What scores constitutes a 'thrashing'


Recommended Posts

BBC sport has a headline saying 'Brazil thrash Chile..' Looked at the report see that the final score was 4-0.

 

Personally I wouldn't call that a thrashing, for me it needs to at least a five goal margin. 

 

4-0 is just a sound beating.

Guess it depends on the game and not only on the result.

If we would have scored only three against Cambridge, I still would call it a trashing based on how we played and how demoralized they became.

 

 

Three would have been a spanking.

Hmmm

 

4-0 for me is comprehensive win,    yet I would look at 5 - 1 as a thrashing. 

 

So, for me, a four goal margin above 4-0 . 

 

6-2 ? thrashing.

 

7-3?  thrashing?

 

But wait.....8 - 4 ...a highly unlikely score, but doesn't sound as bad as 7 -3 . 

 

Might need to think about this a bit more.

Remember Leeds lost 6-2 to Man United and got gushing praise throughout the game.
