At the back of my mind I had a FACT stored that the majority of Russia is in Asia, but because Moscow is in Europe we just assume it's all Europe. But Google tells me only 25% is in Asia.
I made a mistake and Taz - looking up to me as he does - is now repeating it. Be kind to him.
We're clueless and will falter against anyone half-decent. I'd have the Czechs, Poland and Turkey as all being better than us at the moment.Originally Posted by Waffdon
I see Uruguay might not qualify as well, let the good times roll in.
Ecuador can fuck off, mind. The Switzerland of South America.
Canada all but through for the first time since 1986.
Are you sure that's not population? I think the majority of the landmass is in Asia but the majority of the population live in the European part.
I've just looked up the England / Ecuador game from 2006 - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...06/4991536.stm
What a bench.
Lennon, Downing, Carragher, James, Campbell, Bridge, Carson, Crouch, Jenas, Neville, Walcott.
You don't hear / read about a crossed ball as having been "centred" any more, do you?
xDelivery.
I feel you ended up getting the wrong player from Kups, but hopefully he does well for you. We have fuck all wingers as it is.Ilmari Niskanen is going to be one of my favourite players over the last few years. He smiles more than Ngolo Kante
Get in Boydy my Son.
Spikey and Taz have donned Giggles and Ian relentlessly here.
All our yesterdays.The decision to play Carrick in the holding role gave England a better base to build from, but Lampard and Gerrard were not getting forward enough to give the increasingly frustrated Rooney some much-needed support.
Picking #teamtaz is always picking the wrong side.
I had no opinion it, I was just here for the Spikey vs. Spikey beef.
Man's might have a point.
You picked your side when you picked Spikey over me.
You had it coming.
How on earth has Kachunga landed in Bolton?
Canada having a legitimate shot at making the World Cup is proper glitch-in-the-simulation stuff, as is taking points from Mexico at the Azteca and last night beating them 2-1 at home (in a match we dominated for 90 minutes and only got close in the last 5).
They also celebrated the second goal by jumping in the snow.
We? I never knew that. Do you have as many we's as Kiko?
I did turbo-edit we to they as Italy is my primary allegiance.
To be fair to me though, I am a dual Canadian-Italian citizen, so I am allowed to support both nations. Kiko is just gloryhunting scum.
Is that just for football or have you thoroughly failed the Tebbit Test?
I would have said Italian, actually thought the other half was American for some season.
I was living in the US for a while, but am back in (my home and) native land.
@Lewis, Ive fully failed. Its Italy in most things. Maybe not ice hockey
It's probably more Canada's fault than your own.
Fuck off you Canadian moose fucker.
The Stockport-Bolton game was absolutely brilliant.
#manofthepeople
Stockport are 9/2 for promotion. Based on last night I'd suggest we pile in as a community.
They were genuinely brilliant. Quigley (?) was a real beast, plus the lad who came on and played like a 1950s winger. Very enjoyable. Shame the prem clubs join now.
Managed by Dave Challinor.
Stockport are rich arent they? Kept poaching Barrow players such as Quigley and Rooney's brother.
More amusing is Quigley putting his old Barrow boss Evatt to the sword.
Chelsea putting season tickets up from Ł1250 to Ł3900.
Inflation for you.
It's not quite as simple as that, they're converting some halfway line seats into semi-hospitality so booting a few people to other parts of the ground (unless they want to pay that price to stay there).
Matchday football is all about hospitality, revenue-wise, I'm surprised more of this doesn't go on.
See Exeter v Bradford has to be replayed as Exeter brought on one too many subs. Bradford CEO rightly fuming as the cost outweighs the benefit. Surprised they didn't just kick Exeter out.
Is kicking them out no the standard punishment? If that happens in a league game, they're docked points.
Why is the fourth official allowing them to make another sub anyway?
Exeter is much nicer than Bradford, they should be thanking us if anything.
Still blows my mind that Kanu scored off a dodgy throw in and we played an entire match again because Wenger felt bad.
That, the 'creative penalty' and Kim Kallstrom were the three Big Weirds of Wenger's stint.
Probably just had too much respect for Steve Bruce as a top, top manager to let that Kanu thing stand.

The Binman change his line-up? Good one, Jesse. At least you've still got a sense of humour.Lingard opted to stay at Manchester United this season even though six clubs asked about his services, believing manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would provide him with more game time.
Good to have the soccer back tomorrow, although I have the unpleasantness of watching the Liverpool game in a pub.
I'm a twit
I've got tickets for the massive fixture of the weekend - FSV Frankfurt v Kickers Offenbach.
A tough game for the away side ahead of next week's derby against Headers Seldomhowl.
De Bruyne has covid. Hasn't he had it already?
He thought he and his family had it near the beginning of the pandemic but no tests back then so who knows.
Even if he did have it back then, I am pretty sure the immunity doesn't last that long.
Eddie Howe's down too.
Cursed club.
Always like those ones that rise all the way in.
That is a belter. You'll like this if you haven't seen it before, one of my favourite recent goals:
Hadn't. That's a serious wallop
