World Cup: National Team threads #2

[robertmac43]

Israel has 3 players that started the Nations League against Scotland out either due to Covid or injury (Peretz, Tabatha, Bitton).

This is Scotland's chance.

Trying not to get my hopes up...They should win though!

This is their chance, but honestly I still think it can go either way even with some of the injuries.

They (Israel) were the better team last match IMO, even if the stakes were different as a NL game.

Tierney, Christie, and Armstrong out due to Covid. Armstrong tested positive and the other two had close contact.

Well ****...

With covid issues in their own squad, Ukraine has in included goalkeeper Oleksandr Shovkovskiy for their next set of matches.

He retired in 2016 and is 45 years old. He’s also the teams assistant manager.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Well ****...

It probably works out for Scotland, really. Steve Clarke was doing everything in his power to have Tierney and Robertson play in the same side, but this simplifies things and maybe they switch to a back four. Or they stay with five at the back, but field a natural CB and let Robertson bomb forward at wing-back.

f*** f*** f***, Ferhat is injured and won't be available for both friendlies
I was really looking forward to see him play with the NT, he would have gotten minutes with Atal being injured

 

[Luigi Habs]

I just tuned in into Spain vs Portugal and saw Kepa in net. Has Spain fallen off that low?

[VEGASKING]

Youngest scorer for France in over 100 years.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Finland hasn’t exactly been getting good results since qualifying for Euro, coincides with Pukki’s poor form too at club level

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Olivier Giroud hitting 100 caps and becoming France's second highest ever scorer makes me absurdly happy

 

[PanniniClaus]

What more can you say about England? At some point Southgate has to lay down the law .....hard....

What other country has this bullshit with their players being unavailable for ridiculous reasons?

Wales win on the cards for the first time since 84? I was thinking Mark Hughes...I could be wrong.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Taking a shot in the dark with winners here:

Hungary
Iceland

Bosnia
Ireland

Norway
Scotland

Georgia
Macedonia

Thoughts?

 

[koyvoo]

I’ll go-

Iceland
Ireland
Norway
Georgia

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

He should be on the field but oh well. Otamendi starts along with Fake Armani.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Not sure about this one I either love or hate them

 

[koyvoo]

Those remind of the jeans I used to wear to school in the late 80’s early 90’s. Acid wash or stone wah or whatever they called it.

Finland hasn’t exactly been getting good results since qualifying for Euro, coincides with Pukki’s poor form too at club level

We had some key absentees and Pukki has ankle issues which he received treatment for. Glen Kamara didn't come until it was 4-0.

 

[Venkman]

England beat Wales 3-0. Only regulars were Gomez, Trippier and Winks, playing 3-4-3 again. Debut goal for Calvert-Lewin, 1st goals for Coady and Ings. Those 3 and Grealish were the standouts.

Wales had more possession in the 1st half but didn't really create anything. They defended their box terribly, England's goals came from a cross, free-kick and corner.

 

[koyvoo]

Spain and Portugal have officially signed an agreement to put in a joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Shameful dive by RDP

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

The less said about that game the better.... take the 3 points and forget it. Worst footy I've seen in awhile.

 

[Savi]

Yeah that lineup didn't really predict much good

 

[Power Man]

Benrahma starting today vs Nigeria, looking forward to see if he can solidify as starting spot

Edit : Gladbach legend Bensebaini just scored on a Benrahma corner
