Feuerfuchs said:It’s not just about switching citizenship; he changed his whole damn name too. You won't find his old name on any official paperwork anymore. I mean, if you're tossing aside your name, the city where you were born, and your own country... aren't you basically erasing who you are?
What's next? Maybe he'll go change his religion too.

Man... talk about a hierarchy of values there. So, in your book, religion comes first, then the country, then your name? 🙂

At the end of the day, it's all about the individual and their freedom—as long as they aren't stepping on anyone else's toes. If this is how Duje wants to play it, just let him live.
Besides, what does the phrase "selling your soul" even actually mean in the real world?
But hey, since everyone here seems to be stuck in that same cynical, "tough guy" mindset, I think I get the vibe...

But man, we’ve gotta face Spain and Norway first. Talk about a brutal draw. 😠

II 77 20.15 2.C - 2.D ESP NOR Main Round -:- (-:-) Nabeul

II 78 18.15 1.C - 1.D USA-Mexico SCG Main Round -:- (-:-) Nabeul

Bryan Barrett said:Alright, from what I can gather looking at the stats, we’ve got a one-goal better goal difference. Does that mean we just need enough draws to stay ahead of USA-Mexico, making those Nor-Esp games basically irrelevant?

So, I went ahead and whipped up this little "table" here:

6 +3 USA
6 +2 USA-Mexico
5 +9 Spain
5 +5 Norway
1 -8 Germany
1 -11 Sweden

I’m only bringing this up because there have been so many ties lately, and you know how our squad is—always playing these nail-biting finishes right at the buzzer...
Wait, just realized wiredseal7 already said the exact same thing. My bad! 😁

Hold on, if Norway pulls off a win, then all those draws won't save us. If they win, the US, USA-Mexico, and Norway would all be sitting on 7 points, which means it goes to head-to-head results instead of goal difference. In that specific group, we'd have 1 point, USA-Mexico would have 2, and Norway would have 3. But, if Spain wins, then we're golden—we take first, USA-Mexico takes second, and Spain lands third. So, if that Nor-Špa game happens before our matchup against USA-Mexico and Spain takes it, we better hurry up and put some cash down on a draw for the US-USA-Mexico game.😁
