Football 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying Thread

Well done Chris Coleman you have the worlds most expensive player sat on the bench and we are playing against Macedonia, it's an absolute joke.

Presumably he didn't want to take any risks with his fitness. I was impressed with Wales, didn't seem to get what they deserved out of that.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

To be honest teabagyokel wales are in the same situation as they were back in the 90's when Ryan Giggs was the best player by far in the team, yet SAF did not won't him to play for Wales as he might have picked up an injury, and I have the feeling that the same situation is going to happen with Gareth Bale while he is at Real Madrid.

Guys lets be real Wales isn't qualifying for anything anytime soon with or without Gareth Bale

 

[teabagyokel]

I suppose though, Johnny Carwash, I spend so much time watching England's half-fit saviours do shit all at major tournaments that I reckon teams should bench their "best" players if not 100%.

 

[McZiderRed]

England are playing in a World Cup qualifying match right at this moment and I'm so n.....

... Erm, what? Oh, err, did I miss anyth...

 

[F1Yorkshire]

This match reminds me of Monza.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

At least you guys don't have to watch Wales play.

I can't believe Northern Ireland lost to Luxembourg 3-2 last night - although it was nice to see the Luxembourg players & staff going crazy after something like their fourth ever win.

 

[Galahad]

Ten-team accumulator brought me in a tidy £150 last night.

And no, I didn't include England in the bet!

 

[mjo]

Was Luxembourg in that bet?

 

[Galahad]

Ah, no, only the incredibly one-sided games. Easiest money I've ever won. France had me biting my nails but otherwise no problems.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Did anyone bet on San Marino scoring? Alessandro Della Valle is their qualifier top scorer, the centre half!

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Was one of the teams San Marino U21's

 

[Jos the Boss]

Didn't they beat Wales?

 

[Johnny Carwash]

They did indeed Jos the Boss apparently Wales were happy that they kept the score down to just 1-0.

 

[mjo]

So that makes Wales nearly as bad as England then

 

[soccerman17]

USA has qualified!

As has Costa Rica

 

[teabagyokel]

mjo - Think you'd have to be a really poor punter to ever include a match involving Northern Ireland in an accumulator. Literally any result is possible with that lot!
