Bloody Nora, the radio guy just mentioned Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale 'Der er forskel' to express the difference in quality between these two teams. This isn't supposed to be educational ffs

I don't know if that's fair. Individual fuckups from three goals.
― eeshTrip (darraghmac), Tuesday, 14 November 2017 21:21 (six years ago) link
Excommunicate whichever defender was responsible for the third Eriksen goal BTW.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 14 November 2017 21:23 (six years ago) link
Three individual fuckups too many tho tbf xp

Eriksen has scored eleven times in eleven qualifiers.

Ward again matt

Clearly had nothing to lose after the blackcap was donned in the first half over the cunt, the cunt
Three humdingers though, would have been genuinely gutted to see Eriksen miss the World Cup.

Agreed it's an ok consolation tbh

So brave McClean what a hero
Fuck....we need to score five now, right?
Big ask.

p fucking deflated about last night. it could be another 20 years before ireland make a world cup. or it could be five years, or it could be 35.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 15 November 2017 09:41 (six years ago) link
tho that's not mathematically possible you get the idea
calzino's probably never had a chance to watch a world cup playoff with a huddersfield player on another level to everyone else on the pitch
― imago, Wednesday, 15 November 2017 09:46 (six years ago) link
ireland will be fine, they're expanding the world cup aren't they? they'll be there, if not next time then the one after. in qatar. the world cup in qatar, featuring ireland
― imago, Wednesday, 15 November 2017 09:47 (six years ago) link
ah dang i forgot about the expansion
when does this stupid international friendly tournament start
― nxd, Wednesday, 15 November 2017 09:54 (six years ago) link
isn't it like the top 8 countries in the world keep playing each other then after a year half the teams get relegated haha
― nxd, Wednesday, 15 November 2017 09:55 (six years ago) link
i'm in favour of the expansion, the entire thing has been contracting for years from a european pov. in the 90s, second got us in. in 2002, we played iran in a playoff. for 2018 and 2014 we come second and end up playing seeded european teams.
i get it's a global tournament but fuck it like, the euros showed that letting the barbarians in was actually quite exciting, and that most of the teams are shit and likely to lose to a well-organised bunch of championship game lads.

every country in the world should be involved, it should go on for four years then begin again
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 15 November 2017 10:04 (six years ago) link
They're going to make it 48 countries or something? Kinda feel the same like LG. Holland will struggle hard the next ten years.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 15 November 2017 10:05 (six years ago) link
sounds just like my idea for expanding eurovisionthumb up
― nxd, Wednesday, 15 November 2017 10:05 (six years ago) link
xp That's my ideal. And just a Wimbledon like draw. No seeds.
Playing random shit teams (us included) in a drawn out league format to qualify - attritional soul killing shit
Playing these same teams as part of a month-long tournament in one country- life's rich pageant
NB I 100% mean this
― eeshTrip (darraghmac), Wednesday, 15 November 2017 10:13 (six years ago) link
Ireland’s problem is lack of raw talent, Netherlands’ seems potentially easier to fix in the short term with better management? idk

Lack of raw talent versus who else?
We've a team of professional topflight or near enough footballers.
Our problems are kinda like but not totally like England's- these guys have no fucking idea of tactical adaptability and little respect for the basics of playing as a responsive unit.
― eeshTrip (darraghmac), Wednesday, 15 November 2017 10:21 (six years ago) link
Northern Ireland got a lot closer to qualifying with far less raw talent, far less even than Scotland tbh.
― Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Wednesday, 15 November 2017 10:23 (six years ago) link
Which is why Scotland are trying to poach Michael O'Neill.
