That's fecking insane.
I knew things were bad but can't believe they haven't even qualified. I can't imagine a World Cup without both Holland & Argentina.

Portugal planet needed Ronnie to come on the second half against mighty Andorra, thank God I cannot watch the match Tuesday vs Switzerland.
7-0I think they need a 13-0 win?
People too harsh on Portugal playing on a terrible pitch. 8 WCQ wins in a row now with 30 scored and 2 conceded.
Was waiting to see how the results went tonight but Portugal-Switzerland is the prime choice for Tuesday night's viewing now with Holland needing a 12 goal win over Sweden.Portugal planet needed Ronnie to come on the second half against mighty Andorra, thank God I cannot watch the match Tuesday vs Switzerland.
I doubt that with the way we're playing and with our love history with the playoffs.
Tbf we don't play against the top teams. Most games he's played against the big teams internationally were at the start of his career when he played on the right. In the past 4 years we've played France where he got injured in the final and Germany when we got destroyed after Pepe was sent off at the start of the game. He's certainly been scoring more big goals than ever for us, even if it's not against the elite teams.
Gonna be tense so maybe it's gonna be a great game.Portugal planet needed Ronnie to come on the second half against mighty Andorra, thank God I cannot watch the match Tuesday vs Switzerland.
Good luck for you, thank God I will not be able to watch the match, so when I will arrive at home we probably will be waiting for our next opponent on the playoff, sick and tired of Santos, the man is depressive.
We needed Cristiano to beat Andorra, Santos is probably wanting to break the World Record of who can make more crosses vs David Moyes, football from the 90's allright.
Not saying you'll win but I feel it's going to be a crazy game. I wish you guys good luck.
I am going to start looking for our next playoff opponents, no way we can beat Switzerland if we play like this.
Most national teams don’t play a lot of big teams in a 4 year cycle.
Just give the ball to Cristaino
I am only harsh because I think Santos concept of football is from the 90's, we won all matches after the defeat vs Switzerland, my worry is about the colective quality of our performances, we can play better than this imo.
Nobody is giving credit to Switzerland, they are a hard team to beat tbh.Just give the ball to Cristaino
Haha
I think they need a 13-0 win?
7 goal win they need against us. Should not happen, but you should never say never. The good thing is with this win as well we have also secured being one of the 8 best second team as Greece can never catch us due to goal difference as well thanks to Belgium beating Bosnia.

Apart from joke, can see a 1-1 in the end.
Maybe I am wrong, but the last competitive match they lost was on the qualifiers to the Euros vs England, good players, playing in good leagues and a coach who looks he know what he is doing.
Yeah, Petkovic is good.
Just looked again. We need to win to be sure of not being the 9th runner up.
Tbh, it's not a bad thing? Wouldn't want to play for a draw as always run the risk of some freak late goal or dodgy decision. Got the players, go out and go for the win.
94th minute equalizer sends Costa Rica to the World Cup
Haha
The Dutch are the Liverpool of the international football. You cannot make this shit up just like with 'it won't slip'.
Costa Rica qualify for the World Cup
In the last one, they were the heroes of the tournament and it established Navas as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

What did he say?
He said Sweden wouldn't win 8-0, then the Swede turned up to just did that.
The journalist asked him (about a week ago or so) what will happen should Sweden win, say, 8-0 against Luxembourg. He disregarded the question as stupid and said that there's no chance that Sweden could win 8-0 against Luxembourg. They did exactly that today.
This journalist chose the wrong occupation...
.Another crap manager managing a national football team. Southgate, Martinez, dick advocaat, Deschamps. The list goes on.
Watching Scotland today.
Bosnia are awful. Can't even finish above the worst Greek team in 20 years.
They need 6-0 or 7-0 because every goal swings it by two really (they gain one to their GD while Sweden lose one).I think they need a 13-0 win?
Apparently Ireland secure a play off spot if Scotland fail to beat Slovenia today.
What happens to Wales then? I am a bit confused.

Probably missing "...and if they win.". What exactly have you read/heard?
Think that means to say the group runners up from Ireland’s group secure a play off spot - as they can no longer finish as the worst runners up from all the groups.
But if Slovakia wins and Scotland draws or lose, they go second. And will have 12 points with +5 goal difference for the Runners-up table. I think so atleast...
And then if Wales drews it'll stay second, also with 12 points but +2 goal difference.
I probably screwed something up though.

Possibly no Messi, Ronaldo and Depay at this world cup.
