    They should probably put that dude in charge of the ECA.

    Almost certainly a lesser evil than the PSG guy.

    In the betting thread, I've backed Soutter for a hattrick Vietnam missing best 2 defenders, and half the midfield. Aussies by 4 or 5, min.

    Oof didnt know that bit of news.

    It is in my nature to be mean when in direct sporting competition but the Vietnamese playing style is very likeable.

    Against weaker opposition, it proper decent football. However, against notably better teams Coach Park gets scared, and plays super defensive... and refuses to make changes.

    Edit: team news is out, only 4 injured players starting. Good news is 7 Nguyễn's....

    There is somebody on Madagascar's bench today named Razakanirina Rakotohasimbola.

    Meanwhile, Zimbabwe's starting XI has Perfect, Divine and Knowledge, with Blessing primed on the bench if required.

    We can only hope that good old Innocent Bonke gets a run out later on for Nigeria (perhaps he'll warm up with Moses Daddy Simon).

    Surely the explanation is one virile young man got an erection and another young man was fascinated/attracted by it.

    Seems to be little mystery there.

    Yeah, you've cracked the case. You can also see the erection flicker if you watch carefully.

    First win against a decent team away from home for what feels like years. We’re so close to a decent team. The manager is dreadful though and we must be the worst international team at finishing chances

    Not quite, but at least there's McGinn(s). The John variety is the best player in that team by a mile.

    I thought I'd heard it all when it came to dreadful tournament formats, but no. Here's the new system for European World Cup playoffs.

    The second round (play-offs) will be contested by the ten group runners-up and the best two Nations League group winners, based on the Nations League overall ranking, who finished outside the top two of their qualifying group. They will be separated into three play-off paths, with each path featuring two single-leg semi-finals and one single-leg final. The semi-finals will be hosted by the six best-ranked runners-up of the qualifying group stage, while the host of the final will be determined by a draw. The semi-finals will be played on 24–25 March, and the finals on 28–29 March 2022. The winners of each path will qualify for the World Cup.

    He’s also really good. Gilmour will be levels ahead though. His touch, passing and his ability to drift past players makes him the most talented player by far that I’ve ever seen for Scotland.

    We’ve got two really good right backs breaking through as well and another unreal left back (s). Just need a winger and/or centre half and we’ll qualify for years with the core group

    Where the fuck did this 'path' wank come from (the UEFA club tournaments are riddled with it now too) and is this whole thing a concerted effort to make tournament structures so hard to follow that no one will care if/when they have to just give a place to one of the big clubs/nations?

    Presumably they exist to ensure if a decent team ever somehow fails to qualify they will be in (or can be fudged into) the easiest 'path'.

    I like the new system. It's really not that complicated and reduces the randomness a bit in that it potentially gives a team who got fucked over by a harder group another stab. Clearly better than the past few editions where the 2nd place team with the worst record didn't qualify to the play-offs.

    More jeopardy is always good as well.

    What is going on with Lyndon Dykes accents?

    I was going to say it's some sort of weird Australian/Scotch/London, but that makes sense after looking him up on wiki.

    Also, what sort of name is that?

    Im not sure I dont think so as they arent selecting A League players due to the 2 weeks quarantine.

    The mood on the internet down here was that Vietnam were always going to be a tough game.

    Apparently we are the first AFC nation to win 10 straight World Cup qualifiers in one campaign.

    We're back to normal this weekend. I actually quite enjoyed having the three international games as opposed to two. It didn't feel anywhere near as dead as it usually does.
