Useless International matches

[Notorious Big]

Are they play-offs seeded or just a random draw?

The draw for the second round (play-offs) will be held on 17 October 2017 at the FIFA headquarters in Zürich, Switzerland.[44] The winner of each tie will qualify for the World Cup.

Some tasty qualifiers in the South America region tonite.

Argentina vs Peru

Chile vs Ecuador - Chile's next match is away at Brasil

Dunno why we have to have Giggs punditing on England matches when he played for Wales.

I was thinking about Arsenal in the Champions League and qualifying for it but not really coming close.

well you're spot on with that assessment actually but at least we bomb out to good teams...usually

Southgate should just persist with 3-4-3 at this stage. The likes of Walker, Dier, Stones, Cahill, Sterling, Kane, Alli, etc are all used to the formation. Even guys like Keane, Welbeck, Rose have played in it at club level in recent times.

I wish I could have some enthusiasm for Internationals, haven't seen a game for ages. I used to love the WC qualifiers, they were big games and the whole country paid attention. I don't think its because we are a poor team, we haven't won anything since 1966, I'm not sure what it is but I know I'm not alone in having zero interest, and I wish that wasn't the case.

Another classic Hampden night. Deserved win for the home side (courtesy of Skrtl).

Scotland "in the mix" during the final round of fixtures. Waited a while for that sort of drama! Looking forward to Sunday.

You can all book your tickets to Russia now.

I'd be happier if everyone boycotted it tbh. Screw the Russian WC.

Imagine having Kane as your captain... That is bigger low than sacking Big Sam.

Don't know why he's not considered a colossal **** for what he did to his brother. You wouldn't see John Terry doing punditry with his controversial background.

Nothing but sideways passers in the midfield

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Klopp and Southgate are desperate to prove that Wenger was somehow the problem and Ox should be a right winger. They will find out soon enough that Chamberlain is a little piece of **** footballer that can only do okay things as Right wing back. Or on the bench. Or at Aston Villa.

How about that Group I ? That's a tense mf!

TOMORROW we have Iceland play one of their most important games yet. They go and play Turkey away , in a match that could possibly be the end of qualification hopes for whoever loses it. Turkey fresh off their amazing win vs. Croatia last month will surely be thinking they have a chance here too, their supporters are always loud and they're currently two points behind Iceland. It's a must win for both sides, no other way about it.
In the other games , Ukraine who are also equal on points with Turkey will have to go to Kosovo (the lowest ranked team in the league, but even they aren't that bad..) Meanwhile Croatia host our friends from Finland.
The optimist in me is looking at a upset here, maybe a surprise point for Finland, who've shown they're a decent team on their day and will not lose to anyone without a fight (or like that Icelandic saying goes, they're no lamb to play with)
I've just read there are twenty seven possible outcomes for this group after these two games, so it's going to be on the edge until the final whistle.
If we (ICELAND) manage the win in Turkey, we're half way there...because in the last match of the group, on Monday we face Kosovo (who again, are still pretty good for a lowest ranked) meanwhile Ukraine host Croatia. That match will be the key match for me, if Ukraine manage a win there, they're guaranteed at least 2nd place (obviously depending on the earlier results tomorrow but honestly, a team that has Ousmane Dembele's replacement at Dortmund playing for them should beat Kosovo with all due respect)

So, to sum it up, I'm losing my mind thinking about all the possible outcomes in this group and we need to win tomorrow for a possible national celebration (hehe þjóðhátíð) on Monday night. We're trying to qualify for our first ever WORLD CUP.

We used to have better teams than we have now. We always used to get the QF, even got to the semis once and lost on pens.

I think you would, the BBC has Joey Barton on, I think the media outlets think controversial figures get audiences.

I wish they would too. They have the respect racism thingy going on and the Russian fans are terrible when a black guy plays. Plus they are thugs, as per noticed in the Euros last year. I wouldn't go to watch if someone paid me.

Ox not a happy bunny.

How do people post pictures not links?

I suppose actually. I just hate Giggs.

 

[Juan Matas Beard]

Harry Winks, Lallana or even Wilshere, honestly I don't care who gets picked but anything to stop Henderson-Dier.
