gallery/L2pbfHD

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Kinda like a typical game in FM, except the score ends 1-1.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm more concerned that they had 81 shots and only 23 on frame.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

But only 23 on target

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Watching the game, New Caledonia almost scored the first goal.

Somehow this is an awful performance from Brazil too lol

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Please tell me this isn't what Brazil flew an injured Gabriel Jesus out for lmao

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Remember when Haaland broke into the collective consciousness by scoring 9 in one game at the U-20 wc?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

19 corners too the heck

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That's a shot every 54 seconds. Were the New Caledonian rushing to kick off every time they conceded?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I’d say it was more like Brazil didn’t both celebrating the goals cuz they knew they’d smash them
