Not worthy of a thread - 2018 FIFA World Cup edition

I don't think G Nev is that bad of a pundit compared to most of the other ones that are employed on the various tv and radio stations.  Can't stand his brothers analysis mind.

 

It's ITV that's the problem really, I like Gary Neville even if he just doesn't get Newcastle.

We're guaranteed to get Argentina or Germany from pot 1 and Iceland or Sweden from pot 3

 

Can't have 3 Europeans in 1 group I think

 

You're right it's only 2.  Argentina and Sweden it is then  :lol:

 

Get Nigeria in there and it's 2002 all over again

Aren't the Americans hosting an Alternative Fake News World Cup anyway with the teams that didn't qualify?

 

To be fair Holland, Italy, USA, Ghana, Chile, Wales, Czech Rep, Ivory Coast etc would be a pretty decent tournament  :lol:

I quite like the idea tbh.  Could be quite a decent little tournament with some of the teams that didn't qualify.

 

I don't mind the idea, but it would basically be the Europa League version of the World Cup. Can't see how motivated the participating teams would be, which would be a downer.

Opportunity to introduce the next generation of players. Knowing us, they’d probably fuck even that up and still field the likes of Howard and Beasley.

My knee jerk reaction was to dismiss it...then you look at the quality of the teams that could be involved and it would be pretty fun. As long as they don't act like cunts and stage it during the WC itself  :lol:

Fifa wouldn't sanction it during a WC. A straight up knockout competition with unseeded draws either just before or just after would be mint though.

Best: Poland, England, Iran, Australia.

 

Worst: Brazil, England, Denmark, Nigeria

 

I'd take that group - the Australian media is talking like we're going to make it out of the groups for the first time 2006, but it's going to take a soft group like Poland, England and Iran for that to happen (we can't be grouped with Iran, however). Other nice options include Peru/Uruguay and Senegal/Egypt.

 

Having said that, considering we don't know who our coach is going to be, and how well that coach will be able to select a team and make it perform to potential, we're just as likely to go out with three losses like Brazil :(

Could see some sort of mini group with USA, Italy & Ireland going down well in New York.

I think it's small time as fuck for the US Soccer Marketing arm to come up with this idea when the real task at hand is to do a wide scale review of everything that's wrong and actually start working on fixing it. But nah, let's host a tourney and make some money. I'm sure all of these nations with top players are going to want to risk injury and fatique at a summer loser tourney.

:lol::lol: good luck with that. You can suck the Fifa tit in 2026.

 

Can't imagine why that terrorist loving, liberal anti patriot Gary 'traitor' Lineker is front and centre of the story mind. Mustn't have any other photos available.

He's doing the draw for the tournament.
