As in UEFA club tournaments? I believe Scotland was one of them, as Rangers' European run pushed them up to two CL spots which they'd never had before.

Just had a random thought - who took Russia’s continental qualification spots?

Rico Lewis deserves a senior call-up

[–] kaubojdzord@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sacchi's yea, Capello's less so, even through Capello never needed massive bottlejob to win the title in a better league at the time like Cruyff needed thrice.

Luis Diaz is a cold chested and useless player, Liverpool can keep him if they want, they don't do us any harm, take him and never give him back, thank you.

Even NFL doesn’t allow it lol

Both the Hull City boys on the scoresheet for England tonight 😎

I fully did not notice that Zaniolo was on loan at Villa. When did that happen? Why did Gala offload him?

[–] awfullyhotcoffeepot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I can’t think of a situation where your shoulder being ahead of the defender gives you an advantage (if your feet are in line).

Which is a huge asset in international football

It means they were better, therefore more impressive.

[–] ComradePoula@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Can't do anything but laugh about the Tonali news. If it ends up being true, what a heist honestly!

Furlani masterclass amirite?

Didn't the stock go up, too? But then fell again

[–] TheDassaultRafale@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Never thought I'd say this, but even though I'm a neutral, I'm legit excited for the Spain-Scotland game. It has all the ingredients to be a banger. Scotland has been doing well this qualifiers already and has all the confidence, and McTominay just comes off scoring a brace at Manchester United. Plus, Norway is playing Cyprus at the same time, and Spain is six points behind Scotland, but only two points ahead of Norway. So if both Scotland and Norway win tonight, Spain will essentially be third in the group. Theoretically disqualified, and nine points behind Scotland.

My popcorn is ready.

[–] GreatSpaniard@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We still have nations league route if we finish third

Why are all comments removed in threads like the one about the Premier Leagues statement on Gaza and Israel? All the comments had high upvotes I’m assuming they weren’t hateful

[–] Bbenn99@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Georgia 8 - 0 Thailand. Embarrassing.

The result of corruption and political struggle in Thai FA. Now our "golden generation" got to be a punching bag in the international stage.

Our best players can't get called up because the big club owners don't want them to play in "friendly" games, and the FA obey them like a little dog. We started a U-23 attacker who hasn't had a lick of senior game in TWO YEARS.

Kudos to Georgia and *uck the Thai FA.

[–] solgnaleb@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

not that I have great insights, but georgia seems to have one of their best national teams ever currently. as a German I know about the many "vilis" conquering our league a while ago, but I don't think they were as good as current georgia.

Iashvili, Kobiashvili, Tskitishvili, Arveladze and probably more I don't remember.

Pumped to get a 2-1 loss vs the Faroe Islands today.

[–] OweKeyDoughKey@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

An Inter Miami fan who purchased season tickets for $6802 this season was quoted $30,600 for the same tickets next season. I fully understand the economics of why the price increased like it did; it's probably one of the most in demand tickets in the world right now because of Messi.

That said, it's everything wrong with modern football that fans who were there when the team was absolute garbage and supported from the beginning are immediately priced out in the pursuit of more money as soon as the team gets good. It's shit like this that ruins the atmosphere and culture in stadiums.

[–] SpiritedSuccess5675@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most football players will be on high level performance things by the time theyre 18. They'd have had it drilled into them NOT to gamble. Also, the issue is not just gambling, but gambling on football specifically.

Its still really really stupid for active players to gamble on their own sport and games.

[–] Lethal-Sloth@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It always devolves into the same kind of discussion and arguments (not related to football). I'm happy the mods are doing it, if people want to discuss these things there are plenty of other places to do so.

Tbf I don't think anyone can know what Tonali did. Just unfortunate transfer if it's ended up being true

[–] RevivedHut425@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The money Rangers have spent in recent years on players that are constantly injured is genuinely horrific.

Kemar Roofe has played the equivalent of 50 full games for us in 3.5 years. If he's on £25k a week & we paid £4.5m for him, by the time his contract runs out this summer we will have spent £9.7m on him. That works out to £194,000 a full game, without accounting for any agent fees.

Tom Lawrence has barely kicked a ball for us in 15 months at the club, Yilmaz has played like 13 full games in the same time....I don't even want to add it up.

Serbia is not leaving the fourteenth district of our capital with points.

Ajvar is still better than erős pista though.

[–] Zepz367@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I agree with you. It would be really surprising to me if we even draw with you.

We're still swimming in that Tonali money. Gonna sign 10 more players in January just to make sure we spent all of it.

[–] teiraaaaaaa@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I can't wait to lose to a McTominay hat-trick on the national day 😍

How hard is it to just not bet as an athlete. You already have money

[–] enazj@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Aye I reckon they’ll both turn out to be great players for us tbf

any thread about bellingham is so fucking embarrassing. imagine having a problem with people raving about a young midfielder scoring a shit ton of goals in a foreign league and a new team

people just love to hate on any reason, especially english players

[–] xxxwhothis@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

There’s an official article where Messi admits that winning the ballon dor is of no more importance to him again so I don’t think fifa would consider him as a candidate this year…I guess It’s Haaland’s year 🎉

Sheesh Armenia. Against 10 men that’s sad

[–] avolcando@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Toney at CF, Tonali and Paqueta at CM, Gambling FC is starting to look really good.

[–] eyesindasky@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Article about Stourbridge FC on the Beeb today, hoping Jude Bellingham turns up at their match on Saturday. Probably not going to happen but would be mint if he does, particularly when he reports back to Real that they need to sign that Dinanga guy for £50mil

[–] ComradePoula@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Zaniolo upfront somewhere

[–] FaustRPeggi@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The British government is trying to force the FA to light up Wembley blue and white. Don't they realise that Gaza is a legend of English football? Don't they remember Euro 96?
