Looks like the US will have to lineup Michael Phelps tomorrow:

 

[AcademicSaucer]

It seems that for the draw is going to be better to be in Pot 2 with France and Spain.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Yay Iceland

Hey man, Phelps would be the fastest 100m Breaststroker in the US team

 

[Strax]

Fuck yeah

 

[casiopao]

It took almost 75 minutes for Italy to finally score. Depressing.

And Croatia is winning 2-0 versus Ukraine. Fuck, I didn't want to worry about getting stuck facing Croatia.

Italy is so shit that it is not even funny. Hell, that Gagliardini and Parolo mid combi should already signal that Ventura need to be sacked.

Grats Iceland

Is Swiss really going to win 9 games and not qualify directly?

 

[Jerry]

Lol get fucked you welsh pansies.

If they lose to Portugal this evening then they are 2nd on goal difference (from the look of it anyway, idk if they use head to head in qualifiers), anything else gets them through as winners

 

[Jarnet87]

Martin Atkinson will referee the Liverpool vs, United game. The last time he was the ref between the two was Steven Gerard's glorious 38 second 2nd half cameo.

Australia and Syria battling it out in ET. Well, the Syria players are mostly falling over and Australia is too shit to accomplish anything.

Australian fans shitting themselves. I want them to get through as I live here, and New Zealand have basically a 0.5% chance.

Reckon I'd take New Zealands forward line over Australia's now - Ryan Thomas/Marco Rojas/Chris Wood.

 

[His Majesty]

It is telling that 37 year old Cahill is still the best player they have.

 

[valeo]

Mooy is their best player, but telling they still rely on him for goals.

Rogic also very good.

Rest average.

Crazy that Cahill can still last 90 mins + ET at 37.

 

[His Majesty]

Always funny to see when timewasting completely backfires.

Syria hits the post in the 120th minute, holy shit.

 

[valeo]

Wow. Syria hit the post from a fantastic free kick from 30m out with 2 min to go.

Socceroos through - but only by the skin of their teeth.

Wut. This come from nowhere lol. Going to be interesting how Juventus handle this as we as a club is filled with tons of drama.

Worth it to put a little hurt on the snide prick that is Herrera. Fully deserved red though, obv. Plus, he must have been seething watching us let United stroll around.

15 seconds into him being on he crunched someone with a great tackle and got a rush of blood.



Anyway, it's been a nice week not thinking about how Liverpool will disappoint me. Back to reality Saturday. Looking forward to the game though.

 

[choodi]

Watch Greece qualify with the worst football since 2004

GTFO with this shit.

Any team that doesn't play to their strengths is stupid

Spoiler

(or England)

. There is no right and wrong, good or bad football, just football. Attack and defence.

 

[RocknRola]

Shame about Syria. Nothing against Australia, they're also a part of the modern WC these days, but Syria probably deserved this bit of happiness more than any other team out there :S

Lol. If you think he was actually hurt I have bad news. 38 seconds. He could have saved you from losing at home to United. Instead he lost his head. The entire team looked spineless until he came on, and then he went off again.

Seeds for play offs

Portugal/Switzerland
Italy
Croatia
Denmark

vs

Ireland
Northern Ireland
Greece
Sweden

Denmark vs Sweden would be quite fun.

 

[Gothos]

Man, the weekend will be incredible in club football. So many interesting games, especially in Serie A.

Today's qualifiers are going to be hype. Just sucks that both the CONCACAF and CONMEBOL matches are at the same time.

All I feel is pain.

When we play Moreno on the wing I'll cry throughout.

[T-Rex.]

What a shit season.

 

[Johnny Cage]

This is a nightmare. Mane is on par with countinho in terms of team influence. Get ready for sturridge

 

[Lunar FC]

Looks like the US will have to lineup Michael Phelps tomorrow:

Most CONCACAF thing I've seen yet. Hopefully the surface isn't a disaster tonight.

 

[McMoneyman]

Coutinho and Salah have to step up now. Or we will sink like a stone.

 

[MikeBison]

Just going to be another season where we can only field our best 11 like 4 times.

 

[TimmmV]

I hate international breaks with a passion, perfectly timed for games vs United, spurs and just when CL wins are needed.

At least it looks like United wont have Fellaini to do his usual wrecking job on the midfield for the same reasons.

Milan Derby, Juventus revenge match vs Lazio and Napoli vs Roma is all going to be insane.

 

[GoldenCrow]

Dammit Liverpool at least pick up injuries after you beat United.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

So today Portugal or Switzerland will be sent to the play-off, Netherlands says goodbye and Colombia , Chile and Argentina could end up out of the world cup.

US could also end missing the world cup if they choke against T&T

Gibraltar to win/draw and not let Greece in playoffs. Let's go!

Spoiler

not happening lol

 

[RocknRola]

Portugal about to start. It's do or "die". And by die I mean play-offs which so far, in the recent-ish past, have been kind to us. :v

 

[McMoneyman]

Hoping for a France fuck up and us beating the Netherlands!

 

[Sgtpepper89]

Lol Netherlands needs 7-0 vs us and they field Ake. I can see us winning 0-7 instead.
