World cup draw

[Nobody's Rep]

They are at it already. Makes the inevitable crash all the funnier.

Attachment 4862

That's the upside of the next 6 months or so and then they crash and burn

[Nobody's Rep]

To be fair, as WC semi finalists and Euro finalists, for once you can kinda see why they're feeling good about their chances

Appreciate that but doesn't mean they can't conduct themselves with a bit of humility

Apparrently if we or scotland qualify we will be competitive - patronising at best

In a perverse way I feel for Southgate as he seems a decent bloke but the media hype doesn't help them one iota

'Tis a crying shame you lot are so inward-looking and unaware of World Cup history.

I need to remind youse that the United States defeated England 1–0 on 29 June 1950, in a group match of the 1950 FIFA World Cup at Brazil. The result is notable as one of the biggest upsets in the competition's history.

There is a school of academic thought that history tends to repeat itself.

They need to scrap the 3rd place game and replace with a select XI vs select XI

Why is that better than 3v4?

Oh I actually couldn't agree more, I don't know what came over me to be honest

[goats]

Do Qatar airlines still fly out of cardiff or was that scrapped?

[WJ99mobile]

The 3 v 4 is a joke of a game.

At least make it enjoyable.

Maybe 11 players from teams that didn’t make the World Cup

Make them have something to cheer about

If I was a player I don't think I could think of anything I'd rather do less than go and play a friendly game at the end of a tournament I didn't qualify for

[The Bloop]

Why stop at 3v4?
Why not have playoffs to determine all 32 positions?

I don't think the jocks have ever got out of the group stage.
Hence the old joke ...
they they have adopted that "football's coming home" song as their anthem, changing some of the words to suit them.
#Obviously they had to change the title from 3 Lions to...
3 games.

Agree.
Can't believe they still hold it tbh.

It's something to fill the gap between the semis and the final. And of course ££££

There’d be plenty of players that would.

If I was a player I couldn’t think of anything I’d rather do less than play for a losers medal

Either way scrap the 3rd place

Yeah it's pretty close between your friendly idea and the losers medal match for shitness to be fair

Why is that better though? Still a pile of piss.
