Turkey getting through will do nicely. Ché Adams will run riot against them
Aye, I clocked that.
On to more important matters.
Wales. We're absolutely holding our own against Belgium.
Cursing the 0-0'er against Estonia not so long back but I reckon we'll be at the World Cup.
Altrincham 2-3 Gateshead
Macauley Langstaff with a 91st minute winner. A live TV tie against Charlton is up next.
I only know her vaguely, so I've never brought it up. It's kind of the elephant in the room.
If it's the one I'm thinking of, then you're not missing much.
Plot twist. Probably late to the party but if not...

The seeding for the 2022 World Cup play offs:

🇷🇺 Russia
🇸🇪 Sweden
🏴 Wales
Pot 2:
🇹🇷 Turkey
🇵🇱 Poland
🇲🇰 North Macedonia
🇺🇦 Ukraine
🇦🇹 Austria
🇨🇿 Czech Republic
Only 3 nations will go to Qatar 2022. Who's your 3?
Let’s hope the mum doesn’t bring her work home too.
Speaking of which, I noticed an Adebayor got a hat trick for Niger few days ago.
Think you're mistaking Poland for a good team.
40% chance you get in the same bath as Portugal or Italy, 60% chance you don't. Nothing to fear from a home tie vs anyone unseeded, imo.
Yeah, the draw is absolutely key here. Wales or Scotland beating Italy or Portugal at this stage would take a monumental effort. Not impossible, but extremely unlikely. Shouldn't fear Sweden or Russia either. Good enough to turn both over. I hope you both make it, but it's one maximum and even that will be a challenge.
Chances of Italy and Portugal being in the same group are zero.
Is there any way Wales can knock Scotland out?
Presumably if they both beat their pot 2 matchups and are in the same "group" or whatever it's called they will meet in the "final playoff"?
They're mixed in with Nations League teams so you basically have three teams qualifying from a few four-team playoffs as I understand it.
But does that mean even if Wales and Scotland are pot 1 there'll still be multiple pot 1 teams per four-team playoff?
I was looking at the format for the next World Cup (48 teams) the other day, and it really is going to be a car crash. 16 groups of three, so the final games will be played with both teams knowing what they have to do, and there is talk of the West Germany v Austria scenario being mitigated by having compulsory penalty shootouts for any draw.
Infantino is a very bad man indeed, possibly as bad as Blatter.
I'd put good money down on Sweden reaching Qatar.
I watched their game vs Georgia, having re-introduced Zlatan they were utterly dire. He is a bad player who disrupts the team and they need to bin him to have any chance.
What a mess this bollocks is. They must dying for a few civil wars so they can squeeze some more countries in.
I think we could beat them at home but they’re probably the best team in the unseeded pot. Maybe Austria if they get their act together but we really should have beaten them home and away rather than just away.
I really wouldn’t fancy an away game to Russia. Referees on the pay roll and all that
Yeah, obviously not. Was hoping that Jimmy would’ve been triggered by my post to tell us the untold tales of the Adebayors. Seemingly Victorien lives for the national team judging by his stats.

Portugal, Italy and ideally seeing the Russian World Cup Committee dump Wales or Scotland out in the most disgusting manner possible, please.
I could see the value in having Zlatan with them, but it'd have to be on a "our system's not working, we're creating nothing, let's get Zlatan on as a sub and hope he does something" basis, rather than him starting/building the tactic around him. Doubt he'd go for it though.
I do and Scotland is definitely in the top 4 sides out of that lot in terms of value they'd be adding to the tournament but the Russian World Cup Committee offer potential seethe from the dirty European cunts and obviously bring the hotties too.
Zlatan will be banned for Swedens first game in the playoffs as he got his second yellow against Spain.
Russia are a European country @Don you mong, but yes I like the sentiment though. Russia, Italy, and Portugal would probably annoy the most. Poland would be acceptable too.
The majority of Russia is in Asia.
Edit: No it isn't. Fuck off Spikey, you dickhead.
I would prefer to have Italy and Portugal in the World Cup out if that lot with Scotland and maybe Sweden.
Wales, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine would be the worst possible outcome for me.
I want Wales and Scotland to go through.
I'll take one of Italy and Portugal in the finals and the other one to crash out in hilarious fashion with tears aplenty.
Nobody cries like Ronaldo, but I want Italian suffering. The bastards.
It’ll be tough to knock out our Italian brothers after the shift they put in during the summer if we face each other but you have to do what you gotta do sometimes
Russia are as European as Israel.
One one hand I am no Ronaldo fan but I'd suck up him winning a dodgy pen to win it and then giving it the big one for all that beautiful seethe.
