Never heard about this before :lol:

- Grenada went into the match with a superior goal difference, meaning that Barbados needed to win by two goals to progress to the finals. The trouble was caused by two things. First, unlike most group stages in football competitions, the organizers had deemed that all games must have a winner. All games drawn over 90 minutes would go to sudden death extra time. Secondly and most importantly, there was an unusual rule which stated that in the event of a game going to sudden death extra time the goal would count double, meaning that the winner would be awarded a two goal victory.

Barbados was leading 2-0 until the 83rd minute, when Grenada scored, making it 2-1. Approaching the dying moments, the Barbadians realized they had little chance of scoring past Grenada's mass defense in the time available, so they deliberately scored an own goal to tie the game at 2-2. This would send the game into extra time and give them another half hour to break down the defense. The Grenadians realized what was happening and attempted to score an own goal as well, which would put Barbados back in front by one goal and would eliminate Barbados from the competition.

However, the Barbados players started defending their opposition's goal to prevent them from doing this, and during the game's last five minutes, the fans were treated to the incredible sight of Grenada trying to score in either goal while Barbados defended both ends of the pitch. Barbados successfully held off Grenada for the final five minutes, sending the game into extra time. In extra time, Barbados notched the game-winner, and, according to the rules, was awarded a 4-2 victory, which put them through to the next round. -

That's awesome. :lol: And shows the extremes of how bad rules in sport lead to bad behavior.

Americuh have turned my siblings to total capitalists, my lil bro keep going to Mall Of America and sending me text msgs and pics (same dude who never likes buying shit unless its absolutely necessary), and my big sis who is afraid of the dark apparently went into one of the largest caves in the world somewhere in the US, asked her why she went into a dark pit she said "well I paid for it" Like its a reasonable reason hehe :pp
In the rest of the world, people hang out in a deep pit with no electricity and just call it "poverty". In America, chumps pay for that.

There are even idiots who pay for a weekend to pick grapes at vineyards. Yep, they break out a credit card for the reward of doing what some sweaty illegal alien does for a living. Go figure.

1 down, 1 to go. :D

Happy best day of your life, Andy :D
:weee:

I'll add "Special" in front next.
Every kiss begins with it.

Why not Independence Day? Tom Cruise has alimony coming up and Will Smith needs a new pool.
