Also managed by a complete clown

Ish, although De Bruyne & Hazard, E will both be 27 by the tournament so this is arguably the World Cup we're most likely to see them closest to their peaks.

Defence is actually arguably on the slide slightly. Vertonghen & Kompany both past 30 now and Alderwiereld is getting there.

Kompany will probably be injured anyway tbf

This ref is definitely on the take. ****ing joke of a decision.

 

[Furball]

**** off Switzerland

England have lots of pace, but football smarts and control in tight areas...not so much, but on their day could really pump a few goals past good sides.

Australia playing pretty well so far away in Honduras. Just the usual issue of being unable to convert.

Comms just saying Australia averaging 10 shots for each goal scored throughout the campaign so far.

 

[Athlai]

NZ actually still in this. Weird

The quality of the playoffs so far really doesn’t bode well for the main event.

That's about standard. Worldwide average is 8 or 9.

Ughh.

Decent second leg between Switzerland and Northern Ireland. Two years of hard work decided by a referee.

Think we'll really regret not picking up a goal from one of those gilt-edged opportunities in the last 20 minutes. I mean, you can't really complain given that a 0-0 scoreline still flatters us. But still, things are going to get a lot harder in the 2nd leg, and a 1-0 lead would've been an absolutely crucial edge going into that.

If it wasn't for Tim Cahill it'd blow out to 1 in fifty.

Just heard Italy haven’t been playing Jorginho. Suddenly their being on the verge of not qualifying makes complete sense.

Darmian also somehow getting minutes. In a sort of dual left-back role with Florenzi...

Seem to have gone from having one of the best managers to one of the worst.

 

[Uppercut]

Insigne too. Maybe he’s had beef with the Naples mafia.

 

[Cabinet96]

Imagine my shock as another team improves after the 3rd person merchant leaves.

 

[Furball]

?

 

[Uppercut]

Zlatan. Spot on too.

So many great memes right now #putyourpastaout
