Arch Stanton Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 The Welsh booing De Bruyne, giving it a "way hay" when he miscontrolled and then silenced when he buried it seconds later. Delightful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can get back to watching Morton being relegated? Fucking get a grip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algeria 2 Burkina Faso 2 - Algeria win the group by 3pts and proceed to the playoffs. I see Africa has gone back to having 10 qualifying groups - with their 5 finals places being decided by 5 playoffs in March. No automatic qualification and it all rests on those 2-legged ties. Nobody else does it this way. They tried that once before (usually they've an initial round followed by only 5 groups with winners qualifying) but with so much at stake they were marred by protests about ineligible players and even crowd trouble... Bougherra of Rangers was caught-up in it IIRC... so they reverted. Interesting to see how it fares this time.

Fratelli Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Wales really going for it now, Neco Williams has been superb. For what is essentially a standard 2000s flatpack stadium (with a wee extension) the Cardiff City Stadium seems to be a cracking ground for big international games.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Netherlands with a couple fairly late goals against Norway to qualify automatically. Norway without Haaland have offered pretty much zero threat and are pretty much out with Turkey 2-1 up in Montenegro. I don't think Norway have qualified for anything since Euro 2000, so they are pretty much the new Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Do Wales realise that a draw gets them what they need? Seem to be really pushing for a winner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Pretty shocking result for Uruguay right now if it stands, losing 2-0 away to Bolivia with 20 mins to go. Currently sat in 7th in qualifying. Better day for Peru, who lead Venezuela away and are up to 4th in the table. Mind you, only 1 point separating the two. Surprised to see Bolivia only one point further behind than Uruguay, stand a decent chance of making their first World Cup since 1994 if they keep getting impressive results like these. Edit: Bolivia missed a pen to go 3 up and are now a man down. Squeaky bum time in La Paz now... or should I say, "tiempo de culo chirrido"? Also, gaun the Canadians, the (spiritual) Scotland of North America. Big fan of them making opponents play in this.

We've been very lucky with the draw, Norway and Turkey were absolutely dross, we were just about less rubbish than them. I'm not exactly convinced we'll do much at the World Cup though, but we have qualified so i'm happy about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure this makes up for all the bags of piss their fans have thrown at opposition players over the years. Not to mention setting off fire alarms in the middle of the night at the hotel of visiting teams, or honking car horns in front of the hotels at night. Plus they also get the advantage of altitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Been a relatively tedious and bad-tempered game so far tbh (not improved by a ref who loves the sound of his whistle), but Canada looking the better side of the two so far. Just need to settle down and pick their passes better, this Mexico team is there to be cut open.
