World Cup 2018 Qualifiers

Unfortunately Iliev had the performance of Lev Yashin, while the Swedish defence were quite awful... And now both Bulgaria and Netherland got a lifeline. :(
 
France once again looking impressive in the qualifiers before disappointing in the final.
 
I hope we don't turn into Holland when Ronaldo retires
Hmm, we need to start renewing the development of Goalkeepers, Central Defenders and always the Striker questions.

This and the fact is not easy for the players who come from the B teams to make the first team, then they are loaned out or packed by Jorge Mendes :lol:

I've given up on seeing a decent striker on my lifetime but i really worry about our future center backs. I don't worry about the GK position.
 
Good day. Timbo and Lukaku were excellent, Blind was decent, Pogba ... did some things. More importantly - no injuries.

Yup I gave up on strikers too, regarding center backs when 1 thinks our alternatives are Semedo, Ié, Paulo Oliveira or Roderick, and you compare them with Ricardo Carvalho or Pepe, is like comparing horses to donkeys, I really don't know what they do on the academies.
 
The most embarrassing NT performance of all time.

Players should be ashamed.

You should see their goals, we made them look like Barcelona in their prime. We have absolutely awful team these days, together with coach.

Genuinely forgot how much of a joke we've become until seeing that game today... Fecking hell was that second half bad. Absolutely no organization at the back and no plan at all once we actually get the ball. It's even worse then it was with Susic if it's possible.
Feels shitty that the best years of Dzeko have been wasted with clueless managers and all we managed was an early exit in the world cup in 2014, as at one point we had a very good all around team who should be consistently qualifying for competitions.

We had bad luck getting Portugal in the knock-outs as well.

But today was an embarrassment. Bazdarevic should be sacked immediately.

Worst result in our history.
 
It was a great chance to secure the 2nd spot mate.

Yeah, now we are in a bit trouble. Fortunately, Bulgaria will be vs Netherlands at some point, but we have to face the Netherlands in the last game. So it evens out. I believe Bulgaria also have France, who acted like a dream team tonight, but I think Bulgaria will be at home...And if it is anything that gives us hope, is how scary good Bulgaria are on their homeground. Hopefully at least a draw there between them.

@ValenciasDrilledCrosses Haha, it is true, you were really generous in 94. So, in spirit of deadline day, I give you a better offer: Bulgaria on second spot, Sweden miraculously on first spot (as the France dream team is miraculously below the first two spots). Deal?
 
As I predicted we need to win in Hungary to keep the chance of beating Switzerland on the last match, if not, we will be at playoffs again, sick and tired of repeating always the same mistakes.
 
@SfcNervion, if you were just 3 points ahead of Holland on the last day and lost against them you would be out. How bad would it be after such a good qualifying campaign?

I'd love that haha, France smashed us earlier. I like Sweden a lot, beautiful country. I think you'll finish above us in the end but good to at least have some hope after being terrible in qualifying for the last 10 years. That Belarus loss two months ago really fecked us, will probably prove decisive. Netherlands away again this Sunday, best time to play them. Maybe we can do the double. France at home best I can pray for is a point. Luxembourg away will probably be tough given how shite we are outside of Vasil Levski
 
PSG will have no problem fitting him in. Played fine on the left earlier and now on the right.

Cavani will move out wide again IMO. You can't waste the CF spot on him, with a player of Mbappe's quality in the ranks.
