The World Cup Thread

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

That's a stunning achievement, wow. Looking at the squad, that's by far the worst Ireland team I've seen in my lifetime at least.

I'd say it's the worst Ireland team of all time. Even the dark days before Big Jack there were teams with great players like Liam Brady, John Giles etc.

This team could very well finish bottom of their group.

Wales have thrown a lead away against the mighty Belarus and trail 2-1 at half time

Ah right. Their government is proto-fascist authoritarian racialist and has effectively rigged elections and the media to keep them in power for as long as they want.

How does this sit with EU membership?

Looks like Mings might get a game this afternoon

Mo punishment from FIFA for Everton for not releasing Richarlison

It looks like we're playing 5 at the back against the mighty Andorra.

 

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

Wales win it right at the end with a Bale completing his hat-trick.

 

[Pride of Lions]

Wales look to of pinched it at the death. 2-3 Bale hat-trick.

Mings in the England team.

Bamford starts and is straight away in with a chance of becoming Englands all time top scorer.

 

[Pangloss]

Come on Andorra!

im afraid you are right, its the worst irish set up that i can remember, , they took a chance on a non league manager, no experience to build a new team, alas nice guys dont win ball games, although the last lot that were running it bankrupt the FAI ,,splashing the cash all over the place, a mick mcarthy is whats needed but id say twice bitten 3 times shy,,seanie

Kenny has had 1 win in 15, funnily enough against Andorra.

I always thought Chris Hughton would one day take on the job, I'd get him in now to try and stop the rot. It's a young squad, but that can't be an excuse for some of the dire results.

He's hardly setting the world alight at Forest

I know, maybe all the more chance of getting him. I don't think there's much more out there that would take the job right now.

Big Sam

Well he does have a 100% win record in international football

Only the three right backs starting for England I see….as us Villa fans know…you can never have too many right backs on the pitch at once! Steve Bruce was before his time, he really was.

 

[Thomas Holte]

I genuinely didn't even know England was playing until I put the radio on 15 minutes before kick-off and they were talking about the game!

That would never have happened many years ago but these days I only find international football boring and all-around disruptive.
