There's no law or rule that says you can't qualify out of your group while building a team for the future.
He currently/presently has the team to do such.
I don't understand the deliberate lowering of standards for Rohr. All he did was just qualify us for the World Cup... he is yet to do anything to justify the confidence you guys are bestowing on him as if he is the only one capable of doing something most of our coaches have done since 94.
Not quite sure I understand the basis of the confidence in this team on here...(more on that in a piece I'm working on btw)
I would just add that decisions such as this would need to be made on the basis of proper analysis not a blanket rule.
Why do I say this?
There is a 2nd round finish that is still worthy of a sack!
So, what is/are your bare minimum expectations?
Or do you retain him based on "artistic merit" and "degree of difficulty"?
Our expectations are QF at least but that is not to say we go ahead and just "sack" if those expectations are not met.
Txj is right.
There shouldn't be a blanket rule. That's just silly.
There are a million scenarios that can get us ejected from the tournament before our expectations are met and they may not be down to the coach at all.
Hypothetical Scenario 1:
We beat Croatia
Draw with Iceland
Lose to Argentina 2-3 from a last minute goal which cameras show was clearly offside.
We lose out on goal difference to Croatia, all down to that dubious goal.
We sack Rohr one time.Hypothetical Scenario 2We draw with Croatia.
We beat Iceland
We draw 1-1 with Argentina with 10 men after we have Ndidi sent off on 55 minutes after a dive by Aguero cons the ref.
Argentina scapes through with Croatia.
We sack Rohr one time.Hypotheical Scenario 3:We lose to Croatia
We draw with Iceland
We beat Argentina 2-0 but need to win by 3 clear goals to qualify
Argentina and Croatia go through
We sack Rohr one time.Now you tell me how impossible these scenarios are and what beneft there is to moronically following a blanket rule as is being suggested.
