rmY - with your expected 7 bookings, will anyone get sent off, or wil they spread them around?

It was probably cheaper to build a new stadium instead of converting the old one (which would be too big for Sachsen Leipzig's needs) into an all-seater, and also with the upkeep costs it would be again cheaper in the long run.

Good start by Mexico

And stadium photos now as well.

Makes sense. It just seemed odd to me to take away more than half of the capacity. I assume they built the new one for WC '06.

The site I use has a points system - they have this down as 70.5 points. 10 points for a yellow, 25 for a red. So, they're suggesting 7 yellows, 5 yellows + red, 2 reds + 2 yellows, etc, more or less.

Opener for Mexico.

Wow!

Chisanga · 06-24-2006, 04:05 PM

The Professor · 06-24-2006, 04:05 PM

redmarkYankees · 06-24-2006, 04:06 PM

Wow. Great start for Mexico, this is going to be good if Argentina want to progress

Absolutrly rubbish marking by Argie defence then at the far post

MEXICO! MEXICO! Vamos a ganar!!!

redmarkYankees · 06-24-2006, 04:08 PM

Revised: Argentina still favourites to win in 90 minutes (now evens), but Mexico now 2/1 instead of 13/1. I still think Argentina will win, but I wish I'd taken that 13/1, could offset it now for a nice profit.

Yep they did indeed.
Although Düsseldorf built a new stadium, the LTU-Arena (to replace the Rheinstadion) to try and host games, and didn't get any given to them.
