    Bhutan sounds like a typical Football Manager non league side.

    I wouldn't be shocked if the next edition of the Nations League links with the UEFA qualification

    The Reid accidentally called it the League Of Nations last night and we decided it was a much better name for it. I unlocked a trophy on PES for saving a penalty, called Goalmouth Guardian, who wouldn’t definitely be part of the League Of Nations.

    Having just looked it up, he’s a proper war nerd so probably knew it had already been a thing.

    New logo. It's alright, but there is a weird little ridge at the top of the logo that looks like a bad photoshop.

    Also, Asian proper qualifiers start tomorrow. Vietnam travel away to Thailand after a somewhat dodgy AFC draw...

    I really enjoy the long underline bit cause it looks like how some fonts look that don't translate all of the letters if you know what i mean

    We open up with an away against Kuwait. Tricky, but should be navigable, and nice preparation for the tough away trips we'll face to qualify.

    But yeah, you should win. New manager bounce and all that

    They'll have to stop club football in what, mid October? And resume it in January? Mental.

    Part of me thinks club football should just play on with depleted squads like they do (or used to do at least) in MLS.

    Clubs have enough players, they should just carry on like plenty of other sports do.

    The location is obviously shit, the ethics of it are shit, but I think from a fan's perspective the very worst aspect is that it's happening in fucking December instead of the summer. Totally kills the mood of the tournament.

    It works if you have play-offs to even things up at the end of the season, but it's not going to work with simply league structures.

    Also FIFA aren't going to let other places play football during the World Cup so this is all a bit moot.

    The biggest disgrace about the whole thing is the new Concacaf qualifying.

    For novelty I reckon it'll be alright. Quite looking forwards to booking off most of December and just stuffing my face and being drunk for a month...oh, wait - that's what normally happens

    Yeah we’re (hopefully) having our GAA championships in the winter this year running from October to the final the week before Christmas (normally May to Sept) and everyone is looking forward to that for the novelty. I think the WC then will be great as a one off.

    I’d give the Czechs their best chance of qualifying since 06, especially if they blood in the young guns

    Imagine winning a World Cup and then having to be back on dogshit club duty ten days later. Just in time for the Festive Fixtures here as well.

    Couldn't they have saved a few quid from the bribes Qatar paid to employ someone who can pronounce "H".
