It was a foul, he stood on the back of his foot Clear foul like.

Kick outs been fine today. Not his long ones. I've counted only 1 so far that's found one of our players. Our expectations are that they should just be kept in play, so in that sense he's done alright

Correct decision, but late whistle that.

Joselu giving Yoshida a hard time in the air. Both missing the ball constantly.

GTFI! HAYDEN!

Playing well.

I think #10 is the most important position at the moment though. I'm fine with Manquillo, Gamez and Mbemba sharing the LB spot if we 'can't afford' all three.

Need to get a proper #10/2nd striker. Perez flatters to deceive so much.

International football stuff, Rafa seems to hate using players who have been playing for their country. Only Yedlin is playing.

Why is Clark benched? Carrying a knock?

He's far more technical than Sissoko like. Not saying you're wrong, but I was impressed with him a few times when he played for Valencia.

I have plenty of times for Valencia, never for Barcelona. Seems more like a #10 than anything else. Think he's better when he's the focal point of a team, but not a part time player as he is for Barcelona.

Dijons goal. Wow.

Jesus is a beast.

That's a penalty.

Can has to do so much better there. Feels like I've seen this happen plenty this season for Liverpool. Messing up easy chances.

De Gea is such an amazing goalkeeper.

Love it. They really deserve to qualify. They've been impressive for a few years considering the players they have.

Best news ever if Qatar loses the 2022 World Cup. Seriously. Don't actually mind it being in Qatar that much more than I'm livid of it being played in November.

You can't mock us better than we mock ourselves tbh. I'm sure you guys won't suddenly be superfans if England do well at the WC. No doubt, we'll be fans but we'll still know we're s***, we're Newcastle fans remember. It's more that no one's interested until there's a tournament tbh. Our qualifiers have felt pointless for a while, not because we're good but because despite being bad we're always in easy qualifying groups, it's really really boring and the matches feel like they constantly get in the way of watching Newcastle. Well we're dicks and we adore our bag of s*** national team. This s*** sucks. So f*** y'all for enjoying it. Gonna support the f*** out of Germany. I already know I'm gonna lean on the Hitler angle too. It's gonna be inappropriate as f***. I'm honestly ambivalent tbh. It's mildly amusing, but it's not as good as it would have been if Ireland or Brazil didn't qualify in terms of what the reaction on here would have been like. I don't think anyone really cares enough to properly mock you on it. Either because everyone knows England are s*** as well, or just because no one cares about you and your daft little excuse for a football team. I'd leave this forum forever.

Based on the FIFA rankings it looks like the pots for the World Cup draw might end up being Pot 1 Russia, Germany, Poland, Portugal, France, Belgium, Brazil, Argentina. Pot 2 Spain, England, Italy/Croatia/somebody else, Switzerland, Colombia, Uruguay, Peru, Mexico With Brazil and Argentina not being allowed to play Colombia, Uruguay or Peru, there's a big chance England might end up in of their groups.

The fact that you called goals points entitles you to less sympathy. People are flustered. Give these people time. The teenage version of me swore at a random Zambian woman when we missed 2006. Fucking hell. Chile and the US, two teams I was sure were going to qualify.

OMG

Been the old Chile after Sampaoli left. Have had good results based on the players, but seems to have been a lack of motivation in this group of players after winning two straight Copa Americas.
