Barbados intentionally scored an own goal to help them win by two thanks to a weird golden goal rule
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 дек 2018
- Barbados needed to win by two, but they were only up one. So instead of scoring in the traditional way they intentionally kicked in an own goal to get to extra time. That way, they'd have a chance at a golden goal that for some reason was worth two goals instead of just the usual one. Grenada spent three minutes trying to score on either net to keep themselves from getting knocked out, and the mayhem is still worth talking about today.

Looking at own goal footage, it seems to me that goalkeeper was not aware of this tactics. Also, it's funny how drawings in video show Barbados and Grenada playing at large stadium, when looking where they actually played.
But imagine if Grenada scored an own goal and now Barbados has to score another own goal, and the match just devolves into both teams just trying to score own goals to get/prevent the tie
That would’ve happened if Grenada could find their own net.
That's just soccer but with switched teams lol
not really cause while there is a tie, barbados would have to defend both goals while grenada can score in any of them
if grenada were to get a 1-goal lead or a give barbados a 1-goal lead, barbados to ensure a tie would have to score in the losing team's goal, regardless of whether it's them or grenada
You guys are leaving out that the field resets after each goal, so wouldn't both teams immediately own goal after every reset until the game is over? Almost like musical chairs lol
Its happen in Indonesian Cup ruclips.net/video/9NYUtpkmBgI/видео.html
Being from Barbados, I remember that match vividly. I swear to this day my side is still hurting from all the laughing while trying to watch this comedy of errors. 🤣
The real error occurred with the statisticians at the FA who set up the points and golden goal rule. This was also FIFAs fault because 93-95 they were experimenting the golden goal rule in various Confederations... it was just in CONCACAF that a team was clever enough to find a loophole during gametime, lol.
I have a question: How the hell did Granada fail to score an own goal? I mean, all I figure it would take is to kick the ball down your own side and have the goalie throw it in. Players can't run faster than a kicked ball surely.
Probably they didn’t realise what Barbados were up to until a few minutes after, but by then Barbados were already defending both goals

Reddit has ruined RUclips comments. Every single video on the platform is just dozens of kids thinking they’re being hilarious by making the lamest and least original jokes in the world
Here is why they made that rule: Golden Goal wasn't an official thing yet, so they wanted to test it in this Carribbean Cup. Usually in the group stages games can be tied but as they wanted to test the golden goal they decided that this time they wouldn't be tied but go into extra time as they would have more games in which the new golden goal could be tested. But why did count for two goals I hear you ask? Well, as was stated in the video goal difference matters. So they thought it would be unfair for teams who need a better goal difference to end the game when the golden goal is scored. So they decided that it would count double. And that's how we got here. Welcome to a moment in hist... no wait, wrong series.
Yeah, that's a thing that most people don't know about FIFA in general. When they come up with a new rule, they introduce it in a minor international tournament to test it out. If it works there they introduce it to major tournaments like the Men's World Cup or the UEFA European Championship, if it doesn't work, they remove it. Like, for example, in the 1993 U-17 World Cup FIFA introduced a rule that the throw in had to be done by kicking the ball instead of throwing it in with your hands like it was always been done. Nobody ended up liking what happened with that change so they dropped after that tournament was over.
They had 90 minutes if they needed a better goal differential
@@TheMintedAero1993 I didn't say the rules makes sense or made any sense back then, I just explained why they made it up.
Aaa, thank you for the explanation, this was missing from the whole story. Normally Grenada would be happy to draw, so I didn't understand what was this all about.

Why was their even extra time in a group stage?
from wikipedia: Tournament organizers had decided that any matches where the score was tied at the end of the normal 90 minutes should go to extra-time, with a golden goal to count as double.
@@tongchen1226 I know that. But was their any reason for that given by the organizers?
@@Pabig93 ties are boring and they get more adertising money with longer matches
I guess its because the tournaments have those rules where if its a tie they take it to extra time WITH a golden goal that counts as 2 goals
*there
In case any of you are wondering, IFAB got rid of the golden goal from the Laws of The Game after Euro 2004
Euro 2004 was using the "silver goal" !
It was the best option even without this 2 goal fuckery. There's a reason they split the ET in half and let each team kick off to start once. Imagine if one team scored at the beginning of the ET right as they kicked off to start it and ended it right there, the other team would have been furious because they never got the chance to do the same thing by starting with the ball at the beginning like the other team did.
every116 you right
Not surprised. Both teams would’ve parked the bus at extra time at golden goal.
Well, i remember at the semi final Greece won Czech at stoppage time of the first half of extra time. And the match ended there. The one and only chance we would have won the euro.

@@Marxsychosis cuz it feels so empty without me
nah he would have scored in the correct goal for a change
Just read up about this! Grenada only had the superior goal difference (of +2) because they themselves had beaten Puerto Rico "2-0" in the previous match because of a double-point golden goal!
So, if you ignore any extra time period and ignore that every match required a winner (for some reason), and the fact that, therefore, Barbados wouldn't have scored the deliberate own goal, then the table would have looked like this;
W D L GF GA GD Pts
Puerto Rico 1 1 0 1 0 +1 4
Barbados 1 0 1 2 2 0 3
Grenada 0 1 1 1 2 -1 1
Puerto Rico would have therefore gone through to the 'Final Tournament'
It gets weirder though....
In group 4, Dominica progressed, but only after beating Saint Kitts & Nevis using the same 2-point extra time malarky. If the game between them had finished a draw (as it was 2-2 at full time), then Saint Kitts & Nevis would have been ahead of Dominica on goal difference. However, (and to add to the weirdness) there was still one more game each in their group to be played, yet seemingly the game between Saint Kitts & Nevis never went ahead (?), whilst the game between Dominica and Monserrat was cancelled because of crowd trouble! So who knows how that would have actually panned out there!?
In the 'Final Tournament' the absurd rules were seemingly abolished, and the organisers reverted to a '3 points for a win, 1 for a draw' system that was the standard practise before they got creative. In the 1st round of the 'Final Tournament' there were 2 groups of 4 teams made up of the 6 group 'winners', the hosts, Trinidad & Tobago, and the previous winners, Martinique, with the top 2 teams in each group progressing to the Semi Final.
In a final piece of irony, the Final ended up being played between Martinique and Trinidad & Tobago, the only 2 teams not to have played in the madness of the Qualifying Tournament, which rendered the whole thing pointless in the first place!

_That_ disastrous Thailand v Indonesia match is so facepalm worthy, especially as an Indonesian myself. Good thing karma catches up on both teams in general and the guy actually scoring the own goal in particular. Both short term (both teams lost their semi matches) and long term (both teams got fined $40k and the own goal guy barred from domestic soccer for a year and international soccer for life).

Scoring as Grenada is actually harder than it seems. They don't get the ball at kickoff. Barbados scored an own goal, so they get to kick off. So Grenada has 3 minutes to not only score a goal, but take the ball first.
Im sad they got rid of this rule. Would love it if the last 5 minutes of a champions league match went down like this. It wouldnt be fair, but it sure would be fun.
mike csany in the champion league this can never happen. No extra time in group stages and knockout rounds doesn’t have a table associated with it
and no golden goal
Wrong. You can apply pressure to win the ball back because you don't have to worry about giving up a goal. Then attack your own net, because any bounce off than opponent and your GK can use his hands.
@@voetbal12 still doesnt mean grenada can rush their opponents. With the same logic barbados can use the length and width of the entire field to keep possesion. Also, they are presumably the better team.
This is all theory though, because I dont think in the moment they had enough time to really figure out any of this.
@@spacebar1111 No they can't because: 1) They'd still be offside, and 2) If you literally don't care about getting scored on it's SO much easier to win the ball back.

not all tournament using fifa rules. some of them use their own rules to make the tournament special.
like usa league before mls, when one of the team must win the game no matter what. so there's no tie in the whole season. same like their rules in all kind of sport in usa.
or in old indonesian league where finish at the top of the table doesn't make you champion, but make you qualify to quarter final with other teams in the top 8 of the table.
i'm sure some african & oceanian country have their own special rules as well.
Depends on the tournament. In 2016 Caribbean Cup also had a similar rule but instead of a 2 point Golden Goal, every match had to have a winner.
You guys will want to talk about the 1998 F1 British Grand Prix. Michael Schumacher was leading the race in the last laps, when he was given a 10-second stop&go penalty for lapping another driver despite yellow flags (or under the safety car, I can't remember), and, at that point of the race, serving his whole penalty would have meant for Schumacher to lose too much time and to end up behind title-contender Mika Hakkinen (his advantage was bigger than just 10 seconds, but you know, in the pit lane you're not allowed to drive faster than a certain speed).
But in F1, you have to serve your penalty within three laps from being told to do so, so his team (Ferrari) called him in on the very last lap of the race. Schumacher did enter the pit lane to serve his penalty, but in doing so he crossed the finish line (which extends across the pit lane) before reaching his pit box and won the race without having served his penalty.
There were no rules forbidding this smart move (and no time for Schumacher to serve his penalty earlier due to a late communication by the race directors), so McLaren's (Hakkinen's team) appeal ended up being useless.
Definitely the story of a weird rule!
I guess online you can find more even information about that episode :)
Thanks, great comment.
I am not a Schumacher fan but this was very smart from his point of view. The penalty however was given after the maximum number of laps you can give a penalty and the penalty wasn't told what it was clearly.
I really want these guys to do this one! It would be a change in pace (get it? GET IT!?) from the usual team sports stories.
Jeff Burton did a very similar thing in the 2002 NASCAR All-Star Race as well. The All-Star event is an exhibition mainly done for fun and experimentation, so the rules are changed every year. In this particular year, there was a rule that every team had to pit before the end of the first segment of the race. A set of drivers were eliminated at the end of each segment, so you needed to finish above a certain position to advance. So everyone on the lead lap had already pitted before the last lap of the first segment...except Jeff Burton. Since he stayed out on the track while everyone pitted, he had accumulated a 26 second lead. It typically takes around 27 seconds to complete a lap at Charlotte Motor Speedway (the track where the All-Star Race is held) in a NASCAR Cup car. He and his team had realized that their assigned pit stall was before the start finish line but very close to it, so they pitted the car on the final lap since they only needed to basically leave the pit stall to touch the line. Burton did lose the lead from having to slow down to pit lane speed, which was expected, but he didn't lose enough positions to be eliminated.
People always find ways to game the system. F1 has a lot of convoluted rules.
This is one of those stories that’s just so incredibly wacky and fascinating despite the fact I know literally nothing about soccer/football.
Just one thing to add, Grenada had also benefited from the rule that golden goal counted as two. Their previous game against Puerto Rico ended 0-0 in regulation time; Grenada won with a golden goal in extra time so the final score was 2-0 and that's why Barbados had to win with a difference of 2 goals or more.
Grenada never scored an own game in the first place.

Why would Barbados not wait until around the 89th minute or so to score on themselves. Not only did they limit their opportunity to score the 3rd goal, they also left time for Grenada to score either way. It was a smart strategy but they implemented it very poorly.

@@edge0sub0mgl Grenada didn't figure out what they were doing until Barbados scored on themselves, if Grenada took the ball from them Barbados could just act like their D fell apart and Grenada would tie the game without hesitation.
@@thisishandlenumber2048 still a risk if the Grenada side did the same thing as Barbados by stalling the ball on their side of the field
@@edge0sub0mgl Exactly. Grenada knew they would advance if they lost by one goal, so they were likely sitting back and defending with no offensive effort to tie the game.
But because Barbados scored the own goal, they would have possession of the ball at kickoff, so it's not as bad as it sounds, because Grenada would then have to go and get possession off Barbados before they could consider defending the goals.

Something like this happened to me in a head to head game of Mario Kart. Both of us had Blue Shells and started racing BACKWARD to get into 2nd place to prevent the other player from using their shell and getting too large of a lead.
I ended up winning by making a sudden U-turn, while we were both racing at full speed the wrong way, then gaining such a huge lead so quickly (Mario Kart DS; I was a snaking bastard, so the other guy was nowhere near as fast) that his Blue Shell wasn't powerful enough to close the gap between us.
They're playing fifa house rules lmao

I was waiting for this episode ahaha, one of the strangest matches ever
*Imagine defending the opposition’s goal so you don’t score*
😬🤯
So they don’t score an own goal
I’m just imagining Grenada taking the kickoff and all of the Barbados players running towards the opposite net to protect it... or Grenada’s goalie grabbing the ball and bulldozing through Barbados players on his way to his own net
Except Barbados had the kickoff because they "conceded" the own goal. That's what made it harder for Grenada.
A similar dynamic happened in baseball, in the National League in 1965 (I think), in a game between STL and the MIL Braves. STL took a big lead early. Then a towering, ferocious storm approached in the 4th inning. The Braves, when they were on defense, tried to keep the game going by NOT putting batters or runners out. The let ground balls go thru their legs. They let fly balls drop. The Cardinals hitters took a few minutes to realize what the Braves were doing. When they did, they decided to not stop at bases, but to keep running around the bases, trying to get tagged out. As you might guess, it made a laughing stock of the game. It came down to one more out. One more out and the game would be an official game Finally, 3rd baseman Eddie Mathews of the Braves said, apparently, "Screw this mockery," and tagged the Cardinal runner out. The Braves then came to bat in their half of the 5th, and the Cardinals got them out, making it enough to be an official game. If not, the game would have to be replayed from the beginning, with the score reverting to 0-0. That was the reason the Braves tried this, to not let the game become an official complete game.
The irony was that the rainstorm never happened at the stadium. It passed them by. They played the whole game. STL won handily. The strategem was clever, but it failed. But it was sure a DIFFERENT sort of game.
I was in the hospital and was listening to all of this, with THREE future Hall of Fame announcers describing this mayhem - Harry Carey, Joe Garagiola, and Jack Buck.
That's even funnier than the barbados game
This actually happened one other time, in the 1998 AFF Championship (Southeast Asia). In the final game of the group stage, an Indonesian player scored a deliberate own goal to give Thailand a 3-2 win. The winner would face tournament hosts Vietnam in the next round and the loser would play Singapore, looked upon as the easier team to beat. The plan backfired as Indonesia lost to Singapore and Thailand lost to Vietnam. FIFA fined both teams $40,000, and the Indonesian player who scored the own goal was banned from the national team for life.
Thanks for sharing.

This is one of the best examples of this format working well. Both Will and Ryan are way into the story, they both have interesting points to make, and their personalities gel in a way where you could believe they're really just having this conversation because it's funny to them.
Finland tried doing this in the Euro hockey tour in ice hockey like 10 years ago. Swedish players were covering the finnish net. This was because some kind of point system to win the entire tournament Finland needed to get the game to extra time, don't remember why.
i can only assume the INTENDED Logic behind the 2goal GG was because it would cause teams to attack eachother more during extra time (where it can get boring for fans ESP with tired legs) to get rewarded with TWO goals vs holding out for penalties ( a ala Greece through much of Euro 2004 and even Morocco to an extent vs SPain though thats a legit tactic vs an elite team tbh and it worked soooo lol)
It's to make up for the fact that a golden goal ends the game, stoping them from getting another goal
Yeah exactly that’s why Golden Goal was brought out it in the first place. Lots of fans were getting tired of teams of weaker sides playing defensively and waiting for a shootout because it was seen as dull and unfair.
This tourney is messed up. Why is there extra time in group play. It should just end in a draw
Matthew Dworschak draws suck
james charles yeah right bro
Because there was only 3 teams and not 4 in the groups, therefore for the math to add up, you would have to get wins or losses, unless you wanted to play yet another match for a tie-breaker
in every other football sport (American football, Rugby, Australian Rules football, etc), there always has to be a winner. So similar rules could be introduced in Association football if FIFA wanted. Any rules can be introduced in any sport
Playing extra time in a group/round-robin stage is a stupid idea.
This is actually hilariously awesome, well done SBnation😂
Great video! Short and sweet, gives us the info and no extra fluff, great graphics!
You guys tell the most entertaining fascinating most well researched stories. Thank you.
I'm glad this came up in my feed.
Left out a very important detail: There was a rule in place for that particular tournament where there had to be a winner in each match inspite of it being a round robin league. Thus the golden goal rule being in place then.
I had to do some extra research to better grasp the logic behind this bizzare incident. Lol
What research need to be done, don't know much about these all. So, want to understand this.
I'm glad to inform you that this is now the most viewed video on this channel, despite having so few videos about football (soccer) here! That's the power of the best sport in the world. *You cannot stop us you can only hope to contain us*
Soccer 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
in theory, 2 points for a golden goal makes sense if the aim is to discourage playing out extra time in the hope of going to penalties, but having this rule in a group format, well, it got what it deserved
I remember seeing this on TV as they look back "on this day" and it still crack me up
Cool video, but you forget to mention that the organisers of this tournament included a rule that all matches had to end up with a winner (draws were not allowed even at the group stage). This rule is very unusual and it allowed for these shenanigans to go down - with standard FIFA rules this game would've just ended up in a tie with no over time. Keep making videos like this, though!
yes, i was royally confused until someone pointed out the unlimited extra time (until the first goal scored). i was thinking "there's rarely as much as 8 minutes extra time, so why wouldn't you use the 8 minutes left in regulation to try to go up by two goals."
The problem with this isn't the golden goal by itself but the idiotic idea of making it worth 2 goals.
Thank you for clarification. I was wondering what tournament has Golden Goal in the group stage.
"Barbados you magnificent bastard" I bursted out
I used to think of myself as an intellectual, until I came here.
Being of Barbadian (Bajan) heritage, I have never heard of this event. I also would have been in university at the time so I was pretty busy not following the national team of my parents' birth. But also as a univeristy math major, I would find it totally befitting that Barbados would have gone through the permutations of scores of the game and realized this situation where they would then make the decision to play for the tie and get an extra 30 minutes to score 1 goal instead of trying to score it in the last few minutes of regulation time. Pure genius and a moment in history that makes me proud to say I am a Bajan Canadian.
Did you ever do one about the little person who walked in an MLB game because his strike zone was too small and then inspired the rule that says you are not allowed to make a mockery of the game?

@@bondjames8225 Hell, I'm shorter than 5'6", and I...have never played a successful game of baseball
I've watched this a million times and it still gets recommended 24/7
I had never heard of this until today - great video !
This came from the comment section? I don't believe it; if it was it would be a chart analysis of places where Jon Bois could be.
Rewinder tho
I actually saw the comment, that's why I looked this up. It is somewhere under the video about the NHL coach that got rules changed by constantly trolling the system.
The whole caribean 1994 cup was nuts
Ngl thats insanely smart thinking, the players have ran their hearts out for 80+ minutes, crowd cheering loud, heavy pressure from the whole nation for them to progress, nerves and then the players came up with this genius idea with all those factors happening
The players have a manager and team lol. They do the thinking for them.
Granada's goalie could've just picked up the ball and walked into his goal. Would take some serious skill to stop him from getting near to the goal or for it to go out for a goal kick.
Don’t even have to stop him cuz imagine if Granada actually scored an own goal then the same situation will fall on Berbados as in they can score in each goal to either win it or take it to extra time they could just do the exact same
a goalie can't touch the ball with his hands outside of the small zone near the net. but still, he could've been a huge help, i agree.
am I stupid? everyone seems to think this, but I'm pretty sure if Grenada purposely loses, then they fall below Barbados in the group stage...
No, if they lose by 1 goal they would win the group stage
Please Please Please make more football/soccer videos (love the ones already, especially the Manchester city rewinder). It would be great to see a rewinder for the Watford vs. Leicester 2013 play off semi final. Potentially the greatest minute in sports history, such a significant game with so much drama
ruclips.net/video/PrFOTT_y8C0/видео.html here's a link to it well worth a watch and a rewinder
Aguerooooo!!!
HERES HOGG..........DEENEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Just do the whole 2013 championship playoffs. Between the Watford vs Leicester, Those Leicester players rebounding to win the Premier League. Palace vs Brighton, Zaha carrying Palace on what was supposed to be his last few games, Glenn Murray's injury, Kevin Phillips scoring the winner in the final, and that every team is now in the Premier League there is so much to talk about.
I heard in Football Daily years ago but wanted to see in depth!
I never thought I'd see my country (Barbados) here on SB Nation but this story is still mentioned occasionally back home.
Dibufala (USA) and Barcelona (Spain) did something like that in the 1997 intercontinental futsal cup, neither team wanted to play against Internacional (Brazil) in semi finals so both teams tried to lose the game on purpose
LMAO, I would have enjoyed seeing this live. That was golden.
when he said "calvin ball," THAT GAVE ME LIFFFEEE
Exactly!!!
Calvin and Hobbes 😍
The Secret Base familiarity with Calvin and Hobbes is criminally underappreciated
In 2019, I watched this and Today I got recommended again by RUclips.
5:02 according to Wikipedia, Grenada also benefitted from the golden goal rule against Puerto Rico. If that rule hadn't been in place Barbados would have only needed to win by one goal.
Not only was the golden goal worth two points, but there wasn't an option to draw the match. With such rules, in a group of three teams, a deadlock of all three teams having three points by the end is very likely. Meaning the only way of determining the winner of the group would be the goal difference. How someone hasn't thought that the goal worth two goals would be the problem is baffling.
that's better than a triple tie of ties.
@@gerardsotxoa Maybe in kindergarten
@@gerardsotxoa those hardly happen and they use head-to-head or goal difference to seperate.
After that they use who scores the most goals overall.
Then if it's still a tie, they use who got the least amount of cards (red & yellow cards).
If there is still a tie, then they use who committed the least amount of fouls overall.
In my 30 years of watching football. I have never seen it come as far as who got the least cards.
And they had used these rules, it'd be much better.
Actually the Golden-Goal-Rule was only introduced to soccer in the mid-nineties. The UEFA-Euro 1996 was the first senior tournament to use it, with its final being decided by a Golden Goal by Oliver Bierhoff. Before that they used it in smaller tournaments in order to check out what impact that rule would have towards the game. And that is what happened at the 1994 Caribbean Cup. To gain more examples they also sent group-stage-matches to overtime. And since without Golden Goal it would be possible to score more than once in overtime, they decided a Golden Goal should be worth two goals in terms of goal differential.
But that did not conflict with the later regularly introduced Golden-Goal-rule, because that would only be used in knockout-stage-matches, where there is no goal differential.
I think the funniest thing about this rule is that this is technically still a viable strategy in any non-Golden goal scenario. If you’re playing in a tourney where extra time isn’t golden goal and you need to win by two to advance, scoring on yourself to give yourself 30 extra minutes to score two goals is 100% viable as a tactic if you only have say a minute or two left, stupid as that may seem
i'd say few seconds, not a minute, but true. weird it isn't a practice, i guess the stupid way of "respecting the spirit of the game" is to blame.
This doesn’t happen, because usually when goal difference is accounted for in a group stage where a tie is also an option, so no need to go to an extra time. Extra time is only needed in knock off stages. I am really not sure why they needed to extra time in this tourney.
No this can't happened. Extra time only happens in knockout rounds. In a normal game a tie would just earn each team 1 point.
In this particular tournament they made it so that a tie would go to extra time because they wanted as many extra times as possible to test this stupid golden goal rule
There is literally not one case of a game that can go to extra time on a tie, but would end at "1-0" and not mean the winning team has gone through to the next stage.
For this to make any sense you have to mention that there were no draws allowed during the group phase. Normally this isnt the case
Barbados: scores own goal
Grenada: lmao what were they even thinking
Barbados: my goals are beyond your understanding.
Lmao perfect
My goodness, they need to bring this rule back.
OMG how many questions can you ask these geniuses…
1 - Why could the BAR - GRE match reach extra time if PUERTO RICO was also participating??
2 - Why could the BAR - GRE match reach extra time if the championship had a LEAGUE format?
3 - When Barbados were 2 - 1, they were one goal away from making the final… what final??? This was a league between 3 teams, score the most points & goals and you get to be champion, that should be the rule.
4 - When Barbados were 2 - 1, they were one goal away from creating the +2 goal difference they needed. But then they wanted the extra time, the golden goal. So they wanted to be in a DIFFERENT position… where they would be ONE GOAL AWAY FROM CREATING THE DIFFERENCE THEY NEEDED!! They were already in that situation!
5 - the 11 players wanting to score in either net and 11 players defending both nets makes the offside rule collapse in such a BEAUTIFUL way. The now-all-defending team can’t touch the ball when it’s nearing the goal they were previously attacking, unless they defend always being behind the second-to-last allattacking team. Also, what should the allattacking goalie do? Try to “save” attempts or join the army?
6 - You said the Granada coach protested against this… What about THE WHOLE OF PUERTO RICO??? They got sooo ripped off.
Such interesting content m8s. This video blew my mind. There should be leagues with alldefending and allattacking teams… and the offside rule. Especially in central America hahahaha
"My genius is beyond your understanding"
As a Barbadian, I am proud
.... And kids that was one of the best/smartest match I have ever watched
Great video!
If they were home imagine if the crowd was chanting “Score an own goal!”
Not only could they have gone 11 players on 5-6 on one goal, they could have focused them on their own goal where the other team’s keeper couldn’t use his hands.
This is John von Neumann's favorite sports moment.
This needs to happen more in every sport
This is why it helps to know ALL the rules of something that you compete in so that if anything ever changes, you can quickly be aware of the changes and adapt to them, especially for your advantage.
LMAO wow. That mental image of how the final 5 minutes devolved.
Hey guys I would just like to point out that the "weird rule" wasn't the "2 goals for 1" rule.
Have you guys noticed that they played extra time despite being in the qualifiers? Exactly. The problem here was the "each game must have a winner" rule.
If it weren't for this rule, this situation wouldn't have occurred, because Barbados would HAVE to have won by 2 goals in 90 minutes; as there was no extra time regardless of result. If this was a bracket tournament match and the golden goal was used as a tie-breaking measure, it wouldn't have mattered how much the golden goal was worth.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Caribbean_Cup
Agreed. Mind, both rules were totally stupid. As for the match, in the last 3 minutes Grenada didn't have to score a conventional goal with an outfield player; all they had to do was get the ball into their own penalty area and into their keeper's hands. That would just about guarantee the required own goal. The last 3 minutes of the match is impossible to find, so my guess is that Grenada didn't actually suss out Barbados's plan at all. This video and all the chat is about what 'could' have happened rather than what actually did.
@@chriscurtain1816 Barbados would've gotten the kickoff after a goal on their net, I saw someone point out. That would make much more sense how they could've played shenanigans for a few minutes.
Thank you! The fact that the golden goal rule was not being applied to knock out matches, that was more odd!
Honestly this sounds like a more exciting game than the usual rules.
This needs an anime adaptation.
Cool video.
In a similar but more consequential vein, you should do a video on the 2019 cricket world cup and how they resolved a tie in the final...
What about the offside *rule*
*THE POOR REFEREE*
Barbados to Grenada: "My goals are beyond your understanding."
Love the Calvin and Hobbes reference
When I first heard about this happening I was crying with laughter about the concept of trying to score at both ends
