Ah, the 5 seconds a year I can be proud to be Belgian

This is a very honourable thing to do. I'm pretty sure the Dutch FA wouldn't have done the same.

Tbf, if belgium was tied for second place they wouldn't say that. But I still hella respect it right now

Tbf, when would they have the time also to catch up? The international calendar is full and the play offs are in March. I just don't see an opening on the calendar.

what a suprisingly principled stance from our FA. i can only aplaud it and hope UEFA follow suit

[–] NumberHunter1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Do the logistics just not allow for the match to be continued from the second half a few months later? Is it an issue with the rules?

How would a Sweden point impact on the wider competition for play-off spots?
