VILLAMARV Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 So Iceland qualify for their first ever World Cup. Serbia make it too. Republic of Ireland and Croatia join Italy in the play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Amazing stuff from Iceland. Group of Croatia, Ukraine and Turkey is probably the strongest in depth of all the euro groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for all the Balkan teams really. Produce brilliant technical teams but can never get unity as their FAs are dodgy, fans rioting in the stands and that inevitably filters down to the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we lost away to Finland and dropped points. Just want to underline that these guys deserve all the credit. Anyway what a night! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thought they'd drop off a bit with Lars leaving but looks like the Dentist guy is a good coach in his own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 10, 2017 Moderator Share Posted October 10, 2017 1-1 in Australia with 13 minutes to go. Nothing against Australia but this would be an unbelievable story if Syria got through. They need this a lot more than the Aussies do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Why do Australia always make everything so difficult for themselves? Even dating back to the 2000s golden generation. Drawing with Syria over 2 legs ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Red card in extra time in the play off. That's some call to make by the ref. Missed it and only saw one quick replay, was it correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that's how every team in the world would act in their position. Edit: Unless they were managed by Tim Sherwood, because he'd probably have them standing at the half way line Edited October 10, 2017 by sne 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now a man down it'll only get worse. Going into 2nd half of E.T. now. The bums just got squeakier. It couldn't go to penalties ... could it ... ?
