World Cup 2018 thread

May as well post it.

Russia are currently the only team qualified (as hosts) but Brazil can make it tonight if they beat Uruguay.

Argentina play Chile tonight also and they are in trouble if they fail to win. They should still make it but it will be tight. Probably Messi's last chance to win the World Cup, I could see him playing until 35 in terms of fitness but think if he can't win it here he will retire for good this time.

England, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland all have a good chance to qualify at present. Wales although they have dropped some silly points are not out of it yet but Scotland have pretty much blown it already.

Canada are out and the USA Soccer Bros are bottom of their qualifying group two games in. Should still make it though.

belgium has the best group possible, 4 games in still looking perfect

pulling for them ofc but if I had to put money on it I'd go for France. just feel like it's their year.

France have an excellent set of players. Then you see that Deschamps is their manager and realise they don't have a chance.

I'd have my money on Argentina, but I'm not sure if their defence/midfield will hold out.

i definitely think it'll be their defence that costs them.

The big one in 45 minutes lads.

The Emerald Isle vs The Land of Song

2-0 Wales

~~Cuthbert~~ · 03-24-2017, 02:01 PM

Just checked the scores (got out shower) and thought it was 2-0

haha, not quite.

anyone notice Ramsey always looks like an entirely different player on the pitch when he's playing for Wales?

coleman is the best player on the squad by far imo, absolutely tragic loss if it's long term.
