World Cup: 2018 WC Qualifiers Part II

[spintheblackcircle]

So Spursy.

 

[Just Win]

Lolris! Toivonen scores from his own half.

 

[Evilo]

Lol you were much closer to 3p, especially last 15 when we were gassed.

Sure, but DD didn't even try to win. He came for a draw.
Lack of ambition with a team of stars. Rightfully paid with a loss.

 

[East Coast Bias]

oh my god.

Horrible from Lloris, but man that was some strike.

 

[Live in the Now]

Pretty sure this did massive damage to the Netherlands WC hopes.

 

[Hesher]

Hungary

Right before the goal, I had posted how Bulgaria's lose had assisted the Dutch. Fun group.

 

[Disclose]

wow france lol

 

[Hybbe]

Had no idea that santa's real name is Hugo Lloris and that he'll visit you in june, but I'll gladly accept that gift.

If they lose in France they're very likely out of it. If they win, get the popcorn.

Group A
Stupid mistake by Lloris gifts Sweden the three points and they are now top of the group on GD. This group just got so much tighter, the Dutch won as expected and are only three points back on SWE/NED with a big matchup in Paris coming up. Bulgaria throw away their good result against the Dutch and lose in Borisov, their chances of finishing 2nd drastically go down as they have by far the toughest fixtures

Group B
Easy wins for Portugal and Switzerland as they will probably fight for the top spot until the final day when they meet in Portugal, Switzerland have a three point advantage but the Portuguese have a far superior GD should they be tied on points. No team can afford any slip up. Special mention to Andorra who only win their 2nd ever official match. They are unbeaten in 2017 (including friendly matches), so some achievement

Group H
Belgium beat Estonia and look in good shape to win the group but they still go to Greece and Bosnia later in the campaign. Greece got their typical 0:0 draw away from home without a shot on target. Greece go unbeaten against BiH + have that point in Brussels from earlier in the campaign. Greece and BiH have virtually the same fixtures; they both host Belgium, both go to Cyprus

 

[Human]

Andorra-Hungary 1-0


edit: it was Andorra not Feroe Islands, which is even worse.

Yes it did, because they have France away next game and if they don't win it a win versus us in the last game might not be enough. But a lot can still happen, it's just a 3p gap..

For us we have a big game away against Bulgaria next. They're just 4p behind and can close the gap(though they have Netherland and France to play aswell).

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Woohoo

 

[Corto]

What happened to Lloris this season...

He's had more blunders this season than probably the rest of his entire career.

Still, that was a pretty good shot by Toivonen, those are not easy to hit.

Oh and Giroud's goal was SICK.

He's always had blunders to be fair. But in 90th minute of a game this important, can't remember any.

 

[Bures Elbow]

Hey, Portugal and 2 GOAT Ronaldo couldn't beat Hungary

That game in the Euro was an aberration, just like the games vs Iceland and Austria where we absolutely hammered both teams and couldnt finish.

We smashed Hungary at home 3-0 in March with Andre ********* Gomes playing CM

The real test and completing revenge will be defeating them in Budapest in September

 

[Bures Elbow]

Lloris just screwed Holland

Lose in Paris in September coupled with a Swedish victory over Bulgaria means theyd be 6 points behind both with 3 games left.

?

As others have mentioned he has always made high profile mistakes. Only reason why he is still at Spurs.

We are not talking that many though so hard to say anything has "happened". 3 is a lot more than 1, but hardly statistically significant.

[Billy Crawford]

That Lloris blunder was so ridiculous that I couldn't even get mad after the goal and just burst out laughing instead.

Now I'm very upset though. What the **** was that?!?

 

[Milos Krasic]

Quote from Manolas after the Greece-Bosnia match.

“The Bosnians should be ashamed of themselves for not respecting our national anthem,†Manolas told Greek TV afterwards.

 

[Live in the Now]

Manolas and Dzeko also grabbed each other by the neck.

So, Manolas will be sold by Roma.

Or dzeko?

Or dzeko?

Definitely Manolas. They could never ever afford to replace a 40 goal striker.
