    That is the best draw ever, unless it ends up being Ukraine v Austria I suppose.

    Atleast one of them will find a way to fuck it up, sadly.

    If we beat Ukraine we face Wales or Austria at home. Slightly annoying, think I’d rather face Austria since we’ve already beaten them but they’re probably a better team.

    Ukraine also don’t lose very often but we should have enough at home for these. Couldn’t think of much worse than losing to Gareth Bale again

    The other group is just the most generic set of play off ties ever. Scotland, Sweden, Italy for me, Clive.

    I’m glad we avoided everyone in that path B. Would have fancied us more against Portugal or Turkey than Poland, Czech’s or Sweden

    I think on balance I'll take Portugal over Italy. The latter have the greater overall potential for histrionics and sense of entitlement, even if C.Ronaldo ups the former's quotient by 1000%.

    Don't mind which of Scotland/Wales qualifies, but Ukraine/Austria can get fucked.

    If it leads to Ronaldo crying and Jota getting a rest, I'm all for it.

    Ronaldo's last Internatinal Tournament, surely? Him getting retired by a qualifier would be amazing.

    Hopefully Scotland, Sweden and Portugal go through.

    I do fear it’ll be Ukraine, Russia and Italy.

    I think Scotland and Wales will fancy their chances. We're guaranteed one big nation out, at least.

    Absolute mess of a club, I hadn’t actually realised that Power had fully sold. The son is absolute muck by all accounts too.

    They scored a few minutes ago and all went his direction.

    Just watched the whole of West Brom v Nottm Forest. Weekend isn't coming back from this.

    Hate to say that based on an early sample, football media are really struggling with the word 'Rangnick'. I'm not really sure why. It's a very easy word. Rang Nick. They all seem to want to put a Y in it.

    It won't be as fun seeing an educated and credible man who knows what he's doing crash and burn but I'm sure I'll get over it.

    Without sounding like a sexist pig... Why do all female football presenters absolutely cake themselves in make up? Half of them look like clowns.

    Aye, that too.

    Also, would be nice if BT moved their microphone away from the screaming kids.

    Newcastle have been camped in their box for the entire half and then Aubameyang goes and misses an open goal from a yard out. So annoying.

    I’ve deleted like 3 posts in reply to the question which kind of sums up my issues. I’m never a big fan of players that don’t get involved in play but also if he gets a 1v1 I expect him to convert it but then we don’t create enough of those situations.

    I go back and forth basically.

    Dunno what some of you dislike about him. Thiago is utter quality. Guess he does get booked a fair bit.

    If Alisson cuts out those weird passes to the oppo, he would genuinely be one of the best keepers ever. So fucking good. /mantralux

    Alisson is also very considerate. He tends to squeeze his seasons quota or errors into one disastrous game.

    In not at all dodgy scenes in Portugal, Benfica were due to play away at Belenenses tonight. But Belenenses had a COVID outbreak. Turns out they got told tough shit and have named a 9 man team, with no subs and 2 goalkeepers in it.

    Benfica currently 3-0 up.

    7-0 wasn’t bad in fairness.
