Scoring only 9 goals with that rate seems bad
Goalkeeper has PTSD
Only 5.6 completed passes per shot. Brazil adopting Big Sam's tactics
81 shots and only 23 on target
I'd love to see a map of the shots, I bet a lot of them were outside the box
Is Antony on the team?
More wild that every 5-6 touches was a shot? only 500 passes seems low
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.
fire everybody in Brazil
conversation rate
user name checks out
I mean yeah, Brazilians are known to be very introverted
Source: I made it up
Did I stutter?
Clearly, the brazilians stopped mid-game to chat with their opponents way less with that many shots.
Good bot
New Caledonia player get red card when 2nd half start.
This should be age restricted
Yeah considering they’re under 18 it’s should be investigated by the FBI
How did New Caledonia even make it to the World Cup?
Played against Samoa and Tahiti in the qualies lol
2 nations from Oceania quality, so always new zealand and the best island nation.
Is Australia not considered Oceania when it comes to the World Cup?
Not anymore
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
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...
Oceania.
Also last time they qualified they drew against Japan so yeah it’s a bit unexpected too
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
OFC having 2 spots is ridiculous
Is New Caledonia a new country?
Don't know if this is a joke or not, but technically it's not even a country, but a French overseas territory
Caledonia
I just realized that Old Caledonia is a region of Scotland, but New Caledonia is french wtf lol
Real Madrid scouts definitely signing some of them soon 😂
Probably gonna end up signing estevao
Wait till you find out who he supports. That kid has made it very clear where he wants to go.
The premier league record for most keeper saves in a match is 14, so despite conceding 9, his performance was heroic
Looks like me when I get clapped in fut champs and go to unleash my wrath against amateur squad battles AI
Kinda like a typical game in FM, except the score ends 1-1.
I'm more concerned that they had 81 shots and only 23 on frame.
But only 23 on target
Watching the game, New Caledonia almost scored the first goal.

Somehow this is an awful performance from Brazil too lol
Please tell me this isn't what Brazil flew an injured Gabriel Jesus out for lmao
Remember when Haaland broke into the collective consciousness by scoring 9 in one game at the U-20 wc?
19 corners too the heck
That's a shot every 54 seconds. Were the New Caledonian rushing to kick off every time they conceded?
I’d say it was more like Brazil didn’t both celebrating the goals cuz they knew they’d smash them
Only 9-0?
