WC Play-offs

I disagree. They were to slow on the ball, but still played Sweden very deep. We have seen many teams be frustrated by opponents that only kick the ball to the stands, and then lay down to waste time at all opportunities. They had their chances, and if they were given the Clear penalty early in second half that game could have been ugly.

How anyone can say Italy was the awful team after watching that Sweden team is a mystery.

I'm shedding absolutely no tears for Italy. For decades they've had top class individuals but mocked their own skill by playing cynical, safety-first football. The World Cup won't be the same without them. It'll be better.
 
Yes, because less dishonest. Both teams are poor but at least Sweden don't pay lip service to the artistry of football and then kick ten bells out of the opposition. They're cr@p, they know it and they don't try to pretend otherwise.
 
Rumoured starting XI for Denmark tonight:

..................................Schmeichel.............................
A Christensen.....Kjaer............Bjelland..........Stryger
.........................Kvist.................Delaney...................
......................................Eriksen................................
Yussuf................................................................Sisto
...................................Cornelius.................................

Bit of a surprise that Chelsea central defender AC seems to be picked for the RB position ahead of Ankersen - could have something to do with our defending/attacking on set-pieces mind. Otherwise more or less as expected.
Yeah, I was impressed with Yussuf when he came on and him, Sisto and Eriksen should be good enough to win you the game as long as the other 7 outfield players get stuck in. I'm getting more and more negative about Ireland's chances as the day progresses.

Yesterday the Swedes lay down, waste time, and play the same game, just not as artistic as the Spaghettis.
 
I always expect the worst and hope for the best, so I'm thinking that we'll both be at home next summer. at least we'll have the nicest Taytos.

Take whatever crumbs of comfort you can Jack. Even if they are the delusional, and frankly inedible crumbs of southern Tayto crisps.

I took the Carlingford Lough ferry from Greenore to Greencastle recently.
The very wisely in all likelihood declined to stock either variant in the on board shop

I choose to believe they only stock the Northern ones and they had sold out. Hard to keep them on the shelves.
 
Fucks sake. Watched the first few minutes then had to read the kids stories & put them to bed, finally come to sit down & switch the telly on to see they're 2-1 down.

I really want Ireland to get the WC, makes the atmosphere great.
 
I Didn't realise how poor Ireland were. Letting Denmark stroke the ball around in thier own back yard.
