VillaChris Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Poor poor choice as manager. Wasn't it supposed to be Ronald Koeman anyway and the Dutch FA changed their minds at the last minute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Koeman always wanted to go into club football when he left Feyenoord. He might've been approached by the Dutch FA and refused but there's no way they turned him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 http://youtu.be/7iUBsSlDXc0 The Balkan states up to their usual tricks. Serbia vs Albania qualifier called off after a drone with the Albania flag draped from it flies over the pitch and a Serbian player tore it down. Fight ensues, ref calls the game off. It really is a bit spicy in that part of the world, isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Massive goal from Ronaldo just, 5 seconds from the end in Denmark. Should ensure Portugal scrape into another tournament by the skin of their teeth, they hardly created anything, disappointing match in the end as the Danes were happy with a 0-0.

VillaChris Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Kyle Lafferty looking like a man possessed for Norn Iron in this qualifying campaign, can't say I've ever rated him much at club level but he could be adopting the Healy mantle of Ronaldo esque performances for his national team.

Football matches tend to be the forum of choice for political expression, racist expression, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yeah, lingering ethnic tensions always simmering beneath the surface down there. Football matches tend to be the forum of choice for political expression, racist expression, etc. It's been completely forgotten about by the media over here but the Kosovo situation is still a real big issue over there. The conflict hasn't actually ended, there are still skirmishes and a faux truce is only being maintained by peacekeepers last time I checked. Flying an Albanian flag into the stadium was never going to end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Kosovo is pushing for FIFA membership, they have been playing friendly internationals for the first time this year. It will be interesting to see the reaction if/when they get membership because it legitimises their claim to be an independent country via a sport that people in the region deeply care about. I can see why FIFA are dragging their heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
