Hungary got the away win over Norway today. I was surprised about it, but I kind of want Hungary to make the final tournament for sentimental reasons.
Gabor Kiraly's tracksuit gave Saint's boys a right trolling.
As did 'Clatters'.
Good to see Nemeth still plugging away. I really thought he would amount to more than he seems to have.
Im going for Bosnia, Sweden & Ukraine to progress.
Don't forget Brazil v Argentina at midnight on Saturday. Neymar to run the show.

6/10 for me, not precise enough with reason for one group and no idea for another.
I've just seen that Madagascar are beating Senegal 2-0 at the minute with Mané/Diouf/Kouyaté/others all on the field... I don't recognise any of the Madagascar players, but Senegal didn't call up Papiss Cissé so fuck 'em.
And the Comoros are holding Ghana 0-0 at HT.

This is awesome. 7/10 for me.

I've made my own football one because I have too much time on my hands. Hopefully it works properly.
The group descriptions don't seem to work very well.
Toggle Spoiler
I was afraid something like that was going to happen. Getting the linking terms working properly seems like a bit of a bastard.
For the group Toby mentioned I guessed they had all won the U17 World Cup. I think too hard.
Those striking options for tonight
Bosnia by 2 minimum. Especially if O'Neill negs it up as expected.
EDIT: Jesus, the Dzeko and Pjanic highlights they're showing. We're fucked.
.
The state of our team.It's almost a miracle we've made it this far.
That back four is going to get raped. John O'Shea being a massive loss says it all about how shit things are.The state of our team.
Randolph
Coleman
Keogh
Clark
Ward
Hendrick
McCarthy
Whelan
Hoolahan
Brady
Murphy

The Polish fans started applauding our anthem about 30 seconds before it's supposed to end. Alright.
Totally agree with Dixon on the centre back selection. Play your best two, don't rotate in important preparation games. Whoever are the backup choices have tens of club matches to win their place in the team for next summer (well except Jones, who doesn't play for his club but makes the first eleven for his country...)
Richard Keogh outran Dzeko well there for a fella that looks 2 stone overweight.
Didn't Dixon - the dickhead - say he would pick Gary Cahill and admit he that isn't playing with the same breath?
This is eye-bleeding stuff. Not even the mighty Wes Hoolahan is doing anything tonight.
Dzeko's a lump, and if he continues to play like a deep-lying striker we'll be much better off.
Who the fuck is Mario?
Yeah. I disagree with him on that part.
Smalling is arguably our best centre back which is a stunning(!) turnaround.
Hoolahan really has been invisible. He needs to be deeper though he's being played too far forward.
The left side of this team is deplorable. Brady accomplishing quite the feat of making Stephen Ward only the 2nd worst player of the pair. He should never be let hit a set piece in his life again either.
For all the talk of Seamus Coleman too, does he ever do anything at all? He must be really good for Everton.
Ref seems to have set out to ruin the England game. Blowing every 5 seconds.
People forget what a don he was looking like under Ferguson (when not injured). He's been the best defender in the league by a mile this season.
He's been on another level this season in my opinion, was never that impressed by him in the Fergie days.
In this side he's obviously not going to be a threat - who is? - but he's definitely solid. Very little gets down his side, you'll notice. Although I guess when you're having a field day against Brady and Ward why would you bother trying your luck on the other flank.
There's really fuck all can be changed either. McGeady? Keane? .......
Just in, what've I missed lads? Has it been sensational stuff and proof that we're definitely winning the cup?
Hungary as the same chances of qualifying as Chelsea winning the title comfortably.
You've missed Delph constantly rushing first time passes and some decent defending.
The state of this fog.
How did that thick a fog come down over half time? I thought it had been flares.
Pretty great way of wasting your time.

This is horrendous, no idea what's going on half the time, which is probably a good thing tbh.
No idea either, but I'd wager it's still shite.
Quality finish, like. Shame really, as Spain have been bang average.
Who's Mario? I presumed Italy had been playing.
It's Mario...
I was going to come on and echo this a bit. Not many players can have gone through the peaks and troughs he has, in such a relatively short space of time. Looked quality out of non-league/Fulham, then barely looked a professional for a while, back to looking (surprisingly) good again.
Cazorla must be up there with the most two-footed players.
Hamilton hadn't a clue Brady scored
Not even Google is helping with a Spanish Mario.
Get in there.Just about saw it hitting the net. Didn't realise away goals counted here.
I've harped on about this before but actually being played in his correct position is what's done it. Being fucked about at right back ruined him for a while.
If the mongo-faced twat could stay fit long enough we really need to be trying it with Jones.
Mario is Mario Gaspar of Villarreal.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Gaspar_P%C3%A9rez
Idiots.
That didn't take long. Bosnia will win it from here.
Fuck, Spain are such a dislikable side. Would love to see the cunts get bashed by some Eastern Bloc side.
