World Cup 2018 Qualifiers

Thanks mate, it was my fear, not that we cannot get other tough teams.
Keep in mind i'm goin from what respected italian journo Paolo Condò said, so it might bs
 
If Spain's willing to do it with a 35 year old David Villa, they should try him out. Would be better than the mediocrity of Eder, Belotti, Immobile.

He'd operate as a second striker.
No he wouldn't. Not even close. Giovinco is worse than Eder, and he couldn't lace Belotti or Immobile's boots. For reference, Giovinco couldn't touch the ball against MALTA
 
You will finish above Switzerland anyway I think.
If we don't win tomorrow in Budapest forget about it, I was checking possible opponents, beside Italy also Denmark looks dangerous atm, wait and see.
 
Yeah, but 1/4th is like what; your cousin's cleaning lady has watched a spanish film once?
:lol: My instructor in a theater course was the main character in a spanish movie

(Actually, one grandparent was spanish)

Thought i should balance it out :D

I won't hear a bad word spoken about El Guaje.
 
The second place in Ireland/ Wales group is under threat of not getting a play-off place. Only 8 of the 9 groups get a play-off place.
5 points from the last 9 available would see us finish on 18 points.

Surely enough?
 
Sorting out who the worst 2nd place finisher is isn't as simple as looking at their total points. Results against the bottom placed team in each group won't count when it comes to sorting out the 2nd place finishers.

Ireland currently have 10 points in the ranking of 2nd place teams. Wales only have 8 so will probably need to beat Georgia and Ireland to make sure of making the playoffs.

We're playing Macedonia and Israel at home and Albania away. Realistically, we won't finish below 17 points on that chart and our GF will be pretty good. Portugal the same
 
Nice to see Portugal not making a total mess of their group for a change.
 
Just got home from the wales match.. you absolute beauts!
Crowd went wild when Woodburn belted that in
 
In fairness to McClean, he's giving it all as usual, plenty of heart. Pity he seems to be the only one.
Yeah, can never ever fault McClean that way, one of the few players who actually plays with pride for the jersey, same he missed his chances today.
