FIFA World Cup pre-tournament discussion - Page 63 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

They should make the inter confederation playoffs into a single site event in a neutral country. Make them all one game playoffs held in the same city over a long weekend.

I love this Idea, can make them on the host nation with a Wednesday-Sunday schedule.

Putin has invited Blatter to the World Cup.
What a prick.

It's gracious of Putin to let such a prick enjoy the fruits of his life's work despite the impolite legal actions against him.

Is Anders Christiansen in the discussion for a squad spot for Denmark for the playoffs? He's been the best player in allsvenskan this season but idk how stacked the danes are in midfield.

It's going to be interesting to see which 4 strikers we have in our squad. There gotta be at least 8 players all on very similar level

Cahill hurts his ankle in a league game before the most important qualifying match we have played in 12 years.

Nice...

It's almost as if relying on an 87 year old player isn't a viable strategy.

Its probably the best strategy we have sadly. Juric is slow, Kruse is bad, Leckie is suspended. Nikita Rukavitsya sighting for the first time in eons tho...

Will take a 0-0 back to Sydney.

Apperently Italy havent won in Sweden since 1912

Probably too late to naturalize Broich, as well, by now.

He left the A-League this season, not sure where he is now but would have been very hypocritical of us since we bag out the UAE and Qatar for naturalising Brazilians all the time.

Apparently he's retired and is now taking up coaching. That surprises me, I figured after he was done playing he'd do something more... intellectual.

Modric scores a pen. Croatia deserved the lead

May have been the most obvious pen ÖAT. Keeper lucky not to be off as well.

Awesome goal for 2-0. Scorer in acres of space. I'm glad a team that can play football like this will probably go to the WC instead of lol Greece

Swiss definitely should have had a red card after 5 mins.

They're giving norn iron a bit of a doing without scoring here.
