Yes, if only someone else was the coach, they'd win everything. Though imagine if all the teams had a perfect coach, there would be nothing but draws!

If one team won, the other wouldn't have played perfectly. If both are perfect, the result has to be a draw.

That's from the viewer's point of view. From the team's point of view they must won to the game to be perfect. But I got what you meant. :)

With that, Norway is all but eliminated from the World Cup quals, and once again the coach has failed to bring us to a championship. He's had three attempts now, and the people's patience was already wearing thin. I hope and suspect he will now get the *** out and let somebody else have a go at bringing Norway to a championship.
Well, we've been in like four or five straight championships (I can't even keep count any longer!) and people are still complaining... It's like they think we're secretly Germany or something.

Hareide (the Norwegian coach) has had several chances to pick the best players and compose the best possible team; it's time for a change as the Norwegians once again seemingly fail to qualify for something. And it's not just the failure to qualify... no wins in a whole year...?

Btw. why the heck am I discussing football with Ethric? He know nada about football... :tongue:

Don't you guys know the saying: the uglier you look, the better you are at football? Have you seen Ian Rush? Or Peter Beardsley? Man, need I even say the name Kevin Keegan? *shudder* :D

Ok, you are ugly enough, but it does not work like that way. Imagine Quasimodo on the field!
