IggyStooge Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 First off I will list the teams who have qualified for a FIFA World Cup who didn't make the cut this time around. Perm any 32 from these 47 teams. UEFA: Italy, Netherlands, Czechia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Austria, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Greece, Turkey, Norway, Romania, Israel, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina CONMEBOL: Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador CONCACAF: USA, Canada, Cuba, Honduras, El Salvador, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago AFC: China, North Korea, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait, Indonesia CAF: Ghana, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, South Africa, Algeria, Togo, Angola, Tunisia, DR Congo OFC: New Zealand Now for the dark and awful truth of the matter: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42001722 So, what would be peoples thoughts on this? The USA Tournoi with Le Big Booby Prize 2018? Having the nerve to be taking on Mother Russia? Personally I think these b*stards should be watched like a hawk. This will be the same conglomerates behind the idea of the shitty International Champions Cup etc. Beware the 'globalisation' of football while it is slowly assimilated into the hands of The Great Satan. If you thought FIFA were bad, wait until you get a load of these Motherf*ckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Will be 8 teams USA Canada Chile Italy Netherlands Cote d'Ivore Ireland (due to immigrant population) Scotland or Wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Despite being invited, Scotland will probably find some way to not qualify for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheProgressiveLiberal Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 No way Scotland gets invited. Probably Wales because people know who Bale is. You guys are behind Northern Ireland. Love this World Cup NIT idea by the way. After our win we will challenge whoever wins the other tournament in Russia to determine the true World Champion.

BFTD Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I'm surprised it took somebody this long. Obviously it's purely a money-making scheme, but it always gives the losers something to do, and it could be fucking hilarious to watch the winners pretend there's any meaning to it at all. Edit: like the lad above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheProgressiveLiberal Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 We will make this thing bigger than the Old World Cup. Who the f**k wants to go to Russia anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 You still heard persistent rumours that several of that Zaire squad didn't live long after the '74 World Cup, and that bizarre incidents like the infamous free-kick against Brazil came about due to the players being terrified about the consequences of failure to their families back home. Takes the humour out of it a little. That, and the far more serious fact that we were knocked out because we could only score two goals against them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Love this World Cup NIT idea by the way. After our win we will challenge whoever wins the other tournament in Russia to determine the true World Champion. Absolutely. Could play game 7 of the series on the roof of a casino, under floodlights suspended from Apache helicopters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Get USA, Israel, Iraq and North Korea in the same group and it might actually be better than the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Clyde Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Ah, the good old days when the Dutch East Indies qualified.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 They've played the fewest WC finals matches of anyone who has ever qualified - just 1 solitary game. In 1934 & 1938 the tournament was straight knockout. Having battled their way through qualifying... well, actually only they + Japan entered, then Japan scratched!... they travelled the globe to Reims - only to get spanked 6-0 by Hungary and go home again (after touring Holland).

BFTD Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 As the FIFA rankings stand, an eight-nation diddy World Cup would consist of (in order): 14: Wales 15: Italy 20: The Netherlands 23: Northern Ireland 24: Slovakia 26: Eire 27: USA 29: Scotland So, the Celtic Cup, America, plus some other European sides that aren't total shite. Considering that's (according to FIFA) a best-case, will-never-happen scenario in terms of quality, maybe this isn't such a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Perhaps we should resurrect the highly popular Celtic Nations Cup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandcowden Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 lets face it,scotland supporters wouldn't be goimg to a tournament with any realistic hope of victory,i think a tournament like this would be enjoyable for the supporters at least,would be shite with just uefa teams only though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
