World Cup: 2018 WC Qualifiers Part II

[Savant]

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

Fair point. Manolas definitely in his prime though.

 

[Ivan13]

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.

Boo hoo. Serves them right after their fans glorified war crimes against Bosnians when they were the hosts.

GSTQ getting booed to **** at Hampden, delicious

 

[Ceremony]

Undermined somewhat by a boy in the Scotland end giving it '******s' during Flower of Scotland while wearing a half and half scarf

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Coys!!!!

 

[Live in the Now]

Griffiths with two free kicks in three minutes!

 

[Ceremony]

The Thumb > Spurs

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Griffiths with two free kicks in three minutes!

2nd one was a massive dive.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

There's Kane!

 

[Live in the Now]

Excellent finish by Kane to level it.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

If only England had Eriksen, heh.

Dele was very pedestrian, Kane really only had 2 decent chances all match.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

So typical.

F*** England

 

[Ceremony]

 

[ecemleafs]

armstrong with a bad turnover and then robertson and mulgrew somehow manage to switch off in the 93rd minute with kane to defend...

 

[HajdukSplit]

Big win for Northern Ireland in Baku, final minute winner. I still think that group will provide the worst runner-up but that result for NIR only helps

 

[Cassano]

That was a nice pick out by Sterling on the tying goal.

England are awful though. I don't see them making a deep run anytime soon. Severe lack of talent on that squad.

 

[Chloraflora]

Scotland in a nutshell that.

They have talent, but their midfield is awful. And before anyone starts, don't tell me Dele Alli is class MF when he's playing as a second striker.

Dier is fine as a DM. But there's no CM with skill to link up.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

So Germany vs San Marino

Normally I'd expect a 5-9 goal game, but with this squad i'll go easy and say 3-0.

Now I need a Drinking game for this goal

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Do England and the US have the same away(?) kit?

 

[Cassano]

Their talent is overrated IMO. Jake Livermore was starting for them FFS.

You always see this over the years. Upson, Lambert, Lennon, etc. The flavor of the week makes the roster.

 

[Live in the Now]

Henderson would have been starting if not injured.

They haven't had good midfielders for a while, and Henderson is always injured. So yeah, they will go nowhere.

 

[YNWA14]

A midfield of Henderson, Lallana and Wilshere would actually work pretty well if they could ever get it on the field.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

1-0 Germany so far Draxler scored after the San Marino defense were unorganized and he curled a shot with the goalie flat footed.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

2-0 Wagner with a nice looping header
