Surely Iceland?

[Disco]

I feel disgusted. Who am I to support now? I hate everyone else.

 

Need to get behind Scandinavia's #1 outfit.

Also, while I adore our American posters this is some of the best schadenfreude since the last World Cup. Intensely funny from more or less every angle.

 

It'll be topped off nicely if Honduras do Australia n all.

[ElDiablo]

I will be rooting for Peru, Iceland and Egypt. Maybe England too if I can be arsed.

[SEMTEX]

As humorous as this is, this is not good for my watching-football-at-work potential.

I certainly hope Harry Kane doesn't fall down the goddamn stairs.

 

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.

Think you just shut the door on best foreigner, tbh.

 

Well I think that post by thomas was fucking shit and I'd never do that. Sorry Tommy boy.

Have not and will not ever give a fuck what you think. Choke on a dick, Kanji boy.

I like that we decided to not even wait for Pulisic's prime to begin before we started wasting it.

Sometimes you just gotta rip that band-aid right off. And the scab right along with it.

I've decided to store all my pride in how efficiently we're wasting it. He's gonna be pinging inch perfect crosses in to an actual dog wearing a bandana by 2025.

Shouldn’t have called you out. Sorry about.

[Mike]

Gotta say, England. It's pretty gauche of you to cross the boycoutt line and shuck and jive in front of that dictator.

No doubt, we'll be fans but we'll still know we're shit, 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.

2017. Knocked out and the World Cup and trump. What a time to be an American. Fuck off.

Well we're dicks and we adore our bag of shit national team. This shit sucks. So fuck y'all for enjoying it.

 

Gonna support the fuck out of Germany. I already know I'm gonna lean on the Hitler angle too. It's gonna be inappropriate as fuck.

[Mike]

Dave, unrelated but can you install that nazi newspaper font?

I find it funny and ironic that essentially a Mexico loss to Honduras is what sent the US out.

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 shit as well, or just because no one cares about you and your daft little excuse for a football team.

I long for the day I can make a Canada thread in the football section. All this American Exceptionalism is getting on my tits. FREE NAFTA.

[Kanj]

We don't deserve our own thread anyway, should be kept for teams that make world cups

Go back to page one. This shit didn't go over well at all. It was like RTG.

I'm a mix of English and Spanish but live in Canada and I am a citizen so frankly I'm embarrassed by the national team's lack of success in qualifying for any World Cups during my time here, shocking really , in theory Mexico, the US and Canada should be making the finals every time considering the populations, facilities and competition. I was actually pleasantly surprised when I first came to Canada by how great the facilities are here, in Calgary we have multiple youth teams kids can join, there are a number of full size pitches with goalposts in every community (hell when I grew up in Newcastle the only time I ever got to play with real goalposts was when I turned out for the school team). I've got my kids into excellent "soccer" (still hate that term) programs, and when they reach adulthood there is a well organised league association I used to play in when I first got here. The parents are also trying to push their kids more towards "soccer" than Ice Hockey (which is hugely expensive) and Canadian/American Football which is too violent for a lot of them. There is also an infinite amount football shown live on TV here. It's strange how all this has still resulted in a frankly pathetic men's national team.

 

Shame about the US not qualifying tbh, much prefer them to have made it than Argentina (i know it wasn't a straight fight between the two). But nice to see the smaller nations like Panama have their time in the light, hopefully they can spring a surprise or two at the finals (as long as it's not at England's expense, we've had enough embarrassing moments over the last few years).
