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.

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?

We'd be laughed out of town.

Mind you, that was basically what NZ did in 2010.


Iraq did that against Spain too in Confederations Cup 2007. Almost worked as the match finished 1-0.
