Assuming (as seems extremely likely) we'll be leaving the WC after 3 matches, what result would you prefer? 1) 3 losses, but a goal or two for us 2) No goals, but a point via a 0-0 draw along the way? Personally, I'd go for option 1). Goals always make for a great highlight/memory, whereas holding a team to a scoreless draw (even if it was the current WC holders) would only be appreciated by the footballing purists amongst us. [size=1] (I'm sure there's some way to set up a poll on this forum, but I can't see the option anywhere).[/size]

Are these goals going to be scored while there's still a game on, or as a consolation in a 5-1 loss?

Three nil all draws could potentially take us into the second round. I'd rather see that.

I'm so torn. I'm all about the public image, so goals are great. However, I think I'm all for keeping the scorelines respectable.
Three 5-0 losses isn't 'good experience for developing youngsters', it's bullshit.

Spain 3-0 Netherlands Chile 0-0 Australia Australia 0-0 Netherlands Spain 3-0 Chile Australia 0-1 Spain Chile 0-0 Netherlands. Spain finishes first with 9 points. However you sort the other 3 teams, one of them will finish 2nd with 2 draws and a loss.

Interesting point. What if we literally put 11 men in the box?
Forget giving up the opposition half, what if we gave up 80m of the pitch?
