After that dreadful humiliation how can he still be employed after this? what a idiotic and mind boggling decision. Mon out. Worked for Italy and Ventura to be fair. Wait. What.

Christian Eriksen though Oneill should go but in fairness they haven't had a decent striker since Keane and this crop of players are nowhere near the level they had say under Jack Charlton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 In fairness that Ireland team is garbage, such a lack of quality throughout, very few top flight players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Nice bit of banter from IKEA who are responding to among other things a few Twitter campaigns by fans in Italy to boycott them after Sweden's win against Italy. And among them my favorite one by and Italian singer Loris Diamante (no idea who that is but he's funny) for people to take so many free pencils that IKEA go out of business On their Facebook site IKEA are posting this picture with the caption: "To apologize we are gifting this bench to Gian Piero" (the Italian manager) Edit: Also congrats to Denmark, cracking display!

Marvellous from the Scandinavians Good to see both on the way back after declining last ten years. Depends on groups of course but can see both making the knock outs. Iceland the wildcard aswell. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep think they meet the criteria over Holland, U.S.A and Argentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Yes one of the power house nations of World football. I would put them only behind Brazil and Germany. Ok Spain and France have had success in the last 20 years but from Italy have been there for longer. They had another iconic goalkeeper who when they won the world cup in 82 was 40. Dino Zoff! In fact the 82 world cup win was the most amazing I have seen given the strength of the opposition that year.

Glad to see a side properly deserve to progress with distinction rather than grind out a bore win. Denmark always try to play good football but MON halftime changes gave them the game. At 2-1 we still in it but taking off 2 centre midfielders released Eriksen Sherwoodesque madness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
