Astroblack Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Yeah Kadar seems to have gradually forged out a decent career for himself. He's one of the experienced heads in that Hungary side in terms of caps. Although he's not playing now, It's weird how Nani is that for Portugal. Aye I did a double take recently when I saw he had well over 100 caps. Quaresma too. It's weird how that golden generation belatedly came good together last year even if it was in the most boring way possible. It's things like that that make me think that maybe just maybe, England can do it, too. As long as we get that crazy luck of the draw they got. And Speaking of boring, what a boring goal for Portugal to score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Tbf, Luxembourg are probably a bit underachieving. 600k population and surrounded by major footballing nations. Also a big immigrant population from other footballing nations (Portugal in particular). You'd expect them to be a bit better than a total minnow, but I guess growing up to become a banker or some shit is more pervasive to the youth.

Like I mentioned before Pjanic grew up there and came through their system, so they were unlucky to lose a star player there. Population wise they're bigger than Iceland and about the same size as Montenegro, so they really shouldn't be quite as bad as they have been.

ponsaelius Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Aye, lots of foreign-born residents who don't have full citizenship. A bit similar to Switzerland and their immigrant population. Can imagine that's offputting for somebody like Pjanic that half of his family didn't have passports but they wanted him to play for their team. I think they greatly relaxed the laws on naturalisation recently though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 What's happening with Scotland is normally what happens with me on FM. You get no good youths for ages then one's a left-back. Then in the next year's batch when you would love a cracking CM, you end up with the best prospect being another fecking LB. Also, how long before Michael O'Neill gets a good offer from the Championship at least? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Syria can get back in front against Iran (1-1 now) and Uzbekistan can nick one against SKorea (0-0 now), Syria will be going to WC. They'll get a play-off as it stands.
