The field really is ridiculously good this year. No shit teams

Poor Australia. Spain England and Ivory Coast fuck that

I just don't want to talk about NUFC anymore and haven't for a while now. It's morbidly depressing.

Jesus that was a good intervention from Krul and just horrible luck by Debuchy.

We will, never, ever get a penalty for handball until the end of the universe.

Simulator just gave me Argentina, France, and Bosnia

Don't worry, your presence (or lack of) won't change your draw, or your getting knocked out of the group stages with 1 point. We've never had less than four points in the group stage in the last four World Cups. ...So yeah, I guess we're losing all three this time.

Have class during the draw ugh

Doing well but can't shake that feeling that impending disaster is just around the corner

You can't completely ignore a clear foul just because remy exaggerates the contact a bit

Corner goals. So easy

You always need luck to win in sports, especially when both teams are playing at a high level. Pardew may not be a good manager but I don't think he's a particularly lucky one.

Fuck you for reminding me that happened

oldtype spat as he typed this. Their third vs Belgium was shit hot, tbf. You'd have to be blind to ignore the fact that Japan is the best team on the continent at the moment. Weak-minded cunts always crumble in big matches though so it should be fine. Would love to be paired against them in a knockout round.

Your manager in the qualifiers was a bit of a dick, wasn't he? Going on about how he'd love Uzbekistan to qualify for the World Cup, and he'll crush Iran's dreams and all. Glad he got binned. South Korea is usually a class side with a lot of dignity, and deserves a class manager. Not that clueless clown who was a 96th minute equalizer in Beirut away from sending you guys to play-offs against Uruguay. He's the best Korean manager at club level but that's down to him being a complete dictator. Was never going to have that kind of authority with more accomplished players who had played in Europe so the national team was a bad fit all around. I have much more faith in the new manager.

We're clearly worse than Japan but far better than Australia. I doubt anyone writing articles for the Guardian watches any Asian football.

Feel bad for people in Europe. We've been at every World Cup since the year I was born. Draw is only a couple of weeks away now. Hope we get Switzerland-Greece-Algeria

Shola will score against Korea at the world cup. I can feel it coming.

Staggering how some people don't realize that Twitter is a public forum.

Sports Direct logo on the Bobby Robson statue.

They're a team you expect to finish fifth and they're on course to do so despite selling their best player. Unsure what they're complaining about.

I think it's 4, without City scoring. 1-0 (Bardsley) 1-0 (Johnson) 1-0 (Ji) 1-0 (Bent) That Ji goal in the last minute was something like five miles offside

14 shots on goal so somewhere around 14 is probably a fair estimate.

Can't count the number of times I said to myself "ah fuck, that's in."

It's probable that other obscenely rich countries are also lobbying FIFA to let them join the party as as solution for the Qatar problem. Solve corruption with more corruption. Makes perfect sense.
