The College Dropout Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Ventura should probably leave the country... for good. Sweden are going to be damn awful to watch aren't they? Sweden under no pressure has actually played quite decent football. They've changed their way of playing. The game today doesn't really reflect their style the last few years imo. This At the world cup they'll have pressure. They'll probably take a draw for 2 of their group games and win the other to go through. Nah they won't, anything from here on is a bonus. You're not going to a WC and shrug if you get spanked 3-0. Only seem them today and I think when they lost to Holland. I hope i'm wrong. But I don't recall a Sweden side with much character since the Ljungberg, Larsson days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Italy have been unlucky. They get drawn in a group with Spain, and Sweden can be a tough nut to crack. I didn't see every minute of the 180, but Italy did carve out some chances. They'll be a miss. The Italians often play with skill and creativity.

Lush Vlad Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 International football is mind numbingly boring. I watched an hour of the game last night and I get there was a lot at stake, but it was just turgid shite. I wasn't sure who I wanted to qualify by the end of it. Probably neither Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I think I would have preferred the likes of Italy and Holland to have qualified. Not really sure why? As both have been shit and their current teams wouldn't have really added much to the competition. So I guess it must just be because I am used to seeing these teams at major competitions, more than anything. Always had a soft spot for the Dutch, mind. Growing up in the 90's, they had some amazing players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmoset Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I'll be in Italy during the world cup as my girlfriend is from there, was looking forward to the atmosphere and having a second team to support, bit gutted tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that i think it's ok but it's definitely not exclusive to the Italians. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Italy, no Holland, an average at best England side, and hosted by a country that nurtures racism and homophobia. It's got a lot to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Yeah it's disappointing Italy aren't there, will feel weird without them. On paper they've got some good players I'd have liked to have seen play as well, not sure what's gone wrong there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm perfectly happy not to see that at the World Cup. I'd put up with a bit of diving and rolling around if the alternative is a team with little quality defending in their own box for 90 minutes. I realise how shit a style my own national team have and don't blame anyone else for not wanting Ireland there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
