2017-2018 Soccer Thread: Brace Yourselves, World Cup Posters Are Coming

[Roranora]

Where were you with Belgium last int'l break!? We're quite keen on the Belgians round here.

Mexico is also well represented.

[Cail]

I saw it on the twitter's today, is the only reason lol

[Roranora]

So they say the real WC qualification story is Syria(playing in Malaysia); they just need a second leg miracle in Sydney on Tuesday to.. qualifyface CONCACAF 4th place in a yet another two-legged playoff.

[Tyrath]

Germany too

I think you mean Germany qualified for the WC semi finals.

[Talint]

Harry Kane bails out England and qualifies them for the WC.

I like that sentence.

[Talint]

There is a very real possibility that this World Cup could miss out on Messi, Ronaldo, AND Pulisic.

[Tyrath]

Eh. I wouldn't call any of them real possibilities.

1 match left and Argentina plays Ecuador whereas the 2 teams above them both play each other. And then Chile has Brazil.

Portugal will most likely win the playoff round match.

And US has 2 matches to overtake the 1 point lead Panama has and their next games are Trinidad and Tobago and Panama. Whereas Panama plays US and Costa Rica.

All these teams are fucking up but they will limp to the finish. The real sad part is whats happened to Netherlands after finishing 2nd and 3rd in the last 2 WC. If Sweden beats Luxemburg, which I assume they will, they are probably fucked.

[Talint]

Turkey 0 - 3 Iceland
Croatia 1 - 1 Finland

If Iceland beat Kosovo, they will directly qualify for their first world cup ever.

The Great White Hope

[Tyrath]

So yeah, US is gonna be fine.

Fuck yeah Iceland.

[Talint]

Panama were genuinely shocking though. Credit to them for going for it, but they may have just suicided themselves out of a world cup opportunity.

[Tyrath]

Netherlands basically out of WC with Sweden beating Luxembourg 8-0

[Talint]

Saw that.

That's wild.

Gareth Bale
Lionel Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo
Christian Pulisic

[Jefe]

Good, good. God willing the Argentinian team will get eliminated today. Will feel sorry for Messi doe.

[Roranora]

I wish it were easier to watch Conmebol qualifiers here. It should be noted Argentina can still qualify even with a loss and the right results elsewhere. Their form and psyche are poor, and trips to Quito are rarely easy, but I think Argentina will get a result.

Concacaf TV rights are rubbish too. I'll probably pull up a shitty stream rather than go somewhere with beIN Sports to watch Trinidad and Tobago v USA.

Holland only need 5 second half goals to nip Sweden.

BeIN Sports is legit bad. It's ridiculous how many rights they have to things.

[Jefe]
