Does anyone have any results for the following matches in Oceania ?

  25/09/92 Australia  vs   Solomon Is.
  26/09/92 Vanuatu    vs   Fiji Is.

Were they played? (As Australia and New Zealand have already qualified, they may
have been scrapped) Thanks in advance for any information.

There will be  1 group of 4 teams in the final stage of the CONCACAF region.
This group will be made up of the top two teams from each group, which
currently Mexico is seeded top on one and Canada in other. If Mexico
wins the final stage group, i don't see why Costa Rica/Honduras can be
runners up unless both are in the same group with Mexico.

Group 1    Group 2
-------    -------
Mexico     Canada
?          ?
?          ?
?          ?

Final stage
-----------
1)
2)
3)
4)

2) goes on to play Oceania winners

p.s. if someone has the rest of the teams for G1 & G2, please post. Thanks.

Now everyone have had some time to look at games with the
new "backpass" rule, how do you think it has changed the 
tactics of the game? (_if_ it has).

From watching the highlights of the English Premiere
League, it seem to me that there is less building up
play from the backs, a theory for this being that
with the safe option of the backpass to goal banned, 
the tendency is to play safe by rushing the ball 
forward up the field. The lack of a safe option has
forced previous "lets knock the ball around at the back
for a bit while the midfield and forwards try to
create an opening" behavior out of the picture.

Of course it may just be that English soccer is
going backwards :-) /or should that be :-( / 
Athough we also get Euro and Italian Highlights 
in Australia (hooray for SBS!), I haven't been 
watching them lately, so I can't comment on other 
leagues.

So, does anybody agree with me?

Ploughing through newspapers such as the New York Times, it appears that
America is living in the past judging by the amount of news coverage
given to the return of Maradona. Sure he might still be a class player, but
his days at the top are long gone, so why do the Americans persist in
treating him like some God like superstar. His performance in Italy 90
showed that he is finished as a top performer. the Americans should be
actively  trying to promote the '94 Finals instead of living in the past.
A lot of Americans  probably don't even know that the finals will
be played in the US, so why not a bit more exposure and promotion.
Yir average boozer could do with some fitba' in it for starters !

Carlisle played in the First Division in the 1974-5 season.  They were promoted along
with Middlesbrough and Luton in the first year of 3-up 3-down between 2nd and 1st,
but only Boro lasted more than 1 season in the top flight.  Among those relegated in
1974 were Manchester United, and indeed Man Utd are the only team Carlisle have never
played in a League match.

Carlisle started well and were top of the League in September, but being local 
celebrities allegedly affected the players, leading to them spending more time in
night clubs than in training ... allegedly.  They also scored the first goal in
League football that year (Bill Green, against Chelsea).

The team at that time included the likes of Green, Joe Laidlaw, Ray Train and
England cricketer Chris Balderstone.  

But they were never a patch on the likes of George Oghani and Riccardo Gabbiadini,
probly.

Cheers,

 >college not pro...

Yes, the colleges have to take up more of the load. In fact, it will
be the colleges that continue to produce at least half of the current
crop of US national team members. But there needs to be a conscious
effort to make sure that there is a place to go for the most talented
college players when they finish. Right now, some of them go to the APSL and
some go indoor. But the best still go to Europe.

If we are ever going to have stars here, the colleges must:

1) Adopt FIFA rules completely and not modify them (backpass, substitutions,
   clock, etc.)
2) Play both in the fall and the spring and get the stupid NCAA ban against
   club team play for college players dropped.

And the USSF, FIFA and the WC '94 folks   must realize the importance of
building something now at the pro level, relying primarily on US citizens
with no more that 3 internationals per team (rather than the NASL rule which
was just the opposite.

   Yes, I heard the decision this morning. Pardon my language, but it's

What's the point in making rules if you don't enforce them? Stuttgart
knew full well what they were doing: they put on a tall centre half to
combat the ever increasing threat of Chapman or Cantona scoring in the
last few mins. of the game. Leeds were playing a lot of high balls into
the Stuttgart box, and the appearance of this 4th foreigner may well
have saved Stuttgart. Is it one rule for the Germans, and another for

The same company, Wizard Games, have a new game out called one-nil. It

It is an extremely detailed soccer simulation. 

You can get this game from WIZARD GAMES at 4 HOSELAW, KELSO, TD5 8BP,

I don't think this is correct. Indeed, Mexico and Costa Rica are in
the same second round qualifying group, but the 1st and 2nd place
teams from each of the two second round groups qualify for the (final)
third round group of four teams. Thus both Mexico and Costa Rica can
make it to the third round and become winner and runner-up in the
region.

REPEAT!  STOP THIS MYTH!  LEMMINGS DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT, THROW THEMSELVES
OFF CLIFFS.  THIS VICIOUS LIE ABOUT THIS HARMLESS ARCTIC RODENT STARTED
WHEN A FILM CREW HERDED A GROUP OF LEMMINGS OFF A CLIFF.  YOU COULD DO THE
SAME THING WITH FOOTBALL FANS, AS SEVERAL TRAGEDIES HAVE SHOWN.

Well Sean,
	West Brom are doing quite well this year and as expected due to the
	management skills of one Mr Ardiles, playing some yery attractive 
	football. I must point out that they were doing well this time last 
	year and only bodged up at the end of the season when they did not
	sign Andy Dibble, the Man City goaly on a full contract after a loan 
	period when the goal conceeded rate lowered consideriabibly (Not very
	good spelling I know!). The fact that Mr Dibble is the player that
	I model my own goalkeeping skills upon is beside the point.

	Dibble
