What the hell is romania doing here :D??

Romania is preparing to win next World Cup ;)

Nigeria finally accepted invitation :], so 13 teams will play. My proposition is one 4team group and three groups with 3 teams.

Today in the evening i will present the whole schedule

Mini World Cup

-Austria
-Ireland
-Romania
-Slovensko
-Türkiye
-Wales
-Belarus
-Venezuela
-Uruguay
- New Zealand
- Bosna i Hercegovina
- Russia
- Nigeria
(editado)

i think i should be 3 groups. one group with 5 teams and two groups with 4 teams.

we must have 5 weeks to play group with 5 teams.
groups with 4 teams will play all mathces in 3 weeks.

So it's not good possibility in my opinion.

And it's much easier to make semifinals when we have 4 groups.

28 Slovensko 1407.33 (1)
30 România 1373.79 (2)
36 Cymru 1300.58 (3)
38 Ireland 1225.18 (4)
39 Türkiye 1222.24 (5)
41 Rossiya 1194.58 (6)
42 Uruguay 1121.80 (7)
43 Österreich 1117.34 (8)
44 New Zealand 1066.10 (9)
45 Nigeria 888.06 (10)
-------------------------------------
20 Bosna i Hercegovina 1626.10 (11)
22 Venezuela 1600.00 (12)
Belarus 1600.00 (12)

Venezula and Belarus are both on 12th position so they will play in 4-teams group

Group A: 1,8,9
Slovensko
Österreich
New Zealand

Group B: 2,7,10
România
Uruguay
Nigeria

Group C: 3,6,11
Cymru
Rossiya
Bosna i Hercegovina

Group D: 4,5,12,12
Ireland
Türkiye
Venezuela
Belarus

If you accept this
I will create special thread for mini World Cup and present match fixtures in the first post there.
Please not create that thread before.
Because i will be also putting actual standings in the first post there

I'd suggest:

2x groups of 4

1x group of 5

Top 2 qualify from every group
3rd in the group of 5 qualifies
Highest point 3rd place team from a group of 4 also qualifies

Having groups of 3 will only lead to even fewer of the teams getting matches.

we don't have 8 weeks to play this :D

in my system there will be semifinals and also 5-8 and 9-12 matches.

So most of teams will play 4 matches.

Only this thirteen will play 3 matches. But then they could arrange friendly against teams who will be removed form World Cup

It wouldn't take 8 weeks

Group stages - play each team once (4 games)
Quarters
Semis
Final

That's 7 weeks :P.

tell me how do you want to play 5 teams group in 4 weeks :D It's impossible

Correct. Example fixture sheet:

week1

#1 vs. #2
#3 vs. #4
#5 week off

week2
#1 vs. #3
#2 vs. #5
#4 week off

week3
#1 vs. #5
#2 vs. #4
#3 week off

week4
#1 vs. #4
#3 vs. #5
#2 week off

week5
#2 vs. #3
#4 vs. #5
#1 week off

It seems to me excellent, we initiated the 6 of May?

why it must be 5 weaks? i think 8 weaks ok... i agree with mr_gibbage
when will the other world cup start up?

"interesting observation.

What the hell is romania doing here :D??"

I know the reason... :-"

5 teams group will play in 5 weeks time while 4 teams group will play in 3 weeks. And this teams must wait 2 weeks for this one group :/ Anyway i think 8 weeks is too long time because in my opinion we should also play against better teams who are playing in World Cup to get more experience.

I'm waiting for other managers opinions. If they are positive i will create fixtures tomorrow
