I think we shoul be able to set ticket prices in decimals like $10.5

Making the candidates for NT elections readable by everyone, not only by managers from the country involved :

I'm candidating to be reelected as the U21 Al Jazaïr Coach. Yet, I won't know until the results arrive if there are other candidates because I am not from the country.
No one else did make a speech but no speech doesn't mean no other candidate, (nor defeat in small countries).

Up 3 months later !


I also would add the fact that I really consider unfair to begin the consolation tournament with 2 defeats
What happens to a small country that doesn't go to the finals of his continental championship ?
Repechages against big teams with almost no chances to be first.
Then, he begins the consolation tournament with 2 defeats.
In these conditions, it is really hard to expect to finish in the first 32 teams and we are at a disadvantage against other teams from our continent who might have the chance to play against a beatable team during the 2 first matches. (trying the win the right to bring the reception of the next continental championship is often the only objective we can expect).
And, what's more, we can't save young players because the reset comes during the week end of the first league match !

In soccer, in Champion's league, the 3rd ones at the end of the pool phase go to the Europa League without any disadvantage.
Why wouldn't it be the same here ? Starting with 1 win - 1 defeat instead of 2 defeat at last ?

Otherwise changing the schedule. Having the consolation tournament started one week later (and if necessary having 7 matches instead of 8 for the round robin phase) and having just one repechage match per continent between the 2 semi-finalists who didn't make it to the finals.

That's true, this system is unfair.

I like your last proposition. Maybe it's better to change the schedule. Why not to play the repechage between the 2 semi-finalists in the same time with the final? A kind of bronze medal game that gives a ticket for the world cup.

So the consolation tournament could start in the first week with every teams.

It should have been commented before... but would it be possible to add a negative rating (-1) for the posts? All forums outside BB have this option, but it really miss it sometimes here too.

Cheers.

It existed before but it became war so only positive appreciations have remained

I like that there isn't a negative button. People on forums are too negative these days and it's too easy to just click a button. If you've got criticism, you are at least forced to state why or look foolish for just arguing for the sake of it. Much better than hiding behind a button.

Yes, I prefer as it is now too.

I guess it really depends on countries too for NT.
In France, it is such a mess for the discussions about the election of the NT coach A that I can't imagine it would be better with such a button

Anyway, even having only a positive button is often used negatively in certain situations :
Manager A says something against Manager B. Those against B give +1 to A.
