I really dislike soccer so it would be extremely funny if Japan ended up winning the World Cup.

So you got the reference.

June 16th 1937- Tehran was yesterday the home of a wild scoring feast, with both teams combining for 11 goals in a 6-5 Chosenian victory. Striker Lee Dong-Gook massacred the Persian defense by leading the Chosenian offense with four goals. On the other hand Gholamreza Rezaei scored twice while three other players scored one goal each.

Defense wasn’t present at all in what was a very physical game, with five yellow cards being given overall to both sides. Chosen put themselves in a very good position to qualify for next year World Cup with this victory while Persia is being forced to at least tie Bharat in their next game to keep their hopes alive.

Reminds me of the kids-leagues soccer/football games I've seen. The kids just gathered around the ball in a gaggle, and occasionally the ball popped out for a change of pace...

Of course, I should talk. When I was playing soccer at that age, I was assigned to be a defender, and I was wandering around the penalty box looking at the dandelions, when suddenly the ball rolls right up to me. I heard everyone shouting "Kick it, kick it!"

So I did. Right into my own goal.

June 21st 1937- Bharat again failed to achieve victory, falling to China 1-0 in front of a home crowd in the 60,000 seat Akbar the Great Stadium in Hyderabad. Bharat again failed to finalize attacks and looked uninspired while China gave a better show than in their loss in Tehran. With this lost Bharat is being forced to defeat Persia in their next match but anything short of a Chinese defeat will eliminate Bharat from participation in next year World Cup.

I already noticed the first time Shotaro and Tetsuo were mentioned (those two names together gave it away). I do like that idea.

Soccer misery. The horror... the horror... the agony... the agony...
... unless you switched sides the moment you got the ball.

I did not have that kind of miseries. My miseries were usually injuries sustained. At school, a ball hard against my head and had to snap my left pinky back into its proper position afte an idiot tried to kick the ball which I had grabbed and in the army injured my left shin and right knee in one massive collision.

July 22nd 1937- In a game celebrated in Brisbane the Australian team was defeated by one of the surprises of the qualification round, the Dutch East Indies squad. Led by their good defense, the DEI team scored two early goals that were enough to get the 2-0 victory. The locals weren't too happy about the results and many drunken brawls erupted at the later parts of the match, with a big one at the 63rd minute of the match.

One fan, later identified by the police as a former boxer called Russell Crowe, jumped to the field and slapped the DEI goalie Hendro Kartiko before being jumped by the DEI team. Fans started to jump unto the field but the fast response of the police officers made possible to arrest the culprits before it turned into a full riot. After a twenty minute delay the game was resumed but no change in the score occurred. The DEI team has to be escorted to their hotels after the game.

July 29th 1937- The expected seeded for the World Cup, Japan, didn't failed their fans by winning again in front of their home crowd in Kyoto by a score of 2-0 over Siam. They easily quailified for the World Cup by winning their three games by a combined score of 7 to 1.

The experts that considered the Japanese the best team in Asia weren't surprised by this, their defense being exceptional thru the qualifiers, and their offense was solid enough.

My memories of parent-enforced Soccer playing mostly consisted of getting the ball kicked into my head, and one stint as goalie where no one told me if I caught the ball, then stepped back past the line, they got a goal.

And I'm sensing a dastardly conspiracy against the commonwealth realms.................

Missed this question order of deciding

Points (obliviously)
If points are tie then goal difference if that is tie there are two versions, used in the WC its internal meeting results (for exampel Bharat and China has both 3 points and the same goal difference then the team that has won against the other is qualified)

The other variant is to simply see which team has scored the most goals

So if both teams have three points but one a +1 and the other a -1 point differential goes, no matter than the lost to the +1 was by the other team? Is that the case Bharat is in and China out.

Bharat tied 2 first game, lost 1-0 the second and wins 2-0 third. = +1

China lost 2-0 first game, wins 1-0 second and ties at three on the last game. = -1

Am I correct?

Correct

You need to play a proper sport - one with hookers in it.

Why, my good man, it is the game for hooligans played by gentlemen, of course!!

Lacross?

I'm all for Hockey myself, a game strictly for hooligans!
...besides in Hockey you can't "run out of bounds".

I'm sure this had come up before as well...

This is what you call powering through a tackle. I've watched this bloke run the full 100m of the pitch through three people on the way and score during Bath's annihilation of Saracens last year.

Well, it is meant to be played on grass...if you have a look at some of the _proper_ hockey there isn't much violence at all.

...You gave it away too soon, we could have got a least another page of doulbe meanings in, before letting the cat out of the bag!!

Well, it's a skating game, isn't it? No running in a skating game, unless you are off the ice.

Quoted

It was meant to be played on ice, but because there was no ice, they decided to play it on grass instead.

Maybe they had to play on grass, because the Zamboni had not been invented yet.

... oh wait. Turns out your home team does not use Zambonis due to the fact that they are playing at the General Motors Place, Wes.

To me, field hockey is a game for girls and for [Arnie mode on] girly men[Arnie mode off].

Real men don't play field hockey. They play... Rugby.
