Scoring only 9 goals with that rate seems bad

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

    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.

    This should be age restricted

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

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

    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

    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

    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

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

    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.

  • source
  • [–] [B] 1 point 2 years ago

    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

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

    19 corners too the heck

  • source
  • [–] [B] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child)

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