2022 World Cup qualifiers

[Histrionics]

We're fucked.

[Red Neville]

Yeah, still need to win final 2 matches to directly qualify. First tiebreaker is goal difference so if we beat Japan we'll be at least 5 goals ahead of them on goal difference so that would almost certainly be enough if we then beat Saudis. That being said, our recent form suggests we won't win either game.

So does theirs, both of them looked a bit squeaky at other stages of the qualification but seem to have got over their demons while ours are only getting worse.

[Red Neville]

Sigh.

Anyone got Guus Hiddink's phone number?

[Red Neville]

Bloody France and Denmark again then.

Luckily we we're not going to make it.

Gotta go through Peru as well if we can get past UAE.

[Red Neville]

Job done - eventually, just about, after much huffing and puffing... but depressingly that was the easy bit.

Nice strike from Hrustic to win it but not much else to write home about.

One more week until the nightmare ends. Peru aren't great but they're still a level above us at the moment. One off game in Qatar though, could get lucky. Certainly don't deserve to be in the WC, don't really know if I even want us to make it but it is what it is.

On the other side, Costa Rica should also beat NZ, similar situation with us and Peru.

[Red Neville]

This is a fucking terrible game

[Red Neville]

If their number 10 fell into a sausage grinding machine I'd laugh my tits off. Then buy the sausages.

These are horrible cunts. Ours are just shite.

[Red Neville]

Slight opening for Behich but fell to his weaker foot. Which is quite a distinction to make.

[Red Neville]

Mabil is like Leckie used to be when he was useful. Someone to add a bit of energy.

[Red Neville]

FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Red Neville]

I'm a bit pissed

AUSSIE

[BobbyVanVeen]

that was a shocking match.

Oh well, world cup.

Thought mabil was rubbish tbh

Boyle was good until the penalty. Lucky we got through or we'd have to ship him back to Scotland

[Red Neville]

Inzud a goal down and a man down with 20 left. Not looking good. Barbarouses with a proper A-League tackle.

[Red Neville]

And that's all she wrote. Had a red hot go but couldn't force one in. Still, trimindous iffort.

[divvydan]

Didn't think I cared about making world cup but to do it with Redmayne throwing away the cheat sheet for the Peru keeper makes it all worthwhile. Uruguay would be proud.
